Q tips - a gross habit

That would drive me CRAZY!!! I can't NOT dig in my ear with a QTip! Sometimes I like to do both ears at once for a little of what the French call "Manage-au-Swab"...

I call it ear flossing

I knew you had some dark secret vices, Tim ... but putting Q-tips in your ear?! I am horrified! ;)

I can't do it daily, but yeah, either when I feel sick, or when it just feels wonky or itchy, I disregard the box and hit the end of whatever lets a q-tip touch it in my ears very carefully, with the awareness that if an earthquake happened RIGHT THEN, I'd be deaf, but otherwise, it's been ok. A horrifying extraction of wax later, all is well with the world. For a while.
