What makes you guys cringe? I have a friend who will throw up if he touches or eats the white part underneath the skin of an orange. He'll leave the room if I start peeling an orange around him.

Some things that make me cringe off the top of my head:
-Laying ON TOP of certain fleece/fuzzy blankets. I can be covered with them no problem, can't lay on top of them. These types of pillows are THE WORST
-Touching certain synthetic fabrics (makes my skin crawl). I'm trying to find an example of what I mean
-The moments leading up to getting blood drawn. I'm mostly fine before, during, and after. I'm talking about the minute or two when the nurse starts preparing the needle/syringe. I get really anxious, just stick me already
-Papercuts (I have to rub my fingertips together just thinking about it)
-Stretch marks
-Any joggers that aren't sweatpant material
-Missing teeth or fingernails. Also when people have their fingernails cut so short they start like growing into their skin
-Scrambled eggs by themselves. Fine in a burrito, but if I have to eat scrambled eggs by themselves I end up just chewing and chewing forever. I have a really hard time swallowing them
-People who do their own freestyles while songs are playing
-When people have things TOO organized. I'll mess your **** up if you're gonna be anal about something moving a centimeter
-Face tattoos
-Selfie sticks
-Girls who ask if you're in a fraternity
-CHALKBOARD SCRATCHING
 
  • - dry skin
  • - when my girl gets hair all over the bathroom
  • - people who don't store their toothbrushes away. I keep a cap on mine and put it away out of sight in the bathroom
  • - when guys get food in their beards. Wash ya face, b
  • - blowing your nose at the dinner table/around people eating, coughing and not covering your mouth, sneezing and not turning your head
  • - looking at animals while I eat. Something weird about looking at animals while I eat that ruins my appetite. Can't really explain why
  • - eating bananas without chopping them up first. Got this weird thing about that. Just don't like it. Not a good visual.
  • - people who type freestyle lyrics on youtube instrumentals
  • - people who take hobbies/sports too far, or are too emotionally invested in them to the point where they ruin the fun. Its just entertainment. Breathe, fam.
  • - people who talk loud on the phone in public. Especially when its some ratchet convo, or something that you should be talking about in private on your own time. Not while we're in line at target. IDGAF about how you don't like _________, or how the manager suspended you because he wants you to quit, or how your baby momma and your moms don't get along. Shut the hell up and move up in line.

For the first one. I asked my roommate if he wanted to play some co-op survival in a FPS last night and he said, literally, "I've already been stressed out enough at work today, I don't need the added stress, you yelled at me a little when I died and we failed the mission last time" Felt bad man, it wasn't malicious, but I've gotta relax a little.

For the second one, this makes me cringe too. There's a woman in my apartment building who is always on the phone whenever I see her talking loud just like this. I think it's an insecurity/social anxiety thing. Add the cats that play music from speakerphone and/or sing lyrics in the metro.

- Skin on peaches. It feels disgusting to me :x :lol:

- Messy rooms. I'm talking literally dirty rugs with crumbs and lint and candy wrappers and tissues lying by the trash instead of in the trash.

- Wet garbage all over the sidewalk. Its gross when it rains man...

- Split tongues.
 
- getting your socks wet from walking into kitchen or bathroom literally makes my skin crawl

- feet. Like other peoples feet near me or on me or anyone touching my feet

- drinking anything other than coffee out of a ceramic mug or coffee mug
 
When someone is cutting food with a fork and knife and they try to cut through the plate

I have a story that will make anyone cringe...

SOOO

I was pet sitting for my old roommate while he and his girl went to a wedding one weekend. Walking his dog down the hallway of my apartment complex to go outside. She stopped and squatted like she was about to poop right there on the hallway carpet. I yanked her collar to get her to keep coming with me but she wasn't having it, she had to go. I saw the turtle head poke out, and I did the only thing I could think of at the time...

Wow this is a good one. I have to change my socks immediately everytime this happens.

Also, stop drinking coffee. It's a disgusting habit man.

Why is your kitchen wet? I can understand bathroom, sometimes you've got to leave the crib and just hopped out the shower and got ready and don't have time to dry up the water you got all over the place....



But why the kitchen? Unless you just mopped in there or something?

I thought I was the only one.

I see dudes rocking jogger jeans and chinos and it just reminds me of these fat twins in my high school back in the 70s. They were so fat that there pants had to have elastic around the waist and cuffs and just like the current trend.

Do you even kitchen bro? There's a sink in the kitchen. Hands are constantly washed while preparing food/cooking, water and other liquids are in constant measurement, mixing and spilling sometimes. Ex. fill pot with water for pasta over sink, transfer to stove, some might spill out. Ex. rinsing dishes then transferring to dishwasher, some spillage. It happens.

Add pinrolled jeans to the list. Stop that. You look like a toddler.

Right, I usually take care not to spill liquids. Probably because my kids run in & out I take extra care not to let liquids just chill on the floor.

Ah right, my 4 year old pours himself water as well.



I also stand there and make him clean it up if he spills any :lol:.
 
The sound two pieces of Styrofoam makes when they rub together...I hate it..
 
When 5:30 hits and that one co-worker is out the door no matter if you are in the middle of something (with them, mind you) that he/she needs to address.
 
Reading the stuff in this thread and then thinking about them happening in real life is making me cringe.
