The most disgusting thing you ever saw …

#

Started by mrs h

I was in a charity shop yesterday, and I glanced over at the bric a brac shelf. I then did a couple of double-takes, rubbed my eyes a bit and tried again, but it was still there. A 10” ceramic giraffe’s head on a pedestal. Next to the head was what was supposed to be a baby giraffe, I guess - except the whole baby was smaller than the mother’s head. And the mother had orange eyes, which were pointing in different directions.

If you can beat that for foulness you win the mystery prize :)

And how much did you pay for it? Less than a five figure sum?

That is because your mind is telling you that the piece probably resembles a giraffes head. In actual fact i only worked it out because of those horrible wobbly things they have between their ears …

Are you sure it was a bag of rubbish? Maybe there was a fox or a badger inside? :)

The toilets in the old Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam about 12 years ago , before they did the place up and when there was a match on that pulled a full house.
Still getting shivers thinking of it.

The smell outside any gents toilet is enough to convince me of how bad that must have been.

My sister once tripped on a step whilst going to a portaloo at a festival, just as she was reaching to push the door open. She shot forward and plunged her arm straight down the bog!! She still has nightmares about that :D

I could go on and on about this fella cos he is in cradley folklore. All sorts of stories about him with his sister, and animals. I kid ya not, i really wish i was making it up. I feel grubby even remembering the stories.

A few weeks ago one of our local chazwicks had a collection of hedgehogs, literally about 100 little figurines, they were vile. I did take a photograph, but I can’t find it. However, I have seen many things far more repellent.

Here are some vile rubbery birds on a plastic branch - if you press the red button once, they make bird noises and if you press it twice they sing a song. The birds actually move and open their ugly little beaks, it’s horrid. Not content with that torment, my flatmate raided a skip on Wednesday night and came home with this, which he has put in the garden to ward off potential burglars. And postmen. And friends :(

lol, please do! (Do come over, haven’t seen you in ages :()

We’ve decided the only thing to do with it is torment more people - so we’re going to go and leave it on our friend Paul’s doorstep on Friday night :D

When I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago we saw a mother getting her young son to take a piss in the street in a fancy shopping district at mid afternoon. They weren’t trying to hide it either, the stream was arcing across the pavement into a drain.

It’s probably not the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely the only time I’ve ever had to literally rub my eyes in disbelief. All the rumours I’d heard about the French were true! ;)

I was at a free festival a few years ago, there was a mother with a young child standing behind me. The kid had to pee, instead of taking it to the (free) toilets, his mother took out an empty coke bottle, and let the kid pee in it (luckily it was boy ;)). The kid finished, and the mother emptied the bottle right where she stood,… behind me… I looked down saw it flowing right under my shoes :mad:

@ Soul Doubt - I once had to go for a pee in a wood in the middle of the night. It was pitch black and I was very drunk, so I was really pleased with myself that I came out of the wood with dry feet, until I realised my bag was sopping wet!! My mates thought it was hysterical… :rolleyes:
