Name 5 things you hate which people consider to be unusual

Post Reply New Topic

Numerous people talking at the same time. I can't make out anything that any of them are saying.

People who have what I call "diarrhea of the mouth"... they're constantly jabbering away, not giving anyone else a chance to say anything.

People who have very strong opinions about things they don't understand, force you to listen to them (even though they know you don't want to hear it), and then insist that their opinions are always right.

Bullies and jerks who say and do everything they possibly can to hurt your feelings or make you angry, then when confronted about it later, they either deny it or say "I was just joking."

People who get angry about something that someone else said or did, won't confront the person they're upset with, and take out their frustrations on me.

1) Satin and wool clothing.
2) The smell of grease.
3) The sound of coughing.
4) The feel of lotion.
5) Emery boards.

Top 40
Women's clothing
High heels
Makeup
Purses

1. Mexican food
2. Hats
3. Sports
4. Talking on the phone
5. Parties

I can't help but notice that some things listed on some lists here are what the general population dislike aswell and what wouldn't be considered weird to not like....

1) Watching tv with other people...I like my tv time to be alone, I don't really understand the idea of it being a group activity.
2) Food being in my stomach, it's a horrid sensation.
3) Most forms of human contact especially physical contact...
4) Over use of phrases such as 'oh my god', 'LOL' and 'at the end of the day'.
5) Facebook, I don't have one anymore and don't want one. That does not make me a sociopath.
6) Noise.
7) Excessive swearing. My language isn't wonderful all the time but there does come a point when people swear so excessively that I suspect it's down to a severely limited vocabulary.

1 Hearing people chew or chewing with their mouth open.
2The feel of a chaulk board.
3 hugs hand shakes ect.
4 Shopping
5Anyone drinking from my bottle or glass.

People eating/slurping: This is one thing I totally despise hearing out of everything in the whole wide world! It's just that slimy feeling you get in your ears that tend to drive you up the wall it's horrible! And that crunching sound of teeth against crisps...EUGH... *shudders* O-O

Sound/feel of cardboard: The feeling of scratchy cardboard in your teeth...;__; it's just to UNBEARABLE!! ! *screams and runs off*

Someone touching my laptop: No one! NO ONE! Shouldn't EVER go on my laptop!! It has some very private stuff on there which I don't want anyone looking at, that includes my family and friends. Even though I really love them to bits I still won't be able to let them because of this...

Stuff I hate that other people (NTs) think is normal:

5 things plucked at random:

1. Fluorescent lights that you get in offices and supermarkets, the sort that you can't tone down, or shut off. Even worse are the ones that dont work properly and that hum or flash on and off. Doesn't this fry your brain? How do you operate with something like that going on - its as if it is screaming at me....

2. Having to take cornflour (dry) with a spoon out of a packet. Aaargh ! !! ! Horrible, feels nasty.

3. If a really dry bit of towel or cotton wool gets into contact with one of my nails.... I can hear that squeaky noise
its a bit like nails down a chalk board, its that bad..

4. Peoples' responses to me saying " I don't drink". Usually its the classic comment "Well I don't drink alcohol either, but you can have a drink on my birthday? Surely ?"

Erm, no, I don't drink. I don't enjoy giving myself brain damage. I'm already struggling as it is, thanks.

5. Spending a ridiculous amount of hours travelling to and from work, stuck in the tube or bus or waiting on platforms for trains, people's armpits etc... invading my personal space...
Whilst around me are people who seem to think this is an acceptable and normal part of life, part of a job, and something you just "get on with"....
Memo to NTs: No, its not really acceptable to force people to commute: its inhuman, its degrading and it is wrong to assume everyone can do it. Those images of people being squeezed and pushed onto japanese subways by transport employees with white gloves scare me. In the UK people just do it themselves. Grrrr.

The sound of vinyl scraping.

Shy, weak or quiet people. In the ghetto, everybody be yellin'.

Electronic rodent repellers, dog whistles, and other high-pitched screaming sounds that other people can't hear.

The forced placidity of Northwesterners.

Bad coffee.

1. Babies and that whole poopy diaper thing.

2. Price Stickers.

3. Paper Litter (ie. straw wrappers, used napkins, etc.). It's worse if they get wet.

4. Anything touching the top of my nails unintentionally.

5. People who talk broadly, with coarse voices/brassiness.

1. Heating/ furnace. I've given up trying to work when the heat kicks on as its unbearably loud.
2. People saying 'huh?' Repeatedly while waiting for you to answer.
3. Yogurt and cheese. I prefer the scents of gasoline and asphalt to the smells of yogurt and cheese.
4. Long sleeved shirts that aren't hoodies.
5. People moving or making sounds while I'm watching a movie (as in ANY sound.)

I've made a bad joke regarding the type of incontinence that I have. I know that I'm not alone and that there are a lot of famous and intelligent people who also have that same problem. I remember 5 years ago around this time after losing a friend here that someone in The Haven told me to develop a sense of humour about it. I'll go about it the right way this time. I'm just happy that this song doesn't have any lyrics, because I know what those lyrics would have been about.

1. Several food textures
-- Rubbery foods like mozzarella cheese and gummy bears
-- Raw tomatoes. The jelly-like texture gags me, plus I hate the smell...smells like decaying shrimp heads/shells to me
-- Wet bread, so no onion soup with that hunk of soaked bread on top, no tiramisu, none of the "tres leche" desserts, no bread pudding
-- Fermented foods -- many cheeses, wine, beer, pickles, sauerkraut. I hate the way they make my teeth feel.
2. Having my hair pulled. I can almost go into meltdown mode with that. I've been known to hit a snag while I'm combing my hair and have SLAPPED MYSELF because of it.
3. Massages. Most people I know love the idea of going for a massage. I find it an incredibly intimate activity to allow someone you're not VERY close to (such as a spouse or romantic partner) to perform.
4. People who tease me until I snap. I like kidding around and teasing as much as the next person, and I'll take as much as I give. But some people don't know when to stop. When I say "that's enough", it means I'm about to get mad. This also goes for people who argue just for the sake of arguing. Whatever side you take on a topic, they take just the opposite. And worse yet, they'll argue about facts that can easily be proved, like the author of a book or a scientific concept or a Constitutional Amendment.
5. Crying babies. I know lots of people -- out of compassion or whatever -- hate that. But I hate it just because it's so grating. I don't hear that and want to comfort the child. I want to go screaming into the streets. I've had true meltdowns because of it.

There's my five. Now here are my bonus extras --
6. Tom Cruise. Yes, the actor. I don't know why, but I hate him with a passion usually reserved for tyrannical world leaders. I want to throw things at the screen whenever he's on. I've likely missed some really good films because I hate him so badly.
7. Sex/love scenes in movies. I guess most people must get aroused watching them, but to me they're just embarrassing and gross. And it doesn't matter who it is -- ugly or hot, Brad Pitt or Steve Buscemi -- I still hate it. I don't have a problem with sex itself, just watching other people doing it.
8. People who question my honestly, integrity or intelligence.
9. The "Drop In". DO NOT come to my house unless you've called to let me know in advance of your visit.
10. The detergent aisle at the grocery store. It completely drives my nose crazy and I can barely breathe on that aisle. It's a little better now since so many soaps and detergents are liquid and in bottles, instead of years ago when everything was a powder in a cardboard box. I'll sneeze for hours after a trip to that aisle. Perfumes do the same thing to me.
11. Forced socializing. Family reunions, Christmas parties, mandatory office gatherings. I don't like much socializing anyway, but if I going to do it, I want it on my own terms.
12. Weddings. Any time I go to a wedding, I want to yell at the couple during the vows "Say NO!" I don't know if it's a fear of commitment on my part, the forced socializing, or the perceived loss of freedom by the couple, but I would almost rather attend a hanging than a wedding.
