I just wiped the sides of my mouth which felt really rough and has utterly grossed me out and now feels really sore.
Other things include
The area younger blood from
Giving blood, see above
Feeling of Jeans, towels and flannels
Smear tests

When you can see people’s navels through their tops and the navel is really big and stretched.

BritWifeinUSA · 25/01/2021 01:01

Toe nail clippings.

The white umbilical cord thingy attached to egg yolk. I once ate a hard bold egg, felt something odd in my mouth, it was the cord long and springy 😩

Tbh my own bodily functions are quite repulsive to me I don't know if that's weird! I hate poo, I hate my own and if DH is in the toilet doing a poo I have to put my fingers in my ears as I can't bear to hear anything! I'm ok with DS's poo though. I also hate my period it makes me feel sick changing pads and tampons! I totally get that I'm weird though. Two of my close married friends once told me they poo in front of eachother and don't care and I literally couldn't imagine that!!

I also can't stand food around someone's mouth or on their clothes.

@pelosi

It's not too bad...just don't watch, though. ergh
Pretend you are at the spa and having a lie down

Gobbycop · 27/01/2021 04:18

Having any sort of crumbs/bits on the soles of my feet.

Even if wearing socks.

@Oneearringlost

Actors eating as part of their role. It is usually exaggerated to fulfil the "naturalness" of the scene, and often it is accompanied with licking fingers or speaking with their mouth full; it makes me want to scream.
Brad Pitt is especially bad for this. Is it Ocean’s 11 where he appears eating in every scene in a really OTT finger-licking’ way? Envy

@SpnBaby1967

Those really long fake nails that seem to be in fashion now. Even worse when they're shaped into a triangle/claw.

Mostly it's the sound they make when typing. I was served my a girl in Primark and as she tapped on the till screen all I could hear was that awful "clack clack" sound. Just turns my stomach as I imagine all the grime under them.

My younger sister has long nails and a newborn, honestly I dont know how to doesnt accidentally shank my niece's arse every time she changes her nappy.

Oh and letting your dog lick you! Especially your face, I mean WTF people!

I once covered for a woman in an office whose long false fingernails had scraped off all the letters on the computer keypad. I had to type from memory. On top of all the grime and germs. I once read that computer mice and keyboards have more dangerous germs than a public toilet seat, as those are at least cleaned regularly. 🤢
Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 27/01/2021 07:06

Omg pretty much every single one on the thread I agree with...
Other things I hate - bake sales, people bringing in homemade baked goods especially if wrapped in cling film. Macmillan coffee morning I donate money but cant eat homemade cakes. I think it stems from eating a homemade mince pie years ago and It had a long grey hair in it.

My Dss age 14 always comes in the kitchen barefoot. No bare feet in the kitchen and he wipes his food/greasy hands on his shirt when eating.

Compulsive liars creep me out.

Other toothbrushes touching mine

I inspect all cutlery before I use it, even the ones at work that have been wrapped in a napkin ready for use.

People walking over to my drawers at work and just open them without asking routing for pens or staplers while I'm sat there. Fuck off we have an entire bastard stationary cupboard!!

Meecrowavay · 27/01/2021 16:40

Just remembered another. Accidentally touching the gusset/bum area of other people's dirty underpants when you're sorting the washing 😷

@HibernatingTill2030

Hair in the plug hole makes me actually gag.
I used the plunger to get the shower emptying quicker, I thought that I'd found a rat!

Yes to this. And you just KNOW that it's full of smelly fluff invested gunk that's been in there since 1979.
PerfectionistProcrastinator · 28/01/2021 13:08

People sticking out their tongue in photos, not just a little tip of the tongue but full on mouth open tongue hanging out. Bleurgh, why!? Nobody wants to see that!

TheVolturi · 28/01/2021 13:24

Did we find out what the op meant about the area younger blood?

HazelBite · 28/01/2021 14:06

Feeling someones breath on me!
One someone has been eating onions and I can smell their breath
Snot

Rhayader · 28/01/2021 14:40

The salad in a bag you get with an Indian takeaway. I just can’t.

Cheator · 29/01/2021 16:48

Cigarettes, wether they are being smoked or not but especially wet ones on the pavement with the tobacco spilling out. I can't beat to look and will cover them with a leaf if I had to wait somewhere with one in my eye line.
I hate crumpled ones in an ashtray too. Couldn't eat with an ashtray in my field of vision.

redsquirrelfan · 29/01/2021 16:59

@ToniTheDonkey

Baked beans
Yes! And tuna.
redsquirrelfan · 29/01/2021 17:05

The smell of womens public toilets especially when you go into a cubicle another woman has just used

When I was pregnant I became particularly sensitive to the dehydrated wee smell you get in womens' loos. I used to go in thinking will you please all DRINK more!

ElizaLaLa · 29/01/2021 17:07

@TheVolturi Did we find out what the op meant about the area younger blood?

I think she meant the area you give blood from.

Lelophants · 29/01/2021 17:43

Dirty bitten nails
Eye gunk
A loose hair, anywhere not on the body.
When people put dirty things like suitcases and shoes on the bed

Lelophants · 29/01/2021 17:44

Oh and the smell of fried chicken. Or bacon. I just can't. Everyone said I'd crave meat when pregnant. I'd never been more off it!

likeamillpond · 30/01/2021 12:03

That horrible fatty smell that hits your nose when you open a packet of processed ham slices.

likeamillpond · 30/01/2021 12:03

Farty smell not fatty smell.
