12 People Revealed the Most Disgusting Experience of Their Lives

Sometimes we encounter repulsive events or people. Unfortunately, such moments are etched in memory even better than something pleasant. Our today’s heroes shared their memories that they would prefer to forget.

• When I was a kid, there was this creepy little boy on our block. He was always drooling and his teeth, lips and tongue were stained black. I thought... maybe he was chewing on a pen and it broke? NOPE! One day, the truth reared its ugly head.
  It’s rainy season. I’m 7yrs old. The rain had stopped. All the kids are outside playing. I see this creepy kid come out, walk up to the flower bed, pickup a giant slug and pop it into his mouth. He then starts sucking on it!!! Maybe it was a texture thing? I have no clue. When he’d suck all the slim off, or so I thought, he’d spit it out and get a fresh one. Over and over until he couldn’t find any more slugs. That night I tell my mom and she doesn’t believe me. Until I show her the 50 empty slug skins in the gutter. Then it REALLY hits me. He was sucking the guts out of them. Have you ever accidentally stepped on a slug? They’re full of black inky goo. Hence, the black lips and teeth. © JustGotaBme / Reddit

• I once saw a lady change her baby on a table in the food court of the mall. It was at Christmastime, so there were tons of people around. She just didn’t care.
  I also told the custodial staff, “Hey, some lady just changed her baby on that table,” and they didn’t
  do anything. © ratsandfoxbats / Reddit
• Once on a midday regional train, the guy sitting next to me just pulled out a packet of floss and started flossing. Bits of food were visibly being flung from his teeth.
  He did that for like 10 minutes straight, then put away his floss. If that wasn’t bad enough, he then started to shove his fingers into his ears, clean them with his pinky finger, and wipe wax on his pants. © Blurryblanket / Reddit
• University library. Some unwashed, smelly old bearded guy always came there to use their free Wi-Fi. The stupid laughing was tolerable; I had headphones. Piling up a mountain of tangerine peels was tolerable; I like tangerines. But one day, he started clipping his dirty fingernails, and one flew straight at me.
  I went straight to the staff and got him kicked out. © Le_German_Face / Reddit

• I was sitting on the bench at a park when this homeless man approached me. He didn’t say a word, just threw a folded newspaper on my lap. Scared, I opened it to see what he wanted.
  Inside the paper was a repulsive sight — a grotesque, slimy mass of unidentified goo. It reeked of rot and decay. Without a word, the man disappeared into the shadows. It felt like a nightmare, but I was surely wide awake when it happened.
• Once, I was in the subway. A guy in front of me rushed towards me and picked something up from the floor right next to my foot. He put it in his mouth and started chewing on it. It was an old and stepped-on gum that was glued to the floor. © valoudev / Reddit
• A well-dressed woman sitting next to me at the bus stop was eating raw chicken that she’d clearly just bought at the grocery store up the street. I’d seen her for months on and off, waiting at the same time as me, probably going to and from work. But there she was in the middle of a South Texas summer, eating raw chicken like she was starving to death while waiting for the bus in 105-degree weather. © Unknown author / Reddit

• A homeless man arrived at our hospital with an abdominal abscess. We were trying to clean his wound and assess the damage, and when we reached inside, we were horrified to find that he had been hiding his money there. He nonchalantly stated that he kept his money tucked in there to protect it from being stolen. © DyingLion / Reddit
• Going home from school, I saw this lady wearing flip-flops on a rainy day. Thing is, she had these deep fissures at the bottom of her feet, and every time she took a step, you could see water flowing between the fissures. © StrkrJ / Reddit
• I was waiting for my turn at a fast food joint, stomach rumbling with anticipation. Finally, I reached the counter and ordered my usual burger combo. As I waited, I noticed a foul smell wafting from the kitchen.
  Ignoring it, I eagerly unwrapped my burger, only to find slimy tomatoes inside. Just as I was about to complain, a cockroach scurried out from under the bun. Horrified, I gagged and quickly pushed the meal away, losing my appetite entirely.

• I saw a woman on the metro blowing her nose into her dreadlocks. Based on the crustiness and smell, it appeared to be a routine habit for her. © epidemica / Reddit
• Many years ago, I worked on the grounds crew (think glorified trash man) at an amusement park outside of Atlanta. In this park, like many other parks, there were queues for the rides with separator rails made of welded 2″ pipe.
  One day, I was doing my thing outside one of these queues. Inside, there were a couple of young children, perhaps 5 to 8 years old, who were running up and down the empty queues with their open mouths sliding on the rails. Rails that had the grime from about a billion of hands on them. I gagged. I was used to doing the dirty work that kept the park clean, but this sight was beyond anything that I had expected to see. I never touched any of those rails again. © atomic_redneck / Reddit
