What ordinary thing gives you the Ick...?

Yes! And those super-long fake eyelashes that look totally . . . fake.

I have to add, too, those super-long fingernails. I assume none of the women with those wear contact lenses, or ever have to tie a shoelace, or do a lot of other things.

KSav: What about trips to the bathroom? One can get a nasty injury if it's jabbed into the wrong place.

The following behaviors don't bother me, I just find them interesting and mostly baffling.

Super-long painted red nails, they look like blood-soaked claws --predator's claws. I don't understand what is attractive or sophisticated about that.

Deliberately displaying the cleavage of humongous breasts, not to say udders is the behavior of what? An exhibitionist? Or she's just looking for a mate? Surely she's not trying to look like a cow.

Blown up lips seem to tell the world, "I'm all about sex, come on over, everybody". No? Am I wrong?

The display of cultural decorations like tatoos, Indian beads, etc also seem to me to be displaying too much information to be safe. Don't we show enough without trying?

Isn't denial of aging by assorted behaviors a fruitless pursuit and a waste of time?

Anyway, I don't know.
EDIT: .. and it's none of my business.

Ketchup. I work in a nursing home. Some people put ketchup on their eggs. Disgusting! I just put salt and pepper on mine. That's how we always did it in my family. My older sister puts the ketchup on her fries. Ugh! I just put salt on mine.

I use to put ketsup on scrambled eggs as a kid..my father hated the site and would stick cereal box between us so he did not have to see. Grown I found out it brought memories of the war,,enough said. Never since childhood have I ate them that way..

My kids did the same thing!!! My dad came to visit us and I splurged on shrimp cocktail and filet mignon, and they asked for ketchup. :oops:

What really, really, really gets on my tyt, is radio presenters interupting and not allowing callers to the staion to finish what they want to say. They are so full of themselves and want to 'overtalk' the callers and then cut them off. :(

I stopped listening to the radio decades ago. Can't stand the sound of people who like the sound of their own voices ranting on about nothing.
 
I tell you i could never be a nurse or an emergency responder or indeed a vetinary surgeon .... I saw a Wood pigeon a few years ago in Spain which had been attacked and it's back end was ripped to pieces and it still was walking around..I nearly threw up seeing it ... and it still haunts me today.... even writing abut it makes me feel ill

There is a way to turn that off by pressing a number button. Look it up in your manual. I can't do it with mine - but with others, you can. Sorry, don't want to derail this thread. Let's get back to the "ick".

People (strangers /workmen) coming into my home reeking of alcohol. as the tiler did yesterday afternoon.

I told his boss today... I didn't want him identified .. so I said that there is one of the workmen who ..blah..blah.... and I found it completely unacceptable.. and he knew who I was talking about because he made a gesture toward the tiler who was back working this morning ...... I just said , I'm not naming names, but I'm not disagreeing with you...
 
People that chew tobacco give me the "icks". I know they think it's less offensive than smoking but it's just as bad.

Last week at the gym, guy walks over and spits his chew into the trash can, takes a sip of water and proceeds to brush his teeth with his finger, takes another sip, swishes it around his mouth and spits it out in the trash can. So after that everything he touched with his brushing finger got his spit juice on it. That's one of the reason I wipe every handle at the gym before I use it.

I have also saw....at a house warming party the new owner in the kitchen preparing food walking over and spitting his juice in the sink several times, than turning on the water for a splash like that washed it down. I did not eat anything.

At a cook out the guy manning the grill spitting his juice into the grill as he was cooking. Again I did not eat.

Buying carpet the owner came to talk with me and his mouth was so full of chew I couldn't understand him. I told him I would never deal with such an unprofessional and I walked out.

When we had a business we passed a no smoking policy, but my partner decided chewing would be OK. I had to stop it almost immediatly because these guys were sticking there fingers in their mouths and then touching things that others used, also dumping their spit bottles in the trash which would then leak, or walking by the wash sink and spitting into it.

Such a nasty habit.
