What makes you go "Yuk!" ?

Saw a program last night were a mother gave her grown son a snog and he returned the complement, still feel sick thinking about it.?

My dogs do lick my face and i'm ok with that. My husband can't stomach the poo lifting duties so that falls to me. I grew up on a farm so excrement doesn't faze me but he's a city boy! I think we all have our own sick inducing things. I used to see a woman on my morning commute who took the time to excavate the dirt from her nails and then file them before brushing the detrius onto the floor. I also refuse to eat in a coffee shop where the food is self service as I've see so many examples of people lifting things with the bare hands and then replacing the item. People in the queue sniffling, sneezing and coughing over the items is just not on. I only go to those places where the items are lifted from behind glass by the staff. Worst peeve of all however has to be all those people who sneeze then wipe their nose with the back of their hand and carry on doing whatever they were doing or in some cases even then wipe the hand on their clothes.

Surely Conni7 if there are germs floating around we are breathing them in all the time? Sometimes I think we can be a bit too fussy.

When we come downstairs first thing each morning our Terrier comes to us and we get a lick on the face-to say good morning Mum and Dad. Once a day our cat would sit at the side of the kitchen sink and meow to have a drink from the running tap. He thought it was great.
Occasionally I go next door for a coffee and cake, and our neighbour comes out with dettol spray and wipes down the work top after serving us, now that does make me go Yuk!

Fish counters in Supermarkets, open to all those germs floating around. Why don't they cover them?

Also people picking their noses & people who fart!

Dog poo!

People spitting on the pavement, people blowing their nose with their fingers and men in particular sniffing enough to drag a small person up their nostrils.

tanith better that than the other way around. Mines slugs, I'm fine with snails though

Skweek1 definitely yuk!!.

I have a cat who belonged to my DD, when I moved nearer to her she asked me to have cat "as he would be company for me". He does jump up on the worktops but he was fed on top of the freezer when DD had him as she had 3 small dogs.

At almost 7 years old I was never going to break that habit, I do use chopping boards & clean worktops.

Cat's worst habit is sitting on my Dinning Table when I'm out, he sits looking out of the window.

Dogs licking faces YUK

Polyester I am with you on this, I think the only thing that makes me go yuk is spitting. Out in SE Asia at the moment and spent the day at a village house teaching basic sewing skills. We ate lunch sat on the floor with our hands after washing them in the bowl and ate I don’t no what or how it was prepared but I did refuse the curried snails. Stomachs fine.

Reading the Howard's End thread reminded me that watching other people on tv or film having rampant sex makes me go Yuk!
Please leave something to the imagination

Accidentally stepping on a slug in bare feet (no, I've never seen a slug in shoes, either!)

I don't think anything does. What I have to do regularly probably would have many of you going yuk....hahaha. I live on a narrow boat and have to dispose of my own waste by emptying the cassette. I do use half a bottle of Disinfectant to make sure it is thoroughly clean after many rinses.

Walking around the house in shoes.Makes me cringe.

People, especially old people, kissing babies and toddlers on the lips.

To be honest, not a lot makes me go 'yuk' - I'm with polyester57. I actually think that one of the reasons I'm rarely ill is because I've filled myself with plenty of antibodies over the years. Living on a farm with chickens, dogs and other animals bodily fluids don't worry me, nor does plucking, scaling, gutting animals worry me. I think we live a very over - sanitised world. My son claims that the reason he never had any allergies is because he became resistant to all the usual germs at a young age.

I love dogs. Enjoy having them around the place. Enjoy their company but .... can’t stand them licking faces. DD1 has two spaniels who are trained not to lick, come and stay with us often and I love them to bits, but - the last time we went to see them their very aged cat had pooed (she uses an incontinence pad instead of a litter tray), I noticed it, took the cups I was carrying into the kitchen and by the time I got back it had gone! One of those horrible hounds had eaten it! Double treble yuk!! (Cat is on her last legs and is probably not digesting most of her food - but that doesn’t help!)

Watching someone lick and replace spoons into the condiment jars placed placed on a table in a restaurant - never touch serve yourself salad bars etc.. Always try to wear gloves especially when using public transport or pushing supermarket trolleys.

Vomiting on TV! It seems, in almost every episode of one show or another someone vomits. Cannot understand why it has to actually be shown in graphic detail!

People changing babies' nappies on picnic tables at country parks; handbags on tables in restaurants after their owners have probably put them on the floor in the ladies' loo; toilet rolls in public loos - prefer those sheets that you pull out of a receptacle as you don't know what the last user had on their hands when they pulled down the roll to tear sheets off!; people not washing their hands post loo; I could go on........

What makes me go yuk and makes me feel sick is when someone gets out a tissues and has a good blow of their nose at a dinner table. That will put me right off eating.

Rotten frozen savoy cabbage. The smell was absolutely dreadful. Had been left in the shed, happened about30 years ago.

Anyone on a cooking programme that dips a spoon into their cooking to taste , then puts in back in the pan makes me feels very queasy indeed.

What a queasy lot you all are! I have been a cat and dog owner all my life, I don´t let my dog lick my face as a rule, don´t like it, but I´m not saying that he´s not had the odd lick. Dogs are like that. My cat used to jump up on the kitchen counters, cats are naturally inquisitive, he had to have one leg amputated because of cancer and now can´t get up anymore, but I didn´t find it too upsetting, I just put him down every time. Like most people, I use chopping boards for preparing food. Children do eat their snot, whether it upsets you or not, they will eventually stop. I eat snails and love them. There is very little that makes me go "yuck" and I very rarely get ill. My own personal gripe is cloth handkerchiefs, absolutely disgusting, people shaking them out in public and reusing them time and time again. And, as a European, people walking into my living room in their outdoor shoes.
