I have a serious issue with phlegm. I'm sure everyone can agree that its disgusting but I've yet to meet someone with more of a disgust for it than I have. If I see it, I'll throw up. If I hear someone hacking, I'll feel the urge to puke but I can normally stop myself from actually following through.
I somehow managed to score the one person on the planet who has more phlegm than anyone I've ever met. Seriously, its been a challenge! If I could change one thing about FI, it would be that (well and the fact that he can't aim for shit). THANK GOD we each have our own bathroom or else I would be puking every. single. day.
Does anyone else have something that just absolutely repulses you to the point of throwing up?
I freak the hell out if I see mold on something. I opened a bag of bread that was perfectly good two days earlier and saw mold...and actually felt faint. EEEK!
Long toenails, nose hair, ear hair, and severely bad breath.
I think I need to go puke now...bleggghhhh
Edit-After @ MrsGrape said mold I don't know why but I thought of maggots. And now I feel ill. haha
I have a really weak stomach, so this probably isn't fair of me to answer, but fish, snot, wearing something around my neck and daily life frequently make me sick.
People who chew really loudly. I feel bad for my friends and family, because i can be kind of a chew-nazi. But seriously, people chomping on their food makes my stomach turn.
@Saeliz: Oh my god, long toenails. Shudder. It's like...why do people get fake toenails? Yuck! I hate it when guys have really long nails, too.
@Mrs Grape: That's the first thing that came to my mind too. It definitely gets my stomach feeling blah. As I think this post may do soon :-)
The smell of banana. If someone is drinking a banana smoothie and I smell it I start dry heaving.
@ILikePink: Me too. I feel awful for people that eat around me but I can't stand it. Even if they aren't chewing with their mouth open, if I can hear it, it grosses me out. Sometimes I actually lose my appetite.
Peppers repulse me. Weird, I know but I HATE the smell of peppers. FI once made stuffed peppers and I had to leave the house!
This is weird, and I know it. I cannot stand cotton balls. I cannot touch them. They make my skin crawl. If pills come with a cotton ball in them, I have to have someone else pull it out, or I get tweezers to pull it out.
Other than that, nothing, really.
@mandb122: Like people who eat really loud and you can hear their teeth slamming shut? UGH! My exbf used to do that-- it annoyed the crap out of me.
Or when people make that weird slurping/licking/lip-smacking noise? I want to smack people who do that around me. I give them serious hairy-eyeball!
Phlegm also grosses me out-- which is lame because I have a lot right now (trying not to get sick...). It's even SPELLED in a gross way!
I agree about phlegm. FI's family members have a lot of it apparently and they are constantly snorting and hacking up a lung in public. Makes me want to vomit, and then I wonder why they never excuse themselves to go to the restroom or something!
@JenniMichele: I also have trouble when I know people are eating and I can hear them breathing really loud. And to some extent swallowing. I'm actually just really bad all around with people eating and it's honestly the biggest reason I like to have the television on or I talk throughout the whole meal (or make sure I chew at the same time as everyone else so I can't hear).
@JenniMichele: FI makes the slurping/lip smacking noise sometimes....I give him the evil eye and he shuts up pretty quick. :P It's pretty gross, but luckily he doesn't do it as much anymore...his family on the other hand, well that's another story.
definitely puke.....its actually a somewhat debilitating phobia, because i can't be around it at all, and i FREAK THE HELL OUT if i think i'm going to be sick. I haven't thrown up since i was 13, so going on 17 years.
For all you HIMYM fans - i'm just like Ted Moseby - vomit free since 93!
Rats, mice and possums. Anything with that bare tail. It's a combination of extreme fear and disgust.
Eyeballs!
And I am an anatomist. I just can't do eyeballs - I dissect human bodies for a living I have stuck my thumb in a cadavers feces.... all fine. But when it comes to eyeballs I want to vomit!
I can't look at them, I can't touch them, and I can't watch other people touch them. And yes I wear contacts; however, DH says I have the weirdest way of putting them in. I can't look at what I am doing so I do it all by feel. UGH!
Not much repulses me as I spend much of my week in a bio lab mutating animals and cutting them up. But the sound of someone chews absolutely disgusts me.
Also, seeing someone squeeze into clothing 2 sizes too small and all their pudge hanging out :)
The sound of ice grinding--you know when you're pulling something out of the freezer and it scrapes against the ice? I can't even rub two ice cubes together. That sound is worse for me than nails on a chalkboard.
A lot of piercings are disgusting to me, especially septum, lip, and the kind that are just a stud in the arm. *gag*
Feet. Feet are disgusting and smelly. All feet. Even pictures of feet. Yuck.
@ScarletBegonia: Nice HIMYM reference!
The smell cigarette smokers get sometimes. I don't know when they get it, whether it's right after a break or during days of heavy continuous smoking, but it's unbearable. I want to throw up and my eyes start to water. The smell of cigarette smoke itself is bad enough, but somehow it's worse when it gets stuck on a person that way.
My FI is meticulous with his teeth cleaning ritual, unfortunately it also includes brushing his teeth while doing stuff on the computer and flossing while sitting at the foot of our bed watchign TV. Knowing that he's swallowing toothpaste foam and bits of whatever he's flossing out of his teeth just completely destroys me. SO GROSS.
Feet, the smell of pot (ick), puke. My worst one if definitely bad table manners, chewing with your mouth open is my biggest one. I do not want to see your half-masticated food, thxkbai.
@ buttontoes - Um are you my mom? For real, my mom has the same problem. She can not stand cotton. If she uses a q-tip she has to wet the end of it, and if there is a cotton ball in medicine, she has to get someone to take it out for her too, or use something else. She says the feel of it reminds her of nails of a chalk board, and it makes her skin crawl. I feel so bad now, because when me and my brothers were younger, we use to hide cotton balls around the house just to freak her out. :(
I cannot stand silverware scraping against a plate. (Wanna talk about nails on a chalk board? Jeez.) My older brother hates it as well. When someone grinds their fork against a plate, I just shudder, and grimace. I hate it so much. Fiance can't stand balloons being rubbed up against the wall. You know how you rub them against the wall to get them to stick to the wall? He hates that sound. I also hate phlegm. Everytime we go to visit Fiance family, and his younger brother is home from college, he leaves the bathroom door open when he goes to spit it out, and I just hear him hacking, and it makes me gag. *shudders.* THis might make you puke, so if you don't want to, don't read, but my mother when she was younger she was making out with some guy, and he coughed and hacked up some phlegm, and it went in her mouth (*Gags*) and ahhh! You know it was just nasty! Ehh! Anyway yea phlegm is yucky.
FMM- FI also can't stand eyeballs. If I have something in my eye, and I am trying to get it out he has a hard time not getting disgusted. (I don't have a problem with touching me eye, and I will really touch it to get whatever is in my eye out.) He hates when other people try to touch his eye as well.
@UpstateCait: i was okay with phlegm until one day in 4th grade when i saw a guy hock up a big wad of phelgm and he missed and it LANDED ON ANOTHER GIRL'S FOOT. we were young and i think she was shy so she didn't really know what to do so it just SAT there. UGHHH.
i am really obsessive about dental hygiene. teeth with gunk in them are gross.
Aside from the usual discordiant sounds (nails, silverware, etc)
I hate hate hate chewing tobacco. My advisor chews and it grosses me (and the rest of the seminar that he is teaching right now) out. On the year end review almost everyone told him in the comments how gross it is. When ever he spits I reach for my waterbottle because it makes me feel like I need to wash out my mouth. Everyone kind of shudders in unison.
**edit** And Earwigs. I can't believe I forgot to list earwigs. I can handle pretty much anything about the outdoors except for those nasty little things
@SoonToBeMrs.Kiss: OMG....I'm so glad I'm not the only one in the world who hates touching cotton balls! I've never known someone else to have this issue (I guarantee I'm not your mother...LOL)
@ILikePink: I completely agree with you! I can't stand the smacking, chomping, crunching noises some people make! I know some food is tough to chew quietly, but some people don't even try..haha!
I do not like blood and veins/arteries. I actually cried one Easter because I looked down at my foot in the car and saw the veins/artieries moving around under my skin as I moved my foot. FI teased me about it the whole ride to his family's house. It seriously bothers me sooo much. I have a hard time looking at my wrists as well. If I accidentally hit them I am afraid that I am going to accidentally knick one of them and slowly bleed to death under my skin. I heard a story about a cut under the skin that started out looking like a bruise, but actually was blood seeping out of a small cut into a vein or something. I am getting grossed out just thinking about it.......I know it is irrational, but I still get creeped out.
people chewing gum, i have no idea why they do it. i want to throw up now & i did just gag. and my dad can do these terrible burps/hiccups that just make me die.
@Meowkers: omgggg i'm exactly the same way.
@CaitMarae: Ha, great thread. I can't STAND the sound of smacking lips when someone's eating, which, you guessed it, is how DH loves to eat. :-) I'm learning to come around to it.
My tolerance for other gross things is remarkably high--I have even knowingly eaten food with maggots in it--but something about the smacking lips just repulses me.
I cant stand people cutting their nails in front of me
I dont understand how I get into the situation in the first place, but many people around me find it ok to cut their nails in front of me....flying, cut nails...
*shudder*
God help me if Im eating anything...*gag*
talking with a mouth full of food. And pretty much everything above people have mentioned... this whole thread is just repulsive!!!
Poop. well let me claify ... animal poop. I have a dog and I can NOT do that thing people do when they put their hand inside a plastic baggie and pick it up. I can not watch someone do it ... it gives me the heebie jeebies. I have actually physically done that gagg thing. I have to use one of those pooper scooper things. It's annoying really, i have changed diapers on babies and old folks, picked a few of my nieces noses ... and have even caught puke in my hands ... with NO problem.
@meliss: I am right there with you. I can't handle a naked tail animal. YUCK! The Tucson Zoo has squarells with less then fluffly tells and it freaks me out.
