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

The inside of my wrists. Can't touch them. Can't look at them without cringing.

@Sunnysidegold bin juice... and everything else you said.

Prince Andrew, even before the recent scandal

If he'd not been born into royalty I can't imagine for a second he could have made something of himself.

Not seen it for years but remember being a child and feeling revulsion at seeing a ‘skin’ on hot drinks.

Definitely microfiber cloths. I can't buy them

People sniffing and hearing the snot sucked back in

When I was teaching, a creepy small boy (about fourteen but short for his age) came up to me and put his arms around my waist. Urgh. Skin crawls now, thinking about it. He's probably in his forties by now.

Spittle at the corners of someone's mouth

Dogs drool

Man made 'soft' throws/cushions/rugs/clothes...natural materials-wool/cotton/velvet all fine. Man made stuff repels me when I touch it

Beachcomber My window cleaner froths at the mouth. He doesnt draw breath either once he gets going. It makes me feel sick to look at it!!

Michael Gove. He reminds me of the creature in the Shape of Water

I hate the way people say bin juice. Why don’t you have clean bins?

Unpolished or unvarnished wood.
Soft doughy flesh that doesn't have any muscle tone (unless it's a baby or little kid). Especially if the skin is very white.
Very long hair, unless it's plaited tightly. By that I mean anything longer than bra strap.
Hair extensions or wigs that don't serm like real hair, they have like a nylony sheen.
Toddlers and young kids eating.

😳🤣

The feel of wet clothes

didldidi · 11/09/2019 18:34

Wearing them that is - not wet laundry

bornonasunday · 11/09/2019 18:45

Oooh yes, I’m with the wooden chip forks, lolly sticks against my teeth🤮 Also getting stuff out of polystyrene, yuk - that horrid squeaking😱 the smell of diesel at fairgrounds, and machinery and especially hot metal, like welding, I have to cover my nose! Dentistry (even if you can’t feel anything - you can still HEAR it) slugs and anything that crawls or slithers, fresh fish (slimy🤮) men’s feet ... and white wobbly fat in summer, overflowing from clothes!!!

bornonasunday · 11/09/2019 19:07

Just thought of a few more... hair flickers - the silly girls who can’t keep their head still & keep flicking it round for attention -if it gets too close to me I just want to tug it out!! People who stir hot drinks really loudly and tap the edge of the mug with their spoon. People who tap the bar at my work, for attention - yes, I know you’re there - but I am already serving someone - just bloody wait!!! Someone’s breath on you 🤮 if it’s a stranger I struggle not to heave, it feels far too intimate!! The sound of watery vomit hitting the pavement🤮🤮 the sound of my dogs upset stomach hitting the patio. Sitting on a seat that’s still warm, I really hate this!! People clicking pen tops, Someone filing metal makes my teeth want to jump out of my mouth. Cotton Wool, crunchy velour or velvet. The sound of my bloody alarm clock!😡

Sitting on a seat that’s still warm, I really hate this Yes, it’s unpleasantly intimate Grin

Most definitely other people's feet🤢🤮 Dirty kitchen sinks 🤢🤮🤮. Hearing other people swallow when they drink coffee / tea / water - that's particularly horrible.
