Mine is paper straws. They make my fingers tense up. Shudder.

Stuff growing out of holes, if that even makes sense. Or stuff randomly poking out of things.

@cheesytoasties I'm so pleased I'm not the only one. It's horrendous 😂

Men in flip flops

The skin of monkey nuts

Anerak · 10/09/2019 21:37

That should read 'shell of monkey nuts'

@Awwlookatmybabyspider

I'm exactly the same! That feeling of grim satisfaction when you tug a bit, and the whole lot comes up! BlushGrin

'Cheeky'

Cheeky drink

Cheeky kiss

Feduppluckingmychinhairs · 10/09/2019 21:41

Sugar paper
That vile green, rough paper in school/public toilets
Messy eaters

SlothRunner · 10/09/2019 21:58

Wooden spoons, the sound of someone repeatedly coughing or clearly their throat, the smell of wet metal, paper lolly sticks that go all soggy when they touch your lips 🤮

PrincessGinderella · 10/09/2019 21:59

Walking on grass especially barefooted gahhh.

Micro fibre clothes catching on my dry skin/nails

And the worst....swimming pool changing room floors. I take flip flops but still make me want to throw up. 🤮

Oh and biting tin foil

notso · 10/09/2019 22:14

So many things!
Trousers and shoes with no socks,
Wobbly foods,
Unglazed pottery,
Spiders, maggots, moths and butterflies,
Putting a cup, glass or similar down on a gritty table,
Dog slobber,
Dog poo,
Lots of holes together, like a crumpet,
Grinding teeth,
Ships out of water,
Massive man made things close up- I came over all peculiar at Jodrell Bank!,
Fish,
Eggs,
There more I can't think of at the moment.

Mrsjayy · 10/09/2019 22:22

When i see a kids wobbiliy tooth i go a weird clammy way it is horrible

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 10/09/2019 22:24

Veins. Can't stand them. I hate being able to see them and thank fuck I'm too fat to have those bumpy veiny arms.

Gertie75 · 10/09/2019 22:27

Adam's apple and especially feeling my own throat for one.

Scruffalicious · 10/09/2019 22:31

Clusters of holes. But I also adore crumpets, so I have to eat them upside down... Blush

OhHelpMaBoab · 10/09/2019 22:33

Ahh, but can't you feel the long holes in your mouth. I just can't crumpet, I want to, but I can't.

Scruffalicious · 10/09/2019 22:37

OhHelpMaBoab Nope, nope NOPE! Do not ruin this! I manage at the moment... don't take my crumpets from me!

3boysandabump · 10/09/2019 22:38

Anything made from paper or wood being in my mouth.

Scratching paper.

Touching paper of my hands have been recently wet.

OhHelpMaBoab · 10/09/2019 22:39

@Scruffalicious I fear it's too late for you now, the crumpet holes will be victorious once again.

Iamafanoffans · 10/09/2019 22:39

The sound of nails being filed. I was on a packed train once, trapped between the window and a nail filing woman, nearly ripped the damn thing out of her hands..

Similar theme, people doing their make up on the train. The fiddling, the clacking of brushes and plastic containers in the make up bag, the powder flying everywhere, elbows in my face.. I hate it. Do your make up in the privacy of your own home please.

Soggy sandwiches
Bin juice
Slugs
Bits in the sink
Seeing ppl come out of public loos and not wash their hands
Eating a bruised banana
