I hate cotton balls

Evil Chris · 03-02-2005, 09:48 AM

I can barely look at them, nevermind touch them.
Just the feeling of them freaks me out.

Kinda like fingernails on a chalkboard.. x 100.

sweet7 · 03-02-2005, 10:42 AM

is there a specific reason? like an incident of some kind that traumatized you or just always been that way?

Gruntled · 03-02-2005, 11:15 AM

It's 100 times worse when they are wet. Wet jeans are the same way.

McAttack · 03-02-2005, 11:48 AM

wtf? You're like the 2nd person in the biz that's terrified of cotton balls. How did you go through arts & crafts in elementary school man?

"Alright children, now glue some cotton balls on your easter bunnies and we're done"
Little EC: "AarhhhhhhHHH!" *runs away*

NastyTaylor · 03-02-2005, 12:02 PM

yeah how cotton balls feel freaks me out too!!

dyonisus · 03-02-2005, 12:37 PM

they do feel a little funny, even the cotten pads that are essentially cotton balls flattened and quilted feel odd

sweet7 · 03-02-2005, 12:39 PM

this thread brings one thing to light ---> you guys all have deep rooted problems

Panky · 03-02-2005, 01:27 PM

LOL! I agree with sweet.

I don't mind cotton balls themselves, but I can't stand them in my ears. It takes all I have to use a Q-tip to clean my ears. I hate it!

sweet7 · 03-02-2005, 02:21 PM

you are all a strange bunch........

here's a little something for all of you.

I do think that is strange but then again I get all freaked when I see fermented ketchup.....ewwwwww

sweet7 · 03-02-2005, 04:28 PM

what does fermented ketchup look like?

Jasun · 03-02-2005, 07:23 PM

I now don't feel so odd for being afraid of dust.

Gruntled · 03-02-2005, 09:23 PM

Oh the smell of rancid ketchup....

When my wife was pregnant, she always swore she smelled it. Everywhere. Especially at fast food places....

I never smelled it then, but the thought of the smell is bad enough.

It is DISGUSTING!!!!!

The bottle looks like it is about to explode and it is light and fluffy with lots of bubbles.....I gag big time when I see this.

I used to work at "Long John Silvers" when I was in HS and I had to leave my shift a few time cuz I threw up....

trishie, I can't even open a new pill bottle for fear there is a huge ball of cotton on the top.

I have to get FB to open it for me! LOL
She's mean too... sometimes she chases me around the house with one in her hand, or she'll drop one in my lap when I'm watching television.

You're afraid of dust??? And you live with me???

Oh, you poor thing. I had no idea. I'm gonna have to do something really nice for you.

Evil Chris... um.... well... I don't know what to say. I don't like mold. I'm afraid if I touch it that it will eat me. I know that sounds really odd. So, I guess I'm right there with you. Except that mold is alive, so I'm only half crazy. LOL!

Someone needs to photoshop a little mouth with fangs on the photo of the cotton balls above. Hee hee.

This morning my ears were exposed to some christian music. I've heard this kind of music
before but this morning it almost made me ill.

Then I thought about this thread.

Not true....

DonMike · 03-04-2005, 01:11 PM

You know, I did think of something else that bothers me. You know those pictures that have moving images when you move them around. You usually see them on the covers of childrens books or those freaky religious portraits where Jesus' eyes follow you? Not the holograms but the old fashioned ones that have a sort of ridged surface. I cannot touch those. They look kind of cool but the surfaces makes this awful noise if you accidentally scrape your nails agains it or rub your fingers across the surface. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

I just felt the need to share.
