Material in my mouth makes me shudde when someone breaks of a sewing thread in their mouth. My daughter cant cope with labels especially on fruit.

tomato pips !!
I can eat tomatoes, but if they squash and the 'core' comes out then I can't touch it grin

Can't stand the feel of chenille....when they were in fashion a few years ago my DGC's had them and I couldn't give them a hug! Makes me shiver just thinking about it. I hate 'Frosty the Snowman' too.....it was played all the time from October until January where I worked, nearly drove me crazy. confused

The feel of flour on my hands.

When my younger sister was 3 she came home from nursery with a bag with a few jam tarts. My 5 year old self wanted to make some and my mother prepared the ingredients but the moment I put my hands in the bowl to rub the flour and fat together. I pulled them out immediately saying I didnt like the feel of the flour on my hands - and I've never changed my mind. In this household pastry is made by my daughter or in the mixer.

Greensleeves - I have a deep and illogical aversion to this tune.

I cannot abide being near anyone who eats with their mouth open and 'chams' on their food, yuck.

I cannot stand the noise nor the sight, makes me want to urge.

Hi Littlenellie!!! When I read that you had a great dislike of Dog Ends, thought that you meant dog's bums, perhaps you don't like them either!!!!!
grin

Littlenellie Sun 12-Aug-12 09:37:44

Dog ends,make me shudder even thinking about it if we go out for a picnic,sitting on a park bench,walking on beach ,pavements etc,if there are dog ends strewn about,as there usually is I cannot bear it,and if I accidentally tread on one,or have to look at them...spoils any outing for me ugh filthy things..

I have a friend who is afraid of buttons - afraid is her word. She won't wear clothes with any on.

Ariadne Sun 12-Aug-12 06:23:52

DH - buttons. OK if they are attached to something, but free range buttons make him shudder. Odd or what?

Polystyrene in any shape or form...

What's you strange dislike? My friend can't stand the feel of wooden lolly sticks on her tongue so sticks to ice cream cornets! My sis cant bear to touch velvet - makes her feel queasy.I can't bear the touch of that paper they make raffle tickets out of.I don't know why but handling them makes me shudder. When I was younger bus tickets were made out of a similar paper and I hated touching them too. An other friend of mine doesn't like the feel of cotton wool.What we like!
