Minor things that repulse you

[Ugzbugz]

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
The list goes on

I once found a little nest of grub like things in my broccoli I love broccoli but I will only eat it if I cook it as I check every branch for any stoaways.

I had postnatal OCD which I received treatment for but I am still unable to buy anything from charity shops because of the risk of introducing a bed bug infestation into the home. It's a shame because I used to love a charity shop rummage and even volunteered in one between jobs.

Reading that back it sounds like I have a real problem with bugs, yet I can pick a spider up in my bare hands and move it to safety if needed

Cakes with a lot of modelled icing on them. Just the thought that someone has touched the icing so much to work it in to those elaborate shapes
I'd never thought of that before and can't unthink it now!

People who stick their fingers in serving bowls of food that are meant for everyone. Looking at you BIL....

Big dollops of phlegm spat on the pavement 😷

Oh agree, I feel exactly the same about those fancy cakes. The amount of handling and fiddling about ... yuck.

False nails make me wonder what’s lurking underneath. Squidgy bar soap makes me feel a bit ill.

Acne on upper lip especially when paired with a pathetic moustache
The sound of cutlery scraping on crockery
Dog hair/smell in people's houses. If I go in wearing black I want to come out wearing black and not stinking.
Anyone posing in photos or in the mirror-especially pouting

Chewing gum, everything about it. People chewing it, seeing it on the floor, stuck on things... Blurghhh

Long, dirty fingernails, especially on men.
Greasy hair.
Musty, unwashed bodily smells. Worse if the person eats a lot of greasy food, it's awful.
Spitting
Toenails that clearly have some kind of infection, being displayed in sliders etc.
Jelly. Cannot stand the texture.
Hair extensions or clip in hair pieces. Once on the head, it's fine, but give me the shudders otherwise.
Noises my SiL makes when eating. Lots of gulping and really odd deep groans. It's uncomfortable.

Arghh I wish I hadn't read that about the cakes 🙈

Sniffing. A man was being interviewed on bbc yesterday and kept sniffing. I had to turn over.

Dirty fingernails, men with long fingernails, heavy iced and decorated cakes, people who just look dirty without obvious signs of dirt, wet handshakes, wet and indecisive men.

Comb overs
Spitting on pavements
Talking with mouth full or chewing with mouth open
Lycra leisure wear
Snot face children
Men with fat stomachs

Those big ear lobe holes - can't look at them at all!!

@Yamaya

Seeing mens feet in flip flops - bleurghh!

I quite like that, I have a thing for mens feet

Definitely spitting on the street, why do some men do it?? I've never felt the need and it's just gross.

BO

Burping/farting like it's sport

Bad breath

Long toenails, on anyone.

Getting hair out of the shower drain - have to stop myself from vomming yes it's horrible even though I know it's virtually all mine!

Also agree long beards. Food in them. Yuck. I thought they said you couldn't wear a mask properly if you had a beard, so not sure why so many men still have the really long ones.

Hair under arms. Bleugh.

I wouldn't describe a smear test as a minor thing! I find them invasive, painful and traumatic Yes I think we need a petition for the government to roll out home testing. Shoving a long cotton wool bud up there to take a swab sounds much less horrible than the alternative.

Interesting that hair is an issue for so many of us isn't it.

• People eating with their mouth open.

• Men without their shirts on, on public benches, chairs, busses etc. I don’t want to sit on something that someone’s sweaty back has been touching. I don’t mean on the beach.

I’m relaxed about smear tests, nobody enjoys them, but they save lives. Home testing is not practical. The age range where young women are tested should be reduced though. Waiting until 25 costs lives.

Chips that've been squashed by a chair on pub floors and not cleaned up
Seeing people's cracked white flaky heels in summer

gaps between the two front teeth. not sure why but I can't stand to see it. ear with no lobes that just attach straight to the head

Chips that've been squashed by a chair on pub floors and not cleaned up YES, this is oddly specific but completely true.

@redfairy not quite the same but I once read a trashy magazine article (think along the lines of Take a Break) about a teenage girl dating a much older man. The man in question had a front tooth missing. The girl was gushing over him, saying how when they kiss she liked to "poke her tongue through the gap" where his tooth should have been.
😷

Cold things in tins such as baked beans or soup. If I dont look too closely I can get them in a pan and warm them up and it’s fine but if any of the contents touch me on the way in I feel queasy

Ear hair
Nose hair
Un-vacumed carpets with hard crumbs.
Eating noises
People whose spit clicks as they talk.
People who make clicky noises picking skin and fingernails.
Grown adults with food on their faces and clothes

the thought of a someone eating a runny fried egg makes me feel physically sick - which my husband finds hilarious!

Sticky floors.
When people don't wipe the sugar up and it sticks to the worktop.
My own blood when I've injured myself.
The sound of people tapping pens.
Excessively long fingernails or toenails.
Stained clothes (especially when they've been washed but the stain remains)
Greasy hair.
Feeling like I need a shower and not being able to for whatever reason.
