The bottom of a bath. The grimy, discoloured, godforsaken layer at the bottom of a bath. That is the first thing that immediately popped into my head when I saw this Twitter prompt:
What inanimate object gives you the ick? Mine is shower curtains 😭

Obviously not all baths are disgusting. But my tolerance for how much deviation from the perfect norm I’ll accept is probably at its absolute lowest when it comes to the area that is the bottom of a bath. I’m not a particularly picky person when it comes to these sorts of things otherwise. I’ve lived more than my fair share of the dirt grub lifestyle. I’m far from precious. But for some reason, when it comes to the bottom of a bath—it better still be the original fuc*king colour it was when it was made or I will seriously struggle to put any part of my corporeal form inside there.
The bottom of the bath is what really destroys me, but Twitter had a lot of thoughts on the matter that I could 100% see also being an an issue for people:
Windshield wipers that go / \ instead of / /

Butt heat. When someone gets up from sitting and you have to sit where they were sitting but the seat has their butt heat. NO! I’ll stand, thanks.

When people put their toothbrush in a cup & loads of disgusting slime accumulates at the bottom.

Shared cutlery & mugs in office kitchens. Or even worse, shared sponges & tea towels

It's not really an object but I really cannot deal with swimming pool floors. The changing rooms have me hyperventilating. If there is a used plaster on the floor… oh I'm done!!!!

Strands of hair, when I find them on anything other than someone's head.

Hairbrushes, plugholes, tiled floors. Makes me very queasy. Irrational but unavoidable.
