Fun thread!! I'm really wondering what sound marshmallows make when they rub together...gonna have to try that!
As I went to sleep last night, I remembered another aversion...to sleeping with my head "exposed." I always sleep with my head under the covers. I actually have two issues here--I don't like to feel air on my neck (I know!! I'm fine outside on a windy day!) and I also have an irrational idea (a childhood fear) of something crawling in my ear! Like a spider or other bug? I don't know where it started. Though I don't really think of it anymore, the habit has formed and I'm most comfortable burrowed in for the night!

My stomach churns when I see beetles or mice. When you call someone and they try to carry on a conversation with you and another person. It is so rude. Knives gives me the chills in movies. Crocs attacking animals in the water.

Just thought of another one, and boy am I weird! When I see videos of people getting injured, like in those TV programs, I actually hurt. My nerves, especially in my knees, start to zing and it feels like when you hit your funny bone. Movies where people get hurt don't do it, just the candid or sport videos.

I can't stand the background laughing in sitcoms. Get me a break, aren't we smart enough to know when to laugh ???? Also, my husband tapping and clicking at the ceramic bowl while eating his oatmeal. Drives me crazy !!

I hate when people say "I seen..." instead of "I saw".
Or "birfday" instead of "birthday" (my sister-in-law, who's taught 2nd grade for 32yrs says this too!)
Or "Me and Tommy" instead of "Tommy and I" (this reeeeaally bugs me).
There's more but you get the idea.

Also adding a "T" to across. Acrost? And Nuceelar instead of nuclear!

Spiders and boxelder bugs because they stick on you even when you try to swat them away. I never have and never will ride a roller coaster since I'm quite positive I WILL fall out, head first.
A family relative frequently goes to KMarK and shops in the peteek sizes, and recently she has had much Therpy on her arm (therapy).

I have so many I don't know where to start
When people say Holloween. The word comes from all Hallows eve..It is hAlloween.
The word realtor has no "I" in it
Flustrated instead of frustrated
Aks instead of ask
people who drive slow in the passing lane
peole who fly out of a side street to get in front of you and then drive so sllllooooowwwwwww
cutting fingernails in public
people who can't control their children in a restaurant
when you go out to eat in a group, there is always someone who wants to leave a cheap tip
And in every class or seminar, there is always a "Mr. or Mrs. know-it -all" that has been there or done that better than the teacher

Clowns.....they fill me with terror so bad I cannot move.
Snakes the same, they terify me (too many close encounters)
My cats licking themselves on my bed, cannot STAND it, even if I am not in bed. Same with the dog, licking himself.
Thats about it really
Oh and slugs eeewwww, they make my skin crawl
