Fluff thread: What weird thing do you find disgusting? (Not normal icky things; I mean oddities.)

[kimblebee]

Gosh I thought I was the only one. I don't care if there is only ONE bubble left after doing dishes I'm spraying it down the drain.

I thought I was the only one too LOL

Clothes dryer lint. I keep an old KTTW card on top of the dryer to scrape the lint off the screen because I will gag if I touch it.

The feel of velvet. I absolutely hate it. Similarly, those nubby Norwex towels people hang in their bathrooms. The feel of it is so uncomfortable for me, I just wipe my hands on my pants. I’m not crazy about microfiber either. Any material that sticks to my dry hands weirds me out.

Gauges (gages?) in ears. Yick.

YES!

Hair in the shower/tub drain.

Little children dropping plastic sporks on the floor.Work at a preschool,and if there's a hell,that's what I'll be hearing along with snapping gum."Shudder"....

People brushing their teeth on tv.
Food particles in my soapy water. Please, rinse the big stuff off
And putting milk in scrambled eggs and/or scrambling them in bacon grease. I blame my Mom for this one. She always scrambled her eggs firm---so firm they bounce( yep, that is what she actually told people in restaurants!)

Memory foam. I'm okay if it has a cover, but I get so grossed out if I touch bare memory foam that it makes me shiver. I have to have the kids remove/replace the cat bed cover for me

I’m with you on the teeth brushing. I assume my daughter learned how to brush her teeth because I certainly have never checked by watching her

I absolutely cannot tolerate being breathed on. Doesn't matter who or under what circumstances. (Yes, it's very distracting in certain situations - strategies must be employed. ) Keep your disgusting, warm, damp breath off me!! If I feel a breeze brush my skin I whirl around to make sure nobody is near enough to be breathing on me.

Similarly, if anyone's long hair brushes against me (accidentally, like in a dense crowd) something inside me dies.

I don’t gag, but I do clean the lint screen of my dryer with a paper towel so I don’t have to touch the lint.

What makes me gag is gum. Gum is so disgusting I would never put any in my mouth and I think other people chewing gum is so gross. I can’t imagine why you put something in your mouth and then keep it there just chewing and chewing. I guess that’s why I love the parks, because they don’t sell gum!

This really wouldn't be an everyday occurrence, but when 2 pairs of scissors collide and come together it's like nails on a chalkboard to the tenth power to me. (Happened in my Anatomy class when we did dissections. Just picturing it gives me the heebie jeebies.)

The sound of people clipping their nails bothers me.

I don’t like seeing feet in sandals, flip flops, etc. Bare feet don’t bother me at all or peep toe heels on women. But sandals and flip flops gross me out. Even in gladiator epics.

Agree on both.

I got a good one for you with nail clipping. Working first class during a dinner service. One male passenger declines the meal, not hungry. Then proceeds to take off his shoes and socks and start clipping his toe nails while the rest of first class was being served. I had to politely tell him to take that into the lavatory. Who does this?

Yes!! I hate any air blowing directly on me.

 

[Flowers12]

Touching wet car door handles.

 

[zippy2]

Lots of little holes.

Touching wet car door handles.

Wet bathroom door handles are much worse !

Indeed, what kind of person grows up in this world believing this is acceptable behavior? Gross!

So funny.... I have to have air on my face ( from a fan or AC, not a mouth breather!) at all times. I have a fan on my nightstand and a fan on my office desk that I run year round!

I quite like a breezy day and we always sleep with a fan on, which I find very relaxing...once I'm absolutely sure the moving air is from the fan and not DH. Additionally, I'm not a "sleep-toucher". We have an over-sized comforter so I can use it to build a little wall between the two of us when it's time to go to sleep.
