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 don't know why it where it came from but the top of bottle lids. It makes me wretch touching them... I can't explain it.

PottyRuddy · 24/01/2021 08:08

Why or where*

peak2021 · 24/01/2021 08:11

Sour milk.

Meecrowavay · 24/01/2021 08:46

Toads
Tinned meat
Long nails - real and fake
Tea slurping

When someone on the bus has long wet hair.
The windows of the bus are fogged up with dripping condensation.
The person leans against the window and their long wet hair sticks to the glass.

I hate when you can see a man's chest hair poking through the top of his shirt Sad

Bluesername · 24/01/2021 09:38

The crackly, slightly sticky sound effect which goes with insects on nature programmes

Smiledwiththerisingsun · 24/01/2021 09:45

Men in flip flops 🤢

Oneearringlost · 24/01/2021 09:45

Actors eating as part of their role.
It is usually exaggerated to fulfil the "naturalness" of the scene, and often it is accompanied with licking fingers or speaking with their mouth full; it makes me want to scream.

Onlinedilema · 24/01/2021 09:48

Unclean people. Beards, dirty clothes, inappropriately dressed people such as turning up in scruffy clothes or casual clothes when it is a more formal event. Men in shorts and flip flops and a big coat and hat when it's snowing.
Seeing someone's belly button, usually young women in inappropriate clothing. Seeing the rubber bands in hair extensions. Really long take finger nails with diamonds on. People talking with their mouth full. People not answering the question I ask, just giving me random facts.

Smiledwiththerisingsun · 24/01/2021 09:51

Hospitals.

@AlwaysLatte

The area younger blood from ?? People eating near my ear Eating on public transport. Just wait! People touching their pets then eating without washing their hands. Cats on kitchen worktops
Think op meant the area you get blood from, as in the inside of your elbow or wrist.

Mine is people eating apples, puts my teeth on edge

lollipoprainbow · 24/01/2021 10:11

@Jigglyjugs what is your sil eating ??!

lollipoprainbow · 24/01/2021 10:13

Getting Cat food on my hands when I'm dishing it out.
The smell of tomato ketchup, I love the taste though and washing up plates where there is ketchup on them bleurgh !

tatutata · 24/01/2021 10:13

Popping spots on my husband's back. At his request.

Jigglyjugs · 24/01/2021 11:47

@lollipoprainbow, it can honestly be anything, the entire family except MiL take giant mouthfuls of food. They shovel it down as if it might disappear, so I think the noises are more from having too much food and not enough space to chew or breathe Envy

Also remembered that tooth grinding really makes my stomach churn, and uncooked bits of egg. Bleugh.

meltedgalaxy · 24/01/2021 11:49

Eating something soft and suddenly there's a crunchy bit

millievanille · 24/01/2021 12:22

Brushing your teeth and finding out a hard, dry piece of toothpaste has found it's way into your mouth. Makes me gag for about a minute.
Bluebottle flies and their vile offspring
Cous cous

Personally I love that, nothing turns me on more Blush
LemonSherbetFancies · 24/01/2021 13:27
  1. Morning breath and seeing couples on tv kiss in the mornings before they must have had a chance to brush their teeth.
  2. Really bitten down nails
  3. Smell of wet dog on people
  4. Some celebrity saying he liked his wife 'ripe' when performing sexual acts and not freshly washed. It was years ago but still makes me feel ill.
  5. Too much cheese sauce in a macaroni cheese dish. Reminds me of snot.
Bambam2019 · 24/01/2021 13:31

@likeamillpond

A person drinking while there's still food in their mouth. White gunky spit balls in the corners of people's mouths. Men with moustaches and no beards - yuck. Hairy backs Moles with hairs growing out of them.
ALL of these....just shuddered reading them 😷😩
LemonSherbetFancies · 24/01/2021 13:39

Also,those 'thumbprint' cakes. Where you have to press your thumb into the centre to create the effect you want. Makes me feel ill, the thought of someone doing that and then others eating the cakes afterwards.

HintOfVintagePink · 24/01/2021 13:41

Lots of small circles next to each other. Like a poppy seed head. Makes me think of infested flesh for some reason and I feel very creeped out and unwell

HintOfVintagePink · 24/01/2021 13:42

Lotus pod head I meant, not poppy

SpnBaby1967 · 24/01/2021 16:41

Those really long fake nails that seem to be in fashion now. Even worse when they're shaped into a triangle/claw.

Mostly it's the sound they make when typing. I was served my a girl in Primark and as she tapped on the till screen all I could hear was that awful "clack clack" sound. Just turns my stomach as I imagine all the grime under them.

My younger sister has long nails and a newborn, honestly I dont know how to doesnt accidentally shank my niece's arse every time she changes her nappy.

Oh and letting your dog lick you! Especially your face, I mean WTF people!
