School assemblies.
School drop off and pick up.
When you're at the hairdressers and they're talking to you in the mirror and you have to look at yourself Blush

Insects, I'm not frightened, they just make me feel queasy.
Benedict Cumberbatch, I'm sure he's lovely, but I can't look at his face.
Photos of people pulling faces. There was a series of sugar adverts with people eating and making faces in magazines a while ago and I found them skin crawly.

Crowds
Places with low ceilings

Being in a room/train carriage etc with one person or a small number of people I don’t know. A packed room/carriage is fine.

Nails that are long enough to have the white bit showing, it makes me feel physically ill when I see a long nail.

Big social events where I have to make small talk; I’m not too bad meeting new people but in big groups where you have to think of stuff to say to people you have little in common with I just can’t think of anything. Weddings, christenings, and general parties are the worst for this I find. My DH always manages to find common ground with people and I’ve still not worked out how to do that.

When members of the public are allowed to talk on TV or radio. I have to turn off radio phone ins, they make my toes curl.

People making what should be intimate moments public events, like a public proposal or a speech about how much someone loves his wife.

Seeing someone pregnant smoking - can't bear it.

What @Chickenitalia said. Hugs from son and animals only!

SurreyHillsGirl · 22/08/2020 10:20

People with no self awareness. Attention seeking. Show offs and braggarts.

People who use 'myself' incorrectly. It makes me feel irrationally irritated Grin

Anyone who uses the word 'classy'.

Foodroofandfamily · 22/08/2020 10:40

People who let their dog lick their mouths. Its not kissing. Its fecking gross.

OrchidJewel · 22/08/2020 10:41

@FitbitMum

left handed people
Smile why? My children and myself are all lefties

Delighted with the no hugging/DHs hysterical kissing and whooping everytime we meet up. Very smug now with my elbow nudge knowing its killing them
