Ignorance
Lysol...um and pretty much any other cleaning product
Bright lights and too much talking early in the morning
Fakeness
Lying
Animal prints, unless they are on the animal
Most birds, especially emus...I have a phobia that they will poke my eyes out or at least poop on me
Drivers who are cutters...you know what I mean
Lipstick...I'm kinda working on this one.
Detergent stains...which I call detergent poo
Hairspray
Poisons...our normal Orkin man at work understands my aversion and doesn't spray my area, but today's replacement sprayed right next to my foot...not happy.
Cockroaches...I can't even discuss them.
Submarines...and other tight confined spaces. I don't think I could ever scuba dive either.
