Strange dislikes

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 🙈

Feeling my pulse on my wrist with my thumb! With my fingers it’s fine but if I feel it with a thumb I can’t bear it.

I don't like food with seeds inside. I can't deal with it. If I buy a melon I have to steel myself to cut into it. When I see the seeds I shiver. It's the same with butternut squash...................

I don't like food or hair caught up in plugholes. I keep all mine clean.

I do not like seeing people with disgusting feet in sandals. Hard skin and toenails that are not cut revolt me, and I tend to look at the owner of said feet and wonder what else they do not look after.

Dirty fingernails also revolt me

Things being dusted with icing sugar.

It actually makes me feel angry.

Perfectly nice golden crust and some complete bastard fucks it up with overly sweet dust.

It looks shit and it tastes gross.

Being shown the insides of people's mouths inadvertently. Such as when they laugh loudly. I have to immediately look away.

Repetitive banging noises make me want to scream and/or cry.

I can't stand it when a dog or cat is laying with their paws folded under their leg, I have to go and straighten them out. Blush

The banging and repetitive noise thing is misophonia, it's the pits. I literally vomit when I can hear a shovel hitting the pavement or road. Sad

People eating slowly. I'd rather see someone eating like a pig and ramming food into their mouth!

Seeing someone else brush their teeth, yuck

HummingBeeBox · 31/07/2021 04:05

Toothpaste. I have to read while I brush my teeth to take my mind off it

HummingBeeBox · 31/07/2021 04:06

@twointhemorning yep that too! I really struggle when camping

Feather12 · 31/07/2021 04:11

Feathers and teeth (not in someone’s mouth, but kids milk teeth etc)

Feather12 · 31/07/2021 04:13

Balloons used in cooking, to make chocolate cups etc. I had such an extreme reaction when I saw this recently that I think my family are now scared.

romdowa · 31/07/2021 04:24

Wet wool or wet cotton wool makes me want to vomit 🤢

joystir59 · 31/07/2021 04:28

Don't like anyone playing with or touching my hair

flameycakes · 31/07/2021 04:40

The tails being left on prawns.

ShaunaTheSheep · 31/07/2021 04:52

The absorbent layer under meat in plastic packaging. Feel sick just typing that 🤮

joolzfromyork · 31/07/2021 05:39

The feel of suede under my fingernails ...

Awww crap, wish I hadn't typed that now /shiver/

AdditionalCharacter · 31/07/2021 05:43

I hate putting my hand in a sink of cold water to pull the plug out. Have to get someone else to do it.

lovablequalities · 31/07/2021 06:07

Balloons

My face being touched

My middle dc HATES a warm loo seat. She always has to go first.

MaidEdithofAragon · 31/07/2021 06:16

My ankle bones touching each other. Have to wear thick bed socks all year round to make sure they don't touch. Makes me feel sick just to think about it.

LEMtheoriginal · 31/07/2021 06:20

Going to the hairdressers. People were losing their minds over lockdown hair, i was happy that i had an excuse for unstyled, limp hsir with split ends. I cannot stand looking at myself in the mirror at the best of times, but having to make small talk with someone while they try to do something with my shit hair. Gives me anxiety.

lannistunut · 31/07/2021 06:21

Hate long grass tickling my legs while walking, have to always wear trousers when not on pavements to prevent it.

lannistunut · 31/07/2021 06:23

I am the same as you about hairdressers @LEMtheoriginal

Have to pretty much meditate to get through it, have a wet cut to escape faster. It is easier now I take a book and refuse to speak.

Arrowheart · 31/07/2021 06:24

Feet and wet floors especially swimming pool toilets. I think I'd rather wet myself than have to go into a toilet with bare feet 🤢🤮

HuntingoftheSnark · 31/07/2021 06:30

People rubbing their eyes. I can't stand it.
The absolute worst is to do with teeth, and I can't type it, but it relates to a child's milk teeth.
