Things that make you go bleugh

18 replies

EminyBOO · 01/11/2020 22:14

Just getting into bed and nearly forgot to take off my socks. The idea of wearing socks in bed makes me feel ill 🤢
As does touching polystyrene, cotton wool balls (I’m fine with pads) and dishes that have been cleaned in a dishwasher (I had a whole new kitchen put in a couple of years ago but no dishwasher).

Anyone else have any mundane things that you can’t do as they give you the bleugh?

Dragging my teeth along a lolly stick when all the ice cream has gone Envy (not envy)

Touching anything with wool in, even worse if it’s wet.
That disposable wooden cutlery since plastic was banned, I tried it once and my mouth was like ‘no, no, no!’
Having a crinkle in the bottom bedsheet where it’s come loose, have to get up and sort it no matter what the time or how cold it is.
Using big forks/spoons. I’ve got quite a small mouth and I feel like I’m gagging if they’re too big.

Metal cutlery banging my teeth and taking a drink of cold coffee, both make me gag.

Those magic sponges. The texture

Smallsteps88 · 01/11/2020 22:29

The feeling of paper straws in my mouth and also those plastic lids on take away tea cups. The tiny slit from which to drink.

Drinking the dregs/last slurp of a tea or coffee.

Wooden spoons, and cotton wool (particularly when imagining either against your teeth). Accidentally bending back your fingernail.

LongPauseNoAnswer · 01/11/2020 22:31

Corduroy. I shudder at the thought of touching it Envy (not envy)

Peasbewithyou · 01/11/2020 22:33

Sponge - not the cake variety the bath or dish variety. Or worse the volleyballs used at my school. shudders

@LongPauseNoAnswer

I'm worse for wear after touching velvet (particularly dresses)

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 01/11/2020 22:35

I'm with amymel2016. Lolly sticks. Bleurgh.

Fleece - in particular the cheap stuff they use for crappy kids clothing/blankets.

ItsNotPinkItsSalmon · 01/11/2020 22:39

The word Moist. Yuck.
Velvet.
Cotton Wool.
My DS ran his fingers down the wall and my whole body went numb! Grin
Grinding Teeth.
Hair, I don't like people's hair/head on me at all.
Loud Eaters especially the lip smackers.
I also don't like tiny holes. They make me feel physically ill. Fuck you crumpets.

Runny egg yolks. Ugh, I can hardly type it.

marriednotdead · 01/11/2020 23:11

How could I have forgotten- coils. Gynaecologist (and Dsis who found it life changing) have been trying to persuade me to have one for years. The mere thought makes me feel weird, almost lightheaded

bubblebubblebubbletrouble · 01/11/2020 23:15

Dry sponges - it sets my teeth on edge having to get a new dish sponge out of the packet
Wobbly teeth
Ankles - twists/sprains/breaks
Bleurghhh makes me feel sick just writing it down.

TroysMammy · 01/11/2020 23:16

Runny egg yolks too but funnily enough I can look at them when I'm using them. Also hard boiled eggs cut in half, they look like eyeballs.

My niece hates touching towels. As a result I have a damp bannister when she comes downstairs after being to the toilet (I assume it's water and not pee Shock)

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2020 23:16

Jelly. Food should not wobble as if alive.

EminyBOO · 02/11/2020 07:50

I can relate to so many of these!

Also, wool between teeth, and other people talking about their injuries, even a stubbed toe makes me feel all funny and my legs go wobbly.
