…sights that make me a little queasy:
1. Spiders. Did you know that someone did the math once and figured out that you are never more than 6 feet away from a spider? The person who told me this clearly didn’t know the stress this would cause me. I prefer to simply doubt the legitimacy of said math. Someone forgot to carry the one or something because I just don’t think that’s true. It can’t be. No really, it. can’t. be.
2. Old women (or men) with long hair. I don’t know why long old white hair grosses me out, but it does. Sometimes it’s yellowy or salt-and-peppery blowing all loosey goosey in the wind…and I just want to run away.
3. Eating competitions. Watching someone shove 6 hot dogs, or anything, into their mouth is just not something I can stomach.
4. Other people’s stray hair. If I like the person, and it’s still attached to them, I’m OK. But finding other people’s hair on anything else makes me sick. I hold my breath instinctively until it’s gone. The absolute worst? Hair on soap. Skeeviness of the world!
5. Crabs. They look too much like spiders. Even in the water. Pointy legs! Bah!
And you?

If there's a hair in my food, I can't eat it - even if it just shot off of my own head.
1. Mold
2. Mildew
3. Televised surgery, although it's hard for me to tear my eyes away
4. Hearing about someone's toenail problems
5. Gross kitchen sinks
1. Weevils-especially smashing one with my bare feet or finding one in something that I have already eaten half of
2. Bits of food in the kitchen sink
3. not always, but- raw meat and raw eggs
4. Anything in my meat that is not meat ( Aaron found a full-on in-tact nerve/vein thing that looked like a tree branch in his chicken the other day)
5. Centipedes
Keri, I could hardly read your comments. Yuck, yuck and yuck. I totally agree and Laurel, I'm blond, have long hair and my favorite color to wear is black. How have you tolerated me so long?
1. Squiggles-drawn, animated, whatever, they really bother me—I have literally had nightmares about moving squiggles.
2. Pork Rinds, can't look see or hear about them without getting queasy.
3. Peeling skin from sunburns—makes my skin crawl, but who can resist those stretchy, paper pulls.
4. Ear Hair. I want to grab any I see, even on strangers (particularly on subways), and eradicate it. Sitting on my hands helps me resist a blindsiding tug.
5. Dave adds NYC cabs. He states he would rather change a diaper than ride in a cab.
Hi Laurel! I just had to comment on your blog because I had the most terrifying spider experience (I found one the size of plum next to my bed yesterday!!!) and I had to laugh when I saw what you wrote about spiders. I also read that during a person's lifetime they will eat around 50 spiders while they are asleep. Disgusting!!!!
I'm totally going to start sleeping with a painter's mask on. I'm not even kidding.
-wet stray hairs. i want to vomit right now.
-long fingernails. especailly if they aren't all exactly the same length. i have to leave the room if i see someone with long toenails. no tolerance for that.
-the smell of walmarts nationwide. is it syrup i'm smelling? urine? i can never tell. and that's scary.
p.s. laurel, it's me, katie (rich). i'm way too lazy to open up my own google acct, so i use my sister-in law's. . .
1-wigs, on or off, they give me the heebie jeebies
2-the sound of a bug getting squished - that "pop" gives me chills
3-maggots-enough said!
4-getting all the hair out of the tub drain-almost makes me gag thinking about it
5-boogers-so disgusting, they belong inside/unseen-I don't want to see them (Nate likes to gross me out sometimes on purpose)
I love the idea. Thinking of all these things makes my belly a little queasy...
