Things That "Grind".

Post Reply New Topic

I will start. Red and green touching each other (The only exception is red on a train bufferbeam as at least the bufferbeam is a seperate part).
Chewing cardboard.... Yuch! Makes me shudder!
Chewing gum... I don't like the smell.
When one breaks or damages a bone! Things like that.

Bare feet on gritty concrete
The sound of an air tool
Filing fingernails
Having blood taken from inside my elbow
Anyone touching my bare toes with their own feet
The texture of Swiss chard on the teeth when eaten
The skin of a kiwifruit

Externally: It takes something loudly rusty, nail being scratched on a chalkboard kind of grind to actually bypass my sensory thresholds. I'd even sensory seek at pouring alcohol on superficial wounds.
Otherwise, it's a situational kind of grind: being suddenly bothered by any intense stimuli while focusing. Or anything similar to being splashed with cold water in your sleep.

Internally: All I have to do, is chew something that is generally too hard, too rough or slippery to chew: which is many things. These includes onion pieces of any sizes, carrots/beans/seeds that aren't soft enough, etc.
Anything that feels dry and sore.
The emotion of envy, sensing belligerence and haughtiness from others.



Some sensory issues I got doesn't 'grind', more like it accumulates, barely bothering until it's uncomfortable or just takes out from me for some reason.

Edna... You've made me think about something. Egg. I have always avoided eating eggs. It all has to do with the way the white of the egg feels in my mouth. It makes my body squirm! The smell off egg reminds me of this squirm feeling.
Yet (Though I have not done so for years) I can eat a raw uncooked egg. It may not be pleasant, but if pushed I will eat it and be fine with it. It does not smell the same. It feels like eating something that is not egg so I am ok with it. Yes, it does feel slimy so it may not be pleasant... but cooked egg... Oeer! No!! !)

On a positive note, tennis player Rafael Nadal is considered a "grinder," someone who works hard and puts in a lot of physical effort to succeed.

On a negative note, one thing grinding at me right now is the realization that my progress toward a fully independent life may be ending. I'm seeing a lot of things just blowing up in my face right now.

I don't know. I am thinking, more and more, that the choices in my life are growing slimmer by the day. My quest for a fully independent life may be coming to an end. I'd hate to think that one day I'll be back to my old life before 2013.

This may be a daft one, but here goes- repetitive drilling, hammering etc that starts and stops , starts again and stops etc .

Loud barking dogs that go on and on. Our back fence neighbor had a pair of loud, barking vicious Dobermans. They went on and on all night.

One thing I noticed that's a bit irritating is when the phrase "1 replies" appears in the reply column. It should be "1 reply."

For me loud sudden noises. Also loud noises... Yes. I do sometimes use machines, but I am very careful with them. I have been criticised many times for being too careful...
My brother has a few lawnmowers and I use the quieter one. It is lovely. Though our land is a bit big for it so it takes a while! Both my brothers have bought sit on mowers now, but as yet neither if them are working.
We did have our John Deere 655 with a cutting deck and it has differential lock and selectable 4WD, and one can brake each back wheel individually. Is 18HP (Diesel) as it was rebuilt and rebored before he had it. The only issue is that the cutting deck went beyond repair. It had 3 large cutting blades... That little machine is now used as a tractor. It could take a front bucket but a friend of my brothers damaged the bucket controls. It lso has a PTO at the back with 3 point linkage and a secondary PTO underneath for the cutting deck. Over the years we have used it to rescue lorries, vans, a bus and various cars that have become stuck. Is a powerful little thing!

Audible eating noises

Spelling and/or grammatical errors in office memos

Scratching surfaces that make a "zzzzzzztttt" kind of sound. Gives me literal goosebumps in a bad way.

Being falsely accused of hostile intent.

Being insulted for presenting known, observable and verifiable scientific facts.
