Cardboard scraping against cardboard, slugs, seeing people pot-holing on TV.

Buttons - especially big brown ones 🤮

The little bits of yuck at the bottom of the washing-up bowl when you've finished washing up. Wearing gloves combats this mostly.

Cutlery scraping against plates, and people eating. Not all the time, but once I've "tuned in" to that sound it's all I hear. Ditto snoring, even the word makes me want to cringe.

Pulling apart cotton wool. Argh.

Dry wooden things. Wooden utensils don't exist in my house and I can't eat ice lollies because of the sticks. My Ds had a nursery project to build something out of lolly sticks and I had to get DH to help him because I couldn't watch him do it!

Lots of holes together, especially dark and on skin.

The sound cotton wool makes when you tear it apart.

OhHelpMaBoab · 10/09/2019 17:27

If you snag a fingernail and the thin top layer of nail peels away
