The feel of cornstarch makes my skin crawl. I have an aversion to people with really bad feet who wear sandals. I don't mean people who can't help how their feet look, I'm talking about those with long,dirty toenails and crusty heels. Double yuck!

Yesterday I was driving with my DS & DGS. DGS put window down while we were on the interstate and it was like someone was jabbing my ears with icepicks. I immediately clamped my hands over both ears. Not a good thing to do when you are driving at 65mph. DS grabbed the wheel and I elbowed the window up button. He said I was screaming... The window stays in the locked position now!!!!

Also, polystyrene rubbing together. Getting something out of the freezer in winter. People spitting in public makes me gag. The sound of someone cracking their knuckles.....

Cockroaches . UGH!! Sports people on TV chewing gum with their mouth open. Chewing gum is gross enough, without chewing it with the mouth open. Having to turn the volume down during TV commercials. Background music drowning out a TV program - particularly documentaries.

I have a bridge anxiety also - this includes freeway rampways, and all sorts of Rises - like roads that peak where I can't see beyond the peak of them. It's crippling, actually. Life-limiting. Looking at them (even on tv) gives me an unpleasant floating sensation. It's crazy and nonsensical. I tried a few sessions of hypnotism for it once. Finally confessed all of this a few years ago to a dr who gave me wellbutrin. Didn't seem to make a difference. My driving comfort zone has shrunken over my life.

Okay my first thought was spiders, but then I decided that is not really a "weird" fear. The next thing I thought of is the open mouth gum chewing thing, especially clerks in stores since it's hard to get away sometimes, but that's not "weird" either it's just gross! So I guess my weirdest aversion, and it's weird, is certain window shapes. Sometimes I look at a house and the windows look just creepy.

When I was a teenager, for some reason I could not abide to hear the word pimple. I confessed this to a friend on the way home one day. Some time later she shared this information in her senior English class. I was an office worker that same hour and when I entered the room to collect the attendance sheet Mr. Bishop turned to me and said, "pimple! pimple! pimple!" I was stunned and then mortified by all the laughter. Years later it was hard to imagine that immature young man held some kind of important position at IU. ha ha
