  • Loud conversations. If you need to speak loudly at the person right next to you, you need to get your hearing checked.
  • Excessive perfume
  • Bright headlights
[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

That's why I only install dumb headlights. Less confrontations that way.

My kid hates anything and everything velvet or velvet-like, such as the back of some picture frames.

I hate things on my face. Glasses, masks, creams, etc. Covid mask requirements drove me crazy. Still followed them because I'm not an idiot or an asshole, but, boy was I always happy to get the fuck back to my car or home so I could remove it.

I also hate cacophonies. A single loud sound is annoying but not unbearable. Being in a crowded space where hundreds of people are talking, even at a normal volume, however, is maddening. I used to have recurring nightmares about people coming up to speak to me and when they opened their mouth, it was just that murmuring sound of a large crowd. Shit gives me the willies. 😬

Ever been to a busy gun range? Within 20-minutes my entire body is vibrating. I wouldn't shoot if I didn't have my own range in the boondocks.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

An indoor range? Never. Plenty of outdoor ones. Mostly as a cub scout, so it was all super low caliber shit (.22s and shotguns). that wasn't really all that loud. Loudest thing I ever fired was a random 30 ought 6; only ever knew it as that. Even with ear protection, that thing hurt to shoot.

being indoors, surrounded by concrete and firing guns tho? I can only imagine it being pretty bad.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 9 points 1 day ago

Loud low frequency noise. So cars, leaf blowers, lawn mowers.

I generally don't like people touching me. Even with my wife it can be a little upsetting depending on the duration.

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dyson hand dryers.

How something so loud can be installed in public without hearing protection beats me.

I don't like handling anything most people would call soft and fluffy. Such as the fuzzy coats.

Cotton is fine, animals are fine. It's the material that I find becomes grippy for my dry skin.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I wouldn't mind it being legal but oh my god I can't stand the smell of weed

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Many many things! Notably though: having anything on my hands (I cook and bake by stocking paper towels and an empty sink and reminding myself constantly I can stop and wash at any time), anything too tight clothing wise (this is so much stuff it sucks), strong perfumes, the scent of peanut butter, feeling a glass that has not been cleaned (it feels ugly)

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pencil with the tip broken off on paper.

High pitched noises (CRT displays, dyson vacuums)

Sweating while wearing full clothing

Microfiber hand towels that don't properly absorb water

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

That last one, wtf

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

This whole thread shoulda come with a trigger warning, lol

[–] Firebirdie713@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Chalky foods (merengues, smartie candies, antacids, etc). I also hate the sound of chalk being used. It makes my teeth hurt.

Blue LEDs that aren't properly balanced (they give me migraines)

Electricity whining (I can hear this almost anywhere inside)

Dense fleeces (they make me itchy regardless of material)

Turtlenecks (I feel like I am choking)

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Oh I've only ever bought one turtleneck. Couldn't get over the feeling of needing to throw up even after attempting to wear it for hours. It is no longer with me.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 4 points 23 hours ago

Yeah I can hear the 60Hz hum a lot. It's a blessing and a curse to have good hearing.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel you on those blue LEDs. Gives me eye strain trying to focus

Not much, but I have nerve damage from injuries and surgeries that drive me nuts. I'd rather they be painful than the half numb, "wrong" feeling I get.

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago

Eating noises

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Scratching paper.

It makes my skin crawl.

[–] Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 day ago

Loud and dragging pallet jacks

People carelessly dropping or slamming pallets...like fucking why?

Loud advertisements, no I won't buy your fucking product or subscribe!

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)
  • Wooden spoons

  • Unglazed ceramic

  • Synthetic fur / thermal fabric that sticks just a little bit to the microscopic burrs on the tips of your fingers

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I guess you could say extreme temperatures, sitting/laying in regular poses, not being dry, and the feeling of dressing up too much.

[–] darkishgrey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Wearing latex gloves.

[–] PineRune@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

A plastic disposable straw in a plastic disposable lid. The sound hurts my teeth.

[–] Alice@hilariouschaos.com -1 points 1 day ago

Music. It's obnoxious
