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 😂

Coleen Nolan - always making everybody else's drama, success, health issue about her! Desperate for publicity. (I guess that's a reason I've given - so probably doesn't count).

People who call their dog their child.
Loud laughs.
People who shout instead of talk.
Long fake nails. Grim.
Xmas instead of Christmas.

I really can't stand Nadya Swahalla she looks the jealous of other women type!

Gregg on masterchef - @Schadenfreude and others may understand this Grin

When my fingers go wrinkly in the bath or swimming pool- literally can not bare it 🤮

Luckyelephant1 · 15/12/2020 19:59

Any of those 'feelgood' adverts with lots of women in their underwear jiggling their bits about and braying about how fabulous they feel regardless of body type and shape etc. I think I remember Dove did one and Boots most probably.

Yes we get it everyone deserves to feel good. But do we ever see men doing these fucking annoying adverts???

Princess Beatrice (irrational desire to punch her lights out), barbed wire (makes my eyes hurt) & rashes (can't. Stop. Staring.)

I don’t like the colour red, I find it jarring. I also really hate the colour combination of red & black, it looks garish to me. I don’t understand why women think a black handbag goes with everything. It doesn’t.

  • The phrase “may I pick your brain?” BLEURGH. Also “fur baby” and “forever home”. As in, “adopt this kitten and give an adorable fur baby a forever home”. Urgh.
  • the shit emoji, and the fact that whenever I write "poor" on my phone it pops up as an auto-correct suggestion just before I type the "r".
  • I’m with so many PP regarding the eco-friendly wooden forks and spoons; I actually forgot how much I hate them and bought a bamboo toothbrush which has the same horrible effect.

Puppets/ventriloquist dolls. Fucking hate them.
Grinding teeth.

Whatisapension · 15/12/2020 20:20

Damp wood. I feel queasy every time I wash my wooden spoons, even the thought of it now is🤮

Any eating noises. I hate myself when I eat anything crunchy and can hear it from the inside.

Whatisapension · 15/12/2020 20:23

Actually a pp has mentioned feeling differently about human and animal hair and I have just realised that I hate human eating noises, but when my cats ate chomping away or smacking their lips I find it so cute. I wonder why that is!

devildeepbluesea · 15/12/2020 20:42

Ooh I have one.

Those vomit inducing FB picture posts which always start "When..."

E.G.:
A picture of a sad garage bouquet captioned with,
"When hubs surprises me on our anniversary"

Just 🤮🤮🤮

And whilst I realise this is probably quite rational, the extent to which I JUDGE these pathetic specimens probably is.

grassisjeweled · 15/12/2020 20:46

Oh god someone else doesn't like Beatrice!

Get a stylist, girl!

Couples talking to each other on social media 'oh hub you'd love that lol', 'yeah I would bunny lol'

OMFG the RAGE

HomeSliceKnowsBest · 15/12/2020 20:48

The feel of microfiber cloths is vile.

lotusbell · 15/12/2020 20:51

Tom Jones. Makes me feel physically sick. And I'm not prone to dramatics Grin

JacktomyDaniel · 15/12/2020 20:54

Velvet or velour going 'backwards'
Leftover food or worse any food in water.
People (asn excluded!) who can't take a hint and stand right in my space and force conversation.

Missushbb · 15/12/2020 21:01

@MrsDeadlock

The word "veggies". Gives me the rage for no apparent reason.
I hate that too. And veg.
schnubbins · 15/12/2020 21:21

Loud voices , banging on about nothing but incredibly hard to ignore in public settings.Especially female voices with' Vocal Fry'.It is becoming more and more predominant in every language , I think due to the influence of Netflix.I find it so irritating.

Buddytheelf85 · 15/12/2020 21:38

‘Earworm’.

Makes me think of a tapeworm that lives in someone’s ear. Heave.

Mrsjayy · 15/12/2020 21:54

Rebel Wilson makes me feel weird I don't know what it is but I can't look at her Blush

yetmorecrap · 15/12/2020 22:13

Square manicured finger nails (I’m sure it has a name but I don’t do nails )

Brazilian bikini waxes— I see plucked turkey

Very fussy cocktails that just taste of sugar and artificiality and cost a bomb

Hairy backs on men

Chai latte- personally think it’s yuk

And as others have said certain expressions - 3 sleeps till holidays, holibobs etc

People rubbing their hands across tablecloths. Stop it.
