LakesideMaiden Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Oh, I thought of one other one: ticks Not or Beloved TRF Member tick.... but those horrible creepy, crawly deer ticks and wood ticks. >>shudder<< If one is even thought to be on a person in my company, it's a psychosomatic reaction that my skin will crawl and I will automatically think one is on ME.

barney_rebel Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Guys doing the horking sound and then usually spit afterwards. Not to sound racist, or to put down my own heritage, but chinese guys are the worst for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound racist, or to put down my own heritage, but chinese guys are the worst for that. I remember hearing that the Beijing Olympic Committee was engaging in efforts to get the Chinese to stop spitting everywhere, as they were worried about international visitors being grossed out. And Neil mentioned seeing 4-year-old kids hawk one up when he biked through China. I've heard the Japanese have no reservations about farting whenever and wherever, but they are totally grossed out by nose-blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Eating with one's mouth open, I cannot bear to see it, or more importantly, hear it. Oh Jesus, whenever there's a chef on a radio station and the presenter eats the food and you can hear the munching, lip licking and stuff, AAAGHHH!!!! And slurping. I F*CKING hate that sound. Oh yeah. The word "succulent" drives me f*ckin' spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigman208 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Being completely terrified of bats.....and I mean TERRIFIED.....if that happened to me I would have sh*t myself and then screamed at the top of lungs.

Babycat Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Following on from snot hanging from someone's nose - I feel physically sick when they've wiped said nose and there's a bit of it on the tip of it. A strand of hair in sinks or dinner plates. The mere thought of tin foil sets my teeth on edge. And the way someone drags a fingernail or a piece of chalk down a board.

1 of the 7 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Pretty much anything wet, most of which have been mentioned. Even kissing grosses me out. I do it, but I wipe my mouth off (and my boyfriend laughs at me). One that hasn't been mentioned is walking in wet grass with loose clippings...when those get stuck to my feet, I take the nearest opportunity to scrub like hell to get them off. The wetness thing is weird, because I like to swim (provided the water is REALLY clean). But I can't put wet bathing suits on after taking them off. Have to get a dry one. Another one: when my customers have rotten breath and I have to stifle a gag. It lingers for minutes afterward and makes me cold sweat. Yet another one: any smells left on my hands, especially metallic smells. Have to get that off ASAP. It's even worth getting wet to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stops me in my tracks, deal-breaker, good-bye, have a nice life. Ugh, sloppy kissers are the worst! Back in my single days, it didn't matter if all the other chemistry was there and working its mojo. If the guy turned out to be a sloppy kisser, that was it. Game over. I can't stand stepping on insects with an exoskeleton. It's not the guts, it's the "crunch" I can't deal with. I've woken my husband up before to kill a roach in the shower. I can "Raid" the thing to death and then deal with the corpse, no problem. I just don't do crunchy bugs. Edited April 4, 2011 by Mara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
