Every one has oddities

I love cheese but I can't stand touching it.

I can't bear touching carpets, or watching people touch them.

I am not alone. What are yours?

Can't stand people clicking their teeth. Hhhhhhnnnnnnggggg.

That's certainly an "oddity". Is it just bare-feet?

Same, people rubbing their hands on carpet, or rough surfaces in general, makes me feel sick.

Can't sit with my back to a door or to other people. I get really agitated if I have to.

The thought of touching course sandpaper makes me want to vomit..
Touching course sandpaper makes me want to fling it across the room and I get a bit violent.

This but with cardboard and polystyrene. Shiver running down my spine thinking about it. The sound felt tip pens make as well, eugh.

I once went to an italian restaurant and drunk a bottle of blasmic vinegar.

You bunch of weirdos

Poached egg, fried egg, scrambled egg, boiled egg and soldiers.. OM NOM Bloody nom, love the stuff..

Hard boiled egg = vomit

That's about the only thing I can think of

I can't touch sponges when my nails are short/just cut, it feels so weird and sends shivers down my spine! Pretty much goes for anything foamy.

When in a car I have to be able to have the dash-clocks (speedo etc) in my line of sight. If I sit in the seat directly behind the driver so that my view is blocked I feel sick to the point of retching.

Bizarrely though I can use public transport and not have this issue.

Not sure if it really counts as an oddity (the court of public opinion will decide) but I'll offer salmon. I like fresh salmon, but I absolutely cannot stand the taste of tinned salmon. Tinned tuna is good, but there's nothing worse than biting into a mystery sandwich and wanting to spit it out when it turns out to be the evil spawn of Satan generally known as tinned salmon.

Take a ride in a mini-bus and see what happens, I'm curious

Wires touching my hands when i am doing something.

People chewing sleeves/socks/cotton goes through me.

Thinking about scraping my teeth on bottom of a cup destroys me.

My cousin it literally terrified of stickers and i mean TERRIFIED.

You are not 'normal' why do you not assimilate?

Mine is I have to buy tons of bananas.

Clarkson · 4 Dec 2013 at 01:08

Not a phobia but if I see someone with watery eyes (maybe with a cold or something) it makes my eyes water

Or say if I saw someone put a contact lens in that would probably set me off as well. Damn annoying :mad:

Do you eat any of them?

Walking on a wet floor when I am bare footed, which someone else has stood on with their bare feet.

I can't use public swimming pools for this reason, and if my husband has used the shower before me I have to use a clean towel to dry the bottom of the shower and the bathroom floor first, and even then I wait half an hour before I use it.
