It's pretty simple. What grosses you out? What makes you squeamish? It could be anything; anything, that is, that pertains to the forum rules. So, you know. Don't go saying that a minority group gross you out or anything.

Myself? I'm an emetophobe. I can't be near vomit. Pictures and video I can stand, but if I come across anyone being sick, or just some random puke, my instinct is like 'OMG RUN NOW.' I'm completely incapable of being near it, I get shaky, sweaty, queasy, erratic, even dizzy. Example, the other week, some guy stumbled off the bus and was noisily sick at the stop I get on at. I had to shove some old woman out the way so I could get out of what I term 'pukezone,' pay for my ticket, rush to my seat, pull my hood up, put my music on and shut my eyes for a few minutes.

Tasteful, I know.

That is so mean! You're like an anti-Boy Scout.

Me, I'm very squeamish, I CANNOT dissect anything without puking. Also, spiders creep me out.

--------------------

eh?

Cheetos. Cheetos disgust me like no other thing. Although i'm also sickeningly disgusted by both fritos and doritos.

The mere aroma of them is enough to his my gag reflex, and I find both nausea, and teary eyes setting in as I try to hold it back.

Spiders kill me, personally. I lose all circulation in my legs, start sweating profusely, and just stare at it for awhile before either a) I find some HUGE boot with which to step on it, or I somehow find a way around it. Spider webs have the same effect, just much less of a degree.

That's the main thing. I also can't cut anything thing open. Like, disecting, not like seeding a pepper. There's just something about gutting a once-living creature that I don't like.

Drunk people and people smoking. I cant' stand them both. Maybe the people smoking can be persuaded into stopping, but the drunks are just dreadful. They can't control what they are doing and the image of those people laughing loudly and nonsensely is terrible.
When I was a kid, my neighbors used to sit and drink in front of the apartment I used to live in. I was really scared because I thought they could cause some sort of damage to my family so I am disgusted by drunken people since then.
I don't like people smoking since I have weak lungs. It is enough with the smog from the cars...

Some things I don't like, tastefully designated with minus signs.

-pornography
-sexually suggestive behavior or speech
-FFVII fan-n00bs
-people who claim usng one tiny piece of 'evidence' that Metroid: Zero Mission is a prequel to Metroid 1 (while neglecting the wealth of information proving that it isn't)
-arrogant people, especially ones who think that might makes right
->and in that vein, 'inside jokes' that arrogant, cliquish people use to make outsiders feel rejected from 'the inner circle'
-false conservatives (especially ones currently serving in the Bush administration)
-people who spam their own religion upon others (having a religion is fine. just don't force it onto others.)
-sketchy fratboys
-generally annoying behavior (such as people refusing to throw out moldy clothes long ago soiled in a food fight)
-pointless violence (a prime example being Counter-Strike)
-hateful discrimination against other races because of a perception that they are 'inferior' in some way

I have few things that disgust me, I generally accept people as they are flaws and all. After all, it's not like I'm perfect, and expect no other to be so...but there are a few things that I cannot abide.

-Cruelty to animals (I part own a rescue, what'd you expect?)
-There's Something About Miriam (Only Brits'd know this one...)
-Racism/Bigots
-Fish (As animals, fine, they rock, but I can't eat the stuff, makes me vomit)

The Arcana are the means by which ALL is revealed.

-Cruelty to animals
-smoking
-MCDONALDS AND WALMART(may both companies burn in eternal torment)
-facism
-socialists who claim to be liberals (Rosie O'donnell)(even though both are on the same side of the political spectrum there is a fine line between socialist and liberal)
-people who say they hate america, but still live here
-people who believe they're fat because of genetics, even though they eat fast food every day(and other crap that's harmful to your body)

We're talking about yucky-disgusting here, right? Think of the tendencies of socialism or fratboy behavior as you like, but I can hardly imagine anybody finding them gross.

The Collapse of Heaven and Earth

Politicians. And tapioca pudding. No doubt a politician covered in tapioca pudding would force me to choke on my own dry heaves.

Oh, and capsule or tablet form medication. Dunno why, but simply touching pills makes me gag. Plus looking at a full bottle of 'em literally causes me to feel ill. I can't decide if that baseless disgust is more or less pathetic than my fear of helium balloons...

Forgot a biggie: Accidentally stepping on (or otherwise crushing) a large insect, particularly a beetle or roach. That wet cracking/popping sound it makes...is...just...erg...

Maggots...need I explain why?

Mold, too...it's all furry and blotchy and the stench is usually enough to make me gag.

Then there's smoking...up until I began living on me own 5 years ago, I had always lived in a household with heavy smokers and now the crap gives me headaches, blah...

Here's another I jest remembered: soda bottles filled with chewing tobacco spit, ugh...I used to have roommates who would leave those disgusting things scattered all about the apartment for future reuse.

The most nausiating things are, for me:

The feel of wet, soggy toiletpaper.

Clear plastic cups being used as tobacco juice spitcups. Steve-o drank from one of these once, and I puked in front of the TV.

Coke cans being used as ashtrays. I drank from one of these by accident once.... ralphed my guts out.

Human roadkill victims. Guts squirting out every hole of one's body is nassy.

I've become very desensitized in the past few years. I used to be terrified of spiders, but now they don't bother me one bit anymore. Apart from that, there is one thing that truly grosses me out: decaffeinated coffee. Whoever came up with that is stupid. It's like dehydrated water: an oxymoronic conept in itself. I mean... coffee without caffeine? And it tastes sickening, too. On a related note, I always drink my coffee black, and absolutely hate it any other way (unless it's one of those "fancy" coffees, but eh.) My mother made me coffee once and put about a pinch of sugar in it. Not only could I tell before even swallowing the first sip, I thought it tasted horrible. Don't mess with a programmer's coffee. It's bad for your health.

Seeing as the thread seems to be branching in another direction as well, stuff that annoys people, I'd have to add a few things to my own list.

- The damned people in the building across from mine who play the SAME christian rock song ("Jesus is~ a~ winner! A~ winner!") over and over loudly until 9 PM. Not loud enough to be disturbing enough for people to do something about it, but enough to be clearly heard unless I shut the window and balcony doors. My god, if I hear anything about Jesus one more time, I'm going to go over there with my own bible. The massive 1200+ page C++ bible on my desk, that is. I'll introduce their stereo to it.

- Uptight people. And people who are TOO loose and laid back. Someone who'll blow a gasket over nudity in something ("OMG I CAN SEE A NIPPLE YOU SICK MAN!") makes me wonder why the gene pool won't clear up any faster. But someone who just doesn't care (At all. Ever.) isn't any better. I think either one's just as worse. In the words of the patch of mildew on my bathroom tiles, "Relax. You'll live longer."

- Fanboys. Not the kind who love something, but the kind who go along with something because it's cool to do so. Popular examples are plentiful: "LOL M$ IS EVIL!", "Windows crashes often!", "Anime is cool!", etc. Also, various stereotypical subcultures, such as goths and emos. Really. Get a life. People who take the internet too seriously, as well. If you can get more worked up over the internet than IRL stuff, you have deep problems that require immediate attention. Seek help. Now. And for crying out loud, unplug that wire connecting your computer to the inter-web.

- The patch of mildew in my bathroom. I don't like taking advice from mildew.

Do you mean bad for the programmer, or bad for you?

Public bathrooms. Mainly the smell of them and the sight of those brown spotted, unflushed toilets makes me want toblow chunks all over the walls. I avoid those places at all costs, even if it means pee-ing in a bush or something.

Used Condoms. It seems to be just my luck that whenever I do use public bathrooms, or let's say if I go on the ferris wheel at the local amusement park, there will always be at least one used condom on a seat, on the floor...just somewhere. It drives me nuts. It's just downright gross in every sense of it. I found one once, in a water fountain at a park. That's just sick.

Black Label Beer. Probably the most disgusting drink I have ever tasted, in my life. I've drank it three times in my life and each time, I threw up everywhere from the gross-ness of it.

People who just constantly smell like B.O., you know, that's just sheer lazyness. A quick shower before you go outside would save you (or everyone else, rather) from that mighty gag-inducing smell. I'm not talking about that after-a-sports game smell either, that's tolerable. I mean the "I-haven't-showered-in-three-weeks-and-play-with-pigs-all-day" smell. It's horrible.

--------------------

Okay, but there was a goat!

Bell peppers. I throw up when I get near 'em.

Arts

Twarts

1) Arrogance (though everyone has a little bit I reckon....)
2) Bullies
3) People who don't think before they talk... ever.
4) Inconsiderate people.
5) People who smoke, swear and drink alcohol simultaneously.
6) People who don't have an open mind and take all constructive critisism as an insult.
7) Then there's those people who insult (particularly offensively) you and then have too much pride to apoligise. They then pretend they have no idea they've done anything wrong (they act very poorly). And of course they still want to be friends, erm no (or perhaps someone to insult)... anyone know what I mean? Obviously I never talk to them again, I only consider doing so if they make a decent apology that sounds genuine...

A few of the things people have mentioned in their above posts.

The media and politicians... so many lies, I really don't know what's true and what isn't, so now I pretty much stay out of it all.

Hmm, negative thread here, need a positive one now..

--------------------

'Let that be a lesson to all oppressive vegetable sellers.'

- Maggots
- Mouldy food
- The sight of anything coming out of a person's nose
- People eating certain bizarre things (particularly if those things came from the person's nose)
- The image of a person being executed (especially by modern 'humane' methods like lethal injection), even if it's just a dramatization, makes me physically ill
- Rotting dead things
- Finding things like bugs or hairs in food, especially if I've already started eating it

I am freaking terrified of spiders, we're talking run-and-hide here.

Anything human dying. Life going out of something, just the thought makes me sick and depressed.


Emo Kids. Wow, "I have no real problems, but I like to make believe, the way i dress makes every day seem like halloween...You can be a nonconformist too if you look just like me!"

Peas, oh man I almost puked earlier at lunch. Just a big pile sitting there smelling up the whole dining hall. Why does brocolli get such a bad rap? Peas are so much worse!

--------------------

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

-Atmosphere "Always Coming Back Home to You"

#1: Animal Cruelty. You have just to visit this site , and go to the photo gallery to understand why.

#2: Bathroom Humor. Just no.

#3: Massive amounts of any sort of insect. Tent worms, Maggots etc. Something about hundreds apon hundreds of writhing, slimy creatures give me the jibblies... Go figure.

#4: Human... Fluids... I think that explains itself thouroughly.

#5: Having dry dirt or flour on my hands, or wearing latex gloves that leave a powdery feeling on your hands. 100% guarentee gag inducer.

I grew up in the bad part of America so nothing really grosses me out(let's just say rotten.com had a little help with this)but there are a few things that disgust me...

-Little Children cursing.Like I said I grew up in the bad part of America,But this really irritates me,it's not just the fact that these are little kids(i'm talking about 4-12 year-old kids!)but the big swear words they have learned (like motherf*****,S.O.B,etc.),it really disgust me,it makes me wish someone would care to what they are saying.

-Animal Abuse.Self-explanatory.

-Being helpless to animal abuse.This has happened before,especially when you try to tell the person to stop,they continue,it really disgust me when you hear the struggle (cat hissing,dog barking,mouse/hamster sqeak,etc.)it makes me want to beat the guy up(just so you know i've seen a chicken be beheaded before,not a pretty sight )

-Rotten Food/Garbage Water.Okay so maybe there are somethings i'm not used to yet ,i'm probably never gonna get used to it.

Good point, I am disgusted with the parents who simply think this is acceptable. It should be made illegal for some people to have kids... maybe that sounds extreme and silly but seeing what these children turn in to is just... wrong.

'Let that be a lesson to all oppressive vegetable sellers.'

What really pisses me off is when just-met high schoolers in cars flip me off in the window. Stupid pussies.. I also hate immature children who think they're all perfect yet they talk s***. And I really hate when they talk racism for no good reason but being pissed off.

..Silly kids, Trix are for me.
