What sets your teeth on edge?

9 Aug 2008

Yes, its the weekend, and as I wont be on later on (cos im off out on a girlies night out) I thought I'd post my usual sticky beak nosy thread!
so, in my usual probing style....what sets your teeth on edge....you know those little 'things' that when you see, hear or even just think about you get goosebumps, go to jelly, cringe inwardly, your bum scrunches up, your eardrums wiggle (that ones what happens to me) and probably a hundred and one other things.....
mine is hearing someone scrape a chair or table along a wood/tilled/laminate floor :shock:
this in itself is fairly easy to avoid.....unless you work with the under threes who have a habit of using chairs etc as walkers or prams and happily toddle along pushing a chair across the floor as support :shock: mad

:x the little darlings :x
Mr B's is hearing me crunch on icecubes....which unfortunately for him, is something I love to do and will often get a glass of ice to munch on along with my voddy n coke on a night out biggrin

so what makes your nerves jingle??

Big Red Pot Planters mad

You know the ones for your garden... the really heavy rough feeling pots what you put ur plants in... OMG i can feel myself cringing at just the thought sad

People who panic when the pin machine says "Card not accepted" when im working :x
Then there is the ones who punch there number in before its ready... Or take there cards out b4 the damn pin machine has even registered the card :x
:x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

There are a whole load of words that make me cringe but I'm not going to tell you what they are or you'll all just start using them! rolleyes

I hate the whole cotton wool thing too! Makes my blood run cold! Yuck! I'm not very good with some types of loo roll either. And don't get me started about them hanging the wrong way. evil

Wooden ice lolly sticks or this things you get in the coffee shops to stir with... don't put them anywhere near your teeth. Yuck! :evil:
Potatoes... I can't touch them unless they're wet. I couldn't go into a bag of tatties with bare hands. Yuck! :evil:
There are loads more but I think I'll stop now. redface

Yup... I'm fairly fussy about a lot of wooden things... I think it's the dryness and when I think about touching something that's not smooth it makes me shiver! confused

As part of my condition my brain perceives some sounds as painful stimulus. The worst being the rustle of cheap plastic bags. It's bloody agony, literally!
And I'm with Dirtygirlie on the lollipop sticks, shudder.

No I don't think so...find tapping irritating - hearing it an watching some one do it!
Oh and the Bristol hum does my head in!!!

9 Aug 2008

Oiks playing music on their mobile phones on the train/bus!!!
The texture of liver and kidney (might be alright for a bath though lp and Winch) lol

The sound of a dentist drill...

9 Aug 2008

Oh god... I've been thinking about this more... redface

Textures. I have a lot of things that I can't deal with the texture of. Onions and mushrooms... I like the flavour of both but I can't eat either.
I used to hate the feel of velvet but that one has kind of grown on me.
I think I'm just fairly odd! :haha:

Balloons squeaking together.
Polystyrene squeaking against cardboard.
People chewing with their mouths open.

A squeeky fanbelt on a car.. or worn brakes... :shock: really makes my skin crawl!

Balloons full stop. I hate them. Unless they're the nice foil helium ones that I can suck out the air and record my answering machine message! :mrgreen:

9 Aug 2008

I can't even have cotton wool in the house, bit of a phobia there!!

9 Aug 2008

Balloons...have a total fear and actually get slightly hysterical watching them at parties...if one comes near me I run as if Im being chased by a big tiger redface

Also people scraping the cutlery accross their plates making that squeeking sound...oh and noisy eaters (deep nose breathing is not attractive to watch or listen to!!)
Also...3 foot, 90 yr old female drivers...enough said :shock:

Me too- it drives me nuts! With one exception...

which makes me all silly

hwoar:
Slimy things- eg mushrooms.
The thought/knowledge that there are fish swimming with me- although I was lucky enough to swim with a wild dolphin a few times a couple of years ago, and was fine with that.
Belching/farting in public.

9 Aug 2008

Oh...I whistle continually without really realising it...I'm happy OK!?! I never thought that there may be people wishing they could give me a black eye for it in the supermarket queue!! smile

the dogs claws tiptapping on the laminate evil

oh and i hate cheesecake for everything the look, texture, taste, and colour its sick pretending to look nice and failing horribly :shock: :vommitemote:
Oh and hate the feeling of socks on my feet mad

9 Aug 2008

I cant stand touching velvet. Also the thought of scrapping a nail along a piece of chalk sets my spine shuddering. Quite irrational really isn't it. I mean, you don't walk along the street scrapping chalk. It's funny how we are strangely attracted to the that which we dislike. People scared of heights will sometimes climb up high and have an urge to jump off. The point made above about eating wool I can fully understand.
Probably explains why I've run out of clothes.
