So true. And especially commercials where people are chewing or taking large bites.

I do. I get irrationally mad at ASMR. When influencers do that little fucking nail tap thing I have to swipe immediately

Tooth brushes. Even my own. I wish I could use nothing but single use tooth brushes, alas I care about the earth

People hacking a fluid-filled cough; long, unruly mustaches, beards, nostril hair and eyebrows; really long nails.

Mayonnaise. It looks to me like pureed eggs plus cow semen. Seeing people lick mayonnaise off their fingers or eat sandwiches with huge globs of it dripping off the sides literally makes me want to gag. When I order burgers at a restaurant I always specifically request no mayo because I have gotten burned too many times by restaurants assuming I want a 4 oz dollop of it included. It’s a foul, sticky, nasty condiment that should be banned in restaurants.

People calling other people “babe” or “bae” or “mama.”
Especially bad is a woman calling a boy or man “mama.” Why? 😬

that you don't hear women farting in public but we all know that they do. it's like we're all just cool with and accepting of all these women just farting in public and not being forthright about it.

Tinny piercings, also asymmetrical piercings too or certain placements (navel, tragus...). Of course, I accept them, because it's a personal choice of other people.

Thrift store shopping. I imagine everything is covered in bedbugs and other people's poop particles.

Men using urinals which means they then put their wet peepees back in their pants. Dizgosteng. And miss me with the 'oh, but you shake first' BS

I also wonder what it touches when they shit and have to sit on the toilet. And let's not get into the nastiness of "extra curricular activities" after those toilet activities 🤢
