Things you can't stand for no reason whatsoever?

[UnChristmassy]

I have a real aversion to silicone. For some reason the thought of it makes me feel like I'm going to throw up, I can honestly get to heaving point 🤢 I've no idea why, it's not the feel of it. I just can't stand the thought of it.

It's the same with bottle tops, like the screw bottle top on a bottle of coke. The tip is always so scratchy and it gives me shivers.

Anyone else have random things they cannot stand but can't really explain?

DH thinks I'm a freak 😂

The sound of Radio 5 Live, maybe because we still have an analogue radio but the slight under sound/crackle I can hear makes my ears cringe.

Foam - Like the inside of a foam mattress .... It makes my chest close up just thinking about it.

@strawberriesunited

Barefoot on paving slabs makes me heave Realising that my shoes are just that tiny bit to tight and i can't stretch my toes out

I get a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach if I walk barefoot on rough surfaces. I also get claustrophobic if I get my head stuck in a jumper when pulling it off.

The Wowcher adverts, with the 3 women dancing around (especially where they're passing around cushions with their faces on)

Seconding those saying holes. I once cut into a radish that was riddled with holes and genuinely had a panic attack and cried. I felt ridiculous but I just can't cope with holes. Trypophobia. Don't look it up.

Also wooden cutlery/lolly sticks/bamboo tooth brushes. Can't stand the thought. It makes my teeth feel funny just thinking about it. I have to carry my own cutlery if I'm going to get a salad out so they don't hand me eco friendly wooden stuff 😩

These words:
Date night
Cuppa
Smellies (Be specific!)

I also hate it when people don't look where they're going, especially in places like supermarkets where said person is walking away while still talking to someone else and has their back to everyone else so has no awareness of their surroundings leaving people having to side step/move away completely to avoid a collision.

People up my arse in the supermarket queue. Hated it pre covid. Glad it's not allowed now.

People who dither in shops. Why are you standing there for ages just staring at a product? Make a decision. I will buy it. I won't. Move on. I'm trying to get past!! Rant over. And breathe....

Kids singing. Especially when they are 'good' it just makes me cringe so bad. No idea why.

Prawns. Never even tried one but they just look so gross and squishy.
Loud eating and eating with mouth open. It's like torture I have too leave the room. The noise of lip smacking just brings out feelings of anger I never knew I had

@I8toys

Amanda Holden

Yes her too

No idea why

The phrase “on my period” - the ‘on’ bit is the offender. I can’t stand it!

Kathryn fucking Jenkins

Pre-sliced bread. Particularly when it's made into sandwiches. I used to loathe lunch time at school.

The sound of football commentary on the radio makes me really angry. I can stand it for a short time but suddenly become very aware or it and feel full of rage. Unfortunately for me DH loves football.

Poached eggs
I literally don't know why, they just give me the fear

Play-dough utterly disgusts me. It’s the smell, I cannot be near it.

Also fake nails or long nails. I think fake nails look nice but I could never eat anything made by somebody with long nails.

@Sp3849 my brother in law does this and every Christmas I just sit across the table from him internally screaming 🤢

@Sp3849 look into Misophonia. My husband has the same reaction as you.

As a PP has said the idea of eating cotton wool or biting wool. Also wet wool, especially cheap wool jumpers. I have to get DH to put them on the radiator.

Also for me, Donald Trump and my FIL voices. Just the sound of their voices gives me a visceral reaction and makes my skin crawl.

Oh god, fake nails turn my stomach. I always imagine they are full of grime under them. And the ones that literally look like talons

I can't bear sports commentary either, it makes me feel stabby within seconds.

Love the smell of playdoh though!

@Bluewavescrashing & @Twobrews I don't like the general background sound of radio sport things ( and as a PP said - R5 just hissing and poor quality ) But - this man is a sports commentator - ( golf ) and these things - his various videos ) I love ( if you don't like dogs it may be a double whammy - but this I think is just funny & joyful -

Not read whole thread but the worst thing for me (luckily not such a thing these days) is those metal-edged files that hang in filing cabinets. If the metal bit touched my fingernails I'd feel sick. I'm clenching my fists now at the thought of it :(

I also hate flashing christmas lights and even worse if they're the blue kind. Instant nausea and headache.

synthetic sheets when you run your hand over them and they catch on your skin, boak boak boak

Echo PPs on 'food where it shouldn't be'. I can just about deal with crumbs and washing up, but food mess/ smears on tables, faces and the like really grosses me out (including on toddlers). Pictures of babies with baked beans in their hair is especially icky, and as for cake smashes.. bleurgh!
Over-enunciation. Especially grim in words like 'clawback' and 'polyp', and, increasingly, "mask".
