About This Quiz
Most of us try to not be gross when we are around other people; some of that is because we are polite and that we were raised right, but a lot of it is simply because we want people to hang around us. Sure, once you have been in a relationship for a long time you might start being totally disgusting around your significant other, that tradition has been around since the beginning of time, but that is basically because the other person is trapped with you at that point.ÂÂ
But when we are alone it is a whole different ballgame; we walk around in sweatpants or dirty clothes, we don't shower or brush our teeth for long periods of time, we pick our nose, we fart, we burp and we chew with our mouths open. While a lot of us don't do all of that when it comes to the gross scale, it really is hard to know who is who, because of the fact that we don't know what happens when other people are alone. The most attractive and put together person could be the most disgusting person when they are alone. Where are you on the gross scale? Take this quiz to find out.
