Oh, my...
In other news, this THREAD kinda grosses me out! 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.

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.

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.

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.

You can have it, but it has to be to temp (140+) or you get fined if the Health inspector catches you (we always just threw it out if the HI came in while we had it). 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.

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.

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.
