Pulling up weeds by the root - gives me shivers. I can’t even walk past them in the street.

Eye tests
Someone with a soft voice paying me close attention
Someone elegant filling out a form
Bob Ross painting happy trees

I have ASMR Grin

I get a sort of grim satisfaction from pulling up the hair from the shower plug. The longer and more clumpy, the better Blush

I like writing on a banana skin with a biro...that feels fantastic.

ChairmanMiaow123 · 05/10/2018 18:16

Ooh and the Food Surgeon chap on You Tube...the strawberry seeds one sends a wee shiver down my spine.

I too love a good mop!!!! Yes to mopping! The only annoyance is that in order to mop I have to hoover first 😒

TheYoungSharonStone · 05/10/2018 18:27

Oh dear, so I'm the only one who loves to 'bleed' radiators then?

Love taking off in aeroplane too, but get more of a thrill from landing. Fast, fast, fast then break!Grin

Getting into a very hot bath
Getting into fresh icy cold bed sheets
Pushing the flake right down into a 99 ice cream and eating it last.
Taking in a whole line full of dry fresh smelling washing
Winding up all the cotton reels properly in my sewing box
Cleaning out the fridge ready for the big shop
But most of all, when my grandchildren start to remember me after not seeing me for a week.

TroysMammy · 05/10/2018 19:53

Causeimunderyourspell drop it on the floor of course. Grin

There is a women on the till at my local shop, who takes such care when zapping my items through. For some reason, it makes me feel all tingly Confused

Idbemonica1 · 05/10/2018 20:01

The sound of rummaging through my make up bag.

caroline161 · 05/10/2018 20:09

I love emptying the dogs anal glands 😀

DoubleNegativePanda · 05/10/2018 20:26

Bubble Wrap

Clipping my cats claws

Squeezing spots and boils

Tweezing hairs

The first shower with a brand-new bar of soap

Watching youtube videos of sand-cutting with the sound turned all the way up

Watching youtube videos of silent cooking with the sound turned all the way up.

What???? 😂😂😂😂

Cheddarsmedders · 05/10/2018 20:34

Glad to hear so many of you are fellow creeps.

Yes to ingrown hairs.

Getting a stamp on an envelope really symmetrically.

Putting the food shop away

That first morning after moving house when you make a brew in the kitchen and everything is deep cleaned and a bit alien.

Picking those sticky ball seeds out of the cat’s belly fur

mineofuselessinformation · 05/10/2018 20:39

The feeling after I've cut my toenails.
I don't let them grow long (I couldn't bear it), but when they are freshly cut and I put my socks back on it feels good! Smile

Downtheroadfirstonleft · 05/10/2018 20:46

Clean sheets night. Ideally with no one else in the bed.

Hollipopsmum · 05/10/2018 20:48

Getting all the dirt / play doh out of the kids nails with my “Icker picker”
Also a fan of
Admiring my hung out washing
Cleaning the lint out of the tumble dryer filter
Rubbing between my toes
Sniffing the kids hair & cats fur

Chelsea26 · 05/10/2018 21:11

I can’t believe only one mention of thunderstorms!

Cracking a terry’s chocolate orange perfectly into segments

Packing my small car with so much stuff that few people could have fitted it all in but I’m a Tetris master so I did

Similarly getting large furniture upstairs/round corners logistically

And yes to all the gross ones - hello my people!
