What Really Grosses You Out?

[gryeyes]

Kitty vomit. The act and cleanup make me gag. My husband and I arranged a deal years ago. I deal with the kids' boogery noses and he cleans up the kitty vomit that I hide from view with a paper towel.

Well, sure! If they didn't flex and arch their entire bodies to expel the food they ate too fast or, worse, a hair ball, it wouldn't be quite so awful. I have been known to grab a cat and carry it quickly outside of the house, hoping to get it outside before the vomit is expelled all the while starting to salivate and gag, myself. I love cats, and as fond as I am of those in my household over the years, I know they do it on purpose. Hard to feel sorry for 'em. Dogs, on the other hand, get such sad and miserable expressions when they urp I do feel sorry for them. But it still starts me gagging.

This reminds me of a funny Danny Buoy stand-up routine. It gets me in tears every time.

Skip to the 6 minute mark.

Mold, some invertebrates, spit/drool (I like babies, but drool grosses me out enough that I can't hold them), blood, shots (I can't even think of shots for long without getting really grossed out). And probable more. Ironically I can watch surgeries on tv as long as I don't have to see shots.

Fly-strike grosses me out. Nothing worse than seeing a bunch of maggots eating the flesh of a live animal.

Worms, maggots, nude-snails (without a shell, with shell they are okay), spurting blood (dry blood okay) and needles in vains (non vains okay).

It is more then afraid but a phobia unfortunately.

I'm quite ashamed of it.

But it keeps me feeling okay that I have no problem with spiders, snakes, vomit, poop, bones that are broken or any nasty thing with no blood, etc. I work in places where I have to go through vomit bit by bit, or people that hanged themselves... and my phobia other team-mates can do, and I can solve their phobia. There is no shame in not handeling certain stuff; when we can catch each other and do what an other person can't do at that moment and vica versa. I do one that puked/pood, they do one that the maggots got to. Everyone 'happy' (noone actually happy offcourse, it's never a fun job how lightly I might seem talking about it).

I hate going into a ladies room and finding boo, piss, blood or what not ON the seat and finding out too late it was on the floor also and my shoes found it. WHAT PIGS.

I have cleaned many toilets. And the girls room is often way more gross. In man's toilets you find more stuff broken, toiletrolls or drinking-glasses stuffed in the toilet , pee next to the toilet, sometimes blood from a fight, but the main red line is demolished stuff. Does the toilet have a seat? well not anymore at the end of the evening..
The lady's on the other hand...not so destructive... but I am still wondering who the lady's are and why, that actually stick their used pads on the wall or write stuff with their period blood (barf). WHY. How does that work in your mind when sitting on the toilet that that is a good idea. Please just demolish stuff IF wou want to make some statement. You secret dirty lady's! Or put that used pad on your forehead so we can have a conversation in the hope I can finally solve the mystery that starts with WHYYYY?

Yeah, that's pretty gross.
