Things that shouldn't but really ick you out.

[substitutingsleepwithcaffeinee]

Has anybody got any weird things that usual people find normal but make you feel v uncomfortable. Mine are I hate dripping water or the feeling of wet cardboard or toilet paper. It makes me cringe wholeheartedly, No idea why.

Pumice stone.

Also when you have the cab of a lorry driving round with no lorry attached, it makes me feel a bit weird

Polystyrene is the devil’s work, as is cheap velour/fleece material.
I can’t bear the feel of warm expelled air from the vacuum cleaner.

The bottom cm in a cup of tea. I just boak at the last cm or so.

No idea why.

Close-up on adverts of mouths - eating, drinking , saying stuff.

Don't know why, but it enrages me

Nail files urgh! I don't mind someone else filing my nails but I hate doing it myself.
When you wake up with your teeth firmly clamped together.
People making slurpy noises when they eat / drink Bleugh!

Sorry that was a bit garbled. But say for example, a chewing gum advert where there's a close-up of somebody shovelling a stick of gum into their mouth. That sort of thing.

Makes me punchy.

Children’s loose teeth. I cannot even look when they wiggle them.

Shudde

The pruney skin on fingers and toes when you've sat in the bath/pool for too long
I go shivery just thinking of it.

Smell of other people's fruity yogurts makes me feel ill. I can eat them and not mind but when it's someone else's, it's awful. It was difficult weaning DS...

Veins.

Gertrude - surely that's marginally better than a cold toilet seat 😆. One of mine is when front teeth kind of clash together when eating, sort of an overbite. Luckily it's a rare thing.

Houseplants

Anything containing sandalwood. To me, it has an undercurrent of flatulence as if someone has sprayed a perfume/air-freshener around to cover up a stomach upset.

Yes! To the close ups of mouths on tv. Especially men with facial hair, or sweaty type taking a big bite of a large burger or chicken drumsticks, that kind of thing. Stomach churning.

I can't stand seeing condensation or whatever it is, dripping from a car exhaust and leaving a trail. Similarly when a lorry has water dribbling from the back door as it trundles along... It's foul and I don't know why!
Other people's fridges. I don't enjoy going in them, even clean people.
Treading in cold puddles of water in swimming pool changing rooms. Lots of dirty water issues here, clearly!

Symmetrical holes. Makes me feel creepy.

The diagram of teeth in a babies mouth before they come through the gum. I could vomit now.

Yes to hair that's not attached, the last bit of tea and close ups of mouths! I always leave a bit of tea in the bottom of my cup, it drives my husband mad as he always assumes it's empty and tips it
I hate pockets, I can use them or put my hands in them. I also hate toothpaste dribble when other people are cleaning their teeth

Microfibre cloths and the feel of terracotta pots turn my stomach.

I find teeth really unpleasant even to think about, even nice teeth and don't like it if I can see or feel the shape of people's teeth through their face. My dentist once showed me a giant image of all my teeth on a screen, and I felt awful for ages afterwards. Even now, it makes me shudder.

Dry skin rubbing on clothes eg hands

Adults using the word 'ick'

Other people's fridges.

YES! Feels weirdly intrusive and always smells wrong.

I've just realised that I also get twitchy with other people rummaging in our fridge, even DH and DCs. How odd

Teeth biting on a fork, now I've got the image in my mind after typing that and just the the thought of the noise makes my ears stand on end inside.

In the morning when a few people have done a wee (don't flush at night as it's super noisy) I once jokingly called it 'wee stew' and now it makes me feel like gagging (I imagine the yellow soggy loo roll in my throat)

Well, that was gross, sorry!

The bit of skin between your thumb and pointy finger. It makes me so squeamish.

I accidentally sliced through mine while cutting vegetables so it makes me very squeamish now.

Cold toilet seat is far preferable to a warm one.

I hate a warm bed too. If DH goes to bed before me he knows to stay on his side because I can't bear warm sheets/duvet even when its freezing weather. I need a cold bed because I can't sleep unless I'm a little bit chilled.

Eating noises, particularly crunching. I have to have the radio on at mealtimes for background noise to distract me from eating sounds.

I hate the noise of wine being poured in to a glass it makes me cringe. I like to drink it though !

Being surrounded by crowds of people. Makes me feel slightly nauseous being in close proximity to them e.g. in a busy railway station. Ugh.
