I just wiped the sides of my mouth which felt really rough and has utterly grossed me out and now feels really sore.

The area younger blood from
Giving blood, see above
Feeling of Jeans, towels and flannels
Smear tests
The list goes on

Burping and beards oh and sniffers😫

lanbro · 23/01/2021 15:41

Bogies...if someone has one hanging out their nostril I'm definitely repulsed and have an irrational fear that it may somehow leap from their nostril on to me 🤢 and dirty finger nails, repulsive

sweetheartyparty · 23/01/2021 15:43

Worms, they make my skin crawl

DisgruntledPelican · 23/01/2021 15:47

Filling the dishwasher, especially if some food spills onto my fingers 🤢 I’m desperate to wash my hands immediately after this task.

I used to work in a restaurant kitchen and it didn’t bother me at all then. But plates from my own house? Ew, no.

Jamie Oliver sticking his fingers in all of his dishes.

(I like his recipes btw just can't stand his fingers in everything.)

@ChikiTIKI I know what you mean. I used to clean an office, and having to look at or touch balls of used blue tack made me feel the same. Also if people screw up foil sweet wrappers. And once somebody very kindly made me some truffles and explained how she made them. "You take spoonsful of the mixture and roll it between your hands to make it into balls". I managed to try one in front of her, then gave the rest to my partner later!

@Fuckityfucksake thank you for the hair remover tip! I was just about to throw out a tube I have in the bathroom!

BeckyWithTheGoodHair5629456 · 23/01/2021 16:23

Childrens wobbly teeth 🤮

VillaMia · 23/01/2021 16:24

Eggs. Horrible, snotty, disgusting eggs.

Oooohbehave · 23/01/2021 16:33

Public swimming pools. The sight of other people half naked all swimming together.
When men have a straggly little beard tied in an elastic band.
Big bushy beards in general.
Long fingernails on men.
Nipple piercings

Youtrustthefridge · 23/01/2021 16:41

I once saw a pigeon pecking through vomit on a pavement. I have never forgotten it and it still makes me feel funny.
Oh and long fingernails on men.

Happycow · 23/01/2021 16:47

Oh the Veet down the plughole is genius! Removing the hair that is pretty much all minenis enough to tip me over the edge. Veet is going on the next shop.

@Soundbyte

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

Anything in the corner of people mouths

Sharing cutlery/cups/drink bottles with anyone else even my partner.

Oh yes. Its paericylarly disgusting when they talk to each other with their mouths full of frothy toothpaste foam and spit. I'm waiting for them to accidentally swallow it. It makes me want to vomit.

Copper Coins for some reason, I literally don't want to touch them and a physical repulsion goes through me.

LemonDrizzles · 23/01/2021 16:54

Ceramics. Just typing the word makes my ears hurt

georgarina · 23/01/2021 16:54

Ah I hate that sore-sides-of-the-mouth thing!

Hands, especially nails, that feel too dry - especially when they've been in sand or something...ugh

The smell of Mcdonalds or outside butchers

Overly sweet floral perfume

The taste of cold chicken that's been in the fridge...tastes like wet dog somehow?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 23/01/2021 16:55

Oh and the remaining evidence when someone has spat on the ground and I just retched typing it.

Fart and burp humour. I'm not a funsponge but again, I literally physically retch at it.

ladypete · 23/01/2021 17:28

Horrible finger nails (in my opinion, of course)
As in too much white to nail ratio. Not necessarily the length, but the actual ratio of white to nail.

Too much white on stubby nails makes me shivver. Grin

pelosi · 23/01/2021 17:38
