- When I was four years old, the horribly obnoxious boy who sat next to me in school (whose name I've long since forgotten), told me that tomatoes were made of blood. At first I didn't believe him, but then he told me: "It's true, my dad works in a tomato factory and he told me." Please keep in mind that I was four and 'a friend of a friend' was just someone you played tag with. I didn't eat tomatoes for a year, I think. It must have driven my mother absolutely mad that I wouldn't touch the things regardless of how many times she told me that tomatoes grow on plants and are not made in factories, and they definitely aren't made of blood. The father of the horribly obnoxious boy who sat next to me in school was a much more reliable source. He worked in a tomato factory, after all.
- About four and a half years ago, the supermarket where I work had some kind of beef on sale. After several days of seeing bloody pieces of red meat, I had a really bad nightmare that involved cutting a living person in tiny pieces. The very second I woke up, I knew I wouldn't eat anything that used to be an animal for a long time. I'm still a vegetarian. Everytime I'm tempted, I see images from that nightmare. I get a lot of funny looks when people ask me if I'm vegetarian because I don't like meat or if it's an ethical thing and I tell them "Because of a dream."

I can't stand songs that have been featured on the show Smallville.
I can't ever listen to songs from the album Synchronicity because I suffered depression during the first two weeks after the birth of my oldest. During that time my husband played that album non-stop.
During my first pregnancy, mac and cheese from the box made me sick. I still can't eat it to this day.

Didn't this happen on an episode of Seinfeld? Elaine was dating a man who did this same exact thing with the song "Desperado" by the Eagles?
ETA: (from episode 807 - "The Checks")
quote:Music begins to play. It's The Eagles' Desperado. Brett hears the music and is enraptured. He stares off into the distance, oblivious to everything but the song.
ELAINE: Wouldn't it be great if Farbman designed shoes?
Brett hasn't heard a word of what Elaine said, continuing to stare off into the distance.
ELAINE: Brett? Don't you think that would be great?
Brett still doesn't react.
ELAINE: Brett?
BRETT: (still staring off) After the song, babe.
ELAINE: Huh?
BRETT: The song.
Elaine stares at Brett and puts a hand to her chest, moved by his sensitivity.
Yes, I remember that episode, and I laughed hysterically at it, because that's exactly how my ex would act during the Tears For Fears Song. He would tell me to "be quiet...listen to this music. It's just the best melody I have ever heard". (yes, my ex was a dork)

I have two of them off the top of my head- one includes a TMI warning.
1) The movie Clerks. I can't even bring myself to see Clerks 2.
TMI WARNING! TMI WARNING! TMI WARNING!
My first "boyfriend" and I were watching it right after he took me out for my 18th birthday, and he decided (for me) that I was ready to lose my virginity. That movie will always remind me of being choked, held down, and feeling like hundreds of knives are stabbing me "down there"
2) Seeing Pluto at Chef Mickey's for breakfast. One of my friends, whom I met while working at Chef Mickey's, passed away at work (Signora Del Drago read the thread in the Disney forum about Goofy/Pluto's death). I can never think of seeing Pluto in Chef Mickey's without thinking of him. I only recently was able to bring myself to see the 3 pm parade at the Magic Kingdom, because that's what my friend was doing when he died. SO sat with me to watch it.

I cannot stand the smell of gin, let alone the taste. When I was 17, a bunch of us got a fifth of gin and a quart of tonic. I got extremely drunk, spent several hours either tossing cookies or trying to, and had a hangover for the next two days.
I'm not fond of tonic either.

Ooh! That's a good one! I can't stand the smell of whiskey, scotch, or bourbon. The first time I was wasted, it was from Glenlivet. I thought "smells nasty. Tastes nasty.

Ever since reading this UL, I've had some issues with chicken fillet (especially grilled breasts) - not so bad that I can't eat it; the story just pops up in my head whenever I'm having chicken, and grosses me out.
Slight hijack: are middle names really that usual in America that it's the rule rather than the exception (as it seems from the posts in this thread)?

Dieter Meyer, I would say that middle names are typical/common in that the majority of people have them. Personally, I can think of only one friend who doesn't have a middle name.

I'm a chronic emetophobic with OCD, and I avoid anything I remotely connect with vomit. I'm not as unwell as I used to be but a couple of years ago it got so out of hand I was taken to hospital because I wouldn't eat, would only drink water and only from one cup and refused to read, watch TV or do anything I may have to repeat.
These days it's just baked beans and blackurrant juice, both of which I used to love til I chucked them.

Oh, there's a whole gaggle of things that my ex-husband has ruined for me, including...
1. Polo cologne and after-shave. I can't even handle it walking through the Fragrance Dept. at Macy's.
2. Any love song from 1990-2000.
3. Muppets. Yes, Muppets.
4. Pretty much all flowers, especially pink roses.
5. Billy Joel.
Damn, that's depressing.

quote:Originally posted by GaiaP5: Speaking of names... I have no middle name. But no one seems to believe this. People always say that I don't want to tell them my middle name because I don't like it.
I believe you. My dad doesn't have a middle name. His mother, for years, insisted it was "Edward," but that name didn't appear on any documents whatsoever.
Before he retired, USPS forms that required a middle initial had an X in its place.
My dad too! When he enlisted in the Army during the Korean war they insisted he needed a middle initial. So his Army paperwork shows FirstName C. LastName, but no other paperwork in his life (birth certificate, marriage license, driver's license, etc.) has a middle name or initial. The C doesn't stand for anything either, he just picked it randomly.
I picked Q. My middlenameless aunt used Q when she was growing up, and I followed in her footsteps. Sometimes I even spell it out. Queue.
My middle initial really is Q. (Doesn't stand for Queue, however. ) I have gotten some "yeah right, you made that up" looks on occasion when asked for my middle initial.

BeowulfGirl, luckily for you, Billy Joel sucks.
I used to get sad listening to certain songs, but now I can again. I'm surprised. Even my wedding song is not in the least bit sad for me to listen to. (Beyond the Sea, and unofficially, Lauryn Hill's Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You).
MTV ruined a lot of good songs for me in the 90s, by overplaying them. Sabotage, Today, and Disarm only recently became tolerable for me again. I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to Black Hole Sun again.

- I have a few mixed tapes / CDs lying around that I can't listen to with out being reminded of some particularly bad moments in my life, but I'm sure thats pretty much standard for everyone.
TMI alert:
- It is rare that I'll drink orange pop anymore - If I do, it's not anytime that I've recently had pizza. I couldn't even stand the smell of orange pop (yes, the smell) for years after I threw up on a city bus (a combination of motion sickness and really bad cramps during my period) on my way home from school.

The name Chad is all but ruined for me, considering the 2000 election business, PLUS my current fiancee's most recent ex was named Chad. He was a total douchebag in every sense of the word. He was mean, useless, belittled her for wanting to go to college, and worse, he was a pCm, once refusing to take medication to deal with his Tourette's syndrome because he said God was going to cure him. So for some time after that, the younger men in my family used the word "Chad" as a pejorative (e.g. "Don't be such a Chad") and, if we didn't feel like going out of our way to deal with a medical problem, we tell the person offering, "God's goign to cure me."
Tuesdays are all but ruined for me. It's a crappy way to spend 1/7 of your life. The only two tragic events that I can remember where I was for occurred on Tuesdays (and no, I'm not talking about the two times Dubya was elected, though I suppose those count.) Also, there's nothing likebeing woken up to hear your SO telling you her stepdad's being taken to the hospital because he's having a heart attack...on a Tuesday morning. Oh yeah, and he didn't make it.
Steak n Shake's another. I worked there for three months my sophomore year in high school, and I won't go back even to eat. The management didn't know what the hell they were doing, and most of the people in the kitchen were asswipes. I've eaten there since then only one time, about a month after quitting, and it was under protest, and the food AND service were both awful. So I don't eat at Steak n Shake now.

1) John Lennon. I am a huge Beatles fan, but my freshman roommate completely ruined all things Lennon for me. She was a pretty nice girl, and being a fellow Beatles fan we got along pretty well most of the time, but she absolutely worshipped John Lennon - and, unfortunately, was completely incapable of praising him (which she did almost constantly) without saying something nasty about Ringo (my favorite). So now, even the mention of John Lennon makes me angry.
2) Pickled eggs. I tried one at a "British Night" party when I was in Cambridge, England, and it was the foulest thing I have ever tasted. I didn't get sick off it or anything, but to this day I can still remember the taste, and even looking at pickled eggs makes me nauseous.
3) Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" reminds me of a particularly lousy ex-boyfriend - one I happened to be very much in love with (or at least, I thought I was) until he betrayed me in an awful way. I've gotten a little better about it over the years, but it still kind of hurts to listen to that song.
4) I've always felt vaguely guilty about my birthday because I was born the day the Challenger exploded. It got worse shortly after I turned 17...when the Columbia tragedy happened, I was convinced that I was some kind of curse to the space program. (Silly, I know, but I was going through my teen angst phase I guess. ) And the Josh Groban song "You Raise Me Up" always makes me think of the Columbia astronauts, because my family went to a pizza place for Super Bowl Sunday that year, and they showed the performance on one of the TVs there.
5) I absolutely cannot make myself donate blood for any reason. When I was fourteen, my dad suffered an almost-fatal pulmonary embolism right in front of my eyes, and in the aftermath I had to get my blood drawn and tested for the genetic mutation that was partially responsible for it. I tested positive. (This test was also done the same day my boyfriend and I had broken up, so that was a little rough on me, too.) Even though the doctors say I should be fine and giving blood shouldn't be a problem, I still can't bring myself to do it. My freshman year of college a friend and I had signed up to get our blood tested for the annual bone marrow drive, and I didn't even make it to the first information booth before I started freaking out.

The song Only the Good Die Young, by Billy Joel, because my parents told me when I was in junior high that it was "their song" when they were dating.
Speaking of Mr Joel, I also had the song "Goodnight Saigon" ruined for me because, during my freshman year at the Naval Academy, an upperclassman made us all hold hands and listen to it in silent meditation on the 4th of July. It was definitely one of the top 5 most awkward experiences of my entire life, and I drink a lot.
quote: Didn't this happen on an episode of Seinfeld? Elaine was dating a man who did this same exact thing with the song "Desperado" by the Eagles?
ETA: (from episode 807 - "The Checks")
That's my favorite episode of Seinfeld, ever. I even mentioned Brett as the "Brilliant Minor Characters" thread, but I had to look it up to find out his name. The idea that anyone would do that in real life, especially in reverance to a Tears for Fears song, just made my day!

And I thought getting a live wasp in my mouth during dinner outside was bad!
I think the pineapple story and any of those involving blood and bugs in food are top of the list for horrifyingly gross! The number one gross-out goes to the pineapple puke, hands down! ETA: I quickly changed my mind about getting something to eat or drink after reading it last night. Lol
My experience this summer was that a wasp had hitched a ride on my fork and didn't know enough to move when I put it in my mouth. Definite disadvantage to anybody with a vision impairment.
I was eating outside, something I normally love about summer.
I was just biting into a piece of meat when I felt something like a fish bone stab on the left side of my tongue. What the...!? This was pork, not fish! And as I was about to try figuring out where this weird bone fragment was so I could remove it from my mouth, I felt something moving just beneath the roof of my mouth! Ewww! Took the crawly thing out and held it without getting stung again, put it in a clear plastic container.
It was a yellow jacket wasp.
The only extreme reaction I had was feeling majorly disgusted, skin-crawling, stomach-turning, grossed out! My tongue smart for a few hours and was only a little swollen, and I couldn't eat anything for hours. When I finished the left over dinner much later, it was difficult because of the association.
Now I'm afraid to eat outside on my own, which is too bad, I used to enjoy that so much, and still would, if for certain there were no wasps just waiting to get into my food.
I had a really bad ham experience in junior high. Didn't have to eat any of it, thank God, there's no way anyone would've made me. And thank God my mom was always compassionate, not believing in making people eat things they really have aversions to. A lot of posters won here who were made to eat things had it as rough as she did when growing up with that.
Back to the ham issue, I'd got home, and Mom was about to cook a ham, but she asked me if it smelled okay, I guess it didn't look it. Well, I couldn't tell, it wasn't cooking yet, and all I could smell was smoked meat.
So I went downstairs to watch TV or in my room to study, whatever, and came out a while later.
EWWWWWWW! GROSS!!! "What's that smell!?"
Mom replied "That's the ham."
Nothing smells worse than this did, it is truly a horrifying, nasty, stinking, creepy crawly, puke-inducing stench!
So, we decided to have something else for supper that night, but I don't remember being very hungry. To this day, I'm very picky about ham or anything similar. It has to be really smoky and not a strong gamey or meaty smell, not even a hint that it isn't absolutely fresh or I get turned off. *Shudders* Ugh! Depending on the ham, sometimes it smells nice when it starts to cook, other times it doesn't and I'll run away until it's closer to being done.
Certain sounds always have and probably always will freak me out because of nightmares I had as a kid and still have on occasion. Certain TV show scenes too. I grew up on the Michael Landon "Little House show. But I can't watch the fire scene in the episode where the blind school burns down because I had a really macabre dream about being right in the scene as it happened all around me in 3d.
I have some issues with certain names too, and two girls with two of these names almost ruined the song "On My Own" from "Les Mis" and the character who sings it. Well, the book was very influential in changing my opinion of that character from pity to disdain, but the two brats I had the displeasure of dealing with, one off and one online, sure didn't help. Like the song now, as much as I ever did, but still despise the character.
I dislike a lot of fanfiction because so much of it isn't what I originally thought it would be. I'd enjoy role playing online a lot more if it weren't for people trying to pair off every character, or use rpg and fanfic as a means to indulge their crushes on some character from anime or movie or TV show. That's called "Mary Sue" writing.
Internet pet related communities. Far too many animal rights extremists bashing other pet owners, breeders, or even one another over animal care.
Internet general chat lists. All but mine seem to be chain mail-friendly, that is, people send dumb "It's friendship week! And you are my one true special friend, friendship is blahblahblah. Now send this back or I'll know you're not my friend!" political and prayer chains, glurges, fwd warnings, misattributed quotes and poems, joke fwds that you get 10 times over in one week on completely unrelated forums, you get the idea. And then come all the replies by other posters raving about how hilarious, moving, wise etc. the chain mail was while ignoring other posts actually written by the members. And if I debunk and object to chain mail, I get treated like the bad guy.

My fiancee and I have that as "our song" and expect to dance to it at our wedding, but I know that, if we ever split up, we would never be able to listen to that or, likely, anything by Aerosmith again. She feels the same way about Lonestar, since some song by them was her song when she was with her last boyfriend (referred to earlier in this thread.)
Sorry, just thought it was a little striking that someone mentioned this song.
