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 😂

Cotton wool and also acrylic jumpers. I discovered as a child that they squeak if you bite them and argh argh argh my teeth are on edge already.

Tin foil.

The feeling of it, the sound of it as it’s unrolled. The possible threat of a Tim foil cut which is literally the WORST pain known to mankind.

Tim foil is evil.

For me it’s the thought of rubbing the sides toothbrush bristles across the top of my teeth. It gives me goosebumps.

I also hate the Fairytale of New York, blue Christmas lights, air fresheners, and mules (shoes not animal)

People who call their husbands Hubby

And polystyrene, whoever invented that shit was a sadist.

That clump of white seeds you get inside a pepper. I just can't look as it makes me so queasy. And I love peppers.

That’s an actual phobia, I can’t remember the name and I don’t want to trigger you but I think it’s a thing

Irritating smug smirking randroms,
I so wish I could slap the smirk of their faces.😠

Picking!! As in a person picking at their skin, my husband has psoriasis and he has developed a habit of picking at his elbows and head, he only does it when sitting watching tv and even he says it's a habit, I can hear him do it and it drives me mad. I've threatened to buy 100 or so ping pong balls and to throw them at him every time he starts. He also picks at his nails and again the noise is horrible. And he snores so I sleep in a different room, and even if he's not snoring the sound of him breathing keeps me awake. I think I might be over sensitive to noise.

Coins. The sight, smell, jangle, everything about them makes me want to heave. Men who stand jangling change in their pockets are horrendous.

Also, whistling. Incredibly irritating, piercing and invasive.

Sirens - ambulances, police etc

I totally understand why they need to be so loud but it fucks me off SO much when they go past me when I’m walking or running. They are so fucking LOUD.

Same with big exhausts. Just fuck off. No need

Those group photos where everyone is in a line smiling and you always get 1/2 people in stitches, so fake !

Serrated knife marks in the butter. I can't believe I married someone who doesn't believe in using a butter knife.
Long toenails give me the heaves.

Cold drinks in mugs. The thought of orange juice in a non see through vessel honestly makes me heave

MrsBobBlackadder · 10/12/2020 21:39

Lolly sticks or chip forks - basically anything wooden. I literally can't touch them with my hands, let alone put them in my mouth Hmm just horrid

Wigisfashion83 · 10/12/2020 21:40

Hate lolly sticks too, and paper straws, they just go soggy.

TheBumbleNums · 10/12/2020 21:41

Filing my nails/toe nails. Makes my toes curl.

Anything touching the backs of my knees where the tendons are. I can’t sit on a hard bench or chair with it touching the backs of my knees. Makes me want to vomit.

Rhyming couplets. It's like fingernails down a blackboard.

CatteStreet · 10/12/2020 21:46

Smiley faces painted or drawn on things. Urgh. Just hate them. In a similar vein, face painting.

The smell of ketchup, even though I'll happily eat it. Confused

Ohtherewearethen · 10/12/2020 21:47

Oh, and those bloody NatWest adverts. I actively despise them and get very cross when one comes on.

Polystyrene 😫

Also eyes freak me out. The thought of putting contacts in makes me want to boke.
