What Disgusts You?
What disgusts you? I’m not talking about slimey, oozy things. I mean things that probably shouldn’t be disgusting, but for some reason, really makes you gag. I’m talking about social things.
For me, I’m disgusted by people who have tongue studs and are always playing with it. Flicking the stud with their teeth, it makes this awful metallic high-pitched door knocker sound. The only reason I don’t grab that tongue stud and rip it out is fear of being bitten by someone who might have rabies. People who get their tongues pierced and flick them don’t often look like the sort who bathe regularly.
I’m also disgusted by underage girls who dress like whores. These little girls make me sick. Just because they’re jailbait, doesn’t mean they have to advertise that fact. Hey little girls, cover the fuck up!
Speaking of women who show to much skin. How about muffintops. I’ve got nothing against women with a bit of meat on them. I kinda like it. But you get these women who are a little bit overweight walking around in low-rider pants that are two sizes too small, then they wear those baby tees that leave their midrift showing. The tightness of the clothing forces the flab into the naked area of the lower torso. It makes the woman look like she’s wearing a flesh-coloured innertube; a picture perfect image of a spare tire.

Take a look at this photo I found from googling “muffin top” and you’ll see a good example of the flesh innertube. This woman is not huge. She didn’t just escape from a tank at Sea World. She’s just a regular woman, maybe a pound or two over her suggested weight. For all I know, she could be a very attractive woman. But here she is, walking around, looking like she’s got a floatation device wrapped around her. If she put on some proper clothes, I wouldn’t have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach as the bile builds and rises.
Here are some other things that sicken me:
Light cigarettes. Me, I don’t smoke. Never have. But I can understand the appeal of tobacco smoke. Real tobacco, has an odour that is tolerable. But today, with these light cigarettes, doped up with all kinds of chemicals, they smell just God awful.
Guys who only date women under twenty. If the guy is twenty, it’s okay. But once the guy starts getting close to thirty, it becomes disgusting. It only stops being disgusting in the situation where the guy is old and rich and the woman is a gold-digging model. But at that point, the thought of an old naked man is disgusting all on its own.
So, again I ask, what disgusts you?

Women who wear that fake, gaudy rhinestone jewelry from Claires or any place like that.
People who ride in the car with you while talking on their cell phone the ENTIRE time.

I’m with you on the muffin-tops. Very bad things indeed.
My social disgusts of late include these behaviors: driving in the rain without headlights on; talking to someone while looking down, instead of at their eyes; people confusing “its” and “it’s,” or using apostrophes to make regular words plural; and cell phone talking at the urinal.
That’s just a start.

People who read Perez Hilton disgust me. Hillary voters disgust me.

I have never seen some of the ones that David listed. Meanwhile WIGSF, I thought you asked for ones that aren’t universal. I think some of the ones you listed are quite universal.

Tardiness
People who blow their nose in public
People who spit on the street

Maxie - when people talk on their cellphone in a car with me, I make lots of noises. I’ll pretend to be some cheap floozy or a barnyard animal. It really depends on the situation. Whatever I can do to get the person in the car on the phone to be embarrassed as much as possible.
David Amulet - people who drive without their lights on in situations where lights aren’t just required, but the non-moronic thing to do, scare the shit outta me. They can easily cause avoidable accidents.
Wiwille - people who are Perez Hilton disgust me.
Bob - Nope. People who do these awful things don’t find them disgusting. If they did, they wouldn’t do it.
Miss Ash - I haven’t even met you and I already disgust you. That’s a new personal best for woman repulsion.

People have who have a problem with the age gaps in other peoples relationships. Surely it’s nothing to do with you and it’s not causing you any problems.
People who go out of their way to drive into puddles just to splash me.
People who are just famous for the sake of being famous, and have never actually done anything worth-while.
People who play music loud on their cell phones on busses.
Not having any clean socks to wear.

People who hork up phlegm and spit it out on the floor. Not only do people do this outside, but on the floors of some indoor public spaces, like the subway. I’d like to be able to rest my heavy groceries on the floor without worrying about phlegm gobs.
People who talk more loudly than necessary in a restaurant or other public space so no one else can hear anything but that particular boring, annoying conversation.
People who can’t walk past a mirror without admiring their own reflection.

Where shall I begain;
Men with black socks and sandles.. I picture woolies on the feet. Yuck
Women with their “whale tales” showing. (for those who don’t know what a whale tale is, it is when a woman’s tong is sticking half way up their back)
Sloppy drunk middle aged women.
People talking with their mouth full. (of food, that is)
..that’s all I have for now
May 7, 2008 at 3:44 pm
helloblog - yeah, I disgust myself sometimes too.
Spark - If you looked as good as me, you’d stop at every mirror and smile too.
Sarebeth - Whale tales… thanks for the definition. I’d never heard that one before. I agree with you as well.

WIGSF, i disagree. Take your “muffintops” i am sure if you ask the women she would say she hates when people do that and thinks girls who do that are ugly then the next day she would do the same thing but the difference is: She thinks she looks terrific.
Meanwhile, the young girls who dress like whores, I don’t care if they don’t think it is disgusting, they are minors and they are wrong.

People who stink. I’m super sensitive to smells and I cannot stand B.O. or God-knows-what wafting from stinky people. Blechhh!
I also get disgusted by people with greasy hair. Just today, I was sitting by some greasy-haired guy who looked like he could solve the oil crisis. YUCK!! What’s in that hair?! I don’t want to know, actually. Just wash it!!! Please!

For starters: long fingernails or toenails. Obviously having long toenails is the bigger crime, punishable by death, but long fingernails strikes me as unsanitary. All kinds of nasty stuff hide under there.
And nail biting.

Bob - I agree with your statement about muffintops. Women are crazy like that.
Random Chick - do I disgust every single woman on the planet? I guess so. I guess you can call me Smelly Greasy Guy.
Stranger - phew, finally a woman I don’t sicken. My nails are always well groomed.

Oh, so many… how about three:
People who scream and hit their small children in public.
People who leave trash in movie theaters and fast food places.
People who try to push their beliefs on other people.
May 7, 2008 at 11:14 pm
I’ve got so many pet peeves, but I’ll just list three.
1) People who confuse their homonyms and can’t spell for shit
2) Slow drivers
3) Stupid drivers
I also really agree about the young kids who dress like whores. I just had a conversation about this issue with somebody who believed that the kids were just going through a natural phase where they were tuning into their feminine side. The way I see it, female does not equal tramp. Those kids need to be forced to wear decent clothing until they’re old enough to understand the implications of their appearance on the rest of society. Dumbasses…
May 7, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Right-turning drivers who try to get a jump on pedestrians as soon as the light goes green.
People with really greasy skin, so greasy it’s shining. Eww. Eww!
Re. that muffintop photo… that looks like it really hurts. As in, cutting into the skin. Ouch.

1 big one. bloggers who won’t grow ballz and ask out other bloggers.

Andrea - All good things to be disgusted by. Especially the movie theatre one. I hate sticky movie theatre floors. It’s so bad, I don’t want to wear nice shoes to the movies.
Grace - sher, thos ar sum gud poynts u mad.
Aurora - It does look painful, but here’s my theory. Anybody that dumb to dress like that, is too stupid to feel slight pain and discomfort.
Agvelarde - Oh dang. The feared African burn. I am hanging my head in shame.
May 12, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Poor personal hygiene, and people who can’t eat properly. And also men who scratch their balls, in public.
May 12, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Modobs - do you have any idea how much they itch?
May 13, 2008 at 12:00 pm
had me laughing out loud with that one. not the cute little “lol” of the internet but the actual coworker asking “what are you laughing at?” type.
But along with the muffin top…how about the ones who, to say politely, are not in the “healthy” weight class who feel compelled to wear stirrup pants?
Hey, I may not be tiny, but at least I recognize and cover up…how about they give us the same courtesy?
well said
