Fingernails on a chalkboard

[Hazzard]

To me it's soggy bread. Have you ever been making a sandwich and laid the bread on the counter where there was a bit of water spilled then took a bite? God that turns my stomache just thinking about it. The texture of food is very important to me. Much more than the taste.
For all those who mentioned fingers on the chalkboard and the like, the cause is probably physical. I've read that the frequency causes your spine to vibrate sympathetically which makes you feel like the sound goes right through you. Has no effect on me though.

Leftists, socialists, collectivists, zealots, theocrats, gungrabbers, and other assorted human pollution are high on the annoyance index.

Mine is (and its kinda weird) handling bonded paper, I.E., a TV Guide or other magazine, with damp hands. Gives me the willies just thinking about it!

Whats yours?

Mine is similar to yours as I cant stand handling newspaper with dry hands. I have to apply lotion or lay it our flat on the table and lick my thumb and index finger before turning the page. Also scratching cardboard with my finger nails makes my skin crawl.

The super high pitch whine from a badly tuned CRT. If you ever find me beating on a television or an old-school monitor, I'm trying to make it stop.

It's like someone hooks a dog whistle up to an air compressor, turns it on, and shoves it through my nasal cavity into my brain.

I hear that sound all the time, even when there's no TV or monitor around.  It drives me nuts, but I've given up trying to stop it.

Being lectured by Shrillary. Can you imagine waking up to that?

Since I've done some work moving some drop ceiling tile around, I occasionally would get little bits in my mouth because I don't shut up.  But what comes to mind is actually chewing on a piece of the tile, because not only is it dry, it has that layer of aluminium foil stuff on the back.

You better learn to like it, comrade. It is for the children! Big Sister knows best and we are the village. All hail Commissar Hillary! Down with the dictatorship of capitalist bourgeois counter-revolutionary elements and other svolochi! Davai, davai!

crt360, you're talking about tinnitus I do believe. I have a little that comes and goes--I'm not exactly sure when it developed, but I think it came from driving the tractors in the fields.

Right.  I used to get it only occasionally, but now it's pretty constant in one ear.


Another thing that bugs me is gum on the sidewalk.  Why do so many people feel the need to spit their chewed gum where they know someone is going to step on it?

Well looky there, I'm not the only one! I used to get the strangest looks whenever they'd turn on those Commodore 64's in Junior High, and I'd be doing my Quasimodo imitation until they warmed up. The screens, the screens!

I hate needle scenes in movies or television, specifically addicts injecting heroin. It just makes me cringe.

Imagining a papercut....to the eyeball.

-Shudders-

[Perd Hapley]

Me too.  You should see me at one of those pre-deployment medical screenings.  It's just shameful.

Imagining a papercut....to the eyeball

 

You people are a bunch of woosies.  I've had a sliced eyeball-from a bedsheet, no less. I pulled the covers up over me and turned in bed at the same time.  Sliced my eyeball and had to go to the ER.  NOTHING has hurt worse before or since.  And I even had cancer surgery last year.  A neck dissection.  They took 50 lymph nodes and my sternocleidomastoid muscle.. You people had better hope you die young-otherwise you're in for some pain as you age. 

[Vile Nylons]

Slow speed dental drills, like in the good old days. There's an old Dustin Hoffman movie of torture by drill bit {Boys of Brazil ??} that I could not watch.    Snakes, rats and leftists.

Was it not the Marathon man and the
dentist was german ? 

[S. Williamson]

Stickiness, sweatiness from heat (not physical activity, though...), circular saws, CRT whine, and dry skin/ eyes.

Welcome to my hell.

I've got to say - me too. Can't watch it on TV. Real life isn't a problem, I routinely have intravenous stuff done, will watch that no troubles. I've had a skin slice taken from the under side of my upper eyelid, man leaning towards your eye with a scalpel is an unpleasant experience, but I made it.

Needles on TV though, makes me squeamish.

My only (discovered so far) real life squeam-inducer is kidneys. Something about them, not sure what it is.

[Perd Hapley]

Every once in a while, they'll show a character on TV/movies shooting up between his toes, to hide the needle marks.  As veteran of several operations on ingrown toenails, I can tell you that such injections are NOT pleasant.
