addictions

weirdest most out-there addictions so
don’t expect to see such common examples
as party drugs alcohol gambling or
smoking to be considered for this list
there should be more than one documented
case of the addiction meaning that
Margaret and her addiction to bee stings
won’t be making the cut I really love
stinging myself with bees number 10
smelling gasoline Oh
oh Christ that’s good stuff that’s high
test let’s get a – yeah yeah go for it
go for it sure we did say no drugs but
this substance is really a form of fuel
first and an inhalant second inhaling
the fumes that rise from gasoline leads
to intoxication and your point is you
don’t like it go upstairs
considering the gasoline itself isn’t
consumed just the vapors a small amount
of gasoline goes a very long way and as
such is commonly associated with poverty
this addiction is known to be
particularly prevalent in low-income
communities in Australia the effects of
sniffing gasoline are fast-acting
hitting the user in a matter of minutes
let’s blast off engage thrusters captain
euphoria disorientation lack of
coordination a sense of numbness and in
some cases hallucinations follow shortly
after and I love the smell of gasoline
yeah
gives you brain damage unfortunately the
health repercussions are serious and
death among individuals who use gasoline
as an inhalant is common she takes a
sniff every 10 minutes and even wakes up
in the middle of the night
for a fix number 9 cosmetic surgery I’ve
had 125 procedures from a cheap high to
costly elective surgeries addiction can
take many forms
body modification of any kind can be
addictive but while other forms like
tattooing and piercing provide an
addictive rush of endorphins and
adrenaline as a result of the pain
inherent to the modifications an
addiction to cosmetic surgery which is
typically performed using a variety of
pain numbing anesthetics stems from body
dysmorphic disorder or BDD they had told
me that weight gain was part of kind of
the the side effect of having
the exact cause of BDD is unclear but
it’s characterized by an overwhelming
sense of dissatisfaction with one’s
physical appearance plastic surgery
might make you look good on the outside
but you still might feel bad on the
inside but I’d look good on the outside
right yeah but you’d feel bad inside
plastic surgery it is in the case of
cosmetic surgery addiction an
unrealistic pursuit of an ever-changing
idea of physical perfection results in
patients undergoing endless surgeries to
appease their sense of dysmorphia I’ll
keep on going until they have other loss
nails in my coffin number eight tanning
it to each his own to each his own I
like to tan it’s been unkindly labeled
tanorexia by the media but neither
anorexia nor tanning dependency should
be treated lightly they’re both serious
conditions associated with mental health
a dose of vitamin D is great for health
so long as exposure to UV rays is
minimized but individuals who go to
tanning salons daily or multiple times a
day are doing more than pursuing
unreasonable self-imposed ideas of
beauty they’re drastically increasing
their risks of cancer what are you doing
go to keep the tan up it’s not a skin
color it’s a lifestyle Brian serious
tanning addict like self-proclaimed
tanorexic Trisha Paytas may be well
aware that their habit is a problem but
just can’t stop if the one and a healthy
thing that I do is going to kill me then
oh wow a 2005 study published in the
archives of dermatology estimates that
as many as 50% of regular beachgoers
could be considered addicts number 7
hair pulling
pulling your hair out
it’s a classic bit of imagery used to
convey stress or worry I was pulling so
much then I got rid of most of my hair
and it was uncontrollable
however common it may be it’s actually a
compulsive habit that affects an
estimated 11 million Americans this
psychological condition referred to as
trichotillomania isn’t just limited to
the head some pull out hairs from their
eyebrows arms legs armpits or even pubic
region I have is I like to pluck my
pubes while more subtle than other forms
of self-harm hair pulling stems from the
same psychological need to exercise
control over the human body when one
feels a lack of control over other
aspects of their life in either personal
or professional spheres see my scalp
parts right now like it hurts I’m on my
hair last night in some cases
trichotillomania acts even ingest their
own hair after pulling it out number six
attending funerals do dine a hang
gliding accident what an idiot
Will Ferrell’s character might have
considered it the perfect pickup
strategy in wedding crashers
but his tendency to pop into a funeral
uninvited is a full-blown addiction for
some Louise squat easy of bateau Tice
brazil attends every funeral in his
hometown becoming somewhat of a local
celebrity from an outside perspective
squad AZ might simply come across as an
extremely community oriented and
sympathetic figure
but his habit bears too many of the
classic characteristics of a dependence
to ignore I know what it’s like to lose
a father he quit his job in order to
feed his habit and if he doesn’t manage
to attend multiple funerals a week he
reports feeling physically ill as we all
know Lionel could be a bit of a
curmudgeon but he had the heart of a
lion
squat easy isn’t the only person
suffering from this condition but he’s
certainly the most open about it
number five drinking urine so I just
drank my own pea for the first time
hey bad uh the consumption of urine or
your aphagia actually isn’t that
uncommon you’d keep your mouth shut if
you knew it was good for you buddy
people have historically consumed it for
numerous reasons including alternative
health and beauty treatments or dietary
regimens health practitioners strongly
advise against it however Kari of
Colorado Springs opened up about her
europe-asia
admitting that she consumes almost all
the urine that passes through her body
by hearing the smell depending what a
she admits to loving the taste and
believes it’s beneficial to her fight
against cancer one man on the other hand
is addicted to drinking not his own
urine but rather the urine of young boys
explaining that it makes him feel
younger
Robert collecting the urine could be
very traumatizing to the children if
they knew what he was doing despite
knowing full well that there’s no
science to back it up he truly believes
it fights the effects of aging number
for eating furniture reason why I’m not
eating my own mattress is because I ate
my mattress already looking for a
convenient snack to pair with that glass
of urine how about the sofa or this lazy
boy Hika
is a particular eating disorder where
the individual feels compelled to eat in
edible or non-food substances while many
PICUs sufferers are drawn to consuming
inedible bodily substances like urine or
human hair other cases have been
reported in which people begin consuming
drywall I love everything about fiber
and household furniture particularly
foam furniture stuffing Adelle Edwards
of Bradenton Florida actually buy
secondhand furniture to feed her
addiction but first tests the foam
inside to make sure it’s the kind she
likes I just pick little bite-sized
pieces and snack on it all day
Vicki Cullen developed a taste for
sponges and the foam found in her
armchair during pregnancy and never
stopped
number three coffee enemas as they raise
the bucket 32 ounces of coffee fills
there : coffee it’s probably one of the
most common addictions in modern society
but what if you’re looking for something
with a little more kick to start your
day
well some people prefer to ingest their
coffee from the other end by inserting a
lubricated hose into their anus and
performing a coffee enema why cuz when
taken in the form of an enema the
caffeine in coffee is absorbed directly
into the bloodstream providing a quick
and powerful pick-me-up the likes of
which a cup of joe could never
accomplish you don’t drink it
Dunkin colonics good coffee enema legion
clean as a whistle some people believe
it has significant health benefits
although that position is controversial
Mike and Trina Eliot each gave
themselves up to 100 coffee enemas per
month her addiction is so intense she
does up to 4 every day number 2 drinking
blood one of the most unfortunate things
about being a vampire that you have to
drink human blood I like to make a real
evening of it if you’re a vampire then
drinking blood is a matter of survival
for the average day walking human
drinking blood is considered more than a
little odd blood is as important as
water to me many cultures historically
drank animal blood like the Masai people
but the consumption of human blood
also known as clinical vampirism or
Renfield syndrome can prove not only
addictive but also deadly never a bad
time for me to drink blood the condition
had previously been observed in
psychological studies of extremely
violent criminals more recently this
addiction stems from an obsession with
vampires or a small minority of people
who actually find that human blood cures
them of fatigue headaches and other
discomforts relief from which these
real-life vampires claim to not be able
to find via any traditional medical
treatment ever tried drinking blood
well it works you know before we unveil
our number one pick here is an honorable
mention but I usually save some in my
mouth just so I can have some later
number one eating feces she would have
given cake boys
something top eating poop or copper
fascia is among one of the more
disturbing forms of Piko syndrome
scientists don’t know what causes Piko
although some believe it may be related
to deficiencies in minerals like iron
but none of these obsessions works to
compensate for nutritional imbalances so
its exact cause remains a mystery that
is so golf is good is it is it sweet
first week copper fascia can take three
forms hetero specifics the consumption
of feces from different species aloe
Kapoor foggy feces from another person
and Otto coprophagy the consumption of
one’s own feces apart from pika copper
fascia has been observed in severe cases
of schizophrenia and individuals with
prader-willi syndrome what do you put in
here that makes it taste so good the
strangest thing about this gag-inducing
addiction is it’s actually more common
than most others on this list do you
agree with our list can you think of any
other extremely odd addictions no one
thought to do it always thought you know
please think whatever but for more
stranger than fiction top 10s published
