Mine is random, individual hairs in places

Especially gross if it’s on a wet surface. Single hairs on the side of the sink in a public bathroom honestly makes me want to vomit

Belly buttons. And eels.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

People's eyes watering in the wind
Sleepy dust
Shudder

The watery stuff that comes out of the ketchup bottle if it's not shaken adequately.

And coagulated sauce round any bottle (ketchup/salad cream etc).

Heard a quote once on a television comedy programme (One Foot in the Grave?) along the lines of: "I hate people whose ketchup bottles look as though they've got bunches of raisins hanging from them".
UGH!

LaMarschallin · 12/08/2019 22:08

And I've just remembered that a character in a Rachel Johnson book refers to the the watery tomato sauce stuff as the "pre-ketchup".

Feel genuinely sick now 🤢

Agree with Eyes watering extra gross if it mixes with black mascara.

Shower curtains touching me. I hate them.

Cleaning of teeth as I am so grossed out by toothpaste!

SospanFrangipan · 12/08/2019 22:15

The sound of badly fitting glass teeth clacking together 🤢

BetterEatCheese · 12/08/2019 22:15

Oh and also water which is in an old squash bottle so it tastes a bit 'squashy' - makes me gag

24hourshomeedderandcarer · 12/08/2019 22:15

facial hair,it turns my stomach

been like i since i can remember and i found out last month on here its actually called pogonophobia

i literally cant look at some one with it let alone talk to someone

my local shop is owned by a lovely elderly Indian couple that ive known for years,hes always been clean shaven,for what ever reasons i didnt go up for 3-4 weeks and in that time he has grown a thick grey beard,he said hello to me with a smile i turned around and walked straight out and haven't been back since

i felt so guilty that the next day i sent my 8 y old in with a note saying what my problem was and its nothing to do with him(i waited outside)

its not a fear as such just turns my stomach and i literally have bile coming up

this beard fad the last couple of years have been the worse time for me

SospanFrangipan · 12/08/2019 22:16

Yeh, that should be false teeth, not glass teeth. I hate autocorrect!

OhMyDarling · 12/08/2019 22:16

Seaweed
Sponges
Straggly long hair that goes into a triangle point on the ends when it desperately needs a trim

Lllot5 · 12/08/2019 22:16

Custard powder. That squeaking noise it makes. Goosebumps

ScarlettDarling · 12/08/2019 22:17

The inside of peppers. The clusters of seeds make me feel Envy and when you get a little baby pepper inside of the pepper it really turns my stomach.

Summerunderway · 12/08/2019 22:18

False eyes. Used to drink with a friend and her bil who had a false eye. Mid chat he would pop it out, rub it on his shirt and pop it back.
Yuck!!

Moraxella · 12/08/2019 22:19

Swimming pool changing room floors with hair on 😷

talllikejerryhall · 12/08/2019 22:19

For some reason I am phobic of rotten fruit and find it very disgusting to stick my hand in crisp packets. Have to pour them into a bowl to eat 'em.

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 12/08/2019 22:19

bent nails, especially toe nails. If you stub them or twang a fingernail it make my stomach drop and I have to take lots of deep breaths before I can look.

NowWhatUsernameShallIHave · 12/08/2019 22:19

Hairs everywhere

Walking in bare feet on floors especially hard floors but especially at swimming pool or any where it’s damp

Shower curtains touching me

Shared towels eg for hand drying

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 12/08/2019 22:20

oh and jelly, that's OBVIOUSLY not silly because jelly is all the wrong.

MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee · 12/08/2019 22:22

Ooh yes bare feet around the house I don’t like either !!

FurrySlipperBoots · 12/08/2019 22:23

Most of the above!!

My sister pours water on cereal instead of milk, or sometimes half and half. I can't even tell you how sick that makes me feel.

SexFarmWoman · 12/08/2019 22:24

There was a scene in George and Mildred, about a hundred years ago, where Mildred wants to impress some visitors- it ends with her telling George ‘and wipe the gunge off that sauce bottle!’

I regularly wipe the gunge off my sauce bottles, just so’s I’m visitor ready.

I despise chasing one bloody hair round the bathroom as it clings to the sponge, except when it doesn’t, and attaches itself to the cistern etc.

Bin juice and tuna water also make me Envy

Brittany2019 · 12/08/2019 22:24

People who have things wrong with their nails. Or their fingers. Or their toes.

I’m fine with my own and found it objectively fascinating when my toenails turned black and fell off due to running.

If Dh shows me a paper cut he’s received, I’m totally grossed out.
