These 50 Men Share The Creepiest Things Women Have Done To Them

Some habits can come off as a little creepy or just downright uncomfortable, even if the person doing them doesn’t mean any harm. The funny thing is, most of the time, they don’t even realize how strange it looks from the outside.

Pointing these things out (in a kind way, of course) can be a total game-changer. Sometimes all it takes is a little feedback for someone to go, “Wait, I never thought of it like that!” and suddenly they’re more mindful. The best part? A small adjustment can make life way less awkward for everyone involved.

Of course, not every odd or gross habit is easy to shake off. Some are just quirks we all live with, while others are so ingrained they feel almost impossible to change. But let’s be honest, there are plenty of everyday behaviors that are within our control.

And when fixing them makes life cleaner, smoother, and more comfortable for the people around us, why not? Especially when it comes to hygiene in social situations because really, nobody wants to be “that person” who spreads a cold to the whole party or ruins dessert with questionable habits.

Now, take blowing out candles on a cake, for example. It might feel like a fun, innocent birthday tradition, but think about it, you're basically blasting your saliva all over the dessert everyone’s about to eat.

Once you picture it, it’s hard to un-see. Imagine dozens of little spit particles landing on that frosting. Yikes. Some people now do alternatives, like waving a hand over the flame or using a separate cupcake. A little adjustment, and suddenly, birthday cake feels a whole lot more appetizing.

Or licking your fingers when eating from shared plates. Sure, it might feel satisfying to clean that cheesy goodness or sticky sauce right off your hands, but when you’re reaching back into a communal bowl? Hard pass. It’s like sharing both the nachos and your germs. A napkin or even a quick trip to wash your hands solves everything. Plus, you’ll look way less like the person nobody wants to sit next to at dinner.

Another one that makes people cringe? Sitting on someone’s bed in your outdoor clothes. It may sound picky, but think about it, those jeans have been on train seats, public benches, maybe even the ground. And now they’re on someone’s pillows? Not cute. Even if you don’t mind a little dirt, a lot of people find it super gross. The fix is simple: just sit on a chair, or ask if it’s okay first. Boundaries matter, even with beds.

Then there’s skipping handwashing. Honestly, it’s one of those “so simple but so often forgotten” things. Clean hands can prevent so many germs from spreading, yet plenty of people still walk right past the sink. It takes, what, 20 seconds? Wash, rinse, done. Not only does it keep you healthier, but it also spares everyone else from silently wondering if you touched the snacks afterward.
