Name 5 things you hate which people consider to be unusual

Post Reply New Topic

Chocolate Milk--tastes slimy to my mind.
Mashed Potatoes--I just can't eat it.
Coffee--the very smell makes me queasy.
Several people trying to get my attention or talking to me all at once.
A hand sliding over wood--Hate to even think about it. Drives me up a wall!

The last two have been known to throw me into a full autistic fit.

I don't particularly want to get into things I hate, as I honestly have far too many and I really need to let go... as sometimes I get so utterly vindictive about them that I make myself sick...

BUT I can apply my personal stance to your own choices, since that seems almost as apt...

#1. I have absolutely no opinion on radios one way or another. I simply do not apply any thought to them.
#2. I dislike all forms of intentional deception that way. There is no such thing as benign deception. And I dislike sameness even more. Mundies might like conformity... but my usual response is the Highlander approach: There can be only one. I even get bothered sometimes by people agreeing with me. Like somehow my opinions must be uniquely mine and anyone else with the same is trying to steal them from me... but that probably shows just how messed up I am.
#3. I don't like crisps either. They're too sharp and dry. They cut the inside of the mouth and get stuck in the teeth. Utterly unacceptable. The texture of Jaffa Cakes is far preferable.
#4. I like burnt out candle smell. Burnt out matches are even better. Oh the delicious phosphate aroma. =D ... There are plenty of smells I utterly loathe though. Most womens' perfume in particular. Nothing quite like being trapped in the lift with some bag who thinks that smelling like an oil refinery is an improvement over her natural, biological aroma. It gets so vile sometimes as to bring me close to vomiting.
#5. My "clothes" are my skin. This is somewhat awkward as I sweat profusely and I hate that to the Nth degree... but nudity isn't something I'm comfortable with, personally. I don't feel like myself unless I'm fully adorned... particularly my long, leather coat. I am incomplete without my clothing.



... So... that is that. For now.

A) tags in my clothing
B) small talk
C) certain sounds which include but are not limited to: high pitched voices (the woo woo girl call especially- you know that shrieking sound some women make upon seeing each other as if they are twins separated during childhood that just reunited by chance. When in reality it's someone they talk to daily. Can't stand it. But then again a lot of people probably can't stand it either), styrofoam, screeching of utensils on plates, the noise of a tv set when the black and white pixels show, the list goes on.
D) pudding and jello (can't stand to even look at jello)
E) things that hang or are placed crookedly such as blinds, wall art, rugs. I have straightened pictures on walls in places where it really wasn't my business to go around straightening crooked wall art and rugs.

Oh my god..you hate crisps too?!? I've never found someone who hates them and for the same reason. That's awesome!

Infact, you basically wrote my list. I would add that I hate having my hair cut. Especially having clippers so close to my ears. It used to make my very upset as a kid, now I just hold my breath till I am free to go.

Oh and I hate the feeling of sticky hands. I have to wash my hands all through the day if I have been using a mouse or something of a dirty nature.

EDIT: Socks too. They are the first thing I remove. I despise the feeling of being trapped. I'm always taking my shoes off in class just to grant some freedom. I cringe at most materials, socks often being the main culpret. Some fabrics make me want to curl up in a ball and die.

I always used to hate buying new clothing as a kid. I remember it vividly. I don't know if it was because I became too attached to my possessions, or whatever, but I hated it.

I could go on forever...

Strong smells..the sound of pouring water..metal on teeth (imagine my joy when I had braces..)..labels (I cut them off instantly)..trying new food (I like to stick to what I know) but the worst culprit of all is crisps. Nothing hurts me more. I can be around them, but I'll do my best to get out of there as soon as I can. The pringles that come in green tubes are the absolute worst.

Cool it is quite unusual to dislike crisps as much I went through a phobic phase when I was younger.
Socks I never mentioned they are off my feet as soon as possible and if my hands get messy it is awful.
I am guessing you like Dexter too judging from your picture, I love it.

It amuses me how much I have in common with some people on these forums.

This makes me so happy to read! haha.

I just edited the post again, added some extra bit about crisps. I literally haven't got a clue what it is. I don't even want to touch the packaging.

This one time my dad rolled a pringle tube at me and I broke out in tears. I don't even know why. I was phobia like with them, I'm better now (all part of my being normal routine - which is slowly cracking aha)
My worst experience was in Year 2. The teacher laid out loads of bowls full of crisps so we could try them. The devil woman wouldn't take no for an answer. I walked out in the end, but that was a traumatic time too. Funny thing was, I used to eat them in my very early years..

Dexter is awesome! :]

Peanut butter
Hot dogs
Jazz (especially be-bop jazz) gets me to a near meltdown state if I listen to it too long.
Vacations are too disruptive of my routine
Talking on the phone

Harvest gold, avocado, chocolate and persimmon. That was the favorite combination of so many decorators of the '70s. No wonder I spent my childhood nauseated.

I did not go in to too much detail but I am so similar with crisps, I ate them for a very short period when I was very young I have no idea why I have this issue.

People do not understand and I am trying to get better with them as well, I can now be in the room with them although it is agonizing, I agree with the packet part even when they are sealed it is no different.

I agree it is nice to read seeing as I have never encountered anyone with such a similar dislike for them.

Have you found that you have a slightly negative attitude towards foods which are in a similar packaging? For example the Mattessons fridge raiders I would never even try or go near.

Also when having chips the small crispy pieces are very similar to crisps and they do not bother me, although I do not like chips very much anyway. Is it the same with you?

I wish there was a way to find out why it is them specifically, I think it must be more than a sensory issue, because I could stand eating them briefly when I was young and I do not have much of a problem with the chips I described.

Also coloured pencils? How are they for you?

I can't describe why either.

I don't think I'm as bad when things come in a similar package, but then again, I rarely eat things that come in that form. Maybe it's because of the same reasons? I don't know. I don't eat a large variety of food, but I am trying (I tried jam for the first time a few weeks back - it was AMAZING!)

I don't really eat chips either. But on the occassions that I do, I will never eat a chip that looks like a crisp (sometimes they come really flat). The grease proof paper doesn't bother me because I eat chips with a work (to avoid getting my hands greasy haha)

Coloured pencils are fine, why? What is it about them that bothers you?
I was an art student though, have done art most of my life. Colouring with crayons was one of my personal favourites (tonal being my favourite)

I don't eat those bits in chips they just don't bother me but if crisps were in any of my food It would mean I could not eat it, I guess it might be the packaging because I do not eat anything in that form either.

What bothers me about them is the feeling of using them especially and the noise, just one of those things I can not explain. I can use wax crayons but pencils with coloured leads I absolutely hate.

Yeah I wouldn't eat food which a crisp had touched. I wont even touch things that other people have touched (after they have eaten crisps) It doesn't help as I have to wash my hands even more.
Do you find if their is food out on display, along with crisps, you wont eat anything surrounding them?

I don't find myself if this situation too often, but when I am, I feel very uncomfortable. Especially all of the sounds.

See, I don't have problems with crayons as they are often encased in wood. But pure wax crayons, like the ones you would have as an infant, that would bug me, especially if they don't have the paper wrap around them.

1) Currently the catch phrase "moving forward" and variations thereof such as "going" or "looking" forward.

2) The so-called word "Twitter-verse" - especially as used by people in journalism ... it just grates on me.

3) Grunts when people bend to put on shoes or other such actions that really don't need to be punctuated with grunts - do they?

4) "The News" and especially the music that leads into the news. It puts me on edge.

5) "Sound effects" some people seem to think they need to make with yawns.

1. Hearing people eat, especially foods that are slurped, like cereal or soup.
2. People talking behind me
3. The smell of cigarettes
4. Having people touch me if I don't know them well.
5. The sound of a ball bouncing

blue1skies, except for 5, I identify with your list too. How could I forget the smell of cigarettes!?
Adding that to my personal list.

Logicalmom, the grunting is only unbearable to me, if I have to endure this from more than three people. Then I start asking myself "is everybody here in such a bad condition?".

1) Maroon 5 (maybe that's not unusual) and most modern music
2) Sunny days with no clouds in the sky
3) Swimming in the ocean or a pool
4) Award shows
5) Family Guy
