Baked beans.
It’s almost a phobia and I banned them from the house after seeing the remnants on plates in the dishwasher, the smell, stained Tupperware and tins in the recycling.
Just seeing a tin on a supermarket shelf makes me shudder.
The words “snack” and “supper” I heard someone say “cold sups” once and it still annoys me years later.
Wet towels - especially used by someone else 🤢.
People sharing desserts in a restaurant, it’s worse when it’s ice cream.
I had to leave the table watching two friends putting their spoons in their mouths then back into the bowl.
I agree with the pp about people using spoons as well unless for soup or ice cream.
On the same theme, people walking round licking an ice cream.
Sticky children, all small children always seem grubby and sticky and if they approach for a hug I feel panicky.
Small children shouting when they need their bums wiped when I visit friends.
Other people’s house smells when they have been cooking - especially something greasy. I’m so glad the trend for deep fat dryers and chip pans has gone.
Cat litter trays, even when clean.
Prawn crackers - I have left a restaurant before when people were eating during a group meal. All I could hear was crunching in stereo and the way people were grabbing at them in the communal dish made me feel sick.
Also the word “meal”.
Unmade beds, just makes me picture the sweat and stains and the thought of people farting all night. The sight of the cover all rumpled makes me think it’s all open to the air and the smells are all “released”.
Hair on the hairdressers floor and people scratching their heads in public.
Untidy cars.
My best friend has a bin in her car she rarely empties with no lid.
It’s full of empty food containers and her car stinks of McDonalds fries.
People on the radio, podcasts or audiobooks with dry mouths where you can hear it.
I was listening to a brilliant Dorothy Koomson book and had to turn it off because of this. I noticed lots of people mentioned it in the reviews as well.
Women who laugh loudly and performatively in public.
Women with put on high pitched voices or who talk in a fake baby voice.
That voice influencers and people on YouTube use - the “Heyyyyyy guyyyyys” and then over
annunciate their words.
Molly Mae on the persil advert is a good example and annoyed me so much I started a thread about it 😂.
Food in cinemas and theatres - especially when shared.
I don’t know how people can hear over their own crunching and it’s almost like some people just go to eat.
The thought of multiple unwashed hands in a popcorn bucket makes my skin crawl.
People who say they are “nipping” somewhere like “nipping to the shops” or car.
I am neurodivergent and struggle through life with being so easily irritated.
Loop earplugs help with sounds but I’ve loved reading this thread and seeing so many of the things that really bother me listed, it’s made me feel less alone!
