chickencam Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Teddy bears or other cuddlies near my face. I think it is dust thing. Cotton wool Silk or anything that rough hands can catch on, also having rough hands or hands with dry soil or sand on them, bit of a problem because I love gardening, so wear gloves in the winter but have to grit my teeth in the summer. Feet except baby feet, and smelly feet are just the end Painted toe nails, I just can't look at them. Ooh just seen the doll thing, I hate dolls of any kind, and those 'real' babies that they advertise in the newspapers. Aaargh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Escalators I'm much better than i used to be and will use them but don't like them. Oh yes I agree... and particularly the ones on the London tube..they are truly unpleasant and bring on vertigo big time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Plum tomatoes! I used to work in Pathology & they just remind me of a certain body part ( male). I could not do that job these days - too stressful & would certainly make me queasy. Oh & Roll mop herrings - bleugh! Do people really eat those?

Olly Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Belly buttons! I can't bear to touch my own,and can't stand anyone else touching it - and I definitely couldn't ever have it pierced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 My ED nearly had hysterics when she dicovered her tummy button at the age of about 2, she hasn't been very keen since either. I was also very scared of the London tube escalators as a child, we would have to cross London to get to High Wycombe where my Grandparents lived and the really scary part was stepping over the gap and going through the automatic doors of the tube trains. i would dread this for ages before hand and would get nearly hyterical about it. i was under 8 at the time.

Goldstar Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Mine would be snot, not the dribbly kind the really think stuff. Not very good when I work in a Nursery. I have to 'glove up' and use a double thinkness of tissues. Also I am terrified of the gap betwwen the platform and train and stairs with gaps in. Spiral staircases too. At my local zoo they have spiral stairs with gaps in to get a better look at the lions, I have to send my DD up on her own if she wants to look.

Seagazer Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Maggots except I suppose they are not really innocuous. Me too on this one, if they appear in the brown wheelie bin they make me Had boating holiday last week. YS and hubby bought some maggots to fish with. Hubby decided to catapult them into the water to attract the fish. I was sitting near him and he didn't do it right - they all splattered over my feet. I'm sure I could be heard screaming for miles Wet wood that needs to be dried up ie mixing spoons, spatulas etc. Sets my teeth on edge just thinking about it.

Tutti Frutti Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Pips in raisins or sultanas. usually found when munching a cookie I go through my raisins one by one to remove them before I bake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I really don't like toe nails. When I was doing my surgery rotation, I simply couldn't do any toe nail operations, or drill toe nails to release blood clots underneath them. I could manage all other sorts of blood and gore, but not toe nails! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Not keen on frogs either - especially when they hide in the long grass, I'm mowing the lawn and don't see them until it's too late Apologies if that's too much information! Oh dear, that happened to me for the first time last week, I'm still feeling awful about it, not sure if the frog got mangled or not, can't bring myself to look, but I could be a frog murderer, how awful is that?

The Dogmother Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Liz, if you don't like gaps, then just don't go on the London Eye - you have to step over the gap and onto a MOVING 'pod' I have no head for heights - odd really as it's so irrational and I'm really not that sort of person. It has got worse as I have got older too, and nowadays I get dizzy just wearing thick socks. I can look outwards form a height, but not down, and have to hold on tight.

rabbitfluff Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hairy fruit. Just the thought of biting in to a peach makes everything clench. Similarly vegetables that squeak when you eat them like runner beans. Cleaning sponges, or just sponges really. It's the feel of them and also the fear they might make a sqeaking noise against a glass or something! Hazel Blears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Liz, if you don't like gaps, then just don't go on the London Eye - you have to step over the gap and onto a MOVING 'pod' Oh dear I have always quite fancied a trip on the London Eye, fortunately most of my family would refuse too. Hairy fruit. Just the thought of biting in to a peach makes everything clench. Similarly vegetables that squeak when you eat them like runner beans. I don't mind the veg, but peaches and conference pears, I am cringing just thinking about touching them, love to eat them but they have to be peeled.

chickenanne Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ooh, I hate heights too, but it goes beyond queasiness and into gibbering terror for me! And I'm funny about escalators, too.....

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Everything. I've still got morning sickness at week 29 of pregnancy. But especially coffee. I LOVED coffee, but now it is my pet hate smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 'Angel' perfume - I can't stand the smell and it makes me feel really queasy. Unfortunately some of my clients insist on wearing it and it's very difficult to look after them! The smell of hyacinth does the same thing. I once had a woman in labour who'd brought a pot plant in to cheer up the hospital room. Great idea but I had to ask her if I could put it outside the door - she was a bit put out until I explained it was either that or she'd have a vomiting midwife!

Old Speckled Hen Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I can't stand the feel of a wooden lolly stick between my teeth.
