Non sexual or non relationship everyday things that give you the ick?

[Floogal]

What seemingly innocuous things make you cringe or even feel nauseous?
Mine are:
*Over ripe bananas. The smell, texture and taste. Oh and the veiney bits.
*Being on the bus on a wet day. The stale steam everywhere and smell of damp clothes 🤢

• Those waxy farmer jackets. Not so much what they look like, but the smell of them

Sniffing on public transport or even worse, a really aggressive snort and ‘hoick’ back up
of snot so you can hear it in the person’s throat. Just blow your bloody nose. Boak boak boak.

Swimming pool changing room floors 🤢

A hair in the washing up bowl that's wraps round my hand or the sponge.

Wtf's a fuddle?

Thick gel nails. That unnatural plasticy, thickness is just rank. On myself or on others.

Hyperbolically stupid statements, 'There's nothing worse, is there?' about something inane. Yes, there is.

People who don't clean their teeth. Bork

Skid marks in the toilet. HOW do people think it's OK to leave it like that?

Bare feet, including my own

The words - my dear, darling, babe, henchmen and thugs written in books.

The whiskers on the walrus from the virgin broadband advert.

People pulling pouts in photos.

People declaring themselves “obsessed” about some rubbish or another.

This one is a little off but here goes - men with small eyes, thin lips and over-styled hair.

Always find it funny when people complain about long nails. I’ve always found it so much easier to scrub underneath them than when they’re very short. Probably more of a you problem than a them problem. People with long nails can still adhere to hygiene easily. And yeah, even with very short nails you can need to scrub up that tiny bit that protrudes when stuff gets under there but it’s actually painful. I shouldn’t need to list examples. It’s such an ignorant outlook to have 🙄
Think along the lines of little kid with short trimmed nails. It’s more than easy to get gross stuff stuck in there. If you’re that bothered about hand hygiene you should realise you don’t get a free pass just because your nails are short 🙄 clean your nails like everyone else manages to do. Ridiculous. Allergic to nail brushes with anti bac handwash on top? Or anti bac gel that’s so easy to get down the back of long nails right to where they meet your fingers?

Whispy combovers. Especially if they are long. Just shave it off and be done with it or get a toupee /wig

People coming out of toilets with conspicuously dry hands

Gristle in meat - so much so I have been vegetarian for quite a few years now. It genuinely makes me gag, sometimes actually throw up. Gross

Scaly skin on anyone, anywhere. Whether a baby with cradle cap or an older person with scaly legs /elbows /feet. I can't look at it

The horror of the gunk in the little filter /funnel thingy at the back of the fridge. How the fuck does it get there? What the fuck is it? It smells poisonous

Marshall from "How I met your mother" eating.

I have no idea why. I don't find the actor particularly unattractive, he's not a messy eater, he doesn't chew with his mouth open.

But for some reason I cannot define, any scene where he's eating something makes me feel physically ill.

Men on the street walking along with their families who ogle at other women and teenaged girls.

I'll add stubby pig noses to the men facial features ick

All corporate lingo and buzz words 🤢

Perhaps there should be: it would keep the many “pet hate” threads (and there are LOADS of them) in one place.

Supermarkets that have bread and pastries in open topped trays to help yourself too. Notice it most in Morrisons, M&S and Waitrose.

I shop in both but I never buy anything from those trays, never know who has coughed, sneezed or just touched any of the products.

Yuk!!

There could be reason for this: sharp suited men remind me of Boris Johnson, bankers, candidates on The Apprentice, and others who wear a suit to look more trustworthy.

Related to this, I remember reading advice in a book about dating telling women not to wear a suit on a first date. It said: there’s nothing wrong with being a high-flying career girl, but women in suits scare men - it reminds them of their headmistress, or the woman who negotiated their mortgage.

Totally agree. And I never eat food at places like that

Those big, hairy beards that some men have. I don't mind the neat, shaped ones a bit George Michael style but those awful scraggy hipster ones make me want to heave. I just keep thinking of all the food that could be stuck somewhere in them.

It also looks at times like someone has stuck a load of pubes all over their face as the hairs look really short and curly. 😳

Public toilets. FULL STOP.

Also damp shower curtains, just shower curtains in general actually.

Mould.

Flying ants.

Cling film.

Completely agree!
I belong to a sports club where one of the members is obsessed with organising events that involve ‘bring a dish’🤮

So no picnics ever? I love a picnic

I am so with you! I never forgave Boris Johnson for that, before he was elected Mayor of London he said that if he was elected he'd put air conditioning on the underground. Just one of his many lies but completely unforgivable!

Omg!!!!!!! I cannot stand workmen using my loo. Ugh!!!

People bragging about their looks

Ready made sandwiches in the triangular boxes. I can't imagine eating one!!! I know it's just me!
