" The advice was completely unsolicited , and I had no approximation who this humanity was and have n’t seen him since , but it does work . "
When it comes to advice, sometimes the “grossest” tips can be the most beneficial. So when Reddit useru/MarbleMimicasked, “What disgusting advice ended up being actually helpful?” many people had their own opinions on the matter. Here’s what they had to say below.
1.“Visually check your bowel movements after you have them for any changes.”
2.“Someone told me at summer camp that his brother got food poisoning one time and was throwing up and having diarrhea at the same time. He mentioned he should have sat on the toilet and puked in the trash can. Fast-forward 30 years, and I ate gas station cole slaw, and this tip saved my bathroom decor.”

3.“If you see someone have a motorcycle accident, and you are the first responder, do not remove their helmet. Plenty have had their neck injuries exacerbated by untrained people yanking on the helmet to pull it off. Let the paramedics arrive and let them handle it. Unless you are trained in first aid, you are more likely to hurt them.”
4.“Always close the toilet seat lid before you flush.”

5.“Always close your mouth when doing a diaper change on a baby.”
6.“Use your own spit to get blood stains fully out. The enzymes from your own saliva will break down your own blood.”

' I was dying laughing at his reaction to me saying , ' spatter on it . Yes . Just pitter-patter on it ! try on it ! ' Even more hilarious , I had no idea if it would actually work ; I ’d only say about it . But it did work , and really well . It just sound wild ! "

7.“This shouldn’t be disgusting, but many people aren’t comfortable with it: Installing a bidet is a game changer.”
8.“One time at a bus stop, an old man told me that if I get hair in my mouth while eating out a woman, I can get it out of the mouth by licking the inside of her thigh. The advice was completely unsolicited, and I had no idea who this man was and haven’t seen him since, but it does work.”

9.“If you frequently get skid marks in your underwear, it’s probably less to do with your butt-wiping abilities and more to do with your diet of junk food. That stuff glides out of you like greased lightning.”
10.“Sucking snot out of baby’s nose makes things better for all involved. Baby sleeps better, and mom sleeps better. The little tube contraptions to do it seemed gross as hell at first, but you get used to it, and the results are worth it.”

" Before I remembered the small suction thermionic valve subsist , I had the visual of someone put their back talk over a baby ’s anterior naris and slurp snot out of their nozzle .
I fucking choke . "

11.“If you have to throw up but need to get to the toilet in time, start to hum loudly. You can’t throw up while you’re humming. You have to hurry, though. It saves only a few seconds.”
12.“Not ‘disgusting’ per se, but toilet-related. Get a Squatty Potty or toilet stool, and correct your ‘pooping posture.’ It literally has made a world of difference to me. It’s so much easier and more comfortable.”

13.And finally, “I remember watchingGirl Codeon MTV years and years ago, and they said to flush your poop as it comes out if you don’t want it to stink in a public restroom. It works.”
