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

Spitting
Loud eaters
Loud breathers - specifically mouth breathing
Seeing snot up someone's nose
Earwax in someone's ear
Dirty fingernails
People who shovel their food in with a spoon. I know someone who curls their arm around the bowl protectively as they do this.
Beards and mustaches don't bother me if they're real beards and mustaches - bum fluff on the upper lip makes me feel strange
Long toe nails
Lip fillers
Really thick makeup - it makes my own skin feel weird when I see it.

The bits of white attached to the yolk of the egg, have to remove them as they make me want to vomit.

Swingometer · 23/01/2021 13:14

Doing the washing up and dealing with a plate with a big lump of congealed chutney or mustard

The thought of picking up a big pile of steaming dog shit with only a thin layer of plastic protecting my hand (no I don't own a dog!)

The sound of someone coughing up phlegm or snorting snot back up their nose

LemonSherbetFancies · 23/01/2021 13:15
  1. Grown adults sticking their tongue out in photos. Looks pathetic and seeing the tongue plaque is just vile.
  2. The smell of womens public toilets especially when you go into a cubicle another woman has just used.
  3. Dribbles of wee on the loo seat
  4. The smell of cooking on clothes
  5. Certain perfumes and aftershaves
  6. People who lick their fingers and hand out paperwork or after eating.
  7. The slogan from KFC 'finger lickin good' makes me want to vom a bit
  8. Greasy hair
  9. Sleep in eyes
Pretty much most of what has been mentioned here.

When people blow snot out of their nose onto the pavement- it makes me gag

The smell of cigarettes on people who smoke. Yuck
People who don’t clean their noses properly
Nasal hair
Using the loo just after someone else has used it. The smell makes me want to heave especially if they have not made sure it is clean after use.

Watching people brush their teeth. It’s always on tv or in films and there’s just no need! 🤢

Warm chairs - it turns my stomach if anyone (other than maybe a close family member) says"I've warmed the chair for you". Gross.

Seeing other people's used napkins on plates when eating out.

Watching people lick every finger

When people put empty wrappers in a cup

I love apples but used I cannot bear other people's apple cores.

Men touching their pitifully fluffy beards.
Men’s feet in sandals.
Sandals - except on children.
Youths in shorts in WINTER. Wtf? And fake tan on their ugly legs.
Bare legs at formal functions - esp in cold weather.
All leggings.
Hipster everything.

Janegrey333 · 23/01/2021 15:13

None of them cause me issues.

Hairs in food or a hair brush on the table etc
Feet - looking at them.

Inspired by another thread - thongs, that little bit of fabric that goes up the bum

Fuckityfucksake · 23/01/2021 15:30

*For those repulsed cleaning hair from down plugholes
Immac hair remover squirted down plugholes and left for 10/15 mins dissolves it so no need to pull it out anymore.
You're welcome!

Mince! cooked or raw makes me feel sick.
Offal too.
Larvae of any kind knocks me ill - it's the way it moves urgh.
