For me it's people (especially men - yes, I'm being sexist) who shake hands like a limp lettuce. Takes all myself control not to wipe my hand down my side ....

What's yours?

Agree with nails. I hate them so much. I like neat short nails and bent back nails make me want to vomit.

People touching my face. It's so personal and I hate it. The only person (bar me) who is allowed to touch my face is baby DS. He can pull my eye lids and scratch my cheeks as much as he likes.

I have trypophobia so for me it's Holes. Especially the lotus root that's morphed onto that woman's breast and onto someone's hand. I actually want to die when I see that image. Envy and also textured things and other things that are used to make other things. For example using 1ps to make a horses head

Polystyrene, spiders (large ones)

Empty swimming pools make me feel uneasy and I can’t explain why, they just do. Something feels really sinister about then.

Gotobloodysleep · 14/06/2020 20:06

Mice. We live on the back of woods and I've seen some in the garden. They give me sleepless nights, listening out for them scratching trying to get in Confused

Whattheduck · 14/06/2020 20:07

Wool
Frogs or Toads I can’t even look at a picture of them

Legoandloldolls · 14/06/2020 20:10

Massive house spiders that you dont quite catch. They turn up again I the exact same spot a few days later and scare the life out me.

I just hate they way they pop up then run off. Stay hidden or go out the window, dont creep up on me and jump out ( or hide in my underwear draw again - shudder)

Legoandloldolls · 14/06/2020 20:12

Also those stupid finding bigfoot documentaries. I guessif they exist they are shy and the USA.....

But I cant pull the blinds down after watching them late at night since one person on one of shows said she had a bigfoot stating through her window in the dark.

I dont even care if they are totally made up. It freaks my out totally. In fact I think its phobia level 🤣

I can't look underwater in a swimming pool if I've got goggles on incase I see a great white shark.

I am 35.

Frogs! Erratic little bastards you just don't know which way they are going to go!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 14/06/2020 20:27

Can I just say I love the word heebiejeebies? Grin

I think dogs tongues look like slices of gammon > shudders <

I can't bear to be tickled. Anywhere, it's bloody horrible.

Oh god, yes to empty swimming pools.

Mumoblue · 14/06/2020 20:29

People touching my feet

Spiders

Puppets. Which people usually say oh yeah that's normal but then they get utterly appalled that I dont like the Muppets. I'm sorry! It's their eyes...

Kissing people you've only just met (as in greetings - see First Dates for reference).

Namechange8471 · 14/06/2020 21:00

The sound a hard brush makes on concrete .

Bluewavescrashing · 14/06/2020 21:00

Mice, rats and a few other rodents
