The unforgettable mustard sequence in Jackass, and my girlfriend's irrational hatred of non-natural sponges (she cannot have them near her)prompts me to ask: do you have an irrational hatred of something?

Video cassettes.

hehe - oh yes jim!


My friend mother has a phobia of buttons - yes not a dislike or a preference a genuine PHOBIA. bad on items of clothing but much much worse if they are loose.

jed_e_3 (jed_e_3), Monday, 1 September 2003 23:01 (twenty-three years ago)

This is a surprisingly common phobia. A boyfriend of my sister's had it and I have known other people to concede that yes, they do avoid buttons if they can (for no aesthetic or practical reason they can identify).

those really soft and fuzzy velourish blankets with satin edging. they make me want to scrape my skin off with a cheese grater.

Pastel-colored-ink pens; I mean, seriously, what the fuck are you gonna do with a pink-ink pen? Unless you have some kinda magic BLACK paper, wtf good are these things?

Everybody. sorry, just jokin;)

Chewing gum. Brrr. Yick.

Jesse Fuchs (Jesse Fuchs), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Toe socks! These things are a crime against humanity and must be destroyed above all else! No one wants to look at your bizarre rainbow-striped monkey feet!!

Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Blasphemy! toe socks are the gloves of the feet! Are you a mitten person also? i may have to reconsider our friendship!

Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha! I own 3 pairs of toe socks.

N14h would look funny in toe socks cuz her toes are like other peoples' fingers.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

You people are insane. Toe socks make me want to stab feet.

Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Like stabbing feet is the world's most rational activity!

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

It seems like everything I post these days is Perry-bait.

Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

answering machines. Hell, phones in general. I'd rather send an email from my phone then call someone. This is why cell phones have messed my world up.
I still hate them. Thing damm near gives me a heartattack when it goes off.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, I'm right there stabbing feet with you; I hate toe-socks. I was just marvelling at the incongruity.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

mock turtlenecks. both the actual item as it appears and the abstract idea of these things pains me.

Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 19:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Blasphemy! toe socks are the gloves of the feet!

this sentence makes me indescribably happy!

nickalicious is TREMENDOUSLY OTM here. Thank you!

Chewing gum. Brrr. Yick.

*chews gum in Jesse's general direction, laughs*

Just Deanna (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Flip-flops.

Jellyfish, though the fuckers keep stinging me, so it's pretty damn rational.

Blowing up balloons, or worse, people near me blowing up balloons. I can't bear the anticipation that they might pop. Balloons filled with jellyfish!

Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm with you on toe-sock. bleargh!

and overhead lights really, really freak me the fuck out.

Nick, there is black paper, it's hardly magic though.

Turtle neck tops.
Melville,Saskatchewan.( It' s a place I realize, but in my mind it feels like it should be a object. I drive round at all cost.)

BALLOONS! Thankyou Mark C, I thought I was mental for being scared of balloons. People inflating them, or squeezing and squeaking them near me, makes me want to hide behind the couch in abject terror.

To a lesser extent, champagne bottles (I always want to pronounce it "shampaggan" after seeing Futurama, heh) do this to me as well, and I often make someone else pop the cork.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 3 September 2003 01:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm scared of going over (or under for that matter) high bridges as well. I keep thinking they'll collapse. Going over the Westgate Bridge is a white-knuckle nightmare every time, I'm not exaggerating. I dont know where this stupid fear came from.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 3 September 2003 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think you're alone with that fear, Trayce.
