For me, it's cold wet coffee grounds. Sticky garlic skins are no fun, either.

And those little stickers on every single apple and tomato When I get them off, I can't drop them off my finger into the trash, and miss, and when I take off my socks at night, there are fruit labels on the bottoms. And I still can't get them off my fingers into the trash. They're a menace.

I hate grease. I never deep fry and, still, I'm always chasing after grease in the kitchen. Thank goodness they invented Goo Gone, or I'd go nuts trying to keep my range hood clean.

I also hate cleaning out the vegetable bin in my fridge. There's always something that has leaked watery stuff in there. Yuk.

Contrary to most people I like to make a mess, you can't clean anything without making a mess first.

When you touch chillies or onions and then your eye gets itchy.

Also frying bacon, and the oil constantly splattering you.

Touching/cleaning up after chopping cilantro. I swear you cannot get the bits off the cutting board, or your fingers!

Raw meat. I don't eat much meat (1x/week tops), but when i do, touching it creeps me out for a moment or two.

Mayo spills. Without a strong grease cutter, it's just a mess.

Wet tea bags. There's just something about the wet, sometimes drippy little sachet. (Low on my list, but still on it.)

Separating bacon from the slab. Unless you buy the extra thick cut, it just rips apart into bacon shreds, and I hate the feel of the greasy stringiness of those thin sinewy bits.

being a butcher,,,,,and once you've cleaned out a few deer and moose,,,, not much bothers me in the kitchen,,,except..

if something gets pushed to he back in a Tupperware,,and you cant remember what it is,,,then you open it,,,,,and something stinks, un recognizable, and some fur is now growing on it ....

yep...that's kinda gross (and a waste)

you learn as you get older tho,,,,to put it in the freezer for a day then open it.....doesn't stink ,,,

I wear contacts. Onions don't bother me. It's almost impossible to get the chilies or jalapenos off of my fingers even with washing. I've zinged my eyes more than once because I forgot to wear gloves.

I hate the freezer and bottom drawer of the refrigerator. There is always a spill. I didn't do it. I wasn't there when it happened. I hate cleaning it up. Same goes for the cabinets. I didn't do it. Now it's stuck onand I have to clean it off.

Raw meat. I have to wear gloves. I hate the thought of it getting under my nails. Yes, I have a nail brush. I still can't do it. I just shredded up some cooked chicken wearing my gloves.
And I LOOOVE meat.

Hey, here's something kinda ironic: You can use wet tea bags to clean up... greasy mayo spills! (No kidding, the tannins or something break down grease.) Two of your least favorite things, teaming up for good!!!
