Things you hate the feel of

In My Humble Opinion
41

Right there with you. I don’t even buy flame-retardant jammies anymore, I just couldn’t stand touching them. Plus they made the kids itchy and uncomfortable.

Broccoli will not pass my lips. The “tree” part completely freaks me out. I will cook with mushrooms because I love the taste they impart into certain foods, but I will not eat them. The slimy, slippery texture is revolting. Green beans squeak in my teeth and I can’t eat them anymore.

Combing my girls’ hair into ponytails while the hair is wet is unpleasant.

Wooden utensils and styrofoam, check.

Wet dogs.

Farm animals that practically wrap my hand in their tongues when I feed them when I take the kids to a farm or petting zoo.

Taking clothes out of the dryer when my hands are dry and chafed.

I agree that sounds hideous, but why would you even put a paper towel on your teeth?

You know when you wipe a table with a cloth that you washed the dishes with? And you’re hands are left fealing kinda greasy?

::shudder::

44

Newspapers!
I also can’t stand the way they smell or the sound it makes when 2 newspaper pages rub together.

45

I was wondering the exact same thing.

46

I hate the wood thing too. I’m glad to see agree since I’ve never met anyone else who felt that way.

47

Thank God! I’m not alone after all!

I’ll also second JessEnigma’s dislike for wet latex.

And certain kinds of seafood that sort of squeak against your teeth . . . cringe

I third or fourth the wooden utensil thing. Not for regular wooden kitchen spoons as much as for the fast-food spoons or tongue depressors. (I’m lucky I didn’t have to go to the doctor much when I was a kid!) But the absolute worst offender has got to be Chinese fast-food chopsticks. There’s no real way to keep them from rubbing against your tongue, and (ugh ugh blech blech blech) the wood fibers grate against the tongue in a similar fashion to the cliched fingernails & chalkboard. Tends to ruin a good yummy meal. Ick!

Stepping on something squishy unexpectedly is yucky too. Oh, and dry hands are AWFUL!! Especially when you are stuck in a long class or meeting or something, or travelling, and have no prospects of even getting them wet, much less applying hand lotion, for several hours…that way leadeth to insanity my friends.

Didn’t used to like flannel sheets, but lately I’ve found them to be kind of nice because they’re soft and warm. Egad, I’m turning into my mother! :eek: :o

49

Chalk.

It makes my skin crawl just thinking of handling chalk.

50

Jelly.
Always jelly.
When I was a kid, I’d burst into tears at birthday parties when they served up the dessert of ice-cream and jelly. I CAN’T STAND IT…the flavours are fine, its just the feel of the revolting squishy stuff that sets me off.

Yet I’ll happily down a dozen raw oysters! Figure that out.

51

Blackboards. The old chalk kind.

52

Wet socks EEEWWW!!!

53

My sister and I thought we were the only people in the world who cannot tolerate the texture of mushrooms. It’s not the flavor…it’s the flesh-like texture of them that makes my teeth try to crawl back up into my gums when I nearly bite into one.

Gaaaaahhhh! I just shivered all over thinking about that.

I can’t handle the snot-like consistency of that goop inside a tomato, either. A tomato is fine until you get to the guts of one. Makes my stomach heave just typing this.

My other weird dislike is soft ice cream. Gag! I can’t stand the slippery, oozy, melty feeling in my mouth. Even if it’s cold as it can be, I feel like it’s partially soured. Ice cream, in my own house, has to be cement hard, and I eat it pretty quickly, so I can avoid the melty-icky feeling.

Funny thing is, I love milkshakes, and they have to be runny. I hate thick shakes.

I never said I was normal.

54

anything absorbent in my mouth. That’s the worst part of a visit to the dentist. Drill some more, but DON’T but that cotton in my mouth!

55

Ooh, I forgot the cotton. Ugh. I’ve had a lot of dental work done in my life and always, the cotton rubbing against the teeth…shivers are running through my body just thinking about it.

I would rather pet snakes than have oil or grease on my hands. It gives me the collywobbles to even think of it.

57

My two biggest things:

  1. Sticky foods. I just hate eating sticky foods, touching them, handling them, chewing them, etc. I have to wash my hands right away afterwards.

  2. My pulse. I hate putting my finger on my wrist, that constant throb, throb, etc just creeps me out. I can’t wait for the 10 seconds to be over, if I can last that long. But I am happy I have one.:slight_smile:

58

Onions. I can not fot the life of me understand how ANYONE can eat an onion! Just watching others eat onions makes me want to puke. It’s not so much the taste (although they tase awful) but the texture on my teeth! Just a disgusting slimy/cruncky/nasty EEEHHHHAAAAA… I seek out and remove all onions from everything i eat, even if its a pieve so small other people wouldn’t notice it.
