[/QUOTE]

I’m right there with ya’ girlie up 'til the cheese thing. Now, hating cheese is just an abomination. Cheese is the gift of the Gods, nevermind stupid Ambrosia.

Oh, and Ambrosia is nasty. Those slimy little marshmallows soaking up juice and becoming all slippery and bloated, ick!

Things in jello. I can’t stand to see things just floating there, suspended in gelatinous goo. I like my jello pure and unadulterated.

[QUOTE=athelas]  
The feeling you get when accidentally scratching sheets. It’s just as bad as scratching chalkboards to me. Brr.  
[/QUOTE]

Yes! I hate that!

But what’s worse is when my cat licks the sheets. She’ll be cleaning herself when she’s lying in the bed with me and then, for whatever reason, she’ll start licking the sheets. I hate the noise her tongue makes.

I hate when people put food directly on counterspace, even if they just wiped the counter.
