Things that give you the willies

[Isshebeingserious]

Inspired by another thread, what are things that give you the willies?

My biggest one is houseboats.

desperately hoping other people get the willies too

-Holes or bumpy things, and that advert with all the hands, yuck

• washing up when there's potato residue on plates, hate the texture
• seeing chlostrophobic (how on earth do you spell that?!) situations on tv; I always have to stretch my arms out
• Scraping nails (finger variety) on dry surfaces like paper

Also, not quite the same, but I don't understand things like whales. I have seen them in the ocean, I have seen how big the sea is, but I cannot get my head around there being room for more than one in all the seas.

@StormcloakNord
I'm hypermobile and can bend my thumbs forward until they are flat against my wrists [grins]

I cannot cope with the sound of my heartbeat.

Whispering. I can't deal with it it makes me anxious and angry.

There's a cheap nylon fabric that if I touch it I have to touch something else to get he lurgy off.
Sucking a wooden lolly stick.
When two of your ribs 'cross over' (yes I know they dont really)
Cramp in your foot when it turns into a claw.
DS has an action man with a clicking knee.

People on stilts

Swimming pool drains

When clay or mud dries on your hands ..... the feel 🤢🤢🤮 another vote for cotton wool, and for some reason elevators?! I feel like I'll go to get out of one one day and it'll drop when I'm mid way out and just squish me ....

When I'm luxuriating in a warm bath and I get a massive cold drip in the face from the overhead shower

Dogs that lick me on the mouth...my friend's dog managed to lick my tongue the other day and I nearly yakked up all over her floor while she was going "Oh, she's so loving"

Pelvic floor exercises. They made me feel incredibly sick, tense and emotionally overwhelmed for some reason. I have stress incontinence now because I couldn't stand them

Having my hair down in bed. It wraps around my neck and prickles me and pulls when I move...makes me want to stab somebody

When I end up (through my own slovenliness) with a pair of socks on that don't come up as high as the top of my boots, so I can feel the rim of my boot bumping into bare skin. Ugh.

People touching me lightly. It makes me shudder. I don't mind a firm handshake or hug, but when people sort of absent-mindedly trail their fingers on my arm or leg...I know it's affectionate, but it makes me want to run away

Chopping peppers. I can't cope with the difference in texture between the skin and the flesh. I grit my teeth while I chop them. Quite happy eating them though

I am pretty certain I have undiagnosed ASD (my son's consultant and my GP agreed, but apparently there is "no diagnostic pathway for adults" in my area) which may be a factor in some of these.

Wind turbines. They look ok at a distance. Up close they are huge and menacing and turn eerily slowly.

Also freight trains. Big rusty ones with graffiti on that move slowly, they squeak and clunk and look and sound sinister.

Pandas they have faces that look like skulls on the outside. I'm not too keen on dolphins either they have smiley mouths but I'm sure they're evil really. I saw a programme where they killed a seal, I bet they do slot worse when the cameras aren't thrre

Oh, also brushing off wet sand after visiting the beach, the feel of tacky velvet clothes amd hitting my funny bone:0

Beans. Baked beans. They are disgusting; the devil's jizz . For anyone that thinks they aren't, the fact that people sit in baths of beans (boak) to raise money for comic relief isn't coincidence. There is a reason it isn't a bath of cornflakes or broccoli, but beans. This is because they are inherently foul. I have a recurring nightmare where someone flicks a single baked bean (coated in bean juice) at me. Just writing that down makes me retch

Oh I can't bear heartbeats! They terrify me!
Also the sound of cotton wool being torn off makes my teeth go on edge.
I'm not keen on swimming pool drains either but I think that's common sense rather than irrational horror.

Love this. Dont feel such a Pratt now. Mines feathers

Trypophobia

I'd forgotten the word, just Googled it, saw the pictures, now I feel ill........ 🤮🤮🤮🤮

When your nail bends back and stays that way

Imagine getting a teaspoon upside down in the roof of your mouth where it becomes stuck between your two rows of molars

People hacking savagely at their food so much that they make screeching noises with the cutlery and plate

Desolate isolated places. Saw footage of a killer whale swimming in tall seaweed off the coast of somewhere like Iceland, all rocks and greyness, it terrorised me

@stairsnotanumber- did you not see the "dolphins are bastards" thread?

@whiskeyjar My sister fears people on stilts too. She says it's the very little shoes painted on to the bottom of the stilts that freak her out. Is it the same for you?

Velour,fucking hate the stuff can't touch it at all.
The sound of other people brushing theor teeth, god I feel like I can hear it now!
Bare feet on carpets can't stand the feeling.

My mum can't look at cotton wool withought picturing someone chewing it, can't have it anywhere near her 😂

Verrucas. I had a massive one when I was 17 that was like a crater and had dozens of blacks dots in it.

I just made myself feel sick picturing it.

Looking at someone with bad acne, makes me shudder.

Water coming out of legs. That one is highly personal and because it happened to me for a period of several weeks. I left a puddle on the floor of an ambulance. A consequence of oedema from undiagnosed high blood pressure. The memory still gives me shivers. It feels so wrong and reminds me of the man who started sweating beads before turning to water and bursting in one of the X-Men films.

Black fingernail, severe willies.

Not to be a party pooper but you probably need a trigger warning on the thread title
Mine is pomegranates

Why on earth?? To both counts? The thread title is clear enough. Jeez.

The underneath of those massive ships. You know, the bits you're not meant to see, the propellor and the hull covered in seaweed and moss and stuff. And like a previous poster said, anchors with massive chains which come from really far down.

I also can't bear to swim over or near drains in the swimming pool.

Bleurgh

People who have crazy long necks. Freaks me the fuck out.

Open water, large bodies of.
Can't even look at google maps on satellite if water is involved.

@Greensleeves I can relate to all those things.
