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

Men with long fingernails make me feel physically sick (not women though weirdly).
Poor oral hygiene in general- coffee breath, yellow tongue, white spittle at corners of mouth, etc
People who breathe heavily on the phone when talking to them
Chipped nail varnish
people eating with their mouths open
snakes, any kind of eel and komodo dragons - just the sight of them and I want to vomit

Rough skin that you can see even the slightest exfoliation would result in piles of remnants...

Beards

Nose hair - I once turned down an extremely handsome much younger man be aise his nose hair reminded me of Arthur Fowler from East Enders and I couldn't get past it

Grey haired men

Phonetic spelling

GreenlandTheMovie · 23/01/2021 10:17

Oh, and lip fillers

Changemaname1 · 23/01/2021 10:25

Hair detached from where it’s meant to be . Be it human or animal ! 🤮

Gross teeth

Men with small shoes ie small feet especially when not in proportion to rest of body

Men in ill fitting sweat pants with flip flops and no socks and if there feet are small then that would be worst case scenario 🤣🤮

Calmandmeasured1 · 23/01/2021 10:46

People who spit in the street (and the noise people make before they do it).
Snotty noses.
Fat lips.
Hairy backs and bottoms.
Men in drag.
Jellied eels.
All offal.
Slug slime (actually most slim or mucous).
Diarrhoea.

Lemmeout · 23/01/2021 10:58

Actually I have thought of something repulsive.
Men with long finger nails.... painted.
People digging up their nose.

There is something in my husband's favourite Chinese takeaway meal that catches him off-guard.

He starts doing this laboured breathing thing, then sticks his tongue out and waggles it around, then gets up stroppily to drink milk, then throws himself back into his chair with his tongue still out.

Honestly, I could KILL him each time.

I can't even figure out what causes such a reaction, because his dish is some chef's special version of black bean sauce and isn't even spicy.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 23/01/2021 11:25

Call me old fashioned but I don't think that spitting on the pavement or diahorrea can be called minor things.

AnxiousSM · 23/01/2021 11:29

Spitting
Bogies
Step children not flushing toilet
Noisy eating
Long plastic fingernails

Those big ear lobe holes - can't look at them at all!!
Oh god yes. Makes me want to throw up.
Tomcullenisahero · 23/01/2021 11:36

Hearing someone cough something up🤮, even writing that makes me retch.
The word Phlegm (kids think this is hilarious)
Greasy hair
Someone breathing loudly on a call, like Darth Vader (I have a couple of these on my work team meetings)
Seeing thick spit globs on the pavement
Hair in the shower

Feel a bit ill now 😄

The thought of eating cake after someone has blown out their candles all across it

CrotchetyQuaver · 23/01/2021 11:41

My dc's drinking. Why so noisy, whey do they need to breathe so heavily whilst doing it?! Angry

AlexisCarringtonColbyDexter · 23/01/2021 11:55

Men in drag

This is a good one! repulses me too- its always horribly OTT and like a caricature of what they think women should look like rather than what they actually do.

Repulsive.

MrsA2017 · 23/01/2021 11:57

When people eat a boiled egg. On holiday at the all inclusive buffet breakfast.

GingerChips · 23/01/2021 12:05

When people have greasy skin in their ears and it looks shiny.

People who scrape the fork with their teeth when they eat.

Butter and ketchup touching/mixing together.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 23/01/2021 12:05

Icing bags (as in used for piping icing onto a cake). All the oozing makes me want to puke.

Nose rings. Why would you deliberately make yourself look like a pig?

People eating near my ear
