I don't know what it is exactly, but the skin is thick and tough and a light touch just feels ugh. It's not that feet are rough, it's just that they're feet. I can't explain it..

My husband had better wearing clean socks before he does silly things to me with his feet. It still probably won't work.
Feet! Except for little baby foots (aw!) and really cool animal paws (tigers and bears, wow!) - All else it yuck!
The idea of getting a pedicure is like thinking . . . whoever does the pedicure is really in a 'yuck!' mode while she is working. Never been, won't ever,for her sake.

That's the way I feel about the dental hygienist, but at least she is a medical professional.

I would love to have my eyebrows done, but as much as I love my hairdresser, I can't stand the idea of her looking so closely at me.

Don't smell my food! I ordered shrimp scampi once at a really nice restaurant that we could barely afford at the time, and the waitress actually leaned over and sniffed my food! I talked myself into eating it, as she inhaled only, but she didn't get a tip, and at that time, as now, I usually overtip. Now that I have more of a backbone, I would call her on it and get a new meal and a new server.

People who whisper just under their breath.  It gives me the creepy-crawlies.

Talking to me while walking out of the room.

Talking to me while watching a computer screen or the TV.

Getting a piece of sand in my shoe.

When my hair is getting too long and it hangs in my face.
