What makes you go "Yuk!" ?

A dog licking someone's face.

You beat me to it Wheniwasyourage . Absolutely revolting IMO .

Cats walking on worktops! Presumably after scratching in their litter trays. Yuk!

Putting a plate down for a pet that you were eating from OMG! disgusting!

Agreed Wheniwasyourage, I can't stand to see it, especially when dogs lick a child's face.

I agree, who would allow a dog to lick their child's face? It's disgusting!

Totally agree Rosieroe. How do people allow this? It is beyond yucky ?

I once worked with someone who had 2 dogs. When she walked in the house, at the end of a working day, she used to immediately take her shoes and socks off and sit down with her legs outstretched. The 2 dogs would run to her and start licking her bare sweaty feet. I only witnessed it once and it made me feel so sick, I had to make my excuses and leave. makes me feel queasy thinking about it now

Many years ago I was working as a dentist's receptionist. Mrs Jones phoned to say she needed new dentures, I was a bit perplexed as I knew she had a new set quite recently.

I asked her why she needed a new set, she said the others had melted .

After a bit more questioning, she told me "I finished me tea, took me teeth out and gave them to the dog to lick, and he licked them into the fire"

Oh phoenix, thats more revolting than my experience. ?

phoenix

Phoenix that tops it how revolting!

A waiter or waitress lifting a glass from a tray by handling the rim of the glass where the recipient will drink. Hold it by the base of the glass, please!

I agree with all the above posts regarding dogs and cats and the Eastenders one, but in addition to all of those, I do a great big "yuk" when I watch some of those tv programmes that show you badly neglected homes that are heaving with rubbish and dirt, dead mice in kitchen drawers and filthy loos - yuk, yuk and double yuk!!

And that's a treble yuk from me, all those things!

My immune system is very poor, so have had to re-educate myself.
Pets or shopping bags on the worktops you prepare food.
Cake sales with all the goods uncovered at snotty child's breath height, (This was actually the chief suspect for sending me into hospital,) ditto supermarket samples.
Dishcloths,
Raw chicken leaking on check-out conveyor belts,
Bleurrrgggghhh!

Totally agree about the dogs and cats. How can you let cats walk on work surfaces, just think where they might have been. I also can't abide dog poo on a beach - or anywhere else, come to that. If I see a dog owner getting out their little plastic bag I avert my eyes. How can they do that? Mind you, that's much better than leaving the poo on the footpath or wherever I suppose. So long as they don't then hang it in a bush.

In the Australian soaps, they regularly take a carton of ice cream from the freezer, sit sharing it, 2 or 3 spoons going into it and into mouths, then when they`ve had enough, it goes back into the freezer for the next person. Yuck!

My cats come in through the kitchen window, and step on to a towel placed on the work top especially for that purpose. If they are in during the day when I am at work, I have no idea where their dainty little paws might have been.

Having said that, I don't prepare any food directly on the worktop, instead I have a variety of boards that are used for different things, i.e. veg, chicken, other meat etc.

Even so, I spray with Flash with Fairy and wipe down all the worktop every day, at least once and more often if Mr P has been cooking (he tends to splash when he stirs)

I think I operate a hygienic kitchen, no one has fallen ill to date.

Actually, does anyone actually prepare food directly on the kitchen work top? I don't think I ever have!

Dips with crudités - people who dip, take a bite then double-dip.
Yuk
Never touch them!

And all the above

callgirl I've had lots of meals in Australia and never seen anyone do that!
Yuk indeed!

None of those things make me particularly go 'yuk'. I don't do any of them, but its not a big deal to me. Oh, and I wouldn't like a dog licking my face but I wouldn't be tooo disgusted if one did. One that I knew, of course.

Dog poo makes me go yuk. In fact, it makes me retch, if I ever come into close ish contact with it.
