I forgot about dry hands! Dry hands also drive me absolutely crazy. I spend most of the winter caking my hands in lotion -- but then again there are some lotions that make me feel weird too.

It's a battle.

Have you tried picking up a microfibre cloth with dry hands? It makes you feel like you have velcro skin.

Newly washed laundry is also one of mine. I try to be a good husband and help fold the clothes... but it is sometimes all I can stand to get through a whole load of them.

Newspaper
Plaster
Tags on clothing! I hate these so much! I rip them off everything, regardless of if it puts holes in my clothes.
Some carpet
Wet floors
Crunchy matter in food that should be smooth (Crumbs in butter, for instance). I hate it when food grits between my teeth

Textures are bad, but sounds are worse.

I hate the feel of Kiwi skin it makes me cry it is so overbearing that it borders on pain. I also hate the texture or bananas. I cant eat them!

I think its crazy because I feel my tastebuds are UNDERT stimulated. Usually I eat very flavorful foods. Super spicy sirriacha, I LOVE crunchy loud food (unlike the majority) through I hate to hear others chew, but the texture of the food has to be dry and crunchy or either one if not both, because WET food makes me gag, SOGGY food makes me want to vomit.

I can't handle anything slippery or damp, it's revolting to a degree that increases clumsiness. I also can't handle wrinkled or stretched fabrics, it is just torturous! Seams and high sound frequencies I can tolerate for awhile, but crack in a short time.

I'm the same with clothing labels, rip them all out, making holes in my clothes sometimes but I cannot stand having them on there. When I was little I used to pull any tag off soft toys etc aswell. Hate tags.
