Is it normal to be obsessed with earwax?

"is it normal that I love to clean the wax out of peoples ears - even though it grosses me out, I can't stand it when people have dirty ears. Worst part is, nothing nasty ever comes out of my own ears, that is disappointing in itself

    i can't stop picking in my ears. I know that it is bad for them and to be honest i often think that if i left them alone for a couple of weeks i would have a much more satisfying time picking the wax out. i sometimes get jealous when i see people with big orange lumps in their ears but other peoples wax makes me sick . i once pulled what looked exactley like a raisin out of my ears and i kept it in a tissue and looked at it during work for about 2 weeks until my partner made me throw it away.i know i should feel embarrassed about that and it makes me sound like a boring weirdo but i couldn't give a flying f**k mate

    Oh My Gosh! I am completely obsessed with q-tips and cleaning my ears. I hate the feeling of dirty ears. I clean them everyday, which really isnt cleaning anything since I had just cleaned them the day before. I absolutly Hate and feel grossed out by other peoples ear wax that I can see when I'm next to them. I am always cleaning my husbands ears out- I just dont understand how others can go around with dirty ears. * Though I dont clean other random peoples ears that grosses me out too much, cause I know I would pull out a lot of wax.. gross..

    Ear wax is there for a reason. It protects against infection. Admittedly, it's possible to produce too much and for it to build up rather than fall out naturally. You have it too. It just falls out before it builds up.

    My dad used to have it a lot and used a hydrogen peroxide solution to dissolve it. When he was out, I used to use it too because it feels fizzy in your ears. Fun stuff!

      It feels really weird.. I'm not a fan of the wet feeling but the fizzyness it definitely enjoyable.
      I was showed it recently but my ears hardly ever have an excess so I avoid touching them altogether.

        I'm obsessed with fizzy, even in my ears. I want to invent a fizzy tap to go along with the hot and cold. And when I had a soda stream, I made fizzy coffee and fizzy milkshakes and even fizzy yoghurt. Fizzy makes me happy! I want a fizzy woman!

            Mental about the stuff! Haven't had it since I was about seven, though, and my imagination was a bit limited at seven. I think I could find new and interesting uses for it now I'm all grown up!

              I haven't even seen it in stores since I was young.. I wonder if it still exists.
              And new uses for candy? You're mad!
