I won't eat, not even taste, food that has a name I find distasteful. Couscous, humus, sloppy joes are a few.

I don't like hummus and I think everybody I know does.

I cannot stand hummus, reminds me of stinky feet.

I do too. I try to hold it as long as possible to avoid public restrooms, but sometimes you just gotta go.

Flush with the foot, turn off the faucets with one of the paper towels since you have just washed your hands, and use a paper towel to open the door to leave since a lot of people do not wash their hands.

How many times I have seen someone use a public bathroom in a restaurant touch all that is in there than sit down and eat their dinner, YUCK!!

I do.

Sometimes it's difficult when you're wearing boots though.

Odd ... but I can't drink from anything that is opaque.

I absolutely cannot stand it when people chew gum noisily. I think they look like cows chewing their cuds. Never gave my kids a piece of gum, ever. Had to change bowling teams because one of the other ladies cracked her gum incessantly!

I can't share eating anything with someone else. Once they have started eating it or taken a bite, I cannot eat any of it. Oddly, I was the same with my babies. I could clean up anything they did, but I could not eat anything off their plates or share a bite of something with them. I have been that way my whole life.

I also cannot stand a top sheet on my bed. Any sheet set I buy, the top sheet gets wasted or I give it away. If I can buy sheets separately, I just don't buy the top sheet.

Also, when there are linen shows on the Q, there is one woman who, the whole time she is on camera, is constantly rubbing and smoothing out the sheets. I can't watch it, even though I love linens. It gives me the heebie jeebies!

ETA: My beloved sister used to share her apples with her dogs and horses!! (Sometimes the horse got the whole thing though.) But she would take a bite and they would take a bite . . . never bothered her!

Snarky - I thought you were going to say you change your nic every summer school holiday!

Oh, I can't stand either.

When I used to ride the subway in NYC every day I'd have to hold myself back from smacking someone who was cracking their gum next to me.

OMG, gum cracking drives me up a wall, it is like nails on a chalkboard, actually worse! I absolutely cannot be around someone who cracks gum.
