17 Slightly Gross Things Everyone Finds Weirdly Satisfying

This post will make you feel sick and satisfied in equal measure.

1. Inspecting the gunk from your blackhead strip.

2. Or better, squeezing a blackhead and watching it pop out in a long and lovely trail.

3. Pulling out an ingrown hair.

4. Picking out a really hard and crusty bogey that's been stuck in your nose.

5. Or blowing your nose into a tissue and then inspecting the contents closely.

6. Cleaning out the earwax from your ears and being happy about all of the dirt on the cotton bud.

Better than sex, guys.

7. Peeling your dry skin and marvelling at the precious wispy flake.

8. Waxing a body part and looking at all of the hairs stuck to the strip.

9. Using a tongue scraper and being fascinating by the muck that comes off.

10. Digging out the dirt from underneath your fingernails.

11. Picking out food that's stuck in your teeth.

12. Unloading a massive poo.

13. Popping and picking a blister on your little toe.

14. Or picking off an almost-healed scab.

15. Scrubbing and rubbing your body hard until you see the little rolls of greyish dirt on your hands.

16. Picking out the crusted sleep from the corners of your eyes, especially the bits in your eyelashes.

17. And of course, squeezing a ripe and juicy spot until it pops.
