We all have those weird little habits at home – the ones we’d never admit to out in the world. Talking to your plants? Wearing the same fuzzy robe for a week straight? Maybe even tasting the batter before it’s fully cooked? Turns out, you’re not alone! Get ready to cringe (and maybe laugh a little) as you read through the quirky, mildly horrifying things we all secretly do when we think no one is watching.
1. You have, on occasion, stuck your finger up your nose and totally mined for gold.
We all do it, but would you ever do it with company over? Absolutely not. And sometimes, let’s be honest, you find a real treasure (yes, I feel gross even writing that). It feels oddly satisfying, even though it’s probably the grossest thing on the planet. Maybe we should all carry tiny tissues, just in case.
