Styrofoam! I can't even stand to see someone else open, close or touch one of those coolers much less do it myself.

the dancing, the costumes, the people ... cool as hell. the culture ... enviable in many ways, and the yup'ik masks
make me want to burn my honkie card and pray for absolution. but dang, the pounding section which i charitably abbreviate
as bam-bam instead of bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam- ... bamBAM!
... during an eighteen year period of psycho-socio immersion managed to hollow out
an impacted void in my otherwise admiristic-compassiothetic cortex

Beer.

Loathe the smell let alone taste. Somewhere between armpits and old sports socks.

Dont like weed smoke much either. Like smouldering newsprint.

If i werent a mescaline, coffee and tequila type of guy id be a real drag at parties.

Walking on damp/ wet sand sometimes has a squeaking effect that drives me nuts. Dry sad is fine, and if i'm in the water or wave flow no biggie.

These are awesome. My mom has the styrofoam thing too. Doesn't matter if it is peanuts or blocks of it, she'll leave the room at any hint of styrofoam.

Wet sand is wild too!

My old boss, and friend, was going on a road trip from Michigan to North Carolina. I wedged 2 pieces of Styrofoam under the back seat of his suburban. He said he lost his mind to a random squeek about 6 hours into the drive and found the prank at a rest stop....

Deep thread. And I love it!

Two things for me:

1. Dog crap that inadvertently got onto the bottom of my shoes;

2. "Stinky" vegetables (eg. broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.). What confuses me is why someone would smell one of those veggies, say to themselves, "Wow! That smells like a bad diaper--or dog crap on the bottom of my shoes!" and then ponder to themselves, "Hmmm...I wonder what it tastes like..."

Vodka martinis. Not so much my kryptonite, but my "Mr. Hyde" elixir. I've been a bad boy in the past on those devil drinks.

Mmm? The sound of Velcro'd waist strap on my harness, slowly tearing. This happens more often when top-roping.
I try to remember to separate the ends before I leave the ground, & pull the Velcro apart as soon as I do remember.

If you keep to things that register on the 'Vominator' scale; those things that cause such great revile that they cause bile to travel upwards, to the esophagus, or cause spontaneous realesasd bodily fluids Of any kind from any location
( just the thought of something, counts, as avoiding direct contact is part of the definition of kryptonite )
Xx ing" yellow jackets, ground wasps, garbage bees,

Needles, the dentist still insists on using.

Seeing someone pulling out a nerve block)!:o0(

Watching surgery/ hospitals - the whirling, sounds, smells & energy all make the 'Vomninator'

Listening to people chew chips or cereal. I instantly hate the trespasser until they are done.
Also, the slurping of soup or coffee.

My brother and Dad both have problems with the sound of ice. Chewing is the worst for them, but my bro can't even handle the breaking of the ice trays or when the water hits the ice and cracks. He describes it like Roger Rabbit's reaction to the knocks on the wall.

The strong sweetish stinky smell of laundry detergent or fabric softener that always accompanies people you meet on trails hiking. It always makes me cringe.

Also going back to work after a great climbing trip.

Mister E you are right. Someones dog returning to camp with TP in it's mouth is pretty bad!
