What really odd things creep you out
I can't stand looking at people ears, especially the ear hole. Personally I don't think most people do the proper cleaning to keep their ears clean.

3. I'm 3 for 3 on this thread so far

I don't care for lipstick on the edge of drinking glasses or coffee mugs. I'm well aware that people put their mouths on the edge of drinking vessels, I just hate having to handle or wash them when they have lipstick imprints or smears. Ewwwww!

Oddly enough, though, a stray hair in my food at a restaurant doesn't bother me a bit.

5. Bad teeth. Bad teeth make my skin crawl.
Edited on Wed May-04-11 04:36 PM by Zephie
I'm no saint when it comes to oral hygiene myself but when you can tell someone doesn't even make an effort and probably hasn't for years... It really makes me shudder. I don't care if your teeth are yellowed or snaggly, but then you see people who's teeth look like the ones in the link below (not posted as a photo for the squeemish like me). Even looking up an example photo made me flip out a bit. I have nightmares frequently about the idea of my teeth looking like that and then falling out.

8. I was thinking of this the other day ...
Edited on Wed May-04-11 05:38 PM by Arugula Latte
A few things:

- Golf clothes and anything related to golf
- If there are too many red brick buildings in an area. One or two isolated ones among different buildings is okay; but I find lots and lots of red brick depressing.
- Churches. They all make my skin crawl. Everything about them -- the smell, the look, the creepy Jesusy art, their mission, everything.

34. A couple others:
- Dolls. Someone mentioned them downthread. Yes. Creepy, with very few exceptions.
- Anything having to do with joint or bone injuries. Gaaah! Just thinking about that makes my stomach feel woozy.

10. FEET!
FEET! FEET! FEET!

One day I was at a baseball game in Kansas City (The Royals of course) and this dude was seated alongside of me, and he kept putting his Flip-Flop wearing FEET up on the seat in front of him.
Yellow, gnarly, WAY too fucking long gross toenails, toes hairy and filthy and nasty, and FUCK DUDE! put your ugly ass feet down you're gonna make me fucking puke.
He looked at me like he was going to kick my ass, and then I stood up and he saw I was 6'4" and like 260 and he was MAYBE 5'8" and a buck eighty.
He moved to another seat somewhere.

Women's feet are always a hit or miss thing.
A well maintained and pedicured foot on a well groomed woman, can be a thing of beauty.
And then, there are women who have what's basically a freaking radial tire with snow spikes attached to their ankles.

My favorite FEET line!

Alec Baldwin on SNL as Tony Bennett on the "Tony Bennett" show.

"I took my baby shoe shopping, she took off her shoe and her toes looked like a lined up row of BBQ Frito's"!

33. I'm down with that. What is with all of the flip flops on guys?
Guys, no offense -- but no one wants to see your nasty ass feet.

I heard a comedian on the radio talking about this and he said, "Yeah, dude -- I know you STAND in water when you take a shower, but that's not the same thing as WASHING YOUR FEET!!"

20. Dolls. Hate their dead-eyed little asses. And Palmetto bugs.

22. I am SO there with you about those freaking bugs.
I live in Florida, they have a major installation here.
They are virtually indestructible.
I have caught one running across the floor and literally SMASHED them into a bloody bug pulp with a shoe, and they still move.
Shit, I once cut one in half (in a amazing ninja like move) with a kitchen knife, and one half of that fucker took off one way, and the other half of that fucker took off the other way.

When I kill them I want them to suffer so horribly, that their friends will all say...
"I ain't fucking with THAT dude".

25. You gotta use lighter fluid
Squirt them and then light the trail. Of course, your household insurance probably won't pay up once the arson investigation is over, but you won't have any more palmetto bugs or cockroaches in your house.

39. I hate how they run UNDER your feet as you walk!
I am not a great dancer but I can walk on air when one of those suckers seems determined to commit suicide under my foot.

Grew up on the Gulf Coast, so I know where you're coming from. Bastards are everywhere!

37. Palmetto bugs
Aren't those the same things as Asian cockroaches? Hate 'em!

I lived in Taiwan and they were ALL over the place. The only thing worse was waking up to rat tooth marks in the soap.

30. Oh God, yes. With one exception.
Our bathroom has extremely poor insulation, and we live in northern Minnesota. If you leave the shampoo bottle in the tub (which is built into an exterior wall) in, say, January, the shampoo will freeze. It can get to 50 or so in the bathroom during a cold spell. So if Mr. Brickbat -- and ONLY Mr. Brickbat, not the children -- happens to warm up the seat before I go in there of a morning, I'm OK with that.

I HATE HATE HATE warm seats in public restrooms. Disgusting. I also hate sitting in office chairs that other people have gotten up out of, so they're warm.
