Things that weirdly give you thrills ?

[Cheddarsmedders]

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

For those of you that enjoy de-hairing things have you tried running a squeegee thingy or a rubber glove over carpet such as the stairs? It gets everything the vacuum missed. I proudly showed my boss the hairball I had created from her carpet and she heaved 😂

Peeling a good scab
Popping a spot
Removing a black head
When you pluck an eyebrow hair and it has a huge root on it
Picking a huge bogey (sorry )

I turn the shower onbefore I get in to let it warm up, I feel so accomplished when I turn it on and pull my hand away quick enough so I don’t get it wet. I’m sad I know 😂

Love these!

Polishing kitchen sink or any taps after descaling. THE SHINE! Yes!

When I see buds of bulb based flowers coming out in the spring on my balcony and I touch them. They feel so chunky, solid and new - life coming back to earth

When I'm using brown tape to tape a parcel and it goes on straight. Yeah!

Using a cotton bud to clean my own or my Partners ears, and coming out with a large lump of wax, the darker orange the better. Mine is never very good sadly but partners usually great.

I had facial surgery a few years back that involved my jaw and nose (not cosmetic, very much medical). When I went home from the hospital after a few days, they told me to keep gently cleaning the congealed blood out of my nose with a damp cotton bud. After a few days I pulled out the hugest lump of dried blood - was ecstatic. Put it on the mantlepiece to show my Partber when he got home.

Watching DH reversing and parallel parking into a space... But using the palm of his hand to use the steering wheel. No idea why, but that simple manoeuvre gives me the fancy gallops!

When you pluck an eyebrow hair and it has a huge root on it Oh my yes, this is always so satisfying!

Also when I've very congested and trying to blow my nose but nothing comes out. Then blowing hard enough to pop my brain and a huge bogey bangs out into the tissue like it's shot from a gun. The relief is instant.

I'm so disgusting.

If I was Tom Hardy's wife, I'd have fancy gallops too.

Cleaning my ears with a cotton bud. And I have to give the end of the cotton bud a little lick before it goes in my ear..

Nothing beats the feeling of plunging into cold water in a river, lake or the sea.

Seeing very large things when I'm not expecting it... e.g. Driving along a normal road, rounding a corner and suddenly right in front of you, seeing a massive dam wall - happened on the road between Meribel and Val de-Sere. Gives me chilly thrills. Similar thing happened driving the road through Glen Coe too. Just had to swear an awful lot. Pics and videos just don't do that place justice. Happened again when minding my own business driving on south coast of Spain, suddenly seeing the rock of Gibraltar looming through the mist at me. Not sure if my map reading skills need to improve if I wasn't expecting fucking Gibraltar mind

Finishing a bottle of shampoo/conditioner/shower gel that I've become a bit bored of, but persevered with to the end.

When unpicking some sewing, then pulling the broken bits of thread out, sometimes they are really long. It's like squeezing a spot that just goes on and on

Cleaning the colander when it's had pasta in and you can push little white circles through the holes - sorry should have done a warning for anyone with that hole phobia

I get a weird frisson from pulling at my eyebrows and eyelashes and feeling a little 'ping' when one comes out. I also bite/pick at my nails. I think it's an anxiety thing.

I do too. Trichotillomania. Love getting them out. I have really thick eyebrow hair so the stubbly bits are irresistible.

I'm a bit grossed out by the poster who likes to retrieve her hair out of her arse crack 🤢

You haven't lived until you've drawn on the rubber sole of a slipper with a biro !

Sniffing clean washing, and I mean proper big sniffs (discovered it when I was pregnant) especially washing out of the tumble dryer (I don't have a table dryer, it's so disappointing)

No one else likes doing the anal glands then ?

Caroline - i’m afraid to ask!

But you’ll have to elaborate for me, please, as it sounds grim, in the extreme.

Well when the dog starts scooting her bum across the carpets it means her anal glands are full. So dh holds her and I lift her tail and you gently squeeze the glands until the stuff come out. It's very satisfying

Being in the correct lane at a tricky junction then having to let people who chose the wrong lane in ☺️

Those motorcyclist who escort important vehicles or cycling races- how they lead the way, divert traffic and are just so confident and in control is fascinating and sexy😂

Actually men on motorbikes in general 🤣

Travelling light

Agree with whoever said packing a car boot efficiently

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

Definitely not. That whole experience of listening to the clattering and churning and the hissing, then catching it before it spurts everywhere!

Getting mascara/eyeliner gunk out of the middle of my eye. Makes me cringe every time but I love it.

Also, presentations. I have social anxiety, coping much better with it now, but when I was at uni I went through a phase where even sitting in a lecture theatre made me feel shaky and have heart palpitations. BUT when it came to presentations even though I was horrendously nervous I always felt brilliant once I got going and really loved it.

For full disclosure I have mild trichotillomania. I no longer pull out my hair, but I do comb my hair with my fingers and gather up all the loose hair that falls out, lay it so they all lie flat and then twist them between my fingers to make a rope like structure.

I also get goosebumps when I hear a V8
