Lobsters.

*shakes head*

Knowing that there is a thread of this nature really grosses me out. I can't read it, so I don't know what all of you are posting. But, I can imagine. And that is just too much for me.

Needles gross me out every time.

One of the things that truly grosses me out the most is cleaning what we call the "butt trays" at work. Basically when a bottle of beer comes back before it goes through a full wash it goes into the washer upside down and gets sprayed out so things inside fall out into a tray. The most common is cigarette butts. OLD cigarette butts, which are now WET old cigarette butts. It is truly the most revolting thing I have ever smelled. As a side note, don't put shit in your empty beer bottle. Put it where it belongs, in the garbage.

I'm confused I think.
Do you work at a recycling plant or something?

Nothing grosses me out. I watched 2girls1cup, BME pain olympics, etc. Sure I cringed, but it's not like I gagged. I have eaten live insects in the woods, drank lake water when I could see live clams just inches below the surface, held every manner of worm, grub and larvae (I am an entomologist) and many, many live roaches, scorpions, and today even a live, massive wasp. It was dying, that's why I was so brave with it ;)

Anyways, I have pics, if you would like to see the huge wasp. hehe.

I've had shit on me (wife's a vet; animals shit when scared), piss on me, barf...blood. Guts. Hell I ate cookies while I observed a C-section on a bulldog. Dog blood has a strange smell that permeates the room. Cookies were good though, and I was hungry.

I don't think I could eaten rotting flesh. That would most likely gross me out. That's about all I can think of though. As far as literally any day-to-day grossness, nope. Nothing.

I was a vet tech for a couple years. I was able to assist in a c-section on a massively obese bulldog. There were 12 puppies. So cute! But I wasn't bothered by that either. I assisted in quite a few vet surgeries, including my own cat's spaying.

I'm fascinated with blood, guts and death in general. Came very close to attending school to become a mortician but once I hit the orientation, I ran screaming. It was like a black, southern baptist church and I was the minority - right down to the 'Amen!' after someone spoke. That's the best way I can describe it. So I reserve my interests for a hobby more or less.

But I do still get grossed out by things - since I started up the thread and all lol.

Hehe, well here's a pic from earlier today. Sorry it's a bit fuzzy.

Another one, today as well. I stole her prize to feed my pond fish. Looking at her eye to eye while she sized me up (hovering in front of my face) was a little intimidating.

edit: One more. the cicada, before he was fish food. I postured him to look awake, but he was permanently paralyzed by the cicada killer in the previous pic.

Holy crap! Too cool!

You caught these in the wild?? Or did you have them already? Bugs are one thing I'm not cool with. So I'm ok with pics but I'd be a basket case if I saw those things irl.... alive.

*shudder*

I catch many things in the wild. When I have the time, I live in the wild ;). I almost don't mean that metaphorically at all. I used to stay in the woods (no pun intended, honest) alot more than I do now.

However, these critters are in my back yard. I can explain what the series of pics means in better detail. First the ecology.
The cicada killer is a solitary wasp that digs a burrow, captures cicadas, and stashes them, alive and paralyzed, in chambers within the burrow. From there she lays an egg on the cicada and her larvae feed on the live insect until they reach maturity.

As you know, there is always someone bigger and badder than the bully. Well in this case, it's smaller but much badder. Enter the velvet ant. It's actually another solitary wasp, but the female is wingless and confused as a ant. The stinger is about 1cm long, huge by any standard, and the sting is extraordinarily painful. I witnessed my grandfather (a WWII vet) shed a tear when he was stung by one. It's that painful.
http://wildflowers.jdcc.edu/Cow_Ant.JPG

Anyways, the velvet ant species we are covering forages all day for a cicada killer burrow, and when it finds one it lays an egg on the larva of the cicada killer wasp. It then eats both wasp larvae and cicada. It is designed to deflect the harpoon-like stinger of the cicada killer with heavy body armor. I have seen one run over by a truck that kept going. I'm serious.

Now, back to the pics. I believe the first wasp (the one I'm holding) lost a battle with a velvet ant. It appeared to have been stung under the right wing. It was convulsing and if you could say they feel pain, this one would be accurately described that way. If you fight with a velvet ant, you're going to lose. Period.

The second pic was another female cicada killer, trying to get away from me with her catch. She tried to fly too soon and hit the grass, where I simply walked up and took her cicada. She can get another one easily enough, and the cicada is good food for the bluegills in my pond :)

The last pic, the cicada, is perfectly paralyzed yet still alive. Well he was. Now he's halfway through a fish gut. hehe.

If I catch another live male cicada, I'll show you what they do when you touch their belly. They scream extremely loud.

I feel like I'm reading something from the Discovery Channel. I'm interested! Yeah post or shoot me some pics and info. I'm liking this :).

At a brewery.

Xerxys.

It makes me gag to hear someone brushing their teeth. Those electric toothbrushes are almost worse. Must.have.water.on. Better yet, stay in the bathroom with the door closed!

I'm looking :D

Sometimes they come to my bugzapper. Right now they do it fairly often because the population is high. I'm checking it every night :)

144 fanaticals.

I lead a charmed life.

I stepped out and I was chilling on the upstairs deck midway between floors and saw something of interest to you, wooÐs.

Anyways, I'll let the pics speak for themselves. haha.
See it?
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/members...den-cicada.jpg

Now do you see it?
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/members...den-cicada.jpg

It was a young male, not old enough to make noise yet. It takes a few days after emerging before they can really sing.

Step on it and post a picture of it's guts on ur shoe!!!

Hm - maybe this is calling for a 'post gross stuff' thread lol. Within certain limits, of course.

He looks small. But I'm assuming that bump I see on the tree in the first pic is it. So it is indeed NOT small. Holy crap I'd scream like a school girl if I came across that thing.

And no, I didn't see it lol.

i couldn't agree more....i would also have to add feet and im sorry to say but old ppl hair

aaahahahaha!

I used to cut hair. I HATED IT when old people would come in. A lot of them get mole-growth things on their head and I wanted to puke every time my comb would pick across one of those things when I'd try to glide the comb through their hair lol. ugh *bleh*

I scrolled from top to bottom, and the most recent thread in general was: What grosses you out, and the most recent in Sexuality was this one
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...-sex-toys.html

My immediate reaction was: yup, that'd be it

Haha hey wooÐs, here you go :)


Quality leaves a lot to be desired, but the sound is much better than my normal camera. This was my blackberry.

aaahaha!!

Too funny!

Now squeeze it between your fingers till it pops lol. :p

LMFAO.

I ended up just letting that one go. I'm not one to kill insects or anything in general, unless it either threatens my house, my family, or my food. Roaches and ants die on sight, but only in that context. If I'm in the back yard or in the field, I leave them be. I even ignore most wasps, but if they are trying to nest around my area, they must die. I hate being stung.

Loud little fuckers though. They make me crack up when they scream in your hand, because if they do, anyone around looks at you in disbelief or morbid curiosity.

It would be funny as shit to take one to work and have it scream next to some geek coworker. Most of them are guys, and most of them will scream like girls at the sight of such a large and loud insect. Sensory overload :lol:

LOL @ bringing one to work. That would be loads of fun. After making it scream a few times in various places of the office, stick it in someones drawer lol.

When I was in nursing.. I saw a lot of nasty things. The nastiest thing was when one of my patients had diarrhea. I went to get a new disposable brief for her.. and when I came back, not that I DID knock on the door and ask before enterring, I found her masturbating in her wheelchair.. using her feces as lube. **BARF**

I have a lot of stories of how I used to work in the dementia ward.. and I've walked into a room several times and there would be shit EVERYWHERE. But, I can deal with that.. I just am totally not into poo on genitals at all,. **barf**

Ametc??? WHY???? A bit of warning next time!!!

Fish. Or any seafood for that matter. In my life I have eaten 1 shrimp, 1 small piece of fish, and a single deep fried calamari. Some combination of the smell, the texture, the taste (at least what I think it will taste like haha), and just the thought of it make me sick. In my head, fish are just not something that is meant to be eaten.

Vomit too. If I'm around someone who's throwing up, I'm sure to go next just based on the smell. On a related note, if you gets chunks left over in your nose after puking I find that pretty awful.

Ha. We had seafood last night. 2 lobster tails, 4lbs of crab and 1lb of shrimp. I'm chuckling as I write that, please don't barf!

I have been known to retch after a particularly disgusting view of vomit. I used to live with a guy that could barf at will though, which kind of cured me of that reaction.

Funny thing is I'm ok with just thinking about it in general, actually I watch a lot of the Food Network and I'm fine with the seafood episodes. I have more issues when I start to smell it or if people are eating it near me and I think to myself 'what if I was eating that?!'. It doesn't gross me out to the point of puking, it just doesn't sit right for some reason. I can't offer any rational explanation for it either just that I don't like it.

swallowing a big multi-vitamin on an empty stomach

Oh that reminds me -

Fish oil is so good for you. However one got stuck in my throat one time. Not choke-stuck. But no matter how much I drank, it wouldn't go all the way down. For the remainder of the day, I was burping up this horrendous fish stench / flavor. I laid off them for years after that. Now, I just make sure it's pointed 'down' when I put it in the back of my throat before I drink.

Ugh that was horrible.

Gross! Never had that happen. I take pills 5 at a time though (when I take anything at all).

My dog eating cat shit :eek:
EEEEEEEEEEEwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Oh me too - I'm a pro.

But I just had a bad day I guess. A very, very bad day. :(

Men hocking loogies!!!!

Totally disgusting and they should never do it in public.

One more yuck: The IT Manager at work totally stinks as though he only bathes once a month! P.U.!!! His office is so offensive, no one will go into it and talk with him. The nasty stink drifts out the door towards my work area...gag! ...and worse The Idiot Boss/Owner & HR Manager will not say a word to him and we have all begged them to say something.

Even customers have complained. What to do?? Yep, find new job is high on my list :)

Tape one of those car Christmas trees to his monitor.

Better yet, tape on to his back. Act like you're giving him a pat on the back, like in elementary school :lol:

It's funny you mention that. We've got a few techs at my job that reek of BO. I mean, come on now. There is no need for that shit!

Spiders and snakes disgusts me most of all! I hate them!!!!

LMAO

Banana Hammocks

banana hammocks on obese guys who parade up and down the beach in them. They should be covering up acreage instead of exposing it...that *really* grosses me out.

I have nothing against obese people; I am chubby myself, but I don't go to the beach and force other people to look at me....

I'm all for loving your body and being comfortable in your own skin, but we don't need to see your junk displayed like that. No matter what your body type is.

Don't know if this has been posted, but I'm repulsed by public restrooms where the last user has opted not to flush. Doesn't matter if it's poo or pee, it's equally gross. Now, my waste is fine. Doesn't bother me. But other people's is nasty. Especially when they don't have the decency to just push down a metal thing with their foot ffs.

Something you may not run into, but it thoroughly pisses me off (no pun intended) when guys don't lift the lid and piss all over the seat. I absolutely hate that. I don't sit on toilet paper, that's ridiculous, so I get wads of paper, put soap and water on them, and scrub the lid so I can sit on it, when I need to. I fuckin hate having to do that.

Biting into a crunchy piece of onion.

I'll choke and flail my arms like a 4 year old while I spit out the entire contents of my mouth. Putrid, foul things.

I'm with you on that one. DO NOT LIKE ONIONS. I do like cooked onions though.

Hmmm.....


Mouldy food. Anything. If it's got mold on it, I'm out.
Scat porn.
Earwigs *shudder*
Maggots*shudder twice*
Cigarette Butts/Ashes

I dunnnnoooo lol. Nah, I will eat them if they're fully cooked, i.e. no crunchiness at all. But if they're big enough to pick out, I'll do it anyway just because I'm a brat.

I could never see you as a brat :lol:

It's very odd to me that I can read that, picture it in my head, google the pics, and still be like ....................so???

Yet force me to eat a piece of fat off of a steak and you better have a trashcan ready. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I know, rite?

EWWWW!!!! ONION!!!!! http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/8900/tantrumz.gif

I used to be a first grade teacher and the one thing the kids knew NOT to show me was a loose tooth hanging out of their mouths. That is something that makes me gag!!! I don't mind seeing the teeth after they have lost them, but when they are still in their mouths, GROSS!!!!

Also, public swimming pools gross me out. I don't know what I will do when I have kids. I may have to get a pool of my own. I can't see myself taking them to a public pool.

I'm that way about hot tubs. They're big pots of people soup imo. Ucky.

Breathing on people, breathing too close to them, having their breath next to mine. You know, like when you take the subway and your torso is pancaked between two equally tall people who are breathing the same way as you. I've always been good at holding my breath, and in those situations it's what I do, for as long as possible.
I'm not even a germophobe, far from it.

hot dogs with veins....

people that blow their noses while dining out. really disgusts me and makes me want to gag.

Fat on meat, and the grissel. Or whatever its called. Fucking shit is discusting. Everytime i eat that shit, I want to ralf.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

finding shit in your food that's REALLY not suppoesd to be there. EX: Bones in meat, Toes, shit like that. Fucking disgusting. I just found chicken toes in my chicken.

Chicken Toes!!?!?!? :eek::eek:


I say leeches and flying spiders

I shit you not. CHICKEN TOES. It was nasty. Still nasty. I am hungry but I can't even imagine eating I'm so grossed out. Flipping chicken toes.

What type do you buy?!!??

I think I have Maple Leaf in the freezer right now lol

haha no, it was chicken cordon bleu and it was a Presidents Choice brand. AKA cheap and apparently horrible quality.

I'd call/write and complain.

My sardines gross Magpie out. The cats love em, though, so at least I'm not totally alone.
