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 thought of the squeaky noise if you bite them

Oh yes I know what you mean

^^
This is me too - even reading about biting wool or cotton wool is making me cringe. I’m not good with squeaking noises anyway.

Polystyrene- can’t bear it.

Microfiber cloths. Cant stand the feel of them on my fingers. And they sort of cling to them as though my fingers have grown minute barbs that hook onto the fabric. Ugh. If I accidentally touch anything made of microfiber I have to rub my hand vigorously on another fabric to rid myself of the sensation.

The smell of cold cooked potato remnants soaking in water, truly vomit inducing in both sight and smell.

Shami Chakrabarti

I don’t know the woman but everything about her makes me insanely angry. I’m sure she’s perfectly pleasant but I cannot stand watching/listening to anything she does. It’s not her politics (although we are an opposite sides) but it’s something I can’t explain.

DH can’t stand the word “poorly”, he goes mad if I say it. It’s like Moist which is a common one.

People who use "!" contantly and too liberally, as in every single time they type a few words on a forum or a product review. Your opinon is not as important as you seem to think it is.

What you think of supermarket own brand baked beans is no place for "!". It seems arrogant to me.

ChocolateCherrybomb · 10/12/2020 20:08

Afterthought:

Yum ! Or Yummy !!!!!!!

Makes me want to find them and hurt them.

Not things, but a person. Tony Robinson, can't stand the man

justanotherremainer · 10/12/2020 20:12

Floury rolls or a floury crust on bread, can’t stand it

Velvet 😖😖 truly makes me shudder. The feeling of carpet or bedclothes on my feet - I wear socks ALL the time!!

fairydustandpixies · 10/12/2020 20:14

Cotton wool and polystyrene 🤢

LMW1990 · 10/12/2020 20:17

Moustaches. I can't watch anything with Dick Strawbridge in purely due to this. As a kid I hated Kevin Webster in Corrie because of his tash. They make me heave.

Redredwine2020 · 10/12/2020 20:20

Velvet

leiaskye · 10/12/2020 20:21

The sound of brushing a carpet, even seeing a brush near a carpet sets my teeth on edge

The feeling of wearing socks to bed.

Matt Damon - no idea why. He just annoys me.

Helen luvvie Mirren. Smugness personified. Eugh.

Bluewavescrashing · 10/12/2020 20:28

Bagpipes.

Cold food. Cold baked beans, spaghetti hoops

Sellotape sticking to fingernails Sad

Gary Barlow. Something about him really boils my p*ss. Most women would like to get him alone in a bedroom... I'd like to get him alone in a boxing ring.

BerryPieandCustard · 10/12/2020 20:47

Sponge 🧽
I hate the feel of a dry sponge, my husband has to get a new one out of the pack for the kitchen sink and do the first use before I can touch it!!!

flipflop76 · 10/12/2020 20:51

The term 'young family'. What if the children are young but the parents are quite old?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 10/12/2020 20:52

The thought of licking wool, (after pulling off a pair of woollen gloves with my teeth as a child.) Just the thought of it makes me queasy.

louisejxxx · 10/12/2020 20:53

Holes (look up trypophobia) - some of the pics on google images make my skin crawl and make me want to throw up Blush

@JorisBonson Matthew McConaughey was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread!

Incorrect use of the reflexing pronoun Angry AngryAngryAngry

Sanitizerscomingtotown · 10/12/2020 20:56

Reflexive.... 😏
