Every day items that make you feel uneasy

[SauvignonBlanketyBlank]

I cant stand to see the Volvo logo at the front of cars, the one with the circle and the line running through it.Its not a phobia I just dont like the ways it makes me feel if I see it.Am I weird ? Does anyone else get this?

This bit of the m5...eurgh

Electricity pylons. They proper freak me out if I'm near them. If I'm passing them on a running route, I literally sprint past them!

Mince. Can't relax for a moment eating it, get fat or gristle suddenly. Only touch veggie mince

Plastic chopping boards, even worse if scraped or scrubbed or if two rub together when being pulled out of a drawer! 🤮

Balloons if they squeak or some blowing them up, I’m out of there,

My DMum hates buttons and my DAuntie hates stickers. I can't cope with sharp knives when my anxiety is bad.

tampons 🤢

Wet wooden spoons. Also bamboo toothbrushes.

@ MacavityTheDentistsCat people always look at me like I’m completely mad when I tell them about my polystyrene hatred/phobia. It’s awful stuff. First world problem I know, but it makes getting a take away and unpacking electrical goods really tricky doesn’t it?

Cotton wool, especially the stuff where you have to pull it apart. It makes me feel all funny just thinking about it.

Also those toe socks that people had that were like gloves. The thought of rubbing your toes together and feeling that material makes me gag.

@Holothane. Completely with you on the balloons. I’m ok with the foil ones but the rubber ones urgh. I especially hate that horrible crunchy sound rubber balloons make when they land on carpet-it really makes me shudder. No one else seems to get this.

InvisibleToEveryone I know, and am also terrified of, that bit of the M5. Can’t believe people on your link voted it their favourite motorway!

Print that is proportionately too big to read a flow of text on a page.

Swimming pool cubicals. Claustropobia, low ceilings, dim lighting and sensory overload from the humidity and echo. Public nudity in a single sex communal changing room is so much easier.

I have the holes thing too. Trypophobia. Didn't know it was a thing until a few years ago when it brought back childhood memories of dreaming about holes on the backs of my hands. Ugh. Can't look at anything honeycomb-y without shuddering, can't stand on a doormat with holes in and as for the inside of a foxglove - oh my days ...

Shower curtains. Nasty things that attach themselves to you if you get too close. I have glass shower screens in all my showers, so it is a rare problem.

Not having a sheet between me and my duvet. I just can’t sleep if the duvet+cover is touching me. I have to have a flat sheet between me and the said duvet.

Crisps terrify me especially empty packets. I can't be in the same room as someone eating them

Toe socks and those weird trainer type shoes with toes. What are they even for?

Those huge wind thingies that blot the county side....they will start walking and get us as we sleep

Oh that bit of the M5....we were on it one day and something unidentified hit our roof box really hard with a bang. I was driving and we all shrieked WTF WAS THAT?! Pulled over as soon as it was safe, convinced there’d be a huge dent in the roof box and some sign of something....anything......

Nothing.

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

Finally! Not just me

Even worse is people holding them perched on their arm, facing forward, other arm not around them, little legs dangling down. Omg how can you?

Me too redrec, didn't know about the insides of foxgloves, shudder

Dish cloths in sinks. Like a ball of germs and then they wipe the kitchen surface 🤮

Beetroot. Nasty, blood-stained beetroot plates
