Weird things you don't like

CatHerder's response to this:

I'll never be too old to enjoy
that quick-sand sinking feeling that is found at the beach,
when the water rolls in and takes the sand from underneath the feet.

That feeling totally creeps me out.
getting heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

Inspired this thread. Maybe we'll find that some of our odd dislikes aren't so odd after all.

What are some things that you don't like/creep you out that are "different"? Not the universal "spiders", "snakes", or "creepy people", but...

For example, here are some of mine:

- Tree roots underwater, especially when I'm swimming. They just look so dark and creepy, and if you touch them they're all slimy and cold and make me flail if I get anywhere close to them. I was trying to find a picture to put here but just looking at them all on Google made me shiver a bit.
- I hate the sound of a metal spoon scraping against a metal mixing bowl. If I'm stirring something in the mixer, I'll get the batter out with a rubber spatula, never a spoon.
- Animal face pictures that have been photoshopped to have human smiles and eyes. Something about it just...unsettles me.

*Rule* You can't post pictures of someone else's nerve-wracker. If that person wants to post their own example, fine, but I don't want anybody bombarding this thread with pictures of humanized animals.

-When I am swimming in a pool alone, I avoid the deep end so the [imagined] sharks don't get me. Seriously, it scares the crap out of me. How weird is it that I can go swimming in the Amazon River, but pools scare me?

-I don't like mayo, yogurt, milk (ew, cow juice), or other thick, creamy dairy because it makes me gag. Cheese, ice cream, and whipped cream are the exception. I can handle sour cream or cream cheese only if they are well-blended into much stronger flavors.

-Double spaces between sentences are just wrong. It's a relic left over from the era of the typewriter. No reputable style manual has supported that in a very long time so get with the program already, y'all.

The way you feel about sour cream and cream cheese is the way I feel about mayo...I don't mind a bit of it in my potato salad but it has to have alot of spices in it. But spread on a sandwich or on fries? Nasty!!!!

Oh this is so funny... I tried to double space between sentences to double-annoy you. But when I posted it, the doubles had all been turned into singles.

I've actually lost the freedom to double space...

I inspired another thread! I feel so...inspirational!



Baby in flower pot photography creeps me out.

I'm going to try... Okay here goes. Dang it. I just can't do it. I mean, I want to. But. I can't........ Stoopid fingers!

My attorneys have a death-grip on it too. So when I proof their documents, I do a search for all double spaces and replace them with singles. It makes me feel sneaky, yet powerful. [insert evil laugh here.]

Double spaces in between sentences were invented by engineering students when they are forced to write papers with length requirements. The typewrite story is a myth. haha

Argh, adekruif is here... I should have picked on him instead.

the sound of aerosols being sprayed out of the can kinda freak me out and unsettle me..not sure why, maybe it sounds like a snake hissing?

On the rare occasions when I am on my best behavior, somebody has to pick up the slack. 0_o


In contribution to the question posed by the OP, I hate bananas. I don't eat them, I don't even like the smell of bananas.

+ fork/flatware noise. like, scraping plate fork noise. i had a coworker who used to bite their fork when he was eating. listening to that for long could push me dangerously close to violence.

+ food touching on my plate. i have strict, narrow rules about which foods can touch. i'm a purist and don't like many casseroles , especially when they try to put vegetables into dishes that they don't belong in, such as tuna casserole. you couldn't pay me to eat that awful green bean mushroom soup casserole that everyone makes around thanksgiving. ewwwwww.

a guy pal of mine eats breakfast with all of the stuff mixed together with a squirt of ketchup. i have to be careful not to focus too much on it, otherwise it'd make me nauseous.

+sandboxes. they just look like large cat litter boxes to me and i won't go near them (unless they've been covered).

+bright lighting in the house. i use my sliders quite liberally and hate being in bright (or rather, bright to me artificial) light. a lot of people accuse me of working in the dark, which is kind of true. sometime i forget to turn the lights on at all.

+my tv, or computer, smartphone (or a screen of any kind) being dirty. i can't stand it when the screen isn't perfectly clean.

edited to add:

+the non-double-space-agenda. i like white space. : )

when i was a little kid, i was a good swimmer, but i didn't like anyone swimming too close to me. my brother (who didn't swim) would attempt to use me as a floatation device and i would end up swallowing a bunch of water.

somehow, that transferred to "don't even come close to me, people"...

I really don't like in the Summer when it rains & the rain itself is warm. I find it gross as well as annoying.

I don't like Malls,or Amusement Parks...or places with just a ridiculous amount of assorted,loud,random people.
After like 20 mins,I can't handle it.

I don't like Nascar. I always manage to encounter people who love it & find me either crazy or a communist for not.
(add Baseball,and most other "sports" to the list as well...with the exception of Football & Basketball,both of which I'm not obsessed with,but can enjoy in moderation)

I don't like hunting unless you are using the animal for food. Period.
(I dunno if that counts as weird,but yeah...I think hunting for sport is pure ignorance.)

I despise white chocolate. One word...WHY?

I don't like seeing people in public places wearing pajamas and/or bedroom slippers.
Is it really that difficult to put a pair of pants on?
I liken it to people who eat out but either don't bring enough to tip their server or don't see a need to. If you can't tip the waiter or waitress,stay home...you shouldn't be going out to eat. Same goes for PJ's in public. If you don't own or want to put on a pair of jeans,then keep yer' lazy buns @ home.
I don't have any desire to see what you've slept in tyvm!

Chewing on ice cubes. Drives me nuts
finger nails on a chalk board makes me extremely thirsty.
Young mens pants half way down the crack of thier butt.
People all sitting around on thier smart phones rather than having conversation.
