The area younger blood from
Giving blood, see above
Feeling of Jeans, towels and flannels

People picking their nose..it is the most stomach churning revolting habit..vile

Bean sprouts remind me of when my cat had a bad dose of worms.

Chunkymenrock · 23/01/2021 19:51

Big lumpy moles near people's mouths. The insides of people's mouths. Thin men. Tattoos, especially when they've gone all navy blue and smudged. Young people with hunched posture.

Dogs when they do that circle thing then arch there backs and have a poo. I think about the fumes coming off of it and the owner breathing in the poo fumes as they bend to pick it up. Then carrying it around in warm little bags. 🤢

People biting their nails. The germs that must be under them and the noise as they do it.

Ears - my nan needed her hearing aids putting in. Had to get DH to do it 🤢

Mens feet

Spitting/snotting on to pavements

The feel of wet knitted clothing, when it goes that sort of crunchy feel

When my DD11 licks her fingers after eating crisps, ugh the way she does it is revolting! I yell at her to go wash her hands

hansgrueber · 23/01/2021 20:14

Wet tea bags, I can just about manage to put a dry one into a cup or tea pot but I can't handle the wet ones.
Badly folded newspapers! My OH would look through the Saturday section of the Telegraph then when I picked it up to do the crosswords it wasn't folded neatly, edge to edge. I would spend ages refolding it before I could make a start! I

@ChikiTIKI agree! Sugar art grosses me out. All the sweat!

Tanfastic · 23/01/2021 20:22

Long fingernails on men
Dirty fingernails
Food/spit build-up in the corner of people's mouths 🤢
Waxy ears
Sleep in eyes

Oh Jesus I feel ill after writing that.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 23/01/2021 20:31

The white saliva that collects at the corners of some peolmes mouths.

People that talk to you with saliva rolling around their mouths.

Long nails on men.

Really greasy hair

The feeling of valour

The look and smell of ketchup and brown sauce. Most tangy daices actually, but tomatoes is the worst.

The feeling of carpet on jg bare feet. Although uts getting better. I had a home teeth whitening kit from the dentist and it made my teeth really sensitive and for some reason that's when the carpet thing started.

The sound of other people brushing their teeth.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 23/01/2021 20:31

using my beautiful, eye wateringly expensive Japanese knives on the hideous glass cutting board he purchased, rather than the beautiful Butchers' Block or other lovingly cared for and cherished wooden boards

Bloody hell, just go to Wilko.

Sunbird24 · 23/01/2021 20:43

Any saliva that isn’t mine touching my skin, especially on my face, practically sends me into a panic attack.

relaxtakeiteasyeatcheese · 23/01/2021 20:47

People whispering in my ear. It just creeps me out.

WeavingWandering · 23/01/2021 21:03

Those sisal / natural woven carpets... all I can think is that that they are basically giant loofahs for people’s feet and must be constantly coated in shaved off foot skin...

🤢

Chargebeam · 23/01/2021 21:07

Xenia

SugarBlissOrJ17 · 23/01/2021 21:14

Chocolate smeared around kids’ faces. Give them a wipe! And unclipped nails with a line of dirt under.

sortmylifeoutplease · 23/01/2021 21:17

Mayonnaise. Cottage cheese - looks like white vomit. Watching people putting pierced earrings in or out (even my own)!

coronafiona · 23/01/2021 21:20

Houses that smell of animals. Envy

Catscrat · 23/01/2021 21:23

The little gloopy, stringy bit of an egg white -makes me want to vom.

Dog poo on pavements.

itbemay1 · 23/01/2021 21:32

Spittle in the corners of the mouth
False nails - more so with dirt underneath them
Envy

itbemay1 · 23/01/2021 21:34

Long fingernails on men

EveningOverRooftops · 23/01/2021 21:36

When you have dry skin on your feet and you get into a bed with cheap poly cotton sheets and it kind catches like Velcro 🤮

They do get really soft with wear and do bugger all for my dry feet 🤣
Postnasaldrop · 23/01/2021 21:42

Toothpaste or any toothpaste diluted spit on the mirror

Fifilafrog · 23/01/2021 22:53

Basically any bodily excretion. Snot, earwax, spots, grease, farts, halitosis, sweat. The list goes on. Bodies are gross. I get why it's necessary but, really. 🤮

Insect larvae
Raw meat
She'll fish (they mostly filter 💩)
Those giant hole ear piercings
The smell of bins
The smell of hot tarmac

So many things!

ballroompink · 23/01/2021 23:03

People with clothes covered in animal hair
People who are visibly dirty/with visibly stained and dirty clothes/caked greasy dirty hair
