Last night, I was watching a particular anime series, and there was one scene in it that really squicked me. I haven't cringed that much in years. So, I figured it'd make a good topic for a thread - what really squicks you?
Usually, I'm really good with just about anything you can throw at me - I can watch zombies rip people apart without flinching, I can clean up blood, piss, vomit etc without a problem and so forth, but there are three things that really get at me.
1) Being stabbed through the palm of the hand - for instance, both hands being pinned to a door by knives in a horror film. I just imagine having to slide up the blade to free yourself, gradually making the wound wider as you go, and... ugh. My toes are curling just typing it.
2) Teeth being ripped out. I hate the idea of losing my teeth, and were some psycho killer to torture his victim by taking their teeth out with a pair of pliers, I couldn't keep my eyes on the screen. Oddly enough, though, dentists don't faze me in the slightest.
3) Fingernails. Fingernails being ripped off/stabbed through/mutilated in some way. I don't know what it is about it, but it really makes me squirm. (If you're curious, this is what was in the anime last night - and they didn't pull any punches showing it)
So, what squicks you guys?

Yeah, I can imagine you've heard some fantastically bad stuff  That's one thing that gets me - rape, murder, all that sort of crap, does disgust/shock me, to a point, but at the same time I don't bat an eyelid. Little crap like the above though? No. |

Ugh, polystyrene. It's not quite a squick for me, but it's damn unpleasant. The feel of cotton wool or dragging something out of the freezer and scraping the ice is around the same sort of level for me. |

Temping at the Uni (the proper one, not the old Poly I went to  ). Applying for various permanent jobs though, mainly within the Uni. Something will turn up but I'm working full time as it were so the bills get paid and the beers get bought Can't wait to hit the beer gardens this weekend I must admit My long haired mate went mad last Friday after sitting in one beer garden and drinking wine all afternoon. All he had to do was walk to a taxi 4 metres away but he walked in a right angled triangle, knocked a table over then fell over to a round applause from a group of chavs ;D |

Another one for you 4) Putting metal on your fillings Fortunately, I've never done that one ;D Unfortunately, the one filling I ever had (I had to have an abcess in my gum treated; they drilled through the tooth) was a really crap job and caused the tooth to split - I've ended up with what looks like an extra canine! That didn't help my #2 squick - I was eating an apple, and suddenly came across an extremely hard bit...  |

1) Any form of injury/torture to the eye So watching Hostel wouldn't be much fun for you then!! I must admit nothing like that used to really bother me too much, but as I've got older I've found myself getting more and more squeamish. When I watched Hostel, I thought it was just really nasty from start to finnish, and found myself wondering why anyone would want to make or watch a film like it!! |
