What gives you the heebiejeebies?

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?

@Miljea oh yes. Swimming in v deep water too! I once had an amazing experience swimming with a pod of dolphins in open water at sea. But I was very aware of the yawning void of dark water beneath my flailing limbs!

Rats
Just awful

@biggiebiggiebiggie

Omg it's not just me then. Been terrified and creeped out since my dad got the video when I was 3. The video shop had a huge window display with figures and posters and it freaked me out every time we drove past. One Xmas my mum had to hide the TV mag because there was an picture that was the entire page. And recently with the Sky adverts. No. Just typing this has me in a cold sweat. I'm 35 and still shudder.

What,thismeansnothing? I scrolled back and couldn't find the previous reference! 😊

This building - specifically all the little windows in the roof. Terrifying.

Spiders
Wearing polyester on a hot day

Hair any where around food. I had to leave a restaurant once to throw up, absolutely beyond disgusting 😩.
Eating noises, chewing, slurping, saliva 🤮

Caricatures & polystyrene.

For me it's scraping your finhers/nails on paper, and the feel of some types of paper, especially paper-back books which does put me off reading alot which made me sad. I purchased an Amazon fire and now I read books on that.

Oh and heights, I can't even look at someone on TV at a height as it makes my stomach flip 🥴

wind turbines, they freak me out big time

Another one here for cutlery scraping on a plate.
Also when some women speak with a quiet, whispery, weak voice. I don't know why but Gail Platt on Corrie has always given me the creeps too.

The sound ice makes when you move stuff around in the freezer.

Snakes, especially how they move.

Musicals! I just can’t.

Meat, meat products, fish - Never eaten it, seems gross and dirty to me on a paranoid ocd level. Feels dirty ick like a human cadaver would to most. Try to hide it socially though, it’s more it coming into contact with my food, my own kitchen etc.

Other people’s wounds. Blood. I fainted after giving blood from that.

Ticks, ugh.

Oh, Jimmy Savilld.

Daddy-long-legs - they can reduce me to tears. They're always attracted to me too, like some relentless drunk on a night bus.

Raw sausages - I'm veggie, DH isn't, and although I have no problem cooking meat occasionally, I just can not pick up raw sausages. They're heavier than they should be. Or something. No problem picking up cooked ones though.

Dry rot - even a picture of that makes me go all clammy.

Tongue. As in the meat people eat.

Clowns.

Beetroot

Spiders
Slugs
People who slurp when eating
Steps or stairs without handrails
Fish bones
Suet
Milk

Leftover food thats been in the fridge, especially if the sauce has started to separate and is watery. eeeek. even though its not me eating it, my stomach heaves.

The sound of socks touching DH dry skin on his feet.

Anyone walking around in socks or eeeeek tights, the sound...on the carpet or tiles or even worse if they sit on a bar stool and their foot touches the metal foot rest. Cannot stand it.

@Sunstar16 Me too!!

Accidentally getting cat food on my fingers when I'm dishing it up for my cat. Makes my skin crawl!

People I don't really know touching my arm

Furry spiders

Clowns

Touching meat like ribs/wings

The damp feeling of a dog has licked my hand

Driving over bridges. Why do they have such small barriers?

Wet tea leaves. The thought of touching them gives me the Heebie jeebies. Thank goodness for tea bags. Also nails scrapping down a blackboard or someone running their fingers along the top of a comb.

Wet carpet
Milk
Gaping mouths 🤢
Heights, especially seeing videos of people free climbing. I go weak in the knees.

Eyeballs 😩
There ok in general but I can't stand to see anybody rubbing there eyes or applying mascara 🤢.
And the thought of eyedrops makes me feel physically sick .
