Ask Lemmy

The way that glassware feels when it first comes out of the dishwasher and you’ve just washed your hands.

Loud music in restaurants

People reacting loudly at sports (sudden clapping, yelling, etc)

Velvet

Leather not letting sweat evaporate

Advertising

-Oil/butter on the cap or outside of the bottle/container it's in. I don't want to feel the oil when turning the cap or opening the container.
-Spaces that ventilate so hard the air feels dry and just makes you thirsty (most retail spaces).
-New car headlights that might as well be your brights.
-Standing in shower water. I need that water to flow down the drain.. if it starts backing up, I'm not showering. I'm cleaning out the drain.
-How to describe this.. my feet in the winter will be cold without socks, but with socks they tend to get warm enough to sweat which then makes them cold and now wrapped in a sock. There's no winning.

Dry clothes on wet skin.

People who smack when they chew

Lisps. I can hear even a slight one

Dry pasta sauce stuck to the lid or the entrance, I hate it.

The preview of hereditary rheumatoid arthritis.

Bass(Musical bass), the sound of metal cutlery scrapping against themselves, and the "sss" sound that seems exaggerated for sleep related podcasts.

Felt fabric

Any sort of collar on a shirt except surprisingly dress shirts. Also tags on shirts, but those are slowly disappearing so I'm getting the option to not buy tagged shirts.

I blame it on an itchy wool sweater I wore when I was a kid that is my earliest sense of the feeling.

Just talking/thinking about itchy collars can give me goosebumps!

Detached pubic hair.

Children.

I have so many. Here are some top ones:

• Grinding metal utensils on plates/teeth
• Stepping on something wet
• Motorcycles / purposefully loud exhaust mods
• Most mouth sounds in general

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 🥲)

If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else

Hearing the sound of people eating. Especially if it's louder than what i would consider normal.

• Loud conversations. If you need to speak loudly at the person right next to you, you need to get your hearing checked.
• Excessive perfume
• Bright headlights

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.

The fact that 99% of LED Christmas lights are mini strobe lights.

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.... :/

Dyson hand dryers.

How something so loud can be installed in public without hearing protection beats 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.

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.

Eating noises

Fibers snagging on a chewed or broken nail

Pencil with the tip broken off on paper.

High pitched noises (CRT displays, dyson vacuums)

Sweating while wearing full clothing

Microfiber hand towels that don't properly absorb water

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.

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.

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.
