What Makes You Squirm?

February 5th 2008 22:17

If ever there was an open ended question - it would have to be this.

Afterall there's a bevy of squirms out there - some yet to be discovered I would hasten to add.

Of course there are a few universal skirms - such as fingernails on a blackboard the thought of finding a hair in a sandwich - but what of those 'pet squirms' the ones you call your own?

Perhaps its dentists visits, or the squeeky noise from a felt tip pen.

Maybe it's an individual or celebrity who makes you squirm?

Whatever it is - would love to hear it.

Road kill, blood and guts, the thought of botox (needle in face), finding mouldy food in the fridge, slime.

Needles - ouch!

Had a fairly major sporting injury a few years back which resulted in having injections and blood tests daily for about a month. So each day I had the joy of having 4 needles - thought I'd overcome that little fear - but apparently not.

Though I'm alot braver now

Cheers

MNG, needles definitely! Punch me in the face, pinch me hard, pull my hair - I'm alright with all that. But seeing that silver long sharp thing makes me whimper like a wimp. And I seriously would hate having to go through 4 needles a day! Argh!

Hate to admit this - but spiders (any kind) don't faze my in the slightest. My kids and wife hate it when I pick them up in my hand should I find them inside the house before I put them out into the garden.

Ain't it funny how things work?

There's something unnatural about it isn't there.

I've told my kids that their grandkids won't know the meaning of needles or people having scars for the that matter - as invasive surgery etc will be a thing of the past.

Now as for body piecings - now that's another post altogether.

Hi MNG,

I have no problem with little critters and crawlies either, as a rule, but bare feet on the bottom of a river with slimy rocks and other *shiver* unmentionable things...ewwww ... *running screaming* ...same for walking through seaweed in the surf...

Schhhh ...When camping, the envirowarrior usually swims across the top of the water, never touching the bottom (or she wears plimpsoles).

Crocodiles, and the like, grabbing poor 'bambi' by the nose and dragging them to their deaths...[I]hate that![/I] I'd be a terrible life photographer, I'd be shooing them away all the time.

Drooling snot out of someone's nose....eeehhh!

Vomit...does ANYONE like it???

Someone sneezing without covering their face and they spray your food.....they should all be executed!

That should do for now MNG!

Hi MNG

Brushing biscuit crumbs off a wooden rolling pin.

The slimy crunch of squishing a large insect/arachnid.

People publicly embarrassing themselves.

Having an foot-arch itch when wearing lace-up shoes.

Fun Facts

Definitely the needles!

How about the eating of the worm in the bottom of a bottle of tequila?
Mind you, if you've already drunk the whole bottle on your own then there's probably not much left to squirm at.

Spiders, god I'm scared of them. I guess it dates back to when I was a young kid and a big black one jumped on my arm. I freaked out extremely bad and I've been scared of them since.

I really, REALLY people chewing in my ear. My friend was chewing in my ear once and I told him to stop as it annoyed me. He chewed in my ear as a joke and I almost ripped his head off.

Can't vouche for all of these - but the publicliy embarrassing ones - yep, for sure.

I really hate (there's a strong word) - when radio stations do the whole prank call thing and the recipient has no idea - it's something that makes me very uncomfortable for the person involved.

Thanks

I can't touch cotton wool. The texture of it and the squeaky softness of it makes my skin crawl. It's equal with nails on the chalkboard to me. icky.

Oh and like Lilla - I can't touch the bottom of a river. I don't mind swimming in a river, but god I hate walking into it.....that gooey mud and you never know what's down there.....no thanks

And lastly.......spiders. Terrified of em!

So I guess the thought of floating on cotton wool clouds never really did much for you as a youngster - huh?

As for murky river bottoms - nothing quite beats treating on an eel - now that's enough to put you off things for a while - I'm here to tell you.

Did a triathlon in Sydney Harbour many years ago - tragic day - overcast/rain yaddah yaddah - and had to tread water under the Harbour Bridge for 3 or 4 minutes before the gun went off - now given the clarity of the water (which meant you could see about 6 inches in front of you) that really gave me the willies.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gosh - what happens when you get that incredible itch in the middle of your back when you're in public?

Hmmm - do I scratch and soothe the itch (and make myself squirm) or do I put up with it and send myself round the twist?

Ouch!

Woe is you indeed

Alpaca Notes - Tasmania

Needles have been conquered (blood donor now). But those medical shows where they're pulling out nails or stakes that people have impaled themselves on, are a bit ikky to watch.

Spiders, worms etc, no probs, but cleaning out a wheelie bin with maggots - eugghhhh!

Woe betide anyone who puts meat scraps in my wheelie bin!

Oh yeah, and cataract surgery or laser. Anything involving a scalpel and an eyeball where the patient is conscious.
