Tell me something unusal that really grosses you out
For me, I cannot use/eat anything that uses that cheap wood you see with popsicles or those cheap spoons that came with ice cream cups. Just touching it, eating with it or even thinking about it grosses the bejesus out of me.

Right now I'm all freaked out thinking about those things.

2. "old folk" toenails
.
The THICK, very yellow, curved claw/talons that very old
people can get.
.
And I seem to be in danger of developing that myself. One
of the first things I'll do when I'm back on my feet is get a
podiatrist appointment and maybe a referral to a foot-care
clinic.
.

4. coffee grounds

5. I'm the same way!
I'm getting the chills just thinking about popsicles. I never understood why, but I can't stand for them to touch my teeth.

8. The realization that a tick is crawling on my body.
...They feel like no other insect, and having grown up in tick country (which is pretty much everywhere, come to think of it) I can recognize the particular tiny little multiple crawly feety feeling thing immediately.
EEeeeYIKES, yuck yuck yickety yuck.

11. I can pull ticks off my kids and Mr. Brickbat, and even the dogs if it's not engorged.
But if that mofo is crawling on me, I lose it. And if it's engorged on a dog, I will pay anyone cash money so I don't have to look at it, much less pull it off.

9. I can't stand cotton balls that creak. Mr. Brickbat is grossed out by little things, such as
earrings, left on a sink. He can't touch them. If they've been splashed on and are in a puddle of water, it's even worse.

Also, I hate feet.

15. Cotton balls...creak?
Okay, I'm completely unnerved by the thought of this. I don't want to go in the bathroom. Please explain.

26. I think perhaps "squeak" is a better word?
I don't think cotton balls creak, but they squeak... doesn't bother me, though.

40. That is the stuff my nightmares are made of
Literally. Thats what made my dreams nightmares as a kid. Vampires chasing me around my parents dank basement, no prob. Being lost and alone in a scary world, no prob. That oh so wrong cottonball texture... urk. no. just no.

41. I can tolerate it, except when someone I'm sitting at a
table with takes it out and sticks on on their plate. Just totally repulsive.

13. The smell of metal.
I hate it. Nothing makes me quite as nauseated as the smell of metal. I also hate to hear when metal objects scrape against each other.

18. When I was a kid, I used to help my mom hang clothes outside on the clothesline.
We used the old-fashioned clothespins that you pushed down onto the wet clothing and clothesline (not the kind with springs). They made a very peculiar sound when pushed down, felt horrible, and smelled funny.

To this day, I get shivers just thinking about it.

How about wooden spoons? They're okay after they've been seasoned for awhile, but when they're brand new...gross...can't even think about it.

38. People sharing utensils with their babies or toddlers
I can share an apple with my horse - she takes one bite, I take the next - but if I see someone eat off the same spoon that a small child just used, it gags me. Don't know why but I couldn't do it with my own kids either.

I have no problems sharing a spoon with my cat, though.
