What ordinary thing gives you the Ick...?

[hollydolly]

I like watching True Crime videos on Youtube and the women who do makeup tutorials while they talk about someone being stabbed give me the ick. Not sure this could be considered "ordinary" but here you go.

Oh I've never seen that, Thank God !

I had to look this up. Never knew there was a name for it or that some do it intentionally, but I'm not on Tik Tok, don't watch influencers, and only go on YouTube for some music videos, an occasional interview, or very specific how-to instructions.

Same here on all three counts, @StarSong.

That example of vocal fry—a term I hadn't heard before—reminded me of the film The Grudge. My ex used to tease my by mimicking that sound after we saw it.

Blue hair as well... and or old people who dye their hair a horrible shade of fake orange/bugundy....

Blue/pink hair looks like cotton candy. Then people who smack while eating. Yuck!

 

[DebraMae]

Bathroom jokes.

Older people who dress like they are much younger also give me the ick. We were at the mall last week and there was a woman who had to at least be in her 50s who was dressed like she was Gen Z. Granted, she was very fit and well put together but I told hubby she was probably sad Forever 21 closed. She could have been striking in the right clothing. Instead, she just looked sad.

This...these horrible cloth /felt/type shorts on men..and socks with trainers

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 put ketchup on my steak and pork chops. It drives my cousin nuts! It's just something I carried over from childhood.

Vomit nauseates me, even my own. I worked in the medical field for 50+ years, and vomit still gets to me. I dealt with it because it was necessary, but it still is icky to me.

Nose rings, lip piercings, eyebrow piercings, multiple ear piercings... Why do people mutilate their bodies like that?

I also don't like sushi. It makes me gag. Raw fish? No thanks!

I don't like sushi or raw fish or cooked fish.

Once, my husband was driving and hit a curb which flattened two tires. We called a tow truck. Husband got out of car and walked away down the sidewalk, and fell.

Two young people on a motorcycle stopped. They were covered in tats and piercings and had odd looking hair. That kind of stuff really bothered my husband. They picked him up, made sure he was okay, brought him back to me, received my profuse thanks, and left.

And that isn't odd to me. I've met plenty of people with tats, piercings, odd haircuts, odd hair color, etc. So far they have all been perfectly lovely people - just like anyone else.

Vaping clouds.

 

[jujube]

The smell of hot tar. Can't stand it.

 

[KSav]

Spitting. Ugh. In my area chewing tobacco (e.g., Skoal) is common. Some of the men, including high school students, use a cup to spit in. I suppose that's better than just spitting on the ground, but I find it so disgusting.

 

[TeePee]

The smell of hot tar. Can't stand it.

Oh I love smelling fresh hot tar. It might be from the petroleum in the asphalt.

 

[Lilac]

The smell of fish, fresh or cooked, it doesn't matter. I turn nauseous & have to leave the area.

Nothing worse than going to a nice restaurant & someone at a neighboring table has ordered smelly fish for dinner. I remember holding my breath & moving very fast past the fish markets along the North Sea in Germany because of the stench.

 

[Jazzy1]

Mayonnaise left on a plate that’s gone clear and jelly-like.

 

[jim_slim]

Tattoos….

 

[Raven]

People crowding in close in a line up at shops, sometimes they are so close I can feel them breathing on me.

 

[CallMeKate]

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.

Oh my... you and I wouldn't get along at *all* at a table. I put ketchup on fried eggs *and* fries.

 

[QuietByNature]

There isn't much that makes me go ick.
People smoking would be one, it has been about 30 years since I smoked and can't stand the smell of it.

 

[Paladin1950]

Tattoos. I have always hated them. Especially on women who have them all over their bodies. I work with a woman that has them everywhere except for her head. I would never want to go through life with ink all over my body.

 

[Tommy]

The odor of lamb cooking.

 

[AnneTeak]

pumpkin pie

grown men who wear a baseball cap backwards, and then shield their eyes to the sun.

 

[MountainRa]

I can’t abide the smell of a skunk or the smell of gasoline.
Or cigarette smoke.

i hate commercials that show close ups of people making exaggerated faces over their food.

i’m grossed out by people sticking their tongue out to be cute. And by women making duck lip poses.

 

[BJintheUK]

The smell of celery
The smell of cinammon
The smell of blancmange
The smell of custard

All of these make me heave and/or vomit

 

[BJintheUK]

The feel of ribbon makes my teeth go on edge
The sound of chalk or a fingernail on a blackboard does the same thing
