When snow is so cold it is bone dry like a chalk board and squeaks any time it is touched.
Dragging a guitar pick up guitar strings, and touching those hologram images.
I was gonna say high freq vibration noise, but those two also give me the creeps. I think I have whatever it is you also have.
When you're at the beach or some body of water and the dirt, mud, or sand gets on your hands, you get out of the water and start to dry off. I despise the feeling when your hands dry out.
Anything kinda powdery like flour, chalk in general, or things like dried mud or clay. Can't stand them, especially on my hands and feet.
Agreed on chalk and similar feels.
In Hermany we have sweets called "Traubenzucker" (according to my quick web search they are dextrose sweets) which also have this feel and it's even worse in the mouth.
Biting into meringue is also quite uncomfortable to me.
Dry, dirty hands after working in the garden. I mean dry.
Sharp Scrape of utensil on plate.
A thick seam on socks at the toes.
Too-tight clothing.
Repetitive noise.
Sometimes people chewing. Or talking around chewing.
Fibers snagging on a chewed or broken nail
E L A S T I C \ I N \ M Y \ S O C K S
this makes sock shopping immensely difficult
For me it's seams in my socks, like right across the toe, and then that shit bunches up inside my shoe if I don't put it n right and it makes me nuts
I can't stand chewing noises over headphones. its fucked up to eat when your mic is on dont do it
We have one of you at our zoom COVID pub group. We try to not chew the chips and peanuts around our you but we forget. But we do think about your issue all the time. Sorry.
Microfiber towels sticking to dry skin on your hands like velcro. Soggy sandwich bread. The way cotton balls feel and sound when you pull them apart. Non-skid on bare feet. Wooden utensils or popsicle stick wood on my tongue. Being touched by dogs with wet beards. Trying to sleep in bed with dirty feet. Synthetic fragrances.
I'm sure there's more.
I kind of understand why these things bother you. They don't really bother me, except the synthetic fragrances, but I can get the gist. It's kind of weird.
Chewing gauze or tissue. Yes I had my wisdoms removed recently.
Barking. It drives me absolutely mad.
Unfortunately in the US people are OBSESSED with dogs. Everyone has one and so many people just leave them outside to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and.... :/
I have a cat. She is currently emitting no noise and is a moderate grey color.
I read "she is emiting a moderately grey color"
If you think of how light and color works that's pretty close to what's going on. She's reflecting the light wavelengths that we perceive as gray and absorbing the rest. So kind of like emitting a gray color.
This is how you can easily differentiate people and assholes. Assholes leave their dogs outside.
Cats too. Assholes who lets their cats out looooove mosquitoes.
This miiiiight not be a sensory thing, but here goes.
To me, everything has, like, a correct feeling it has to give before leaving it to rest. If not, it's a little too rough, or smooth, it just feels off. And I can keep feeling it after stopping touching it. And anytime I look at the object. I can feel it when I watch a movie or show and someone puts something down in some indescribably wrong way.
To be clear, this isn't a placement thing. Organization and whatnot don't matter, it's just like "Oh my foot just dragged forward on the carpet, that was weird and rough forward, now I have to do it backward to make it feel right," or "I just out that down and from the sound, I can tell it went down wrong. I gotta go adjust it." That loops until I get it just right, usually a process of 2-45 minutes.
I’m not a professional but that sounds a lot like OCD
I get this a lot too... Sometimes it extends to placement of an object but more like; I adjusted this candle and it went too far counter clockwise so now I need to adjust it equally counter clockwise before moving to the right position or it would "feel" off.
The sound of a metal utensil squeaking against a plate. Nails on a chalkboard. Dry skin on dry paper. The smell of tobacco smoke. The sound of a modified or worn out muffler on a car or motorcycle. The tickle of a runny nose. The tickle of drops of sweat running down my face and back on a hot day.
Hearing the sound of people eating. Especially if it's louder than what i would consider normal.
At one office i worked in the guy on the other side of the cubicle wall from me was a loud eater and constant snacker. Drove me insane. Sound of people eating just completely puts me on edge.
Store Music
I hate it.
Holiday music. Too repetitive.
A crowd talking.
Basically, it can be summed up as, TOO MUCH FUCKING NOISE
(I just want some silence 🥲)
earplugs have been a game changer for me. i haven't been shopping without them for the last six months.
When hurricane Beryl hit us, Target was on generators with very minimal lighting and no music. It was such a great shopping experience, that I flagged down the manager and asked them to do this full time.
Of course they didn't. But man, I miss that.
The fact that 99% of LED Christmas lights are mini strobe lights.
My folks bought a new house and got all this expensive LED lighting installed everywhere and they ALL run at such a low frequency they look like strobe lights to me. I hate it so much.
Nice place otherwise, though.
My kid hates anything and everything velvet or velvet-like, such as the back of some picture frames.
Stickiness anywhere on my body, but it most often happens when I eat something sticky with my hands like a caramel or something.
Having something stuck between my teeth.
Children.
I have so many. Here are some top ones:
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.
If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else
Thankfully, the family understands that I'm not anti-social. I just can't sit in a room with the TV on and two grandchildren listening to iPads all at the same time.
I have plenty of tasks in my office or in the garage.
My wife hates eating noises. I never used to notice them, but she complains a lot.
She also eats pretzels and chews ice all the time. Now it fucking annoys me.
This is a specific thing called misophonia
Just stop eating, the both of you. Problem solved!
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. 😬
The sound of styrofoam touching anything make my hair stand up. I hate the sound of a lot of fans and blowers so I wear noise canceling headphones when I can. In terms of touch, I loathe the feel of certain weaves of synthetic fabric. I don’t wear it but I have some blankets made of it so I handle those with gloves. (I bought them on accident.)
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.
Dyson hand dryers.
How something so loud can be installed in public without hearing protection beats me.
Hand dryer, you say? Oh…
