Phobias and Revulsions!
Permalink  
 

Yesterday I was talking to R about snakes, which don't bother me at all (non-poisonous, of course) and he was literally shuddering as we talked, LOL. 

What are some of your fears or revulsions that other folks don't seem to mind at all? 

I'll start - someone clearing their sinuses within my hearing, especially if I am eating, makes me want to gag. bleh

I hate that sound as well. DD does it a few times a day and I make her go into another room to do it. Blech.

I also hate any creepy crawly bug.

Blowing your nose while eating will get a verbal reaction from me. I can't stand it.

And spitting, especially on me, will usually result in a knee jerk reaction that can be quite physical. I can not handle that. It's one of things that makes me see red.

As for gross things, sounds can gross me out faster than seeing.

Example, when I had to have my wound packed after surgery, the nurse would change it. I could watch every second of it. But that sticky wet sound made me nauseous every single time.

Drivers speeding up behind me at a stop sign or red light and slamming on the brakes at the last second, then stopping within 2 feet of my bumper.

I'm not a fan of snakes either, Honeys. I won't scream or act like an ass. I will calmly walk away, ASAP.

Wayne, picks them up, and plays with them.

Go figure!confuse

Wayne, hates spiders. He kind of freaks.

I just step on them, or hit them with a fly swatter.

I'd rather deal with a spider, than a snake.

But, that's just me.wink

I don't mind any critters or creepy-crawlies. Show me a snake and I'll make a pet out of it. Don't mind germs, noises or gore of any kind.
The one thing I can't handle is......dentures. Dentures totally creep me out.

Lack of wearing dentures, drives me over the edge.

My Grandmother, only put them in, for church on Sunday.

The rest of the week, we had to listen to her, "beat her food to death, with her gums."

Talk about gross.

Gak! Is all I can say.cry

Vomiting really bothers me. I can put my hands in someone's body. I can witness infections beyond your worst nightmares. I can hold amputated body parts. Vomit in front of me and I will join you.

 Have you seen the antismoking commercial where the guy takes his teeth out? That sound gives me a severe case of the allovers.

Puke, pee , and poop, the three p's used to bother me until I had kids and a dog, no longer. Tonight I took the babysitter and DD outside to put all the junk next to the driveway for a dump run.. We re positioned the log holders and picked up some crap that was in my yard for a few months. I was startled by a snake. ewww. I have so many this year.

Spiders. I hate them. But what makes me gag is people who chew. And they have that spit bottle. And just typing this is making me gag.

Sorry, logic error detected.

* Women don't fart.

* You are a woman.

* So you do not fart.

 

Please resolve input error.

 LOL LOL on the bolded, FWM! biggrin

My dad not only chews tobacco and keeps a spit cup by his chair that I try my best not to look at (at least he empties it himself), but due to I suppose allergies he hawks and spits into that cup.  All.  Day.  Long.  It is a labor of love to igore it.  I confess there have been times I've put my food back in the fridge after I've just started eating and I hear the hawk.... my dear R has tactfully ignored it all and never mentions it.  smile

Spiders don't bother me at all, unless they are a gigantic tarantula.

Other bugs or insects (with the exception of centipedes) don't really bother me, either.

Now snakes...I shudder just thinking about them.
