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 😂

Words:
Sarnies instead of sandwiches
Choccies instead of chocolates

Chalk on blackboard
Cutlery scraping on a plate

Velvet and things that beep.

I have a real issue with the sound of motorbikes gearing up. The pitch just gets higher and louder and really stresses me out.

For some reason this really pisses me off: you know when you swig out of a bottle of water and somehow a little bit leaks on your chin? So fucking annoying.

Another pet hate is when people bring up personal questions in passive group settings. So say it's a group introduction to a training course, fir example, and imagine the course rep moves on to talking about funding. Then someone puts their hand up and says "hi, thanks. So last year I was allocated 80% of my training budget, I'm just wondering where that would leave me in terms of financing this for next year. Would I be able to combine blah blah blah". Or "my daughter has turned 11, and we were told...".... nobody fucking cares - if you have a personal fucking question, about your unique precious circumstances, do it once we've been released. If you have questions make them relevant to the entire group, this isnt the fucking You Show.

Sorry that made me angry just thinking about it.

Drains and ditches. No idea why, they just frighten me and have since I was a child. I'm fine with lakes and rivers and the sea though!

Flip-flops. The idea of having that bit between your toes. Too weird.

I'm ok with other people wearing them but can't bear the idea of trying them myself.

Most man made fabrics. Polyester and nylon are the worst. Had a car with velour seats a while ago and ended up selling it because I just couldn't bear them.

The phrase ‘cotton mouth’ makes me rage and feel nauseous at the same time.

The thought of teeth grating against cardboard 🤢

When grown women refer to - hubby, hubs, the hubster. Gives me the rage!!

The Aldi christmas advert. Would someone just eat that bloody carrot!

Yes @longtompot! My sister used to bite her jumper sleeve and make it squeak and it literally made me cry.

Oh yes!

Anyone who refers to themselves as a 'foodie'
An old colleague used to make a big production when she accidentally messed up her words, she would do a a whistle, pretend to spit and then pretend to put her teeth back in. Just get on with it .

That all sodding sports leggings these days have to be 7/8 rather than full length! I can't be the only one who doesn't want my cankles on show all winter.

(Apparently this is unreasonable because it's almost impossible to find any that aren't.)

The feel of glitter. But I like to have glittery nails so my nail lady has to put a zillion top coats on.

You want Ronhills. Definitely.

😂

A car idling outside, TV noise from another room like when I'm in bed and I can hear DP watching downstairs, the dogs chewing their paws, noisy eating/drinking especially slurping things like soup or hot drinks, when a piece of cutlery bangs against someone's teeth, watching a woman at work picking her scalp and pulling whatever she's just picked off down her long hair and then inspecting her nails

All those things make me boak

I can't stand the word 'belly' (except when referring to belly dancing). Extreme aversion if the word is used in relation to pregnancy.

Marshmallows. The thought of eating one makes me nauseous. Fortunately I can give them to other people without having problems.

"swops"

Is there something i'm missing? Is it a regional thing? Is it a real word?

Regardless, I hate it.

The feeling of a little bit of flour on a surface. Makes me feel ill. I struggle with making pastry and cut out biscuits.

When at work and customers can't even manage a 'hello' - or on the flip side when retail workers don't acknowledge you either

The powdery feeling of chalk on my fingers or sweets with the fine sugar powder dust coating

Crabs
Velvet
Matthew McConahey

The feel of any sweater with mohair or angora in it. Makes my skin crawl.
