What smell/taste/texture do you hate the most?

Post Reply New Topic

Being "an old lady" as you put it, or an "elder" as I put it, I am offended by your "smelly" comment. It is an 'ageist" remark and unfounded. It is a myth that old people smell bad. Any one who does not practice good hygiene will smell bad. Young or old. If you want to help build a better future for yourself, start now by eliminating false beliefs. Perhaps your mother-in-law does have a bad odor. And yes, when I was young and didn't know any better, I would have LMAO at your comment. But it's not true and I'm only replying in this manner in your best interest. You will be old someday and I hope you will find that you still smell like a rose, or a Petunia, if you prefer. I would say the same thing to any of my 4 daughters, or 7 granddaughters, although they know me very well and could attest that I smell just fine.

Some articles you young folk might find interesting:

The armpit smells of old ladies are the latest mood-enhancing substances to be uncovered by scientists - but they warn that those of young men may have the reverse effect.

YES!

Smells: Coffee, tobacco, and perfumes make my eyes burn.

Touch: Anything that is slightly rough. Some t-shirts even bother me. I have to have everything loose.

Sounds: It's more of a quantity thing for me. Too much can become overwhelming. It is very hard living in a house with one person who screams at everybody else constantly, two others who fight all the time, and another who cries a lot. Well, at least she's a baby. I found my iPod to be the most important invention in the past 100 years, 'cause now I can drown out all of the other stuff and choose what sounds I hear.

Smells! Perfume and incense and airfreshener makes me sick. The smell of hot tar actually causes me to have a simple partial or a complex partial seizure!!

Sounds: shrieking, scraping.

Touch: everything. I just want to wear my pajamas all the time! I can't even concentrate if my clothes are at all tight, or rough, or weird synthetic fabric. I'm shuddering thinking about this stuff.

Smells I dislike:
Eggs being cooked in any way, cat food(jelly meat), rubber, paint.

Tastes I dislike:
Anything spicey, spinach, butter, olives, tomato sauce.

Textures I dislike:
Melted cheese, woollen clothing, cakes of soap(I can only use liquid soap), chalk, anything slimey such as shellfish, dust.

I hate:
Smell: anything rotten.
Taste-texture: a mouthful of loose, mushy peas.
Taste: bitter, rubber, old multi-vitamins, aspirin.
Feel-texture: wet cotton (which is how it most-often feels to me - Because of that, I ONLY wear synthetics or wool).
Sound: Coffee beans being ground in a high-speed, electric grinder

sorry. I should have mentioned that my mother in law wears a perfume that when combined with her natural smell, smells awful. I'm sure you smell lovely.

There's no need to be mean

I truly HATE a sweet almond smell - it terribly irritates me, I always have a feeling that smell is something almost material what slides into my throat and stays there for a long time - even after several hours I still easy recall that smell and my mouth are full of a tart saliva.

Taste- Sour things like grapefruit (however i like orange juice which is interesting)
Textures- Sandpaper and nylon
Smells- Strong smells like Glue and espically polish! I also hate the smell of copper.

I really, really, dislike the smell of burning brake pads, that huge trucks create, especially when they go down steep grades.

It truly wasn't meant to be mean. Honest.

I don't like the smell of bird poop, nor the texture, but I love birds.

Textures I hate include mushrooms, cucumbers, and tomatoes. I loathe the smell of tobacco smoke (especially since it also gives my asthma a workout) and coffee.

On the other hand, I love "doggy smell". It smells like home

I don't like mushroom either, but it's because they're the reproductive organ of a fungus.

Sounds: A fork scratched against dishes. You know the 'screech.' *shudders*
Smells: Alcohol and Cigar smoke. (Only because I smelled it so strong for the first time at our Fair {for all I know there was probably drugs mixed into it as well} it was IWannaPuke bad.)
Textures: Corduroy rubbed the wrong way or any other one way fabric. Skin.
