World over, men have almost always been on the scale of cleanliness. While some are total freaks when it comes to hygiene, there are some who are complete slovens. The perfectly coiffed cut, spice and leather fragrances might be a front behind which lurks an unhygienic nose picker!
Here is a list of top 10 unhealthy habits of men that women find truly annoying and drives them nuts!
Hand in the nose/mouth
How gross is that! Not only is it unhygienic, but etiquette demands that you don’t pick your nose in public. In addition, nose picking can lead to various infections. We all know that cold virus is passed into the body through the mucus membranes. Sticking your finger into the nose after coming in contact with contaminated surfaces is a sure way to give yourself a bout of bad cold. Also, since the nose is situated so close to the brain, they share the same blood supply. And an infection in the nose could be dangerous. So, refrain yourself from ‘digging gold’. In addition, trying to pull out remains of lunch from your mouth is yet another sore sight!

Bathroom hygiene
Is it so difficult to wash your hands once you’ve visited the bathroom? A research carried out by a school of hygiene found that only one in three men actually wash their hands with soap. Unwashed hands are the easiest way of spreading infection and germs. So guys, there is nothing wrong in lathering up even if you think of it as ‘waste of time’, your health is more important, right?

Peeing on the toilet seat
It could be the middle of the night or broad daylight, they could be groggy or wide awake, they will still do it. It’s not rocket science to aim right inside and pee into the big bowl. Puddles of urine on the toilet seat and around the base of the toilet are not just unhygienic, but downright dirty!

Scratching in public
Why is that men have to constantly scratching and readjust themselves in public all the time. It’s embarrassing.

Hygiene issues or humid weather could be the reasons for the itch, but do try to contain yourself until you reach someplace private to scratch your ‘privates’. Cleanliness could be the key to stop the ‘itch’.

What is the hurry and if it is so important, speak and then eat. Nobody relishes food when it lands on your face from the other person’s mouth. Were you not taught in kindergarten NOT to talk with your mouth full, to chew, swallow and then speak!
