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 😂

@myusernamewastakenbyme

On a roll now....also posts on FB asking if such and such is 'aloud'....drives me nuts.
On FB- people who say 'he was doing my heading' I just want to write HEAD IN in shouty capitals

Similarly, ‘it’s a no brainier’. For fuck’s sake, just say it out loud. It’s not even the same sound is it? And ‘loose’ for ‘lose’. ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

The 'lose' and 'loose' one is constant...drives me nuts too...also posters on here who get lend and borrow mixed up...how the hell can you not know the difference.

Urging touching paper with wet or wrinkled hands. I once had a bath then got a papercut on my pruney finger Envy

Urgh not urging*

The girl's name Paige

Dont actually know anyone called Paige, thankfully.

Really blue eyes - eyes that are typically seen as beautiful creep me out. I find them cold and soul-less.

People scraping chairs across the floor instead of lifting them. Thenoise hoes right through me

The term “bubbling”

ToffeePennie · 13/01/2021 09:13

Sticky.
Sticky tape, stickers, sticky envelopes, stamps. The list goes on, but I genuinely feel abject horror when something sticky touches my skin.

ToffeePennie · 13/01/2021 09:14

People who write breath instead of breathe piss me off no end.
Could of, should of, would of. It’s HAVE you morons.

Fuzzy felt and emery boards!!!

Haven't had time to RTF(LONG)T in full. But I agree with the PP about glitter. Horrendous stuff: the herpes of the arts and crafts world.

Also - 'judgy'. Everywhere other than Mumsnet it seems, the word is 'judgemental'.

"Laying down" rather the correct "lying down". What has happened to education?

TheVamoosh · 13/01/2021 20:48

Guys who do that "puppy eyes" thing when they are flirting with you because they think it's cute. It makes them look like dogs begging for sex. Ick.

Salted caramel.
I prefer normal, nice caramel!

Apples6544 · 13/01/2021 21:43

The feel of velvet. It makes me shudder.

The new trend to make a click sound with your tongue at the beginning of a sentence. Two women at work do this a lot at online meetings.

It really does make me angry.

It doesn't help that I don't have much time for them in the first place, because they make big mistakes.
