Things you can't look at/touch, or whatever.

I can not touch or look at anything that might be even remotely cold and slimy. Just thinking about it makes me feel ill.

Fat.

Ladies tights and stockings. They're OK when being worn but if a pair of my girlfriends tights falls into the bath whilst they're drying there's no way I can pick them up.

Ed Almos

Cardboard or coarse paper makes me shudder just thinking about it. Also elastic bands... all I can say about that is I feel estactic about that new soft band underwear. LOL

Also the sound a pencil makes on paper... I just got shudderbumps all over my body... ugh.

There are more but those seems to be the worst.

Plaid. My brain struggles with it for some reason.

I freak out at people if they shuffle their bare feet on carpet. Anyone rubbing any kind of fabric, really -- palms especially, and cordoroy and jean fabric is particularly bad. Once I accidentally rubbed my palm on the garage wall, which was unfinished drywall, and the thought STILL makes me anxious, years later. Same thing would apply to chalkboards here. It has to do with...dryness, I think.

People think I'm nuts.

I don't like velour either. Don't know why. Or pottery that's rough, unglazed. Yep, rough textures of various kinds are very unpleasant to me. Prickly. Sharp.
And orange. I loathe the colour orange. Unless it's visibly part of a specifically continuous colour change between red and yellow.
Now i'm on gluten and casein exclusion i realise why when was child used to HATE, feel sick at the prospect and the sight and the taste and the texture of, bread and butter. I preferred dry bread if absolutely had to eat it. ( like when told to leave table in disgrace would get bread and butter. Ugh) Also didn't like sponge cake, texture again.
Also slimey stuff. Real problem.

I used to hate washing dishes because I really disliked the feel of the water on my arms. Back in 5th grade we had to work with paper mache, and I refused to even touch the stuff, it looked so gross (something most guys aren't really concerned about). I seriously had a cow about it. I managed to get over the dishwashing feeling probably because I figured that since I had to do em, I might as well, though I still don't like having suds on my hands, and I always dry my hands the first chance I get. Though, I tend to get more upset about noise or lights at night, or when I'm trying to concentrate. They drive me so crazy sometimes I want to smash something!

People I don't like. Can't look at them, can't touch them, can't be touched by them.
Corduroy. That stuff drives me nuts, and I wont wear it. The sound it makes when you walk makes me want to run away screaming.
Um, gonna stop thinking about this now...

sidewalk chalk...

As a child I hated buttons

Nowadays it just this velour/corduroy/whatever texture... touching it with hands is something like fingernails on chalkboard. Even thinking about touching it gives me chills.
I actually have one sofa and chair made of that material... I keep some of my stuff on them, sitting would be just too "painful"

Floating food particles in dish water... *shudder*
The very thought of biting into a Popsicle... makes me want to scream
Dry skin...
Certain kinds of terry/fleece/microfleece...

I hate when things move in the corners of my vision.
Don't get me started on sounds.

loose strands of hair. it makes my toes curl.
wet feet - as in walking barefoot through wet grass. I absolutely cannot tolerate it. I would rather die.
walking barefoot anywhere, really.
if i ever had to walk barefoot in a public shower I think I would drop dead.

ETA: ok someone got me started on sounds. I can't *STAND* the sound of someone pouring liquid into a glass from a container or pitcher or what have you. It makes me want to scream.

Aluminum foil. I hate the way it feels, and how it sounds but mostly I hate the thought of it being near my food.

Mice or rats - dead or alive.

Cat's tongue.
