Grow up and eat the fucking onions man

Ehh... no thanks.

Going on the record to say I hate onions. If you simmer them down while cooking, that's delightful, but just plain onions put on top of something? Disgusting (especially raw). I hate the taste. I hate the crunch. If somebody accidentally puts onions on my fast food burger, the whole burger is ruined. I can still taste them even if they get taken off. Something about fast food onions are even more repulsively aromatic than onions you'd find somewhere else.

I'm the same way about bell peppers and mushrooms. If you put a plain pizza in the same container as one with bell peppers on it, even on the other side of the container where they aren't touching, I can taste those goddamn bell peppers on the plain pizza. It's not like I'm crazy, I'm just insanely sensitive to the aroma. Mushrooms are the worst. It isn't just a taste, it's an unpleasant feeling that wafts up through my throat and into my nose when I put it in my mouth. Those three foods are a dealbreaker for me.

We all have foods we don't like, but people who don't have that aroma sensitivity can never understand just how disgusting it is to eat a food that does that to you. It's like your entire mouth and nose are being bombed by it.

I also hate mushrooms in general however, my BIL is able to perform some sorta culinary black magic on them that somehow makes them good.

Petting a cat or dog is fine.

Touching another person is ick.

Not washing hands after using the toilet, further exacerbated by eating or using communal items afterward.

I hate that, which why I am afraid of touching anything.

it surprises me that people keep their toothbrushes on their bathroom sink and also not close their toilet before flushing. even without the toilet thing you need to keep your toothbrush away from the bathroom. so much moisture and debris can get on it.

What grosses me out is people who brush their teeth in the bathroom at work. Strangers are pooping in there!

The worst are the ones who don't rinse the sink after brushing, so it's full of nasty little food particles.

Yeah actually nasty bathroom sinks are a legit ick for me. Having to brush your teeth and rinse in a nasty sink is awful for me

That one especially baffles me.

To me, it's just second nature.

How about people with long hair who let loose strands of their hair stay all over the bathroom? On the floor, in the sink, and especially in the shower.

I don't mind it because it's out of their control. it's like getting rabbit at a dog for leaving fur all over the house.

-eat your vegetables
-seek therapy if you're having panic attacks over vegetables. selective eating disorder is real, but is manageable . You're not childish for wanting to put up with vegetables. We can acknowledge that living your whole life eliminating food groups such as fruits and vegetables from your diet is a very limiting and unhealthy way to live.

"Unless you're growing your own vegetables, the ones you buy from stores are often poorly handled and loaded with pesticides, so they might be doing more harm than good. As long as Im smart about my protein intake and stay physically active, I dont believe I need fruits or vegetables to be healthy."

SLAM YOU GOT ME! it's just a pet peeve of mine when someone is an adult that refuses to eat a wide range of foods

*takes deep breath*

I should not worry about what others do with their lives as long as it is not harming anyone.
People are just different and that's okay.
people refusing to eat vegetables is their problem and it is not my stress to handle.

whatever diet you choose, it needs to include nutrient diversity . eating only meat puts you at risk for high cholesterol and

Probably people who laugh really, really, really hard at their own jokes that arent funny at all.

going to a restaurant and ordering a mocktail or virgin drink is the same price as a drink with alcohol.

So...what about men with long hair?

I'm not a fan of hair everywhere, but it got me more when people would shave and leave those tiny hairs everywhere.

I have long hair and a beard. I clean up after myself but sure sometimes I miss things or hair has come out without me noticing. I hate when people don't clean up after themselves. Even more so when it comes to using the bathroom.

Update:

Some of my greatest icks are people (usually women) who are relentlessly unsatisfied with their meals at restaurants.

Always sending stuff back. Giving the waiter passive aggressive snark. Snide comments about how over/under-seasoned her chicken is. How her steak isnt quite medium rare. Sticking her nose in the air and saying, "I'm not paying for that."

It makes me feel embarrassed to be there with her.

Biggest ick of all time.

I've met women who checked every box known to man....but she suddenly turns into a spoiled, entitled, insatiable, bratty little princess when we go out to eat.

No thanks.

I'm just thinking, "Is this really the same girl? The same girl who just helped me rescue a bunch of stray kittens? The same girl who helped that random lady move into her apartment? The same girl who pulled over to make sure that kid on the side of the road knew where his parents were? Suddenly turns into a professional food critic when we go to a casual restaurant and finds something to complain about with every meal, and makes sure the waiter feels personally responsible for it."

^ is this "women" or "a woman" because all of that sounds very specific lmao

I find that I'm increasingly angry that lawns are a thing. Lawns were invented by British aristocrats to show off that they could pay a bunch of workers specifically to maintain land in an entirely unproductive state. They're ecological deserts that require tons of labor to maintain, and the damned lawn maintenance companies always park their trucks in the damned street and make it everyone else's problem.
If I'm going to do work to maintain something, it's going to be useful. And/or pretty.
Not that I'll ever own a house, of course.

Women. It's happened multiple times. LOL

A combination of mayo and butter with seasonings is optimal.

That's so weird, someone at my work JUST recommended this exact thing a few days ago.

Subbing miracle whip for butter. Insisted it was the best thing in the entire world.

Im guessing it's not? lol

You may be thinking of mayonnaise, which indeed does work. Miracle Whip, on the other hand, includes a blend of non-oil ingredients that burns and releases fumes that smells something like burned plastic and is absolutely putrid.

Not gunna lie. I dont eat mayo or miracle whip.....and thought they were the same thing.

By weight, Miracle Whip contains more gelatin than egg, which should tell you most of what you need to know about how it compares to real mayo. I realized relatively recently that my lifelong dislike of mayonnaise was actually just because most of my childhood exposure to "mayo" was Miracle Whip. I'm not enough of a fan of real mayo to actively seek it out, most of the time, but it has its place, I don't actively dislike it, and there are a few mayo-based things that I do like.

Ain't Mircle Whip American?

Butter also has a burning point that you want to avoid hitting.

I would throw your miracle whip in the trash where it belongs.
