  • Dry, dirty hands after working in the garden. I mean dry.

    Sharp Scrape of utensil on plate.

    A thick seam on socks at the toes.

    Too-tight clothing.

    Repetitive noise.

    Sometimes people chewing. Or talking around chewing.

  • Loud low frequency noise. So cars, leaf blowers, lawn mowers.

    I generally don't like people touching me. Even with my wife it can be a little upsetting depending on the duration.

  • Stickiness anywhere on my body, but it most often happens when I eat something sticky with my hands like a caramel or something.

    Having something stuck between my teeth.

  • Where do I even start? The one that affects me most is that I absolutely can't stand wearing any pants at all.

    I hate the texture of all sorts of porridge and oatmeal with a flaming passion. Wearing a coat indoors for more than five seconds makes me want to punch something. When you're at a beach, come out of the water, and your feet are covered in sand. (bonus points if you're trying to put shoes on)

    Sandpaper. Dry skin. Dry clay on my skin. A lot of plastic things. Body hair touching me. Dry lips. Sleeves that are too tight around the armpits. Neon colors. Those fucking bright lights that look like they're made for the purpose of blinding people. Flashing lights. The sound of people chewing or even swallowing loudly. Nearly all beeping sounds.

    • I have questions.

      1. Pants - Do you also not like wearing any shorts? If you don't have any problems wearing shorts, then how long does a short have to be to stop being a short and start annoying you?
      2. Porridge - What about macaroni or chilli ? Do you know that jelly thing with bits of fruit chunks in it? What about that? What happens if your cereal gets too soggy?
      3. Coats - Do you live in a warm/humid region? How do you cope with winters when it gets cold? Does a sweater feel different than a coat?
      4. I'm with you on the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing.
      5. Sandpaper is supposed to be irritating. But is there any correlation between your thing against Sandpaper & the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing?
      6. Dry skin? Is it because it reminds you of Sandpaper or sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach ?
      7. Dry clay - again, is it correlated to the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing ?
      8. Plastic things? Like plastic things just existing & minding their own business or plastic things that touch your skin or the ones that you're in contact with? What about the kind used in hospitals for IV fluids? Or the so-called BPA free that is used in takeaway containers or food storage?
      9. Body hair touching you - WHOSE body hair? Your own body hair or somebody else's body hair? Does it remind you of wearing a coat? What do you do when you are trying to get physically intimate with someone? Do you avoid the hairy body parts? Aren't they the most fun?
      10. Tight sleeves around the armpits - yeah, I can imagine that. Now I don't want to imagine it anymore.
      11. Neon colours? - okay. To each their own.
      12. Yes, people using those bright lights should have Gorilla Glue put in their eyes.
      13. Flashing lights - Do you also not like the small twinkling fairy lights? What about blinking festival lights? Do you also not like any flashing traffic lights? Do you ignore flashing traffic lights?
      14. Eating or chewing loudly is a sign that you were not loved as a child. I'm with you on this.
      15. Beeping sounds - what do you plan to do when you have to be in a hospital? Say you have to visit the dentist & there are beeping sounds from their machines, you'll have to bear the beeping sounds along with your toothache.

  • Nail filing, chalk on chalk boards, using the eraser on chalk boards

  • Many many things! Notably though: having anything on my hands (I cook and bake by stocking paper towels and an empty sink and reminding myself constantly I can stop and wash at any time), anything too tight clothing wise (this is so much stuff it sucks), strong perfumes, the scent of peanut butter, feeling a glass that has not been cleaned (it feels ugly)

  • I don't like handling anything most people would call soft and fluffy. Such as the fuzzy coats.

    Cotton is fine, animals are fine. It's the material that I find becomes grippy for my dry skin.

  • -Oil/butter on the cap or outside of the bottle/container it's in. I don't want to feel the oil when turning the cap or opening the container.
    -Spaces that ventilate so hard the air feels dry and just makes you thirsty (most retail spaces).
    -New car headlights that might as well be your brights.
    -Standing in shower water. I need that water to flow down the drain.. if it starts backing up, I'm not showering. I'm cleaning out the drain.
    -How to describe this.. my feet in the winter will be cold without socks, but with socks they tend to get warm enough to sweat which then makes them cold and now wrapped in a sock. There's no winning.

  • E L A S T I C \ I N \ M Y \ S O C K S
    this makes sock shopping immensely difficult

    • For me it's seams in my socks, like right across the toe, and then that shit bunches up inside my shoe if I don't put it n right and it makes me nuts

  • Bass(Musical bass), the sound of metal cutlery scrapping against themselves, and the "sss" sound that seems exaggerated for sleep related podcasts.
