What weird things gross you out?

Soy.

I can relate. One day my mother asked me to divide up a package of boudain -- a Cajun rice dressing dish put in sausage casings and steamed (an East Texas/Louisiana dietary delicacy for a lot of people, although I hate it) -- in several smaller packages for freezing. She had several lbs, and it was all in one link. As I started to unwind it and cut it, it completely disgusted me. The color (gray), shape and texture of it reminded me of things like disembodied horse penises and really long turds. I know I'm being gross, but that's the point. It was nasty.

-Ehh people making hawking, snorting and snuffling noises
-dirty public toilets (I won't use it if it smells like stink in there)
-insects

meh I don't think these things are unusual and trypophobia is gross but it doesn't creep me out. ;p

Having cool/cold water moving on my hands (like droplets streaming off after I wash my hands) totally gives me the willies.

Gold jewelry that's been worn, and coins. For example, I wouldn't have been able to wear Diana's ring as Kate Middleton does.

Pretty much any fruit, the taste isn't a problem but the textures just make me gag, the fat on bacon has the same effect unless it is crispy (it's soooo nice when crispy), I remove the fat from any other meat prior to cooking. Also, if someone talks whilst eating and spits a bit of chewed up food on me I will start wretching uncontrollably until it is removed. There's loads more but I can't be bothered to list them all.

Dirty dish water. Seeing lumps of food in my washing up water makes me gag.
Dirty utensils that have been sitting in the sink, as they are usually damp and have mixed with other things sitting there.
Vomit: I have emetophobia and am deeply disturbed by vomit. Not my own, oddly enough, just other peoples'.
People snorking their snot with that disgusting wet lugie sound; makes me grimace.
Most types of foods touching one another (with rare exception; ham and potato for example), as well as condiments or damp vegetables that will make the bread they're sitting on soggy (ketchup is okay because it's thick enough not to really count).
Almost all food at refrigerator temperature, or certain mushy foods at room temperature; their smell as well as the taste and texture.

I HATE that. It's like I want to destroy it. I act aggressive when I see stuff like that.

Finally, someone who "gets" my issues!

Peanut butter on a utensil left to soak gives off a gag-inducing smell. I hate it. Dirty dishwater with bits of food floating in it is pretty awful too.

I also can't stand it when other people's strands of hair cling to my fingers (for example, if I'm in the bath or shower). It totally grosses me out.

I am becoming increasingly disgusted with the drippings left at public urinals.

-When people use the bathroom and don't wash their hands, especially when they are about to eat.
-Oral sex, (if you actually think about it) never had sex, but I just find it disgusting, more when a woman swallows a man's semen.
-Bare feet
-Vomit (I have met people who never understood my phobia for vomit and think throwing up is nothing to worry about)
-Hungover people who smell strongly like alcohol
-Dirty, stained sofas and chairs
-When two or more people take a bite out of the same bitten food, or drink from the same can
-When a woman checks her baby's diaper in a restaurant
