I'm not having a great day and need a laugh. I can't stand when a rogue hair gets on me, my clothing, anything. Especially when I am in the shower and I have loose hairs all over. GROSS! I take it to the level where I get goose bumps though! My dish rags have been collecting hair recently so when I am washing dishes I am getting them on my hand. What gives you the heebie jeebies?

What can I do next?

when my son hacks his snot up. SORRY!!!! And BTW, I hate loose animal hairs too. I just had a conversation with my cat. I was explaining to her, the color of black. I told her that when I am wearing black, she needs to get away from me. She was pretty good until a few minutes ago.

Touching raw meat, especially ground beef. I always ask my husband to do it. Something about the dead, raw stuff, I guess...

Getting a hair in my mouth - I'm sure I look ridiculous trying to get it out!

Funny post!

Sorry animal lovers: most animals give me the heebie jeebies. I have a reoccurring nightmare about cats. I also do not want a dog's slobber or wet nose anywhere near me.
Long nails (not nice manicured ones, I am talking men or kids with nails that really need to be cut. Especially if it is just one nail!
Used washcloths or sponges. I have to get out a clean, fresh one each time.
Dirty refrigerators
Eating food at a home where the kitchen is grody
Other kids' boogers
Eyeballs. I am amazed I can put in my contacts because it really grosses me out when people touch their eyeballs or pull their skin away from their eyeballs.
spiders, worms, potato bugs

It is kindof weird what DOESNT give me the heebie jeebies, though. I am pretty germ conscious. But I no longer am phased by cleaning kid poop or pee. I am ok with popping my husband's pimples. If a hair turns up in my food, it is not a big deal if it was cooked at my house.

Touching live fish. This is fairly new, so....weird.

Also, my husband washing son 3's poopy undies with the towels we use to wash dishes. He says it's all being washed, and bleached, and shouldn't matter. I say "poop on our dishes, ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!"

ETA: Also....wet paper towels in the dirty dishes! (Why yes, he stays home and "keeps house"; why do you ask? :P )

answers from Austin on

Things I can't see. I sleep with the closet door closed (because it's DARK in there!), and under the bed....I STILL take a flying leap onto the bed, if the lights are off, or the light is dim.

(My poor husband. He wants eventually to get one of those matresses from the the commercial with the bowling balls, because of it. Also, his goal is to lose enough weight so that he can fit under the bed and grab my ankle one night...)

Also, related, I guess, I don't like to swim in water where I can't see my feet. Like in the ocean or in lakes, or even swimming pools at night. Because there are THINGS. I once saw a picture of A. octopus eating a seagull - which means OCTOPI CAN CATCH SEAGULLS! Which means, of course, they can catch me, and then there was that fossil they found that sort of looks like a kraken - yes, a SEA MONSTER! Sure, you say it's a fossil, but they thought the coelacanth was extinct, too, until they found a live one. As for pools - check out a beach-side pool in the early morning. It's full of crabs. They climb in there in the night, and the chlorine kills them, but in the meantime, it's dark, and the pool is full of angry crabs.

And, of course, I have seen movies like Jaws and Deep Blue Sea waaaay too many times, I'm sure....

I swear, I'm not neurotic ALL the time. But gosh, I sure sound like it now, don't I?

Snakes --even pictures of them.

Mosquitos -- I'm so allergic to the bite that now not only do I itch like crazy but my nose runs and my throat gets scratchy.

Benedryl handy at all times. And I hate using Off or any repelent because it makes me feel gross and greasy.

I have a lot of weird little things that give me the heebie jeebies. Wash cloths, if they have been used and do not go straight to the hamper I hate touching them. Or when i transfer from my towel basket into the washing machine I have to barely pinch them to put them in there. Ugh. Gross.

My dogs nose, I refuse to let the dogs nose touch my hands it grosses me out. The mouth they say is cleaner than ours (although much debated) there is nothing to clean the nose and that thing is right there during the cleaning of certain areas. Good thing they are not lickers.

Water dripping down my wrists when I wash may face.

Seeing hair on the back of men's necks - time for a hair cut - ick

Fish scales off the fish. If I see them I freak and if for some reason I eat fish and find a fish scale in my mouth, I could possibly wretch all over the table - uggg

Dry skin on my feet and then my bare feet touching each other. I used to have to sleep with socks on, in case my feet accidently touched each other. Now I got over that but need to put tons of lotion on my feet right before bed. I can't stand hearing other people rub their dry feet together. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

House centipedes!

Oh yes, that hair thing gets me too! Let's see, I have a LOT. Touching the bathroom floor with fresh feet out of the shower. Loose paper... b/c I am terrified of paper cuts. When I see someone about to fall or trip or see a splinter or paper cut.. I get so freaked out I feel physical pain shooting up and down my legs. Weird, I know.

Pruny fingers. I hate when my fingers get pruny when I am in the pool, and will hold my hands out of the water as much as possible to avoid it. Much worse than my having pruny fingers is when someone with pruny fingers touches my hand, especially if my fingers are pruny. So no holding hands with my kids at the pool!
The sound of a toothbrush on someone elses teeth sends shivers down my spine, which makes supervising my kids toothbrushing not enjoyable for me! It doesn't bother me when I brush my own teeth, or if I brush my kids teeth for them.
The feel of cheap polyester also sends shivers down my spine.

First thing that comes to mind is HAIRS IN THE FRIDGE. ( actually just the thought is making me want to vomit )
We own some rental properties and at the last 'clean out'...where I went to clean the property to prepare for the new tenants, I found hairs in the fridge, the freezer, in the fruit compartment of the fridge; barf barf barf.
How does one get that much hair in the fridge? I had enough to make a weave. Little black hairs......now I feel the lump in my throat....eeewwww.
It was so gross.

Here is a strange one I don't know what it is but birds sitting on a power line gives me the heebie jeebies. Sooo weird I know. When they are flying I'm fine but when a lot of them are sitting on a power line I feel so grossed out.

Hope your day gets better!
