Labels in clothes...especially big scratchy cheap ones...i cant bear them...im paranoid about them sticking out...i cringe when i see people walking around with them flapping out on show.

@MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee @Wearywithteens

I love these from Muji for that exact reason. They’re like a big polo mint, so the water runs straight though. Just need a quick rinse/wipe when you clean the sink.

The texture of toilet paper or some cardboard makes my teeth cringe

Heymummee · 14/08/2019 14:44

Holes in things. Like crumpets 🤢

Cutlery squeaking on plates.

Chewing noises.

The smell of leftover ketchup.

Earthworms.

a lazy attitude to breathing

This made me lol for real.

Has it occurred to you that some people find it harder work to breath through there nose even when they don't have a cold? People's faces are different and some people get almost no air flow through their noses at all.

@IPokeBadgers omg are you me?! Those are exactly mine too! 😂

Wobbly teeth.

I could deal with poo, wee, vomit and other child grossness but my stomach would be in knots when my daughter would play with her wobbly teeth.

I don't like kale.

It looks horrible and if I eat it my tongue goes funny and my saliva gets frothy.

I'm starting to develop a serious aversion to it.

My other pet hate is seeing adverts for programmes I watched will pregnant. They make me feel sick all over again (HG sufferer).

I also hate food in the plug hole. Or when I'm doing the dishes and bits are floating in the basin. Shudder. I actually don't use a basin, it's not eco friendly to say so but urgh I can't handle the food floaters.

My in-laws all love to swipe their fingers on their plates after a meal to pick up the sauce that's left. Then slurp their fingers and repeat. Then they start sticking their fingers into the serving dishes and doing the same. I cannot handle it. I jump up and snatch the plates away with a cheerful "finished are we? Let's see about dessert"

Things squeezing through holes. Butter squeezed through cracker holes, playdoh spaghetti makers, sausage machines. I hate them all, creepy and gross.

catlady3 · 14/08/2019 14:58

Feet.

areyoubeingserviced · 14/08/2019 14:59

Sharing cans/bottles of liquid. I can’t even share with my own husband, which is strange since we obviously kiss each other.
Soggy bread
Men wearing saggy trousers
People picking their underwear from their bum( removing wedgies)

GibbonLover · 14/08/2019 15:36

Young children eating
Touching polystyrene
People putting bits of food in ashtrays (now I've quit, it's ashtrays full stop)
Certain words, be they spoken or written
Toe post sandals

Cold baked beans
Hot ones I actually like but cold ones make me feel sick, if one gets on on me while putting them in the pan to heat I have to wash it off ASAP !

floribunda18 · 14/08/2019 15:43

Someone chewing, especially crisps, with their mouth open. When they talk and you can see the mushed up contents of their mouth.

FurrySlipperBoots · 14/08/2019 15:49

Cheap peanut butter where the oil rises to the top. I actually want to vomit thinking about it.

Tadpoletofrog · 14/08/2019 15:58

Opening the waste food caddy makes me heave, hate scraping the plates.

Wiping the surfaces and the pile of crumbs tipping in to my hand to throw away at the end makes me heave

The communal fridge at work, just the smell of all the different foods inside, can't stomach it.

Sitting next to someone on the train doing their makeup, all the fidgeting, the powder settling on me, the noise of all the plastic packets knocking together in the makeup bag, the elbows in my side. Bugger off and do your makeup in the privacy of your own home please!

talllikejerryhall · 26/06/2020 00:41

Sticking my hand in a crisp packets - give me shivers somehow

drigon · 26/06/2020 01:43

Seeing scenes on TV where someone throws food over someone else and the aftermath. Food fights etc... yuck!

LizzyAnna99 · 26/06/2020 04:39

People touching their ears make me sick

LokiOdinson · 26/06/2020 04:42

Jelly where jelly shouldn't be :(

Sometimes when I buy precooked stamed salmon it generates jelly between me opening the packet and me using the salmon and it makes me gag. Also can't have the mackerel in water for this reason!
