Do we really want to watch people brush their teeth?

I would hate to have side by side washbasins in our bathroom, its the one place I insist on privacy,and who wants to watch someone else brushing their teeth.
One thing I can stand,and it is standard in Sweden where we live, its people using tooth picks in a restaurant, particularly when I am still eating,its really disgusting, what a horrible habit.

Have you seen the trailer for "breeders" seen from the back actor urinating in his bathroom whilst on the phone, doubly disgusting

Grannycool52 - I totally agree. Who wants to see men at urinals? Not me!

I agree about most of the above - cleaning teeth and spitting out, going to the loo, vomiting, graphic sex. Also, when they show men (usually police officers!) standing at urinals, shaking then zipping their trousers up. I know these are normal activities but I don't feel the need to watch them!

I really dont like it either. Also I hate it when people take a bite of food and attempt to hold a conversation with their mouths full. My mam always told me it was rude.

It's probably because the people who write these shows actually can't come up with enough interesting dialogue to fill the allotted time. It's a bit like comedians who swear every other word. Take out the profanitiess and their act would be about 10 minutes long instead of an hour.

I am not very observant, its not something I've noticed. Maybe I watch the wrong programmes.???

I agree also hate seeing people on toilets and having sex much prefer the old idea of going into the bedroom and shutting the door. I think it degrades the whole act of love.

Hate the advert where the woman is brushing her teeth and spits into the sink showing blood. Disgusting. I rang the complaints line and expressed my concern. If there’s just the two of us, we have a tray on our laps at teatime. Having to watch that whilst eating puts me right off!
I think it’s worked because I haven’t seen it since.

No, I don’t want to see it either. I too would hate side by side wash basins, I like absolute privacy when doing my ablutions!

I wonder if there is anybody on this thread who has posted on the boring thread.
If so, I wonder if they see themselves ?

I had to laugh at this post. Cleaning teeth is part of life. Nowt wrong with it. We all do it every day. For goodness sake...if you are going to post something, make it more interesting...hahahaha

I was shown round a house with two loos in the bathroom, now that really is yuk - no one wasn't a bidet.

Oh yes the teeth brushing, washing, showering, scrubbing and too-close close-ups!

The sound of any scrubbing brushes (includes toothbrush) makes me get goose-bumps and shivers, like some people do when they hear nails on a blackboard

For a reason I can't fathom I always have to look away when TV programmes show men having a shave, with foam etc. All that scraping and face stretching makes me shudder!

turn tele over every time mouthwash advert comes on .i find it disgusting .

that is worthy of a Dr Seuss line

Yes. And I really, really hate the sex on the kitchen counter cliche. It has been so overdone.
(Just imagine they’ll be preparing food there later!!!)

I have also heard that dentists advocate not rinsing one’s mouth out after brushing. It’s a fairly new thing, I think.

Personally, I never feel fresh if I don’t rinse afterwards.

The vomiting is a particular hate - why do we need to see mouthfulls of coloured make up department stuff when it could be done so more discreetly? I also really dislike the tonsil tennis type of kisses - and yes, the poor table manners with cutlery waving about, and people eating with mouths open. I also wonder why most people don't eat the food they have ordered - there is usually a steaming row and one person storms off, leaving the food untouched. Intolerant type, aren't I?

I drives me crazy. I have to look away every time.

During 'In the Pursuit of Love' on Sunday it did seem a bit too much when the two girls had relieved themselves in neighbouring cubicles we had to see Lily James wiping herself too.

No they did not wash their hands after!

Strange thing to have to watch! What'll be next I'm wondering!!!!!

what's worse is when they show people on the loo!!!!!

I hate seeing people putting food into their mouths and chewing with their mouths open. Very bad manners.

Even worse is when they show people vomiting!

Especially if it is an evening when you have decided to have supper on a tray in front of the TV!
