What are some things that disgust you irrationally?

Eating sounds.

I could strangle a person who eats like a pig...

52
- Just any sounds of eating. Especially on a scripted show or movie, because that's a choice that sound engineers made. A choice to be obnoxious.
  
  21
- I can kinda bear chewing noises from Mukbangs but i recently stumbled over one that had such insane chewing noises that i got mad over it. Turns out i do have a limit for chewing noises after all.
  
  The video i saw sounded like someone fed the sarlacc monster with a gallon of slime and a gallon of cornflakes. It's like they made foleys of the monster from Alien eating a human and needed to find another video to use this on.

- When I'm in a discord channel and hear someone begin eating because they're on voice activated..
  
  Or they're talking while also eating..
  
  I feel the urge to strangle through my computer screen.
  
  3
- My family gets mad when I don't want to have meals with them but this is why and it kills my appetite too so I have to also explain why I'm not hungry

@tictac2 as someone with sensitive teeth, seeing anyone take a BITE out of their ice cream instead of licking it. 🙈
@maksymize

27
- For me it's hearing someone bite an apple.

  @spittingimage interesting! I find that 'snick' sound actually satisfying lol
  
  6
- I can happily crunch on ice cubes. I still do lick soft serve ice-cream though because that's just how it should be.

Autotune.

27
- most ridiculous thing in the music industry ever. there's just NO proper use case for autotune.
  
  so much so, there's only one song that I think utilized autotune in a somewhat OK way, and it's a flippin' track from Sims 2's Pop radio station

  Lonely Island's I'm on a Boat gets a pass too.

  It was fun when Cher did it, twenty three years ago.
  
  Now it just serves to enable people who can't sing to save their lives (but look good while doing it).

Wet or soggy bread. No idea why.

25
- Gavin?

  Why was that my first thought too lol
  
  3
- I love dipping bread into water. Yum.

The smell and taste of beer.

I will never understand why people all around the world like it.

18
- Personally, I like it for the smell and taste. But also the mouthfeel.

Wet bathroom and toilet floors

16
- And stepping onto said wet floors with socks on…

  OP said irrationally disgust
  
  10
  
  Pantyhose is even worse!
  
  4
- Public restrooms.
  
  4
- You'd hate a lot of bathrooms in Asia, the majority of them are wet baths.

Mustard touching cheese. I want both on every sandwich, but they cannot touch.

16
- Do they not touch in your mouth?
  
  4
  
  Everything touches in my mouth. I don't like when they touch on the sandwich.
  
  Remember that I put this forward as something I know is irrational.
  
  9
- But mustard and cheese sandwiches are some of my favorite
  
  4
- Is this purely visual? I mean would you be able to taste them touching or not?
  
  Would you accept sandwich containing both cheese and mustard and eating it unseen, or would you have to check for touching?
  
  I mean your affliction is interesting and so particular that I kind of want to know a bit more. When did you aquire this aversion?
  
  3
  
  It's conceptual. I don't like to think about them touching.
  
  7
- Sometimes I'll just take a slice a cheese put some mustard on it, maybe a couple sweet pickle chips if I'm feelin' adventurous.

Trypophobia, something about those kinds of holes... *shudder*

14
Toothpaste that foams too much. Which is most toothpaste.

13
- Do you wet your toothbrush first, or just use it dry? I don't like how much toothpaste foams up when I wet it first, but using it dry is fine (for me, anyway)
  
  1
  
  I hadn't even considered that. I usually wet it first. I'll try not doing that and see if i have a better experience.

Kraft Parmesean Cheese. I can't stant even thinking about it. I've never smelled a dead body but I'm assuming that's what it smells like

11
Any unexpected texture when I eat chicken. I literally only eat white meat because I can’t stand anything chewy, hard, stringy, etc when I chew.

10
I hate actual corn, not stuff made from corn

Soap.

Gotta rinse that shit aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll the way off. You don't want dish soap from your dish in your food. And you don't want to leave any soap on your skin. So you rinse and rinse and rinse. Think you got it all off? Better rinse again just to make sure. Rub your fingers together. Does it still feel slicker than it did before you washed your hands? Better rinse some more.

9
- This means you have soft water. Hard water washes away the soap immediately
  
  3
- Can relate. Even worse when someone's food tastes soapy. I've taken to rinsing my family's dishes for them if we're cooking together.

  @WetAndFlummoxed @TootSweet drives me nuts at self serve places when you take a glass, put it under the water dispenser, then see bubbles still floating around after the cup is full. Tap water bubbles last like less than half a second. If I see what I think could be soap bubbles, I dump, rinse, repeat til no more bubbles.

Mayo or other similar foods, mouth noises, and animals without extremities.

Not disgusting, but just irritate me - whistling (unless at an event where noise is the goal), forrest Gump, and when people describe themselves as bougie.

9
- Animals without extremities. That's very specific. Snakes, worms, fish, that sort of thing?
  
  3
  
  I don't mind fish so much because of the fins. Those others though...freaks me out how they move, especially eels.

Roasted or fried chicken. Something about the strong smell just whips my brain into anger and disgust. I can't think, talk or smile once I smell it. Especially in a enclosed space.

9
Mouth breathers, but only when you can hear the airflow.

sibilance

Picking your nose with your thumb. It’s still picking your nose!

8
- Ok, this is anonymous so I'll bite. Do you seriously never pick your nose? Even when you're alone? If so how do you deal with dry boogers if the humidity is low?
  
  3
  
  @foggenbooty @Toto be brave! And honest ... Everyone who picks their nose raise your hand
  
  🙋‍♀️
  
  4
  
  Should have clarified: in public. Trains, stop lights etc. nose picking is fine in private. Don’t want to see you rolling that booger

Slime, shit is just gross to look at and touch

6
The sound of nails being clipped or bitten.

6
- Doubly so if it’s on public transportation. Ran into it the other day but was too chicken to call them out.
  
  So very, very gross.
  
  2
I will literally throw a tantrum if anyone watches those afternoon telenovelas in front of me. I will mock them, their parents and ancestors for such a disgrace.

6
- This, but reality tv. Especially auditions with sob stories and the "you are incredibly brave" fake tear BS.
  
  2
Can't stand coffee, the smell and the taste, even with cream and sugar

5
The polyamarous

5
- I am Polyamorous (have been for 25 years) and I am curious what is disgusting to you about it?
  
  8
  
  Not OO, but probably that polyamorous people don't know what irrationally means.
  
  10
Furries

5
- Why? They aren't doing anything bad. Not a furry myself, but I respect their things.
  
  5
- Yeah same, I try to keep an open mind and be kind. And I used to even be a briny myself, but something about ferries just triggers a pure disgust reaction in me.

Hearing someone tell me about their dream

If I'm not in it and nobody's having sex, I don't give a shit. It's your brain throwing out random nonsense and has no bearing on anything in reality. Keep it to yourself.

4
- Wooden teeth.

The smell of cow manure. It’s all the rage here even though it’s not that isolated/non-urban here. I can actually feel a sharpness/roughness in the smell.

Lychees

The smell of Greek Yogurt

Fabric rubbing against my teeth. I can give myself instant goosebumbs by biting my T-shirt.

School bathrooms

White sauce GAHHHHHH

“Anyways”

The sound of styrofoam rubbing together. Something about that specific frequency revolts me.
