Two things that you cannot bear to touch . . .

Asked by SomeoneElse (2708points) June 9th, 2013

I cannot bear to touch rabbits or polystyrene.
Rabbits are really boney and make me cringe, while polystyrene is just so awful to handle. It sort of ‘squeaks’ and, to me, is untouchable. New products seem to be well and truly secured in the stuff, which provides, of course, safety in transit.
It’s the unwrapping that I need help with.
If, Heaven forbid, they transported rabbits in polystyrene I would be doubly stressed!
Do tell if there are any two things which you cringe away from.

Stray hair in sink, tub or food
Sticky stuff like honey, syrup or Chinese spareribs
Oh—and anything that accidentally falls into the john, like a toothbrush or comb.

Uncle Ben’s testicles, goes against the rice grain…no matter how friendly his grin.

The wound of Christ and touch pads.

Wool of a lamb or sheep. I think I’m allergic to the lanolin.

Cotton balls. Cotton rounds aren’t quite as bad.

Jellyfish and fire.

Other people’s strange bumps/lumps/etc on their bodies. Why the hell did I think nursing school was a good idea? My mom had a baker’s cyst on the back of her knee and asked me to feel it. It completely grossed me out and I could hardly do it.

Another thing would be any insect or creepy crawly. Letting a ladybug or centipede crawl on my hand? No freakin’ way.

It used to be raw hamburger meat, but I got over it sort of.

Raw hamburger meat feels amazing. Like ground beef?

@sparrowfeed Yep. I can’t stand the squish between my fingers, especially if it’s cold.

Dried prunes. They taste good, but the texture is revolting.

1) Chalk… or chalkboards!! I just can’t stand them!! And 2) when my hands are dried out! If that counts….. Like after I do dishes or get done working outside, I just HAVE to have lotion or something!!

@ILovezSparkles2 I think we were separated at birth. I hate the feel of chalk on my hands and I can’t stand it when my hands dry out. I always have to put lotion on my hands after I wash them. I also can’t fold laundry until I put lotion on my hands. Laundry fresh out of the dryer is too dry for my hands. Welcome to Fluther :)

Wet noodles. Like if someone rinsed their spaghetti plate in the sink, but some noodles gathered at the bottom. I hate touching them to get them out, so I just stab them in the drain with a knife. Or if I’m washing the dishes and some noodles are floating around and touching my hands, it’s just grossly ass.

Styrofoam and nylon yarn. They just set my teeth on edge.

Public handles/knobs and loose human hair.

picante's avatar

Insects and any gelatinous blob; I have no problem picking up a blob of cat or dog hair, but the sight of human hair in the drain or shower is repulsive to me.

Ear wax from any marsupial, and photos of George W. or Barbara Bush….
