Poop.
I run the other way when there is a Code Brown. Or I throw up.

Not the homeless zombie guy with head to toe impetigo. Not drunken pizza vomit. Not cdiff diarrhea. Not digital disimpaction. Not the cockroaches and moldy food in the folds and pannus of the morbidly obese woman. Not the blood clot and amniotic fluid stew. Not a bedsore I could’ve fit my fist inside if it wasn’t filled with sh#t, urine and some necrotic bone. Not suctioning bloody snot. Not the drainage from the gangrenous bartholin’s abcess. Not even the face chopped off by a machete.
I can no longer tolerate more than 5 seconds of the lies and incoherent braying of that imbecile in chief that an idiotic minority of Americans helped elect. Ughbrlgah.

So to get away from all the gastronomic Kryptonite...
This stuff took away Superman's magical superpowers, right?
Well, few things shut me down faster than negativity.

My nails scraping unglazed pottery. I shiver each time.
People cracking their fingers. It literally hurts, I feel ill.
Snot.

several:
The first three days of an off shore passage. I am so, so very seasick. And I’ve tried EVERYTHING. After three days, pretty much back in the human world.
watching my dog or cat get a shot. They’re totally unphased, I’m writhing on the floor.
Having to take my son to the dentist when he had to have some teeth pulled prior to braces. Once again he was braveheart, I was a mess (but not in front of him).
Man, what’s up with the suppurative body parts and those being flung over highways? Ickmongus

The stench of cooking bacon! Or pretty much anything. Pork related.
It lingers for days!

Two near the top of my list, neither of which anyone has yet to mention in this thread:
(1) The kitchen scraps jar, after I just emptied it into our "wormy" compost bin, and
(2) The smell when you let air out of a car tire.

The smell when you let air out of a car tire.
In high school we rigged a a compressed air pipe for shotgunning weed. We attached a line to the valve of the spare tire and ran it to a connection on a hash pipe at the front seat.
We thought we were brilliant, until we got a hit of weed with spare tire air!

Wow Gary, like you, I thought I was pretty clever in high school too. I made a bong out of an old Army surplus canteen and a French Horn mouthpiece as a bowl! I bet your invention really took the air out your (pot) sails when you tasted that hit!

For me it is anything that is starting to rot, like yogurt, sour cream, bleu cheese, kimchi, kombucha, etc.
Right??

Gotta ask - what does tire air smell like? I am imagining a mix between warm rubber and a person's bad breath.

Tire air smells like you are chewing on the tire. I used to work in a gas station in high school back when it was full service, and I kind of like the smell. Brings back good memories.

Tearing apart cotton balls. Gives me the willies.
Ditto on the open mouth chewing. Disgusting. I once heard an NPR bit on the different textures of food that involved chewing into a mic. WTF were they thinking?!

sounds to me like you have a problem with the Truth*, huh?
my kryptonic weaknesses include many mentioned above - esp the gunky concentrated evil that liberates when flossing, and the chalkboard squeal of a Stubai hammerpoint dragged over fresh, wet, claystone.
the mild kryptonites too, should not be discounted - snarfing down a "medium" cooked meatwad of deadbeefsandwich in front of my vegan-ish fiancee last night comes to mind.
mainly, I like to think of my good weaknesses, like the damnably fine Res-mutt that owns my life, and my good-goddamn-gorgeous partner D, caretaker of my heart.
