    What makes you gag?

    I know, for me, it's when I accidentally scrape my fingernail on glossy paper (similar to the blackboard effect, but more personally tactile). It normally happens with those new manuals that come when you buy a computer game.

    Or, when someone scrapes food from their fork with their teeth. That "tsing" makes my spine feel like a family of rats are trying to claw their way out through my back.

    One thing which actually belongs to a grey area in the middle, is the sound of pasta, namely macaroni, being mixed with cheese. Sometimes, it sounds like a delicious meal being prepared, others, it sounds like an obese man salivating in my ear.

    What does it for you?

    I work in a call centre and am on the phone for most of the day. when somone coughs or breathes heavy down the phone it sends horrible shivers down my spine. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,734 ✭✭✭Newaglish


    There's some things that make me just shiver and make me go Hnnnnnngh!

    Such as;

    That horrible styrofoam/polystyrene packaging that stuff comes in. It's just so dry and squeaky and horrible! Some of those datalogger things (read: fancy calculators) we had in Physics came in that packaging and I had to deal with it every class, it was torture!

    Wiping your teeth on a really dry towel... I know this situation doesn't arise much, but it's awful when it does!

    One thing that makes me gag and wretch like a mofo is that thing that biotch of a dentist puts in your mouth when she wants to take an X-Ray of your teeth. She just jams it in there, walks out of the room, and by the time she comes back I'm wretching in the chair with a gigantic purple face, drooling all over myself.

    Oh, and anything, anything involving cotton wool. I mean....! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    there are numerous smells that make me gag...I hate the sound of someone clearing phlegm from their throat...when someone chews with their mouth open...when someone blinks a lot it make my eyes feel sore


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 310 ✭✭modular


    I'm really not put off easily, but velvet freaks me out beyond measure. I can actually think about velvet and give myself goosebumps sometimes. And everyone's all like "but it's so soft and nice!" but I disagree. It's just the way it moves a bit when you touch it. Eurgh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    Wooden ice-cream sticks. I hate the feel of those in my mouth or against my teeth., Even the thought makes me shiver, so I always leave a good centimetre of icecream on them

    Oh... I can't stand wooden ice cream sticks.

    Why can't they use plastic? Damn enviromentalists...

    I generally stick to Icebergers when I'm choosing an icecream as a result. Although the sticks that they use in Magnum icecreams seem to be of a fancier variety and are alot smoother.

    People picking their nose and ears in public is nasty. Taking orange juice after tooth brushing makes me gag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 192 ✭✭Eve e


    Milk:vile substance,even the smell of it makes me wretch.

    Tinfoil:can't touch the stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,713 ✭✭✭Cianan2


    Anybody know that feeling on your fingers when you take a glass out of the dish-washer? The dryness....Ugh, hate that so much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,738 ✭✭✭Naos


    GRR! I HATE THIS COMPUTER!
    Just wrote out something, tap the touchpad, and it went to previous page, lost my typing..

    In short: Metal touching molars.
    Monkeyfudge: New icebergs are crap compared wit old, due to the old paper wrapping being replaced with plastic. The biscuit just doesnt taste nice now...

    People chewing on tin foil! I cringe when I see that! Also, when people slide their teeth off forks etc. (My sister does that! I hate it!) Also, those wooden sticks in icecreams.. bleugh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500

    Agh, I agree. The worst is when you're at the doctor and he uses a tongue depresser; It just makes me gag instantly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    When someone scrapes the fork or knife off the plate. *shiver*

    Cucumber *bleugh* actually, it does make me physically sick, even if it is on the plate of the person two away from me at a table I can smell it.*eughhhhh*

    Melon.

    Hmmm Mayonnaise, For me the things that makes me gag are 1. The smell of farmers silage if i'm within half a mile i'l vomit, Farmers Slurry, The smell is comparable to Margaret Thatcher's bed after a romb with Ian Paisley and 2. I absolutly hate Tomatoes and Styrofoam. If i'm eating near tomatoes whatever i'm eating starts to taste like em and i'm soon puking !

    cotton wool. simple as that. can't look at it, defo can't touch, can't bear people even talking about it. it is the most vile textile known to man.
    i propose that all buds be burnt. if it wasn't meant to be set on fire, why would it incinerate so easily?!
    i'm gettin the shivers just typing it.... yeuch

    I don't mind the touch so much as this overwhelming desire it creates in me to rub to velvet things (pillows etc...) together. It gives me immediate chills, but I do it just the same! :eek:

    Velvet rubbing against velvet?! Aeurgch! I never even thought of that! Curse you!

    That's horrifying.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 310 ✭✭curliq


    you may not know this sensation, but if you're in the orthodontist and they want to take a mould of your teeth, they but this blue putty stuff into a spatula thingy and press down on your tongue...*gag*..iggle! and then the blue stuff starts to ooze out and slides down your throat....eep. and there's usually the unfortunate side-effect of drooling all over yourself aswell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭Tiffany


    Biting down on a dry toothbrush. *cringe*

    LOL. :D

    The sound of anyone eating with their mouth open wrecks my head, I'll just have to walk out of the room or I'll slap them. Oh, and the sound of someone chewing crunchy, undercooked onions makes me want to puke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman

    Yes but dammit you and i need to invest in that glass salty stuff.
    I think it stops that from happening.
    Thankfully i only experience that in my gf's house, i dunno what i'd do if that were something i had to work around in my home, i suppose i'd wet my hands everytime i needed a glass from the dishwasher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭Caliden


    licking a dry tissue......
    not an everyday occurance but happened once and have never ben able to find something that sent such a big shiver through my whole body since.


    seriously give it a try, dry tissue, gogogogo

    i hate sponges, there's just something about the touch of a dry sponge im cringing just even typing this.....weird i know.

    also hate when people screech their fork on a plate, that loud pitched sound urgh :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,414 ✭✭✭LoneGunM@n


    There's a few things that make be cringe:

    1) The feeling of dusting cloths on my hands
    2) The noise of forks etc.. screeching on plates
    3) the feeling of certain dry towels on my hands

    Eugh! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 115 ✭✭disillusioned


    Spitting in public makes me gag.

    It's just so offensive, particularly when done after clearing the throat etc with that loud grating noise - men seem particularly fond of it.

    I recently heard a big throat clearing going on behind me and then heard the follow-up big gobber slap onto the ground, I turned and there on the ground was a big pool of spit - it was indoors!! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭joejoem


    1) Someone elses snot

    2) the smell of toilet especially when drunk

    3) sometimes when I smoke

    4) When someone scrapes there fork with there teeth or scrapes it off there plate - makes me squirm

    5) smelly old people who grab you by the arm or stand close to you with that crusty white bit on the edge of there mouth. Smells like death.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    Anything to do with nails freaks me out. People cutting their nails in the same room as me. People biting their nails or picking them. Ah!! :eek:

    Also people who make noise while they're eating reallly drives me up the wall.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 936 ✭✭✭FreaK_BrutheR


    The sound of "Last Orders!!"
    or
    "Right now folks... Time Please!"

    Good one! Or people who get that stringy saliva thing from top lip to bottom lip! Aghhhhh

    Smelly breath really kills me, same as BO - not the sweat one, the I havent washed sice the 80's one.

    people who dont listen, they just shout, even when they are wrong they wont listen they just shout. That really makes my blood boil


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭Ishmael


    Grease
    Those trays for george forman grills when they havn't been cleaned, ugh!!

    Mushrooms make me gag, not the taste of them, just the feel of them, yeeeuuch.

    Im so with you there its not funny- the thought of it is just scuzzy...
    Also the sound of a scrubber (you know the green ones or the metal ones) on a draining board....DEEEEEsgusting!!!! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    Tomatoes, raw or cooked. Just the thought of eating a tomato is enough to make me gag. Strangely I like tomato purée and tomato sauce, but actual tomatoes, euarghhussgf.

    The sound of people brusing their teeth is another one, like on radio ads for tooth paste. It just sends shivers down my spine. The actual sound of real teeth briusing is fine, but the fake sound they use on ads just gets me every time.

    I've come to the conclusion that most people here are freaks. I mean, come on, velvet, dishwashed glasses, newspaper, tomatoes! We're all mad.

    oh god
    touching brillo pads/sponges - gives me the willies even when i think about them now
    people who lick their fingers with crisp crumbs on them and make slurping noises whilst doing so or people who wipe the crumbs under chairs/tables/on trousers/on other people
    i have alot of crisp issues


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,734 ✭✭✭Newaglish

    Yeah, I really really hate anything involving crumbs! They had an ad for some sort of biscuits a while ago, with the caption "We make the biscuits, you make the crumbs", and there were crumbs on everything. Put me right off!

    Old people who smell and insist of standing really close to you, breathing and spluttering everywhere. Or when people have snot or drool on their face! And the smell of homeless people, God that makes me gag!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Being surrounded by loved up mushy couples.

    Gives me an overwhelming urge to take a shower.

    In petrol. And then have a smoke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    I've also got that velvet thing. It's the same for corduroy, and actually a lot of fabrics. I just can't touch them. Seeing people move their hands down velvet (especially the wrong way), or corudory or hell even wool makes me want to murder them.

    Onions make me gag, as well. Cooked onions especially. If there are too many of them in my food I actually can't eat it. I usually take all of them out before I eat, but if there are too many I just won't, and give up on the whole meal.

    Rubbing hair backwards, also. Argh... *shudder*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    the thought of chewing on a tea bag yuck just thinkin of all them tea leaves in your mouth icky icky icky


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 221 ✭✭NikNik


    I despise avocadoes. Guacamole makes me gag. Reminds me of vomit. Euuurgh

    And people with bad breath. Always get serious whiffs of that on the rush hour dart


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 121 ✭✭lilulila


    Reading this thread is making my teeth hurt lol. I cant stand biting on wool. Euugh the squeak. Or if the dentist puts cotton wool in your mouth. Actually anything dentisty makes me gag. The squeak of a knife and fork on a plate. Touching wet wood eg the wooden spoon when washing up. Sweetcorn. Its discusting and the worst thing is when ever I get something made up from the deli theres always that stray few that end up in it. Nails on a black board. People getting sick. I travelled to school on a cie bus. 18 miles a day. There was always one getting sick on the way home if i hear/smell it ill get sick myself.
