Is there anything to which you have a totally irrational reaction

Almost all DH's stupid habits:

Putting his wet, used bath towels on the clean, dry bed.

Chewing the slice of finger nail he tore off for like an hour. Never noticed this until this past winter-barf!

Eating at the kitchen counter and letting crumbs fall all over the ground.

Not wiping the counter tops after a spill, especially dark things that stain like coffee. It just makes me brew with anger, no pun intended.

Not DH specific:

Dirty socks, like black soled dirty socks-even if it is just dye from black leather shoes.

Stepping on anything gooey or something that sticks on the bottom of my feet. Ewww...

slimy vegetables that have been overlooked b/c they were hiding in the back of the refrigerator

They make my stomach turn.

Spitting. Don't care if we're talking a little one or a giant loogie. And I live in a neighborhood where it's a cultural norm for the men to spit pretty much constantly. It literally nauseates me.

The bathroom stall one is good, too: three stalls, I'm on one end. WHY do you come in after me and use the one in the middle???

Babies or small children at bars. Disturbing. As in "Sweet Home Alabama": "You have a baby! In a bar!" LOL
Licking sound, ditto PP.

People licking their fingers - WTF?

People blowing their nose at the table in any restaurant. Again, WTF?

People who take forever to spit out their story, going nowhere, then wonder why they have been interrupted.

People who think your space is their space.

I add the highlighted one to my list.

Juliette Lewis. Her nasty little scrunched up perma-sneer makes me want to smack her.

Clowns and doll collections freak me out.

I love this thread. You all are so funny! Most of what you said rings true with me: bugs, shower curtains, eggs, certain stars/singers. Thanks for the laughs!

Caterpillars- morbid/nightmare inducing fear of them along with slugs centipedes and all of their ilk. Even writing about them makes me squirm.

The song "Sweet Home Alabama". You do realize that while you scream at the top of your lungs after your sixth beer that you are supporting a song that basically tells people to lay off the South for its racist tendencies 30-someodd years ago. Makes me want to blow up a trailer while cooking up a batch of meth.

me too! I commute w/ 3 yr old DD who loves it. I try to switch stations ASAP but inevitably she screams until I put it back. ugh. what is it about that song that it is "catchy" but at the same time like naills on chalk board?

Intellictually, I know it's a horribly racist song. But I love this song. I'm from the south. I love to sing it. But I know it stands for evil things. I'm in a mixed marriage. My children are of mixed heritage. I don't want them to have racist sentiments. But I came of age in the 70's and I love to sing that song......I'm so screwed up. Help me!
