Do you have a sound something makes or how something feels that gives you the creeps?

[texas1928]

I hate the sound a cardboard box makes when the edges scrap together. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

I had a friend that could not stand the feeling of cottonballs. He even could not take the cotton out of medicine bottles it creeped him out so much.


But the sound of cardboard scrapping together just makes my skin crawl.

[crim son]

1. Yes. Sucking on a wooden popsicle stick is a horrible thing.

I also hate firecrackers.

[texas1928]

3. I used to chew toothpicks.

but I knew someone who freaked out everytime a balloon popped.

[grace0418]

2. I get *SUPER* grossed out when I take ice cubes out of the freezer and they stick

to my skin (like if my hands are wet or something). *shudder* It gives me the willies.

[texas1928]

6. Well never like a cold light pole.

:shudder:


I can see where that could bother some people. I find it kind of cool.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. I'll list my top ones because a lot of stuff bothers me...

:D

The sound of someone brushing their teeth.

I cannot stand the feel of netting nor the sound it makes when you rub it together.

Actually, I'm saner that I thought; those are the only ones I can think of. :hi:

[crim son]

5. Nah, you're a freak!

:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Takes one to...

well, you know. ;) :hi:

[texas1928]

9. So it must be double worse when you brush your teeth.

Or do you not brush your teeth?

:P


You should see me when we move. After about the 5th box I have to go outside for a minute.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Funny thing is my own tooth brushing has no affect on me. It's when

someone else does. I have to run to the other side of the house every morning when the kids are brushing. Bleh. I'm getting all chillish thinking of it.

[mainegreen]

7. Wool rubbed on velvet. Mere exposure to that noise makes me want to destroy.

It's bizarre. If I was exposed to it for an hour I honestly think I would loose my sanity. I have no idea how that noise affects me so much.

[texas1928]

10. I have never heard that noise.

But I am with you on over exposure to the sound.

[VenusRising]

8. Slugs.

I was cleaning out my starter pots last year for my basil, and a slug had crawled under the lip of the pot. I didn't know and grabbed it, and the slug was stuck to me. It makes me cringe and shudder just thinking about that god-awful sticky goo that you just can't wash off.

[suninvited]

15. Cotton against cotton...

if you are in the same room as I am and you are wearing cotton socks...rub your feet together and see me run screeching from the room !

[texas1928]

17. Will remember that.

Oh and Welcome to DU

:hi:

[suninvited]

55. Thank you very much!!

It's not easy being noob...

[texas1928]

16. Slugs are fun.

Get some salt, and go to town.

[VenusRising]

20. My backyard looks like an alien massacre

after I'm done out there. My husband laughs at me, but they eat on my basil plants, and I can't have that double whammy hanging over me.

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Chewing with mouth open, esp. gum; the sound of concete being cut by a high speed cutter

[texas1928]

18. Yeah that high pitch squeal it makes, I cringe at that.

[Scarlett17]

14. The feel of unglazed porcelain.

It's so dry and scratchy and yuck!

[texas1928]

19. Never felt that.

[Scarlett17]

26. You know sometimes a plate or a figurine is only glazed on the top. . .

and you pick it up and your fingers hit that scratchy surface on the bottom unexpectedly. Gross! Flooring tiles are like that on the bottom, too. And brand new baking stones. Alright, enough. I'm freaking myself out.

:freak:

[texas1928]

29. Oh OK.

I know what you mean now. I thought maybe they made toilets like that so you did not slide off or something.

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

21. People clearing their throat to scratch their ears.

Also, the sound of someone grinding their teeth when sleeping.

[texas1928]

23. Well then you would not like me.

I do that in my sleep. When I am tense or stressed out, I grind my teeth. It is not good, I have damage some of my molars doing it.

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

30. But it's worse when it is

a one year old who only has 8 teeth in the front. He even does it when he is awake!

[Richard Steele]

22. Sometimes, touching rough paper makes my skin crawl. Popsicle sticks are pretty bad, too.

[texas1928]

25. Sometimes rough paper does that to me.

I just don't get the popsicle sticks though. :shrug:

[u4ic]

24. People who breathe very heavily

(I'm excluding those who are exerting themselves and those with oxygen tanks) ;)


Styrofoam. x(


The sound of someone barfing. :scared: :nuke: :puke:

[texas1928]

28. Well I can not hear someone gag.

I start gagging myself. But I also can not handle dirty diapers. I have to go barf everytime. Kids with boogers hanging out their noses, OH GOD.

[u4ic]

33. Ugh...

what's odd is I rode horses most of my life, and had to shovel horse crap. Not pleasant, but easier to deal with than diapers...(thankfully it was only in an auntie role)

Yes, yes! to the latter. x(

[texas1928]

35. I have worked with horses, cattle, sheep you name it.

I have done things that would gross out a lot of people, but it does not bother me. But you get someone gagging, a dirty diaper, or snot, and I am gone.

[unpossibles]

27. those wooden spoons that came with Malt-O-Cups

or whatever those things were called, the frozen milkshake-esque thing that had the flat little wooden spoon.

It seriously gives me chills when I just think about it.

[texas1928]

31. so popsicle sticks do it to you too?

that would be about the same thing.

[unpossibles]

40. yeah, but I never put my tongue on Popsicle sticks

or try not to. I use my teeth, whereas the "spoon" - and at best calling that thing a "spoon" is like calling a medieval rack a barcolounger - is hard to use without it contacting soft mouth-flesh.

<shudder>

[graywarrior]

32. Fuck this THREAD, dudes. Jesus, my teeth hurt after reading the first two posts.

DAMN YOUSE ALL TO HELL! Why did I come here.....
:spank:

[texas1928]

34. Humans love to be grossed out.

That is why we look at car wrecks as we pass.

[Drum]

36. #1: that styrofoam cooler squeaking sound...

ugh!

[texas1928]

38. I can see that...

It can be annoying some times.

[PassingFair]

54. 2nd on the styrofoam.

Makes me want to kill, kill, kill!

Screechy, screechy, screechy:

[ironflange]

37. People chewing on ice

That's about the only thing that bugs me. Strange thing is, if someone does it just to bother me, I don't mind it. It has to be unintentional.

[texas1928]

39. Well, I don't chew ice so don't worry.

I am not sexually frustrated.

[Javaman]

41. About two weeks ago...

My wife and I were getting ready for bed. I go into the study to turn off my computer and from outside I hear what sounds like a woman moaning in pain. Goose bumps right up the back.

So I open up the front door and lo and behold a frigging cat in heat moaning.

"get out of here you dumb bastard!" I yelled.

Frigging thing scared the living shit out of me. LOL

[texas1928]

49. You should hear a mountain lion scream in the dark.

Now that will raise the hair on every part of your body.

[ganeshji]

42. scratching a seatbelt

I have to grab it by the metal part or I wouldn't wear one. I hate the sound it makes too.

[texas1928]

48. I hate being a passenger in a car.

The seatbelt on the passenger side always feels like it is going to cut my head off.

[ceile]

43. My grandmother couldn't pet cats.

She grew up a farm and she was always afraid she was going to crush the baby chicks when she held them. She said cat fur was too soft-reminded her of the chicks.

[texas1928]

47. Never thought of baby chicks feeling like a cat.

But hey, I was not much of a chicken farmer. We just had to keep the chickens out of the horse pens.

[Critters2]

44. Nothing currently, but when I was in clinical I had to observe surgeries

once in a while, and the sound of the rib-spreader was just more than I could bear. Others said it didn't really make a sound, but I heard it and it made my skin crawl!!

[texas1928]

45. Trust me... Rib spreaders.

They make you hurt. I know from experience.

[Critters2]

46. I can only imagine

and hope that's all I can ever do. THAT has GOT to hurt!!

[texas1928]

50. Could not take a really deep breath for a few days.

I was one sore puppy.

[izzybeans]

51. I'm with you on the cardboard thing. There is something about that sound

[texas1928]

52. Just that SSSSSSSSSCRAP

just makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

[izzybeans]

53. Exactly!

[racaulk]

56. People that make smacking noises while eating because they can't chew with their mouths closed!

Serious pet peeve of mine. Gross!!! :puke:

[qwertyMike]

57. Scratching fingers

on a blackboard (Do they still have blackboards anymore?)

Chewing aliminum between your teeth (Why would anyone do that?)

Jerry Falwell

[LiberalHeart]

58. Alarm clocks, the buzzer at basketball games, and the texture of pinto beans

[ploppy]

59. I want to

plug my ears when I hear someone whistling. Especially when they get all fancy and start with the staccato. EEW.:crazy:

[Redstone]

60. Oh, Christ, yes. Anytime anyone scrapes a fork against their teeth, I cringe, then

inform them that if they do it again, they'll need a surgeon to remove that fork from their gullet.

I REALLY hat that sound.

Redstone

[SoCalDemGrrl]

61. George Bush's voice just makes my skin crawl EEWWW!!

[grannylib]

62. I can't take thick stuff like cough syrup or milk of magnesia or even applesauce

sometimes - makes me totally gag. I don't have trouble with soup or pudding or shakes, oddly...just some stuff.

My son in law has the cotton-ball thing; it really creeps him. The kids made cotton ball snowmen in school one year, and he couldn't even keep them in the house, they freaked him out so much, so he made the kids give them to me for Christmas *lol*

[Manifestor_of_Light]

63. Alarm clocks.

Alarm clocks that wake me up suddenly. They scare me, make my heart race and blood pressure go up.
I've been freaked out a few times by them, but they always startle me. Phones ringing can do the same thing, at least when I had a job. I would literally jump when I heard a phone at work (it was a shitty standing up job, sales, gave me edema something awful! )

That's a really good reason to be a bum!!!
