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!
User1357 · 30/07/2021 01:24

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.
