There are a few things that do this to me, polystyrene, nail clippers (the snap when it goes through the nail) come to mind firstly.

Seeing someone putting contact lenses in. They're putting fucking pieces of plastic in their fucking eyes, for fuck's sake!

On behalf of a co worker, “eating an apple while reading the paper”

from my favorite book:

"so in love that, when we touched, my bones ached to come through my skin to meet hers."

"every night I fold myself into her, every night she comes into my life and I feel her hand on my heart and she is saying, I am here ... I am here."

styrofoam flat sheets when being squashed back into the box that they originally came in and yet dispite two peoples efforts will not go back in,

forks and knifes scraping against plates, the meal is finished and the pattern belongs on the plate, it is not a "scratch to reveal what you won speaciality edition plate".

women screaming at their kids at the top of their lungs (normally accopanied by an awful awful half chewed english accent)

kids screaming

mobile ring-tones as a multiple (when everyone chooses to show theirs off to each other resulting in an incoherent high pitched noise)

rubber shoes being scraped across a wet parque tiled floor resulting in squeeky noises....lift the feet!!!!!!

the phone on my desk at work, when it rings- because suddenly al the phones at work will ring and normally break my train of thought.

A lot of the things listed here set my teeth on edge, but goosebumps are a different thing altogether. Crushes give me goosebumps!

When my tummy gets cold, especially if I'm wearing a top that's not long enough (I have no idea how women can wear belly-revealing tops on all but the warmest days).

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

The thought of rubbing a toothbrush on a ball of wool has haunted me for years.
I had to bite my lip while typing this.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

Madchen OTM.

Goosebumps are more delicious. Certain music, certain moods, that's what gives me goosebumps.

― It Is What A Man Does Which Demeans Him, Not What Is Done To Him (kate), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

Goosebumps are delicious, aren't they?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

neck kisses.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

goosebumps- ahhhh when my shower does that *it's just the right temperature- great shower- freezing cold!!!*

when my BF kisses my neck :-)

when i watch a very very well done music video which is both artistically talented and well executed.

an excellent song/ album/ gig.

― battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Good Goosebumps= the first chord or intro at a gig.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

OK, just reading neck kisses has given me goosebumps. Now how am I going to concentrate on work?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

nice goosebumps:
a sexy whisper
an passionate singer/poet/etc. saying something great
kisses down my back

creepy goosebumps:
a really angry & mean person walking by & you can literally feel the chill of this person as they brush past you

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

kids screaming

I think something happens in a human's life. They reach puberty, and they lose the top 40 decibles of their voice's dynamic range. aka OTM.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Young women (fake [but convincingly]) screaming in fear in movies/tv shows.

otm with car crashes. i think anytime i hear a kid scream outside i automatically get goosebumps until i realize that in most circumstances, the kids are playing.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

i was taking a walk alone in a field near my home once, (go there regularly) i heard some one scream, although i couln't see anyone for miles, and at 6am i nearly s*it myself, ran all the way home...wondering who it was or what had happened.

"Virgin" train seat trays being pulled up and down.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Machine drones give me the dreamy kind of goosebumps - our old Hoover spin dryer, the engine hum inside the Woolwich Ferry, Francoise Laporte's Mantra (based on recording an ice-rink's air compressor)...

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

Jean-Francois Laporte. Sorry, monsieur.

― marianna (mariannapm), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

the practice of me eating a popsicle rarely occurs, but when it does: accidentally licking/biting the popsicle stick. i don't know what it is about this (maybe the grain of the stick against my tongue) but when it happens i shudder like there's no tomorrow. in fact, i'm getting goose bumps like crazy right now just thinking about it. goddammit!

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

i think i'll end up being stupidly overprotective. i don't even want to fathom if it's my own kid. thinking about it is giving me goosebumps!!!

what about when you have metal fillings & you chomp on aluminum foil? that gives me the g-bumps.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

going to the dentist when they put cotton wool in your mouth

so cotton wool/tissue in your mouth

wet hands and dry tissue paper

the idea of giving birth/being pregnant

― battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

OTMFM! See also the cheap wooden chopsticks you get with cheap Japanese/Chinese takeaways. I have to thoroughly wet them before I can put them in my mouth. Ugh I just shuddered!
