A plastic disposable straw in a plastic disposable lid. The sound hurts my teeth.

Chewing gauze or tissue. Yes I had my wisdoms removed recently.

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.

Wearing latex gloves.

Many many things! Notably though: having anything on my hands (I cook and bake by stocking paper towels and an empty sink and reminding myself constantly I can stop and wash at any time), anything too tight clothing wise (this is so much stuff it sucks), strong perfumes, the scent of peanut butter, feeling a glass that has not been cleaned (it feels ugly)

-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.

I wouldn't mind it being legal but oh my god I can't stand the smell of weed

Not much, but I have nerve damage from injuries and surgeries that drive me nuts. I'd rather they be painful than the half numb, "wrong" feeling I get.

When snow is so cold it is bone dry like a chalk board and squeaks any time it is touched.

It's okay when it first starts crunching and squeaking, but as it gets colder and drier it gets bad.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I guess you could say extreme temperatures, sitting/laying in regular poses, not being dry, and the feeling of dressing up too much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Agreed on chalk and similar feels.
In Germany 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep! I do pottery and absolutely despise how my hands feel covered in dry clay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I was considering you an outlier. Turns out you aren't.

this makes sock shopping immensely difficult

[–] grasshopper_mouse 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] lennybird 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dragging a guitar pick up guitar strings, and touching those hologram images.

[–] ilhamagh 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] gac11 2 points 1 week ago

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!

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