What gives you the ick? Light hearted.

Jewellery being pronounced as joolery. It seems a whole load of people just can't say it!

Burglarized - the Americans usually remove a letter bug in this case they've made the word burgled longer. 🤣 It still gets to me, though.

People chewing with their mouths open, unless there's a medical reason for it in which case they're exempt!

Talking with food in their mouths.

That sort of velvety wool EEEEEEEEK, NOPE!! It looks so soft and nice, but it doesn't feel right.

People chewing gum.....it does make me heave.

My example is from many years ago when I fancied one of the compositors like mad, then one day I saw that he wore white socks 😱. That’s the ick

I'm like that with wooden utensils, stirrers and lolly sticks.
I use the wrapper to hold the stick on ice lollies. My family do the stirring for me or I use a serviette to hold them.
I seem to be ok with varnished wooden handles, but not with raw wood. It just gives me a horrible feeling!

That’s exactly how it is with me, Ali08.
