Yes. The mot symbol. I find it creepy.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 06/06/2020 17:45

I've told dh we are never getting a Volvo!

Bargebill19 · 06/06/2020 17:51

The Caravan and Motorhome Club logo - it’s yuck.

DoorKnobber · 06/06/2020 18:05

Is that tondo with the fear of holes thing OP? Tricodecophobia or something

DoorKnobber · 06/06/2020 18:07

Googled it... Trypophobia. I warn you it’s fucking disgusting if you google it

Roads going down hills. Not a scooby doo why. [biscuitGrin

Mydoghasbettereyebrowsthanme · 06/06/2020 18:09

Sorry- that was an accidental biscuit !

Sharkyfan · 06/06/2020 19:15

The cheese grater

Sharkyfan · 06/06/2020 19:16

And signet rings, especially the ones with black bits.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 06/06/2020 19:19

This is horrible - sorry - but magazines, because I sometimes get intrusive thoughts about dragging the pages between my fingers and giving myself the mother of all papercuts on the webbing bit. Ditto pampas grass.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 06/06/2020 19:20

Oh, and big hoop earrings because I can't stop thinking about what could happen.

IHeartKingThistle · 06/06/2020 19:22

Plastic document wallets, all slippery and static. Urgh. Unfortunately I have to encounter the fuckers on a daily basis.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 06/06/2020 19:32

The blue motorway sign. When I drove, it terrified me that I was going to have to drive on one.

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 06/06/2020 19:36

Polystyrene. Just seeing the stuff sets my teeth on edge. Can't bear to touch it myself or hear it being touched by someone else.

pastapestoparmesan · 06/06/2020 19:39

Fruit bowls, especially with a mixture of fruit in them. I’m cringing just thinking about it!

Captainrachy · 06/06/2020 20:09

The feeling of painted walls. Even the thought of it sends shivers through me.

BlueGreenYellowRed · 06/06/2020 20:14

The feeling of velvet or corduroy makes me shudder

Duffmcstockings · 06/06/2020 20:23

Canadian people on South Park. Their heads!!!

iwilltaketwoplease · 06/06/2020 20:40

@JesusInTheCabbageVan I get intrusive thoughts when i use the blender, horrible!

Alyssum34456 · 06/06/2020 20:44

Belly button rings. I keep imagining them getting caught whilst trampolining (sorry).

jbee1979 · 06/06/2020 20:55

Skirting boards. What is the point of collecting dust?

LonginesPrime · 06/06/2020 20:59

The sound of plastic bags rustling.

Nicolastuffedone · 06/06/2020 21:00

I hate to see babies in slings......I can’t look! The thought of mum tripping and falling 🙈🙈🙈

MrsJackRackham · 06/06/2020 21:01

Polo necks, bleugh. They make the wearer's head look as if it's just balancing there and could roll off at any time Confused

borntohula · 06/06/2020 21:04

@MrsJackRackham you would love 'The Green Ribbon.'
