To ask you what silly things really gross you out?!

[MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee]

Mine is the gross water that accumulates in the toothbrush holder - yuck yuck yuck!!!!!!!

Oh god I've thought of more, fruit in jelly is just awful I feel like I can taste it when I look at it and the sponge in a trifle..... the texture where it's a bit wet...... just no!!

Piercings, even ears. Watching someone putting earrings in or out gives me the heebie jeebies.

The hook type are much worse than butterflies.

Pregnancy! I’m allergic to baby bumps (and children for that matter)!

The smell of fried mushrooms!

Moles with a single long black hair coming out...seriously yuck 🤢🤢

Ooh yes very long nails are gross.
Ooh pp yes the grossness of the 2ps in the arcade ! And old money generally agree!

Stepping in dog poo / getting pram wheels in dog poo when out and about is the worst - have to fight my instinct not to just throw everything away that has touched it !
Also don’t like an old lunch box or food container if I’ve forgotten about it for a day or 2!

Also surprised by the amount of ketchup bottle mistrusters... never really thought about that one before !

I'm really squeamish so just reading the antenatal books was a struggle when I was pregnant. X-rays of fractures. Giving a blood sample.

Feel sick now

Seeing used gum stuck on those papers on street furniture. Wrap it and bin ffs, it's not art.

mostly here in Australia, if you buy a pie in a bakery, almost everyone has sauce with it...tomato sauce. WHY I don't know because pie filling is usually moist. But my point is, the shop assistants stick the nozzle of the sauce bottle INTO the pie!

And squeeze it.

One holiday abroad, my Mum was grossed out by the bacon on the breakfast buffet, not sure why, tiredness from travelling and a too early start next day possibly (it was a tour). I was revolted by the cheese as it had obviously been cut a few days and was being used up. This was also before I realized that cheese for breakfast is actually quite nice. My Dad ploughed on happily eating whilst we rearranged things to block our view of his plate. Now I can happily tuck away a sizeable meal at breakfast regardless of the time.

The sound of rubbing carpet with a cloth. Makes me seriously sick.
The sound of filing nails. When people do it on a train I give them an evil eye, if that doesn't work I have to leave the carriage.
People sniffing. So irritating and gives me a head ache.
The sound of pulling and pushing chairs to sit down at the table. Why don't people lift the chairs anymore?
Noisy eaters: loud masticators and over the top banging of cutlery against ceramic bowls and plates. Again, makes me die inside.
When people eat oranges in a public place with no access to running water- how can they live with their sticky orange-juicy hands? Makes my stomach churn.
Baby bumps in very tight clothing, or baby bumps in too short tops so that the bottom half sticks out.
The list goes on ..

I can’t even read beyond page 1, it’s making me feel so grossed out 😷

Milk skin (on coffee or custard), my husband using my toothbrush (eugh - I nearly killed him), shower curtain touching me, toddlers walking round with food, so crumbs/bits of it go on furniture/floor - makes me gag.

People who clean their ears out with a biro, then look at it and put it back in their top pocket.

When someone brings you a cup of tea, and instead of using the handle of the mug they hold it by the rim... their fingers all over the place where you are going to have to put your lips. And then you have to try to discreetly wipe it before you start drinking it.

People filling up a bathroom sink to wash in after everyone has flobbed in there brushing their teeth 🤢 absolute vom.

People brushing their teeth

Gross water in teeth pot

Charlotte Crosby's lips and mouth. What has she done, its like a giant triangle

Holes in things

Eye bogeys

Yes to pre-ketchup.
Also pre-yogurt.

And the sound of polystyrene.

And people who share drinks with their kids and dont care its full of back wash, makes me gag 🤢

Washing up in a bowl so all the dishes are being washed up in dirty water, gag.

I have so many things that gross me out 🤣

Washing up in a bowl so all the dishes are being washed up in dirty water, gag.

Don't think too hard about how dishwashers manage to use such little water...

People 'sharing' my drink. Those close to me know better but I have an old school friend who always helps herself to my drinks and I can't bring myself to carry on drinking it afterwards

Cold wet tea bags on the work top it's more annoying if it's just a solo one

Uuugh to sharing drinks. One girl helped herself to my bottle of water at university then told me that she had just puked in the toilets which was why she wanted water. She seemed amazed when I threw the whole thing in the bin.

I can't believe I've just read this thread.

There's not one thing on any of this lists that doesn't make me feel ill.

I'm clearly an everything-a-phobe.

The sound of someone scratching their leg through stiff denim jeans. My dad did it once in the 80s and it made me feel so ill I can't bear it.

Also the smell of new, cheap denim (imagine primark denim section). All chemically and rubbery and grim.

Am also not a fan of rubber in any form. The rubbers that smelled like rubbers as a kid used to make me feel ill if someone at my table at school used one. Rubber bands turn my stomach too.

People breathing through their mouths (at work in the desk opposite when they do not have a cold just a lazy attitude to breathing).

A half used jar of mustard where some of it has gone dry

Husks of spiders' meals in my house

The noise of someone poking a coal fire

Thick, dark, mugs - designed to be brown or black inside so you can't see if they're clean.
