I am totally grossed out when my dog licks himself. Strangely, watching him lick himself doesn't bother me. And it's not where he licks himself that bothers me. It's the sound. I hate it! And the longer I hear it the yuckier it is. He doesn't do it excessively or anything. Just run-of-the-mill cleaning/grooming/maintenance. But it gives me the willies! I wish I could get him to do that in another room.
I also don't love the sound of a toddler sucking on a pacifier. It's not as bad as the dog licking, but it's up there.
I know it's not normal. Do you have anything that's harmless and normal but you hate to hear/ see/ feel?
Re: I think it's weird that this grosses me out so much
Oh, I'm with you on both accounts.
Also, other people chewing. Unbelieveable. It's a personal quirk and drives me insane. As I admitted here once before, I once left a guy for it.

I. HATE. the. licking.
I feel so bad, but I quite frequently tell my dog to leave the room when he's doing it.
I feel exactly the same way, and for the same reason.
I let Scout get away with it for a few minutes before I have to stop her. She's learned to go in the other room if she wants peace.
