The clapping hands gif you see on Facebook. It reminds me of clergy.
Those disposable flossers, when people throw them on the ground, they make me feel sick.

Any more?

Plasters in swimming pools. Hair/hair balls in swimming pool changing rooms. The sole of someone’s dirty socks.

I don't go swimming for this very reason. It's making my toes curl just thinking about it!

Screwed up tissues on the floor. 🤢 🤧

Things clinging to me. I loathe the feel of cobwebs, and when I was a child I had a meltdown whilst swimming in the sea; and some frondy seaweed wrapped itself round my legs.

Wet bath mats generally, even in my own house (have kids old enough to shower and bathe themselves, young enough to ignore me about hanging the fucking sodden bathmat up).

Men who used to wink at me when I was younger...I think it was because my grandad did it and he was a bit too touchy for my childlike mind. Ewwwwwww.

People carrying empty carrier bags by the handles, so they flap about.
Creeps me out and makes me angry.
Watching someone put something in their mouth, even a graphic/cartoon of the motion. Gives me the full on heebie jeebies. I think my brain can blank it when I'm eating with family or friends. I've trained myself to not see it.

Swimming pool floors especially the floor in the changing rooms and thr toilets

Human hair. In a sink or shower drain. Mainly only creepy when it is detached from the body but I still don't think I'd like to be a hairdresser.

The absolute worst sort of human hair creepiness is that Victorian hair jewellery from dead relatives. I saw some of that stuff at the Bronte museum in Haworth when I was about nine and I obviously still haven't forgotten it.

Wigs.
