Which texture is the worst?

(I'm cringing just typing this. I also wish I had more options.)

ijyx,

@Cassandra my sister's prom dress

Cassandra,
@Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

@ijyx Oh no. How long did they make you wear it for?

ijyx,

@Cassandra i got out of it after a few seconds on the verge of crying (or did i cry? i dont remember) with everyone telling me i was exaggerating

ended up wearing one of my sister's more "casual" dresses

@Cassandra
Raw oyster is something I won't eat again, but the texture that I truly hate is dirt or clay drying on my hands. I kind of liked working with clay in art class but not enough to deal with that regularly.

@Elephino Oh, interesting! I think I loved the feeling of clay drying on my hands and then cracking off.

Elephino,

@Cassandra
Shudders ... :blobugh:

    @drandrewv2 It makes no sense when nectarines exist. Ugh.

    considermycatjohn,

    @Cassandra “Magic eraser sponges” had me physically recoiling, took me a moment to gather myself sufficiently to press the button 🫠🤣

    NurseStacey,

    @Cassandra that fine knit polyester fabric that seems to snags constantly on the texture of human fingertips. Ewwww! I hate it.

    @Cassandra These are all fine, but microfiber is probably #1 on worst textures for me

    JustGrist,
    @JustGrist@disabled.social avatar

    @Cassandra Oooooooh. Just the mention of magic eraser sponges made me cringe. They're not quite as bad though once you've used them a few times, but when they're fresh out of the package... shivers

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @JustGrist My partner(?) brought me some before and, like, great product maybe but someone else is going to have to operate them.

    @Cassandra

    The new microfiber cloths.
    They make my fingers feel like they're made of velcro.
    It's horrifying. 😵‍💫

    intransitivelie,

    @Cassandra
    I have no issue with peaches. Dry foam though... eugh.

    I would say that the foam material they make Purple mattresses out of is more like silicone, which also doesn't really bother me. But upholstery foam is awful and shouldn't be allowed. The worst is florist foam though. It's dry and crumbly.

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @intransitivelie Florist foam! I haven't thought about that texture in ages. I think I actually enjoyed it when it was wet and scrunchable.

    intransitivelie,

    @Cassandra
    I don't know that I've ever experienced it when wet. I think that would probably make it less unpleasant.

    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    This comment section is visceral.

    Ok yuck, yeah…that texture is gross!🤢

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @FlockOfCats HORRIFYING.

    MOULE,

    @Cassandra Porridge, dirty dish water and soggy bread 🤢

    demimom,

    @Cassandra velvet, it's velvet

    @demimom This is one that made me wish I'd had more options.

    @pantransautie For me along the same lines as sandpaper: the interior roof of cars (at least 30 years ago).

    Nail files I actually think I can handle, briefly.

    @Cassandra Silicone bakeware.

    Cassandra, (edited )
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @irina Interesting! I don't think I've encountered this one. Is it granular?

    There are certain books that have covers I can't handle because they're granular. I really wish I had textile info when deciding whether to order / reserve a book.

    irina,
    @irina@wandering.shop avatar

    @Cassandra No, it's sort of sticky (as in: I feel it sticks to my skin even though it doesn't).

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @irina Ah. Ew.

    marenf,

    @Cassandra "Soft touch" plastics grown old and sticky.

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @marenf I don't think I know "soft touch" plastics...

    marenf,

    @Cassandra Plastic surfaces treated to feel kind of velvety. I may have translated it wrongly.
    These plastics age poorly and get all sticky after a couple of years.

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @marenf I wondered if it's maybe something I wouldn't know unless I had kids...

    samantha,
    @samantha@autistics.life avatar

    @Cassandra @marenf I think I had it happen (or at least something similar) to a USB battery recently so can be more widely used.

    I think it was a battery. Some of my equipment anyway.

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @samantha

    You had a battery that got made soft and plasticky?

    @marenf

    samantha,
    @samantha@autistics.life avatar

    @Cassandra

    It was sort of rubbery on the outside originally, and then at some point that instead turned sticky.

    @marenf

    marenf,

    @Cassandra They use it for all kinds of things here. Hairbrushes, for example.

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @marenf Oh, are they kind of rubbery? Maybe I do know what they are, I just didn't recognize them as plastic.

    marenf,

    @Cassandra Yes, they are!

    Overbern,

    @Cassandra
    Not tried Magic Eraser
    But sandpaper is mildly unpleasant. Sandpaper sponge? Ew.

    My worst texture ever is.
    A small toy animal made from slick synthetic fabric, filled with sand. Which had leaked a bit so the fabric was slightly loose.

    I have some wrist weights in a similar material, but those aren't That bad to touch. They make an unpleasant noise when you pinch them, though.

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @Overbern My god, this thread is evocative and horrifying. Why did I do this 😆

    @Cassandra fish and seafood

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @kierkegaank Yes. I do not want to eat slimy. Or, like, tendon-y.

    crankylinuxuser,

    @Cassandra
    For me, tapioca. It has made me spontaneously projectile vomit. Always has, since I was 2.

    Cassandra,
    @Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

    @crankylinuxuser OH GOSH, textures while eating could be a whole separate poll.

    Jello. Eggplant. Mushrooms. Oysters. ...

    crankylinuxuser,

    @Cassandra
    Wow, what's weird for me, is that I love eggplant, mushrooms, and oysters (where I shuck them tableside).

    Ive never liked jello. Not once.

    But yeah my food preferences are varied and kinda weird :)
