  • Don't eat fast food.
    Don't touch door knobs.

    1/12 of a liter is about 1/3 cup...I swim 1/2 hour at a time and never swallow any water. This figure is suspect.

    Swallow 5 insects, ok so what...more protein.

    Shake hands with a man that has masturbated...well I guess I would be THAT man...hahaha

    • I remember my brother got a burrito once and it had an eaten blow pop stick still with some candy residue on it. It was disgusting but we never went and reported the guy. My mom had an idea of who it was since we saw that dude with another candy in his mouth.

  • Well I don't swim... I barely eat at fast food restaurants and I barely shake men hands 'cuz I already think they r super gross. However I do ride the metro and I am pretty sure there is a whole list of nastiness that I come in contact with thats why I take epsom salt bath and drink epsom salt to cleanse my body of toxins. I also spray essential oils on my bed and bugs hate the stuff!! They stay far away from me and my bed.

  • I only belive the pubic hair statistic, though its not only fastfood. At Olive Garden I have found suspiciously short hair strands in my pasta on several occasions... So I do belive it to be true.

  • Hmm it doesn't make much of a difference as long as i don't notice it, and fact number 3 is a wrong estimation.
    Id rather say 1 pubic hair every 10 years and around 4 "normal" hairs annually.(i don't know where you're getting your fast food)

  • I already knew these facts were bullshit, lol. Just wanted to troll a bit! Here's my opinion on these facts...

    1. This fact is somewhat true. Only people who swim in the pool underwater or dive straight in have a possibility of unawaringly ingesting urine, or even fecal matter, that's mixed in with the pool water. Everyone knows that at least some inconsiderate people do their business in water bodies every year...ew.

    2. Somewhat true, but the number varies from person to person. Also depends if you even come in contact with doorknobs. (Sliding doors, whee)

    3. Actually this sounds like it can be trusted. Maybe not pubic hair, but maybe eyelashes or short, small strands of hair.

    4. Probably not true, if you live in a fairly clean home. I think the only insect that could be swallowed without detection is an ant.

    5. I also laughed at this fact. Yes, it's too low. MUCH too low. In fact, even girls masturbate, so I think shaking hands with almost anybody would have you indirectly touch their orgasm juices/etc.

    Thanks to everyone who commented! :)

    • When you wipe or touch down there you have traces of hair that will come off. Its possible it can rub of when you touch services. Though if anyone who found that in there food is going to complain.

  • All these 'facts' are the kind of fallacies endlessly circulated on the internet that actually have no valid surveys or studies corroborating them, but enough people believe whatever they read that it becomes "common knowledge". Bollocks.

  • The pool one is definitely not true, that would be impossible really. Whose pool? What size is the pool? I personally don't swallow virtually ANY pool water, let alone enough to have that "fact" be possible.

    I'd KNOW if I had hair or a bug in my mouth, sleeping or not. Shit, I wake up instantly if a bug lands on my skin, let alone my mouth. And I don't know about anyone else but I don't even swallow when I sleep anyway so that doesn't seem very likely to happen at all.

    Doorknobs, well perhaps if you go into public every day and touch enough doorknobs it could be true. I am home most days so how could that be true for me?

    The last one, whoa-only 3?? I'm sure it's waaaayyyyy more than that. It's probably more like 50% of the men you shake hands with. I've NEVER seen a guy purposely go wash his hands after masturbating. Maybe some do, I'm just saying I've never seen it. The most I've seen them do is wipe off with the closest item that has any absorbency properties.

      • Maybe so, but you've got to realize that YOU might be shaking their hands....Someone is. I know more than 3 guys who are like that and I'm SURE they each shake hands with many, many people in a year.

    • Well, shit, to boot...I've jacked off a guy here and there in my day and not washed my hand so it's not just dudes who can spread the "inadvertent dick touch"...THINK about it...

  • Other: I call bullshit on all of these "facts". Is there some truth to them? Yes. However, there's no way to pinpoint these occurrences to an exact number. Everyone lives there lives differently. Some people may never come into contact with these, while others the numbers may be way higher..

    • Um, yeah, this was supposed to gross people out. This poll was just for some childish fun. Why so serious?

      And I really don't see why you have to bash American people...and actually write your personal particulars here. For future viewers of your comment on this poll, you're going to make yourself look like a racist bitch.

      Good day.

          • I am sorry, but I just re read my postings here and I have not mentioned this here, that they were uncalled for, and I know I was hurting alot of persons here personally and I am truly sorry for that. I in the past several weeks have done alot of thinking and really realised that some of my posting were hitting too many folks too hard below the belt, and me am sorry for that really. But I still think the post is disgusting. Please forgive me for the hurtful remarks sir or ma'me that I posted here, would like to try and "WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN" and start a new. If not, then so be it, I DESERVE WHAT I AM GETTING. I am a big mouthed and rude Cannuck and sorry for it take care.
