What grosses YOU out?

[SeattleGirl]

I thought I'd ask this, because nothing much does gross me out, but I was watching the women's free-style ski jump, and saw that woman from Australia re-injure her knee. She was laying in the snow screaming at the pain, and I had to stop watching.

Other things that gross me out are people who chew and/or talk with their mouths open and full of food (retch!), and those God-awful milk moustache ads (double retch!).

What about you?

[LeftyMom]

1. Meat and cheese smells.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[LynzM]

2. Anything to do with anyone puking

Any sensory input related to puking. Iiiew. Makes me really nauseated.

The smell of sour milk.

Sounds of people manipulating crap in their sinus cavities. Blech.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Eeeeew!

Your first one, puking, reminds me of when Mr. SG and I were taking the Victoria Clipper from Seattle to Victoria, BC. We hit 7 foot swells, and damned near everyone on the boat lost it. The only way I maintained was I plugged my ears and closed my eyes, and hummed so I could block it all out!

[LynzM]

5. Not sure I would have survived that...

My grandparents went somewhere like that for their honeymoon, and apparently, it was absolutely terrible; even the crew was sick. I don't think I could cope. Iiiiew.

[SeattleGirl]

8. It was difficult, especially when Mr. SG lost it right next to me.

But I did it. And I have to give huge props to the crew -- it was like a M*A*S*H unit in there ("Bag!" "Towel!"). They were running up and down the aisles, taking care of people, without missing a beat, all the while the ship was rocking all over the place!

[LynzM]

18. Oh lord...

I don't know how they do it. Props to them. Wow.

[XemaSab]

57. I totally agree

Up until this year, I hadn't barfed since I was 10. And not for lack of trying, either.

Think alcohol. Sea voyages in small boats. And alcohol PLUS sea voyages in small boats.

No barfing.

Barfing is gross.

And this year when I barfed I had seriously injured an internal organ. :(

[barb162]

82. oh yes, there have been so many times in airplanes and

restaurants when I have seen and heard things....

[philosophie_en_rose]

4. Non-clear bodily fluids; Cannibalism; Men with Sex Slave Prenups

1. Any bodily fluid that isn't white or clear (vomit, etc)
2. Cannibalism - :puke: - People are NOT for eating.
3. That freaking thread scared the hell out of me.

[SeattleGirl]

6. Was that the marriage contract thread?

I didn't have a chance yet to check it out.

[philosophie_en_rose]

12. yeah. I'll save you the trouble.

Basically, an accused wife-kidnapper and child porn owner presented a code of behavior to his wife. She didn't sign.

She has to be naked for at least three hours a night, shave from navel to ass, comply with every variety of sex act, and is "noncompliant" if she tells him to stop because it hurts. Plus, his little slave list required her to submit to 20 porn pictures per month.

I don't know that she did anything in the list and it appears that she left his sorry ass, but it really shows what a sick mind that guy has.

[SeattleGirl]

16. If she wasn't going to go along with that, she certainly WAS a slave

There's a big difference between "games" between two willing adults, and the crap this guy was doing. I hope they lock him up for a looooooong, loooooong time!

[philosophie_en_rose]

29. Don't think it was a game, at all.

Serious control issues there. I hope he never sees his hopefully soon to be ex-wife again.

[SeattleGirl]

34. Definitely NOT a game.

As I said, games involve willing parties. She was not a willing participant, so no game, just control/domination. I'm glad she got out!

[Wetzelbill]

102. yes like when I dress up as Batman

and SG spanks me. That's a game! :)

But seriously, I used to think the world was a much better place. I get so saddened when I hear about people like this. I was so surprised to see that men treat women so badly. Not anymore though. Nothing surprises me nowadays. Those controlling psychos deserve to get beaten. A lot.

[SeattleGirl]

105. Yes, there are games and there are NOT games!

This dude was definitely NOT playing a game!

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. .

:scared:

[Left Is Write]

7. I'm with you on the chewing with the mouth open or while talking.

Especially if little bits of food go flying. It is guaranteed to make me lose my appetite.

[SeattleGirl]

9. I used to work with a woman who chewed/talked with mouth open.

Small company, and we usually all ate together, sitting at the conference table. I could NOT look at that woman when she ate. God! :scared:

[johnnie]

10. One thing that comes to mind

That fucking smell. My siblings used to like that crap and I always said it smelled like someone was cooking cat puke and diapers.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Oh man!

I hate the smell of that stuff too, though I had never quite described the smell in such *colorful* terms!.

[Left Is Write]

15. I only had Spaghetti-Os rarely as a child...

my mom wasn't much for buying kid-crap-in-a-can; I can't remember if I ever had it at home or only at friends' houses.

Anyway, a couple of years ago I bought some for my kids, thinking they might like it, and remembering how I liked it.

Either my memory was faulty or my tastes have matured considerably. The Spaghetti-Os were nasty! My kids didn't like them either.

[Ohio Joe]

121. What ?

Spaghetti Os are the breakfast of champions. A litle garlic powder, a little cheese, mm mm good :)

[johnnie]

122. .

:puke:

[2bfree]

124. I thought I was the only one!

The stench of canned pasta makes me gag almost as bad as canned cat food. I feel like I am getting the dry heaves just thinking about it. :(

[FunkyLeprechaun]

14. Not too much grosses me out....

But I love to watch crime shows, just the dead bodies they show on A and E gross me out and make me insominac briefly (I've got to watch Disney to sleep happily). One episode, called "Little Sister Lost," actually had a videotape of the crime scene and they show the police flipping over the body. Urgh.

And a Maximum Factor show (kind of like World's Most Amazing Videos) had a video of a high school wrestler competing in a match. You could see his leg breaking... they showed it 5 times. I still cringe to this day.

And this is from the girl who thinks old people taking out their teeth is funny.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Breaking bones........eeeeew!

I have seen video several times of a horse race, where one of the horses suffers a horrible break in one of it's legs. I run screaming from the room over that!

[StopTheMorans]

17. any non-meat containing food product

:puke:

[mwooldri]

19. Blood.

Curiously however I managed to make it through the birth of my son without passing out. What happened afterwards was more scary (the crash team coming out, a 8 hour operation within his first 24 hours at a different hospital to the one he was born at...)

For that reason I don't care too much for horror movies. Scary, it's OK. But horror movies usually involve the red stuff being shed somewhere.

Oh, I am squeamish about knives being waved around and sharp impliments in general. Oh, and guns I am not fond of. Scared of 'em.

Mark.

[SeattleGirl]

22. Blood and gore movies are not to my liking either.

The psychological thrillers are the scary ones -- the b&g are just gross!

[HEyHEY]

21. Where shall I begin?

[SeattleGirl]

23. Anywhere you want!

:-)

[HEyHEY]

27. Okay

- Eating food cooked at other people's houses
- Door handles
- Elevator buttons
- people chewing with their mouths open
- people talking with their mouths full
- People sharing food or drink
- public toilets
- The smell of feces
- Other people's feet
- cold dips
- uncooked cheese


it goes on

[SeattleGirl]

28. Wow

Is it difficult to get through a day. I'm not laughing at you, not at all. Some of those things, like door handles and elevator buttons, and nearly unavoidable. How do you do it?

[HEyHEY]

30. Grit my teeth

And wash my hands often... if no-one is looking I use a sleeve or paper towel.

[SeattleGirl]

33. Jeez, it must be such a challenge for you.

:hug:

[HEyHEY]

35. Nah, it's not so bad

You get used to it. The funny thing is I'm a reporter and used to see a lot of gory shit at accidents and what not, oddly THAT doesn't gross me out.

[SeattleGirl]

38. Isn't it funny (meaning odd), what does and doesn't gross us out?

I don't get too grossed out at real crime scene photos, or other things that you'd think would gross me out, but the food stuff I mentioned in my OP, and some other things, well -- GROSS!!!

[In_The_Wind]

24. Watching women try on sample eye makeup in drugstores.

[SeattleGirl]

25. That's an interesting one, Joani.

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

37. LynneSin and I actually saw that in NYC on Friday night. Ewww!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

39. Sometimes hard to avoid in a story carrying makeup, huh?

Dang, I was wishing I could magically transport myself across the country and join up with all of you! The meet-up I went to not long ago in Seattle was so much fun, and I bet the NY one was too!

[In_The_Wind]

43. DUers seen to like traveling to be together. Many came from other states.

I wish you could have been here too!




back to that makeup thing ... I never use the testers! These women were putting it on their eyes :scared: how dumb was that.

[SeattleGirl]

45. Oh, gack! They're using the SAME applicator????

No wonder you're grossed out! I would never do that! When I get a make-over done, it's always at a good store, and they use disposable applicators.

[In_The_Wind]

46. see ...

If I say it's ewww then it's ewww.

[SeattleGirl]

47. You certainly DID tell me so!

I just didn't understand at first what you were saying. OMG. Some folks have NO standards of cleanliness or health!

[Whoa_Nelly]

26. Maggots and Tapeworms!

Not much grosses me out, but...maggots! EWWWWWWWW!

Oh...and tapeworms!
A long time ago had the cutest chihuahua mix puppy. Found her when she was about 6 months old and running with a local pack of dogs.

One night, while lying in bed reading with the cutie I named Toby lying curled around the top of my head, suddenly saw squiggly things crawling down my shoulder.

It was TAPEWORMS!!!

I ran screaming totally grossed out!

Poor puppy...had her dewormed, but it was one of the more gross moments of my life.

[SeattleGirl]

31. Ooooooooooooo!

I would have gone screaming out of the room too!

[FunkyLeprechaun]

40. Just had to comment here...

I watched a show called Body Farm in Britain and they had maggots. It didn't gross me out but yet real crime scene photos do....

I'm just odd that way.

[XemaSab]

63. Agreed

Barfing is bad.

Falling in cowshit is bad.

But maggots and tapeworms are the worst.

I'll spare you the story of how I got my vulture head, but believe me you, it was nasty. :scared:

[aQuArius]

32. FEET! Dirty, Ugly, Toe-filled FEET

I'm sick just thinking about it.

[SeattleGirl]

36. I get weirded out by feet sometimes.

Especially ill-kept feet.

[aQuArius]

41. Hairy feet, smelly feet, sweaty feet

they're all terribly disgusting!

[grace0418]

62. I'm not a fan of feet either.

Maybe cause mine are so ugly.

[Kali]

42. Stepping in cold wet pet barf or shit (usually a loose accident)

early in the morning.

Maggots.

Human barf is up there too - especially if I have to clean it up for some reason...

Mutton - absolutly gags me, goat cheese too.

Yeah knees getting dammaged - gives a goosey feeling doesn't it?

there's more, but I just ate dinner and I don't want to try too hard!

[SeattleGirl]

44. Oh, those pet accidents!

Encountered a few of them myself. Yuck!

[barb162]

56. my girlfriend's father stepped in the barf with both feet once

I still laugh my head off when she describes it. All he kept saying was SONOFABITCH over and over

[SeattleGirl]

61. OMG!

I shouldn't laugh because I've done it myself, but damn, that's funny! :rofl:

[barb162]

73. Besides that you had to know him. He was hilarious.

She demonstrated for me how he was walking and basically he got it a lot on the front of his feet and so he was walking on his heels and swearing. I thought I was going to die laughing when she demonstrated it. Try walking only on your heels right now and you'll know what I mean. It's a very, um, contorted walk.

[XemaSab]

59. At my last job most of the places we worked were on ranches

and this one job we were doing a HUGE burrowing owl survey on a ranch.

It was January, it was rainy and muddy.

Basically I tried to walk up an embankment and I slipped and fell and TOTALLY ATE IT in the BIGGEST, GREENEST COW PIE YOU EVER SAW.

It was SO nasty, and I was nowhere near the biffy, so I just had to rinse off as best I could in the skankiest farm canal while my colleagues snickered at me.

It was all over my hands and up my arm.

It was BAD.

[SeattleGirl]

65. Oooh, Xema!

Having spent time on my uncle's farm (dairy) growing up, I made acquaintance with more than one cow pie! Never ate one though! :popcorn:

[XemaSab]

79. I never ate one

but one day my soils class was out on a field trip. Now in soils we do a thing called "texturing" where we feel the soil and try to determine the amount of sand, silt, and clay. It's a subtle art, and it's something where you want the opinion of a colleague as often as not.

We were out in Redwood National Park in a big field full of elk. There were elk everywhere, and yes, there were elk droppings everywhere.

This is where the story gets shameful.

I decided to play a trick on a colleague.

I grabbed a handfull of elk pie, and I said to my collegue "Hey, can you get a texture on this for me?" and I handed it to him.

:D

[barb162]

77. So how many showers did you take when you got home?

[XemaSab]

80. I'm still trying to get clean

:scared:

[barb162]

81. Oh that's hilarious!!!!

[Kali]

126. eh, cow shit is nothing - especially grass fed

it's the carnivores and onmivores - pigs, dogs, humans - bleh

(want to really gross out? I've stepped in it on purpose! Barefoot! - sometimes it gets hot as hell around here and if you accidently find yourself needing to cross an expanse of especially hot ground with no shoes in sight it makes a decent temporary "moccasin" for about a dozen yards - hahahaha)

[yvr girl]

48. I threw up on a baby once

• I'm not good with things that smell bad.
  
• Anything that is cleaned up with toilet paper
  
• Public washrooms
  
• Sniffling...you know when it's not just air...ewwww...I got off the skytrain once because someone on the other side of the car was sniffling loudly
  
• Bad BO

[barb162]

55. well it's better than the baby throwing up on you

[yvr girl]

58. Except I was babysitting the little tyke

I was changing his diaper (on the floor) at the time. First time I managed to get to the bathroom, but the baby had moved around a bit and made a mess of...his mess. Then I had to clean THAT up too. I started to throw up again. Got the baby, my foot and the floor. Then I had to clean THAT up too.

So not worth $2.00 an hour.

[barb162]

60. Ooh, I'd probably be barfing too, Hell, 100 an hr. isn't enough

[SeattleGirl]

67. Well, true confession here.....

My mom was laying on the floor with me when I was just a few months old, holding me up in the air, and I threw up, and some of it went into her mouth. (I'm sorry mom!) :blush:

[Wetzelbill]

49. monkeys

mustard

Hamburger

[Bullwinkle925]

50. The thought of Cheney /and or Bush in any kind of sexual position.

bleccchhhhhh!

[SeattleGirl]

53. Now THAT is gross!!!!

I think I'm gonna have nightmares tonight. :scared:

[Bullwinkle925]

123. I know!!!

I want them out of sight and out of mind - permanently!!!!!

[swag]

51. Piety.

[SeattleGirl]

68. That's a good one.

I always feel like smacking the shit out of people like that.

[swag]

72. Yeah,

and I really hate it when I start exhibiting the signs.

Smack me down!

[SeattleGirl]

78. How 'bout if I just spank you down?

:spank: :evilgrin:

[NMMNG]

52. Poop

Cats' hair balls, because they are so similar in appearance to poop
Smegma (the substance and the word)
Semen
Cut open bodies (I can't watch "surgery" shows)
People with stuff hanging out of their noses
B.O.

[SeattleGirl]

69. I can watch surgery shows, except then they work on noses.

Like those plastic surgery shows where the do nose jobs. I have to mute the sound and close my eyes or turn away. Can NOT deal with that!

[barb162]

54. chewing open-mouthed, oh, gross

[SeattleGirl]

70. Yep.

Don't you just want to scream, "Shut your mouth!!!" at them?

[barb162]

64. road kill. No matter how many thousands of dead animals

I have seen on the road I still can't get used to it. I feel sorry for every little creature who dies that horrible way

[SeattleGirl]

71. I do too.

Awhile back, we were at the Oregon coast with my sisters and their husbands. We were following my BIL's in their van, and a cat darted across the road and they ran it over. It was actually more heartbreaking than gross, especially when we located the cat's owner and told her. It was so hard, but she was very thankful that we took the time to tell her; otherwise she might not have known. :cry:

[grace0418]

66. This is going to sound weird but

I totally get the willies when I reach into the freezer to get some ice (and my hands are damp or something) and the ice sticks to my hands. *SHUDDER* I'm not kidding. That really grosses me out.

[SeattleGirl]

74. That doesn't gross me out, but it does bother me.

:scared:

[auntAgonist]

75. People who 'hork and spit"

makes me gag and want to throw up!!!

I DO NOT have a weak stomach. I've worked in funeral homes and done recovery work for them also. I have seen a fair bit. But that .. horking and spitting is just ... :puke: :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

83. I don't like that either.

One of the very few things I don't like about baseball!

[Nutmegger]

76. Ok, this seems common but

I can't stand killing bugs. The cracking sound and the sudden dampness of the tissue...ewwww.

Seems kind of petty but I always try to spare the life of the bug.

[SeattleGirl]

84. I am the same way!

The itty bitty ones, I can smush, but the bigger ones? No way. Get the glass and the piece of paper, trap them, and take them outside!

[Nutmegger]

87. I almost had a near heart attack

when I seen the critters down in Georgia. I was down there visiting relatives and came upon this, well I don't know what it was, centipede-like bug that was at least the length of two quarters put together and about the width of one quarter. My uncle ended up killing it, it was so pathetic. Ewww, so nasty.

[SeattleGirl]

88. I saw plenty of big, gross critters when I lived in Texas.

Now THOSE were some nightmare-inducing encounters! :scared:

[Nutmegger]

90. Oh I can imagine

Bet you don't see anything near as gross in Seattle!

[SeattleGirl]

94. Not even close!

We had a June Bug invade the house once, and I swear to God, if that thing had hit you, you'd be dead! :scared:

[Nutmegger]

103. OMG!

How did y'all manage?

:scared:

[SeattleGirl]

107. Wasn't easy, but we finally got that thing out of the house!

:scared:

[Wapsie B]

85. As bad as some of these things are

like vomit, the worst thing I've come across is moldy soybeans. :puke: Get some of those in an enclosed area like a grain bin. Just ungodly.

[SeattleGirl]

86. Never had the pleasure, bwa.

And hope I never do!

[Wapsie B]

92. You don't want to SG.

Trust me.

[SeattleGirl]

95. I'll take your word for it, darlin'!

:loveya:

[Wapsie B]

99. .............

:loveya:

[Kali]

127. oh god rotten beans - also potatoes

eewww especially when you accidently stick your finger through the mess :puke:

[Wapsie B]

128. Oh god yes.

:puke:

Nothing like rotting organic matter to kill the appetite.

[unsavedtrash]

89. mayo, getting my feet wet when it is unexpected, and baby slobber n/t

[SeattleGirl]

93. I don't mind baby slobber

Baby spit-up, however, is a completely different issue!

[Wetzelbill]

96. mayo gets me sick too

yick!

[amitten]

91. Dirty fingernails. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

97. (Looking at nails...yep, they're clean!)

Dirty nails are a turn off, especially of the hands they're attached to want to touch ME!

[amitten]

98. I keep my own very clean but God forbid I should look down and

notice something under one of my (short) nails. Gives me a chill and I CANNOT function until I've washed my hands/cleaned the nail. And I'm not OCD--it just grosses me out. :shrug:

[MrScorpio]

100. Joe Theisman's leg break

Since it's WMV, I can't see it

Enjoy

http://www.extremesportclips.com/viewvideo.php?vid=299

[SeattleGirl]

101. I've seen it once. Don't need to see it again.

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[u4ic]

104. Food particles on moustaches/beards

:puke:

Barf, definitely.
B.O.
Waaaay too much body hair. Regardez:

[SeattleGirl]

106. Ack! Nightmares!

:scared:

[entanglement]

108. Has to be much worse than this

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

109. Oh. My. God!!!!!!!!

You have officially given me nightmares!!!!!! :spank: :spank: :spank: :evilgrin:

[entanglement]

110. Believe it or not, those maggots are actually helping to HEAL

someone's foot. Talk about ungrateful humans :eyes: :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

111. Actually, I have seen TV programs on that.

I know that works, but I'm still grossed out about it!

[XemaSab]

112. I would have to be SO sedated for that

It reminds me of this one time I watched a necropsy on a mountain lion that had been eating sheep.

It had a busted tooth, and it had tiny maggots living inside the tooth.

Mega-nasty!!!!

Nasty times a thousand!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

113. Oh. Yes.

Some things, even when they are good for us, aren't exactly pleasant to witness!

[Robeson]

114. A pit full of live snakes pretty much does it for me.....

...also, I HATE ONIONS!!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

115. Live snakes and onions?

Well, I can certainly understand that!!!



(BRAT!!! :spank: :spank: :spank: :evilgrin: )

[njdemocrat106]

116. Spiders and spider webs

Ever walk into a spider web before? :scared:

Also, straight sour cream. I can tolerate it on Mexican food or as some sort of ingredient (like in a sauce or dip), but straight sour cream from the container smells and tastes nasty, IMO.

[SeattleGirl]

131. I've walked into more than my fair share of spider webs

Ugh!!!! :scared:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

117. I'm with you SeattleGirl....I can't stand pain

Perhaps it's because I've been in surgery so many times and have witnessed pain first hand that I am beyond neurotic when it comes to seeing others in pain. Even if it's in a fictional movie or television show, I have to turn the sound off and maybe even change the channel or turn off the TV.

[SeattleGirl]

132. Seeing/hearing someone else in pain is almost as bad

as being in pain myself. :cry:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

118. sputum

just the word does it to me. But once upon a time I was a nurses' aide and had to collect sputum jar.

Oh. gross.

[SeattleGirl]

133. Oh, yuck!

That's why my mom and sisters are CNA's, and I'm not!

[kwassa]

119. Rotting radish greens

The smell of the rotting leaves on raddish is one of the worst smells possible, and I don't know why.

[SeattleGirl]

134. Not to mention how slimey they feel.

:scared:

[ThomCat]

120. People who make a lot of noise when they eat.

And chew with their mouths open. I get physically skeeved out if I can see and hear somebody eating.

How does anyone reach adulthood and not know basic table manners?

.............

And comedies that make fun of people. Not funny at all. I cringe and can't watch them.

[SeattleGirl]

135. Agree 100%

I just want to yell at them, "Shut your f-ing mouth when you chew!!!!" :grr:

[SmileyBoy]

125. Smelling someone else's fart.

Not my own, but someone else's.

As Fat Bastard said, "Everyone likes their own brand."

[graywarrior]

129. Being late for threads like this

[SeattleGirl]

136. Silly!

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

130. People who floss their teeth in the living areas of a house...or clip and

clean their nails...People who chew with their mouths open...surgeries on film...oh man, a whole slew of things.

[SeattleGirl]

137. Flossing and clipping. Ick!!!

Agreed, MrsG! These things should be done in the bathroom, with the door shut!

[WhollyHeretic]

138. Someone in the lounge posted the name of a infamous online picture

last week. It is a horrifically disgusting picture and I resisted the urge to see it at first when I saw everyone's horrified posts. I finally succumbed to curiosity a few minutes ago and googled it. :puke: :banghead: Without a doubt the most disgusting thing I've seen.

[chaska]

139. Public spitting.

Private too (swallowing is so much more ladylike - sorry, couldn't resist).

[Roon]

140. Anything grosses me out

That is why I am putting this thread on ignore.

[July]

141. Chew/talk at the same time -- that was my first thought!

Unfortunately, my own mother, who is otherwise fairly well-mannered and aware, continues to mystify me by doing this. I can't even look at her when she does it. My kids know how I feel about this, so they try to get my attention when Grandma's visiting and does it, hoping to make me laugh or get mad.

Agree about the milk moustaches, too.

I'm also grossed out to see tons of uncovered flesh in the summer. I know, there's a reason for it, but I don't like looking at most people in shorts and sleeveless tops.

[Burma Jones]

142. Insufficiently cleaned chitterlings being boiled in Vinegar

I had a roommate do this once, I damn near died.
