We Asked Lubbock: What’s Something Totally Normal That Secretly Grosses You Out?

There are a lot of things in life we all just accept as “normal.” Eating at restaurants. Sharing space with other humans and existing in public. But if you dig just a little deeper, you’ll find that a shocking number of everyday things are actually…\kind of disgusting.

So, The RockShow with Chrissy and Wes asked Lubbock: What’s something normal that secretly grosses you out? And honestly, y’all did not hold back.

Food came up a lot. Specifically, the kind that should be harmless, but somehow isn’t. Oysters made the list (no surprise), along with Yoo-hoos (“chocolate-flavored tap water,” according to one response), and the deeply upsetting reality of soggy Cheerios being handled by tiny, sticky toddler hands. Honorable mention goes to those peanut butter and jelly combo jars, which people seem to distrust universally.

Then there’s the category of “things you have to touch,” which might be the worst of all. Raw chicken. Kitchen sponges. Public ketchup bottles. Shared keyboards. Gym equipment that’s still warm from the last person. Suddenly, staying home forever feels like a solid option.

And of course, people themselves made the list...because, well…people are gross. Bare feet in public. Open-mouth chewing. Kids coughing directly into the air like it’s a sport. Even something as innocent as someone blowing on their food made multiple people uncomfortable.

Maybe the most unsettling part? These are all things we deal with every single day without thinking twice.

Until now.

Sweet dreams, Lubbock.
