Swimming pools. Cess pits - I don’t care if chlorine supposedly kills germs in them.
All those grotty feet, the body hair, people peeing in them, and bums and other bits that may not have been cleaned properly...🤢

And when you hear someone on the radio and their mouth is obviously dry and it goes all clicky. Can’t stand it.

Oh yes, that makes my toes curl. I vividly remember the film critic Danny Leigh always sounding like that on the Film Programme (telly not radio). I used to long for someone to get him a glass of water.

Public pools generally but especially the floors. I can't go without wearing flip flops as I don't want to pick up people's manky foot diseases 🤮

Also people eating with their mouths open, and eating crunchy foods slowly in quiet places Envy

The sound of a few people clapping. I dont mind a massive audience clap but when a few people do it, it makes me want to pull off both of my ears.

I sat in the chair and looked steadfastedly in the opposite direction.
