What things make you wince reflexively?

There is this girl in one of my classes who begins by cracking her back they proceeds to crack seemingly every single joint in her body. When I see her warming up (it is easy to spot the “back cracking twist”), I wince and want to get up and leave the room.

the smell of ketchup
the phrase “birth canal”
nails on a chalk board
the sound of cardboard scraping up against cardboard omglkajdsflkjse

Smell of mayonaise
Gunshots
Babies crying

All uses of the wrong your/you’re and they’re/there/their
Mention of cutting wrists

At work today, I overheard this conversation:

“Hey how much for the dog?”
“Ain’t selling the dog, but my wife…”

I despise “wife humor” amongst guys. I hear a lot of it at work. What would compell you to bad-mouth your wife to other people? Even in jest? If your not happy with the “old ball and chain”, do her a favor and leave ya fucking knuckle-dragger.

I cringe every time I hear it.

Television commercials about Male Enhancement, or discussions by women of their yeast infections.

Car engine backing up
Gunshot
The first high-pitched shriek of a baby
Severe “Lawn Guyland” accents
Gum-snapping
Subway train braking
Flipping past a TV station and seeing surgery or flesh being cut.

Besides the “c” word, the word “unintroduced” bugs me to the core when I hear people utter this word.

@sliceswiththings- I also agree with the wrong use of words such as there/their and too/two. I just feel with all of the computer programs correcting us with underlining the words we have no excuse. It is underlined in RED (spelling correction needed) or GREEN (grammar needs correction.

I dislocated my knee once (badly), and now when ever I see or hear about someone having knee problems, shivers run down my spine.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities That’s interesting, I used to react to wrist problems, but since having my own (break/surgery) I feel fine when it’s mentioned!

@filmfann Haha, I have a great yeast infection story!

If the C word is what i think it is… then for me, its annoying too
Also the P word. both of those words refer to a woman’s part btw… if no one understands me.
It just sounds kinda gross for some reason. i dont mind the technical term though. o.o
The words Moist
and cliches in general

@sliceswiththings (covers ears) LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

Ha ha

@cprevite where the hell do you live, Arkansas?

-The sound of someone chewing with their mouth open.
-Watching (or hearing) someone pick at their toenails.
-Grinding teeth.

@filmfann aha! now I know your greatest weakness!

@holden: shockingly, just outside of Boston.

“Cunning linguist” for “cunnilinguist.”

@cprevite that’s disappointing.

The scent of ketchup.
When my friend uses any of his three only adverbs: “legitly”; “mildly”; “legitly”.
When people talk seriously about Jesus Christ with their eyes closed. I’m trying to get over this one.

@aprilsimnel and @ItalianPrincess1217 my grandmother used to chew gum like a cow chewing its cud, as a result I find bad gum habits oddly comforting!

@RAWRxRandy ew, i totally feel you. the P word especially bothers me. idk. makes me feel gross, lol

oh yeah, in addition:

snoring
chewing with ones mouth open, especially when eating GRISSEL

Ah. forgot to mention a few:
“shit was so cash”
when people end every sentence with “and stuff” or use “like” every third word
pants sagging (seriously, I have to summon all of my strength of will not to pants these people).

calling vulva vagina, people saying “I seen”, the first scalpel cut, women talking about periods in a group with men, 2 different musics palying at the same time and I CAN’T GET AWAY!!!!!, a man calling another man a f*****g C**t What kind of insult is this when most men want to often be in one! oooh, there’s sooo many more!!

N-i-p-p-l-e, cool beans, and burns.

“Irregardless” does it for me, too. But worst of all, the “N word”. I live in West Virginia, and hear this far too often. :/

@augustlan what about all those stereotypes of West Virginians as being poor, backwards, white trash, racist coal miners?

Biting down on that dry towel the dentist puts between my teeth.

And everything else related to dental work.

@juniper I agree! How about having to spit in that funnel suction thing. Awkward.

GA@juniper

OMG @juniper speaking of dental work someone made me a cd of mostly techno songs and one of them started off with this sound that was exactly the sound a dentists drill makes. i dry heaved and shut it off immediately. i hate dental work SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Not cause it’s a bad show – I love it – but because they set up the awkwardness so well.

@holden Of course it’s not everyone that is a bigot here. Most probably aren’t… but it’s tolerated here, far too often. Hell, our state senator Robert Byrd is a former KKK member! BTW, this man is 3rd in line for the presidency. Now that makes me wince.

Huge fake tits and
screaming children
...and screaming children with fake tits;)

Mothers of screaming children who blithely carry on

yes @faye YES

@wildpotato

Yes! I enjoy it but the show makes me so uncomfortable.

something that makes me wince reflexively is a sharp poke in the ribs!

I agree with the p word and the c word but I also intensely dislike, boobs, boobies and any other derivative referring to breasts. I think it has something to do with the fact that a “boob” is another word for a jerk and then it annoys me to use the same word for a very important part of female anatomy.

The other one is vomiting in movies. I just don’t find it entertaining to watch someone spewing all over the place, even worse with appropriate sound effects. What is the point of showing this????

That’s my rant for the day, thank you for listening, heheheh!

The word, discharge. ugghhh
Watching someone pick out a splinter.
Watching someone fall down- hard.
Adults who scream like whiny toddlers.
Watching someone get punched in the face.
Anything having to do with Lady GaGa.

Racist jokes.
