In other news, this THREAD kinda grosses me out! :lol:

Okay, okay.... mold. Ugh. Hate it. Also, I'm cool with other peoples' blood, but seeing my own blood? I have a tendency to pass out. Not sure if that's the "gross" factor or not, but I definitely think it's weird.

The Japanese have an aversion to blowing their noses in public. I fucking HATE the cold season here when I have a half a dozen students sucking up nose oysters that are about to drop on the desk. Judging by the intensity of the snorts (this cannot be passed off as "sniffling") I would postulate that if one of those bad boys landed, the National Guard would be mobilized for flood control. I subtly encourage blowing by presenting the offenders with a box of tissues. It would be ruder for them to refuse a tissue from the teacher and discreetly blow than to keep "sniffing."

Lots of the things mentioned here gross me out. One no-one has mentioned so far is...kefir. The smell, the appearance, and then the taste! Just thinking about it makes me want to puke. Kefir is disgusting.

i'm perfectly fine with most of the stuff in this thread, but what freaks me out completely is garage sales. i can't stand them and will cross the street when walking to avoid them. it disgusts me to think about people digging through all the useless crap that has been collecting dust, mold and grime for the past decade in the corner of someone's garage, attic or storage shed.

eggs. NEVER eat scrambled, fried or omelette eggs without ketchup. never. Oh you can add tobasco, or A1 or HP sauce, but ketchup is the binder that ties.

Grilled Cheese sandwiches. One of the few foods that require both mayo & ketchup

French Fries: see grilled cheese.

onion rings: use K as a dip. so as to not cool down the rings. You need to have that burn mark on the chin, when the onion slides out of the coating. Which is why Burger King rings suck.

Hamburgers & Hotdogs: obviously, but not sausages, unless they are breakfast pork sausages...

KD: AKA Kraft Dinner, AKA mac & cheese. Do it. Use the K.

Potato chips: you don't add ketchup to these, you buy them with ketchup flavour. That's right Chips with the K!

If you don't find this gross, you wont find anything gross. It seems that us Canuckians are second to the Finns in the consumption of this fine tomato pate:

Heinz Says Thank You Canada for 100 Years click to show

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 21 (MARKET WIRE) --
Editors Note: Two photos for this release will be available via
Marketwire on the picture wire of The Canadian Press

The love affair between Canadians and their ketchup dates back to 1909
when Henry John Heinz opened his first Canadian production facility in
Leamington, Ontario. Today, behind Finland, Canadians consume more
ketchup than anyone else in the world. In fact, the average Canadian
consumes 2.5 litres of ketchup annually.

In honour of its 100th anniversary and to thank Canadians for 100 years
of support, Heinz has created The Great Canadian Heinz Ketchup Cake-the
perfect dessert for any celebration. It is unexpectedly red, perfectly
spiced, and totally delicious; giving it the taste of carrot cake without
all the work.

"We all think of ketchup as the perfect complement to hotdogs, hamburgers
and fries, but its unique taste makes ketchup an ideal flavour enhancer
for many recipes including desserts," explains Amy Snider, PHEc. and
Culinary Nutritionist. "Heinz Ketchup not only adds great flavour to the
cake, but it also creates a wonderfully moist texture."

In addition to this easy and delicious crowd pleasing dessert recipe,
Heinz is giving Canadians the chance to win $25,000 in cash or one of 100
instant win Broil King BBQs from now until August 31st with the Heinz
Ketchup Fan of the Century contest. Canadians are asked to enter at
Heinzitup.com and in 100 words or less explain why they are the biggest
Heinz Ketchup fan of all time.

"Canada is an integral part of the Heinz story and we are proud to be
celebrating 100 years of manufacturing in this country," says Peter Luik,
Heinz Canada President & CEO. "We are grateful to Canadians for their
loyalty over the years and want to show our thanks with this innovative
recipe and exciting contest opportunity."

Great Canadian Heinz Ketchup Cake

2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) ground cinnamon
1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each ground nutmeg and ginger
1/2 cup (125 mL) Heinz Tomato Ketchup
1/2 cup (125 mL) water
2 tbsp (30 mL) red food colouring
3/4 cup (175 mL) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs

Frosting:
6 oz (175 g) brick-style cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (175 mL) butter, softened
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
4 cups (1 L) icing sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch
(23 cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

Stir the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and
ginger into a bowl. Stir the ketchup, water and colouring in a separate
bowl. Set aside.

Beat the butter and blend in the sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat
in the eggs. Add the flour mixture and ketchup mixture. Beat on low,
scraping down the bowl as needed, until combined. Increase the speed to
medium-high and beat for 1 minute. Divide the batter evenly between the
prepared pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until the centre springs back when
touched lightly. Cool the cakes for 15 minutes before turning onto a rack
to cool completely.

Frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla on medium speed for 2
minutes or until smooth. Gradually beat in the sugar on low, scraping the
bowl as needed. Beat on high until fluffy. Frost between the cake layers
and over the sides and top of the cake. Makes 12 servings.

That was one tasty post, Leto, though I'm pretty sure my SO would kill me if I tried to make a ketchup cake.

I can't imagine scrambled eggs without ketchup!

Ketchup on eggs is an abomination. AN ABOMINATION. The only substance that should be allowed near eggs is black pepper.

That said, phlegm/spit really grosses me out. Poo? Nope. Vomit? Gross, but I can handle it. Seeing someone spit on the sidewalk? I'll probably toss my cookies.

Cirrhotic (sp?) drunk old man piss grosses me out too.

SQUISHING BUGS AND THEN THE GUTS SPLURGE OUT AND EWWWWWWWWWWWW IT HAS WEIRD COLORED BLOOD OR SOMETHING OR THE GUTS ARE ALL VISIBLE.

That shit is grossssssssss.

:lol: No, no, those were totally separate feelings. The segueway wasn't perfect, there, I know. I was intrigued about your lip talents, really.

Attention: Change of thought process: Ewwwww, ketchup flavored potato chips? I love ketchup, but that's pushing it a bit too much.

I cannot watch a video of a person falling down or otherwise getting hurt if their legs/arms bend in strange ways.

Also, feet.

kefir grains are a combination of yeast and bacterias that look like a clump of decaying, smelly cauliflower. When placed in milk it makes the milk ferment and can even turn it into yoghurt. It grows in the milk, like a living thing. The smell and taste are sour, sharp, and piquant. I find the stench of kefir when it gets up my nostrils revolting. Never mind the taste. I had it for a time because I was told it's really good to balance your digestive system. But I couldn't take it...it was disgusting.

This is a bit obscure, but if you're nauseous and need to puke to feel better, buy some canned asparagus. My mother used to make this as a vegetable with dinner when I was a kid. I would gag every time I would be forced to put a bite in my mouth. The consistency and taste is like chewing on a boiled caterpillar. From that point on, I thought I hated asparagus until I had it steamed or sauteed in butter with some lemon juice. I absolutely love it that way.

I KNOW! It's like mashed potatoes and gravy. It just...belongs there, y'know? I also used to put ketchup on mac-n-cheese, until a totally grossed out Mrs. O'Rights put an end to that. But scrambled eggs? Thay absolutely must have ketchup.

I never understood the ketchup and eggs...actually that's something else that grosses me out: eggs with ketchup.

If anything, eggs could use one or more of the following: hot sauce, salsa, or hollandaise sauce.

Failing that, eggs should be eaten plainly with an optional sprinkling of fresh ground black pepper.

Ketchup? That's a travesty.

Speaking of scrambled eggs... they're gross! Wiggly and slimy, no thanks. They gross me out whether they have ketchup on them or not, especially if they're runny or watery.

Then they're not done. Many many years ago, when I worked at McDonald's (back when the McBrontoburger was still on the menu) I worked the breakfast shift. I was always getting into trouble because they wanted me to serve up the scrambled eggs..."moist". I contended that they were not moist...they were slimy and undercooked. Aparantly, the theory was that the eggs continued to cook under the heat lamps.

As an aside, one day I guess I just cracked one egg too many at McDonald's. It was years before I could even think about eating an egg.

I can't believe I forgot this.

SLUGS.

They disgust me. One summer, I had a bunch of elephant ears planted in my front bed. Anytime I'd go outside at night, the fuckers were EVERYWHERE. *shudder* They were eating up my elephant ears. I went online to learn how to get rid of them. Apparently, they're attracted to beer. Pour beer in a dish or whatever (I used paper plates,) and they crawl in the plate and drown / dissolve in the beer, as the beer has salt in it. I did this one night, and one night only. When I woke up the next morning, I had plates full of slug mush everywhere. Like, 10-15 dissolved slugs in every plate. It was the nastiest shit ever.

So I don't have elephant ears in the ground anymore. I'm trying them in pots this year.

Flies. I fucking HATE flies.
I came home today and one of the cats had gotten upset and pooed on the floor.
My entire apartment was swarming with big, black flies. I have no idea how they got in.
The way that they rub their little front legs together and spit on everything...
They FREAK me out.

Pepto-Bismol. I dry heave just watching that stuff being poured.

Dirty, mildewy, moldy tubs or showers.

Pro tip: If you see black crap or pink goo, it's past time to clean. ugh.

Sandpaper faces.:no: The way guys faces feel with the currently fashionable two or three days growth of beard. They think they look so hot --just makes me want to run the other way.:grumpy:

Lindy

Pregnancy
Bodily functions
People who announce it when theyr'e on the toilet or going to
People who think farting really nastily is funny

Ratman: I never thought of simply offering them some paper napkins...

Drove me crazy last time I was there.

Will need to remember that.

Hearing people chew/seeing people chew with mouth open. Like nails on a chalkboard to me. Always get stuck on the bus next to the dude who whips out a bag of Doritos and goes to town. Srsly?

The word "turd".

I don't know why, but it's worse than the actual thing.

Women who grow out their toenails.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2125/prettyfeet.gif

As well as dirty, crusty, nasty feet.

Clip your toenails.
Get the dirt out from underneath them.
Pumice / Ped Egg your heels.

If you don't have time to do this, then wear sneakers ffs.

Seriously.

Watching people eat grosses me out too. I stopped dating a guy because he chewed with his mouth open, talked while he ate, and food would fly everywhere when he ate. It was so disgusting.

I can not STAND hollandaise and I *HATE* making it. I can't stand the taste of eggs like that (I do eat some eggs, but rarely do I). The way it is made and the way it is kept on the line (If made at home is different from ordering it at a restaurant). Hollandaise will break if you keep it in the TSZ or 140+ degrees (temperature safety zone). If you reheat it, it will break... so most chefs that I worked with will keep it out of the heat wells off to the side. Half cooked eggs and being >100 degrees in a kitchen? HELLLLLO BACTERIA! *Shudder* I see people get that spooned onto eggs or fruit? I feel like I might barf.

Also deviled eggs and women who have hairy arm pits/legs. You have the right to do what you want with your body, but don't expect me to touch you.

The instant stuff holds much better. Too bad you lose so much quality...

HALX?

Edit:
Oh SNAP, i forgot that the thread title is "what grosses you out". When i wrote the above, I was thinking, "what scares you out".

so what grosses me out...
Inconsiderate doctors, animal having sex with human, roomate's hair (she shred alot during shower), dog eating rabbit poop

I've never used the instant stuff, hell I didn't know it existed, I'm guessing it's all chemicals and no eggs? Either way it looks like cheesy snot to me.

Jeremy, without a doubt.

He is the only person I know who believes mucus from the back of his throat is the best sexual lubricant. Ick.

In addition, when he had bronchitis and spitooned right there on the corner, aleviating himself of thick white gook, I suggested disgustedly that if that was the "cream of the crop" so to speak, why waste it? He replied he wasn't, he had bottles of the stuff around his bed, being too lazy to get up to spit. Ick.

Unfortunately, I believe him.

^^ Ohh my god ...

**cringes**

maggots
Cleaning up puke and diarrhea while my kids are sick
Oh ya Punk.of.Ages peeing and having sex on my porch.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

what grosses me out or what actually makes me choke a little barf back ?

I worked with a guy who's breath and sweat really made everyone gag, me included.
his sweat would cause steel to rust in minuets.

unwashed Tupperware that had tuna/mayo mix in it after a few days, that smell is a heavy hitter.

a long time ago, a friend brought over an instructional surgery video from his college..."anal reconstructive surgery" I spose it was a bit of a dare, we sat and watched it. we got to a point where I could figure out what the surgeon was going to do with the strand of muscle he detached from the back of the knee and pulled out of the leg. then I was starting to feel woozy, cold and clammy. I was gonna pass out if I hadn't turned it off.

needles gross me out. like an addict shooting up on tv or any scene where someone is injected....I can't watch.

my husbands crusty socks
EEWWWWWWWWWWWw

Ever ate a bowl of cereal or a cup of soup(something that requires a spoon) and halfway through your meal you notice a fly or roach doing a lifeless back stroke in your spoon mid cram, at which point you realize you have just eaten food that's been bathed in by a shit eating insect - yeah that makes me want to blow chunks, dead babies do too.
