What strange dislikes do you have, but you don’t know anyone else who feels the same?

I hate it when someone touches my knees 🙈

Wet floor and bare feet.

I have to brace myself when I go swimming!

Aquamarine1029 · 30/07/2021 01:17

Ooh! I'm sure I have several... I need time to think.

Dishwashing sponges,don't use them but just the thought makes me shudder.

Same! I have to wear aqua shoes at the swimming pool!

Cannot stand my collarbones or spine being touched, it literally gives me goose bumps. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Oh, and the absolute strangest one, I hate my bum cheeks touching. I have to wear women’s ‘shorts’ knickers to stop it happening!

NiceGerbil · 30/07/2021 01:26

Hi fives stroop!

I wish I could not feel like that though!

TheUnexpectedPickle · 30/07/2021 01:30

I hate cucumber. Bluuuurgh. Even the smell is gross.

Also hate wooden lolly sticks in my mouth. I have to lake the last bit off with my finger. The thought of licking a lolly stick is making my palms sweat right now!

YES! Dishwashing sponges should be outlawed. I don't know if I could knowingly eat out of a kitchen that has one.
ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 30/07/2021 01:47

I hate marshmallows. the texture is vile.
they're are the devil's spit

TheSkatesOfCoachBombay · 30/07/2021 02:07

The feel of quavers crisps. I can't touch them in the bag, makes me recoil.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/07/2021 02:09

Wet cellophane.
Paper straws
Bent cotton buds

BananaMilkshakeWithCream · 30/07/2021 17:29

I hate it when people play with or pull on their eyebrows. I have to look away when people do it 🤮 DH thought I was loopy when I told him but he never did it again, bless him!

VladmirsPoutine · 30/07/2021 18:30

When people open beer bottles with their teeth I want to scream!

30degreesandmeltinghere · 30/07/2021 18:32

Different variables of wood furniture in the same room...

Daisychainsandglitter · 30/07/2021 18:33

I hate having my hair played with. DD2 often tries to play hairdressers with me while I grimace. After more than a minute I have to tell her it's my turn to be the hairdresser. I absolutely can't stand it!

Mangozesty · 30/07/2021 18:37

Hate my hair being touched!

Happylittlethoughts · 30/07/2021 18:59

Paper touching my legs/arms

MadisonAvenue · 31/07/2021 00:17

I don’t like my nose being touched.

I hate my finger nails being messed with, I was given a voucher for a manicure for my birthday once and it never got used. I can do them myself but no one else can do them for me.

I can’t walk barefoot on flooring which isn’t my own. The thought of walking without socks in a hotel room freaks me out.

Are you me? I hate both of those things!

I also can’t drink out of a polystyrene cup!

Not drink from a paper straw!

And I hate the taste of grapefruit!

ALongHardWinter · 31/07/2021 00:24

niceGerbil This has bothered me ever since I was a kid. I can't bear the feeling of a wet floor under my feet. When I went swimming with my school at the age of about 8 or 9,I can remember my class teacher asking why I was scrunching my feet up when I was walking to the pool!

Pieceofpurplesky · 31/07/2021 00:47

Beetroot. The smell, the stained fingers and the fingery stalks (I swear they are evil little veg/people that come alive in the vegetable patch and steal babies).

Brackenandbramble · 31/07/2021 00:53

@Daisychainsandglitter send her my way, I love my hair being played with. I used to pay my little brother 20p to do my hair lol

TheUnquestionedAnswer · 31/07/2021 01:04

Open shoes/sandals, I hate my feet getting dirty.
Lolly sticks yes grim
The mixture of a recently used toilet and toothpaste - Boak
Sand on feet
Getting my socks wet/sleeves

HalloHello · 31/07/2021 01:29

Drinking out of metal cups/straws
Loud sudden noises make me irrationally angry
Anyone touching my face. Even my 3 year old knows not to haha

Bythemillpond · 31/07/2021 01:36

Bread bins. The type that have a slidy door
For some reason I hate the idea of crumbs in the hinges

Hair stuck in the plug hole makes me want to vomit

Monkey puzzle trees are just creepy.
