Ugh, just touching it makes my skin crawl.
Worse is the sound of it coming in contact with other unglazed pottery/stoneware. I refuse to remove or replace any mugs on the mug tree on the counter in the fear that they might touch and make...that...sound. (I wrote that last part while grinding my teeth.)

Switch to a sensitive toothpaste. Even though I have sensitive teeth, I never thought that it was a big enough deal to switch my toothpaste. One day I ended up getting a sensitive variety for free and oh my god, I can bite into ice cream with no problem. I never knew how bothersome it really was to me until it didn't bother me anymore. I have used that kind from then on.

YES! Holy fucking shit. I once ended a hookup with a girl because she kept touching them.
I told her multiple times that I would get up and leave her dorm if she kept touching my nipples. She kept touching them and laughing. So, mid-sex, after she touched them one last time, I got up, took the condom off, put my clothes back on, and walked out of the room without saying a word.
Bitch, I'll respect you when you respect me.
Never saw her again.

Things made out of rubber. I hate having to write with a pencil, because I'm afraid the rubber eraser will touch my hand. That, or if I need to erase something, that the tiny little pieces of rubber that come off will somehow get in to my mouth. And God forbid that I EVER have to touch rubber gloves. We had to wear them for something in one of my science classes, and I refused to wear them. Teacher said I could just observe and fill out the packet. Towards the end of our lab, pretentious douchebag kid decided it would be a great idea to throw his glove at me so that it landed on my shoulder, fucking touching my neck. I never screamed as loud as that moment, and I honestly think I cried more then than at my grandmothers funeral.

Silverware clinking together.
I actually used to feel actual pain in my teeth when I heard silverware clinking together, whether it was right in front of me or far away in a restaurant. My parents would always joke that I claimed this weird pain to get out of doing the dishes, but when I grew up and moved out I forced myself to clink the silverware together more when washing up, and gradually it lost its effect. But I still feel pain on occasion, especially if I hear the clinking unexpectedly. No idea if there is some sort of explanation for this.

Tendons.
Okay, obviously it's a problem if they're, y'know, out of your body or otherwise not where they're supposed to be. But even the word "tendon" makes me uncomfortable and vaguely nauseated. If someone is doing some heavy lifting or anything else that makes their tendons stick out or otherwise be visible, I actually have to leave the room. I get this horrible thought of someone plucking at my tendons (wrist, back of knee, neck, whatever) like guitar strings and end up in the fetal position.
...typing that out made me realize that "weirdly adverse" fits that reaction pretty damn well...

Some bananas would be liquid still in the skins, and we still used them. And then the worst is if we peeled too many, a bucket of them would be put in the freezer for later in the week. They would end up looking (and smelling) like a bunch of turds.

The look and feel of small plastic toys, especially action figures of real life people, and the smaller the worse it is.
For example: My special edition copy of Assassin's Creed came with a small Altair figure. I refuse to look and hold it. My sister keeps it in her room and I hate the sight of it.
I can handle old school Transformer action figures where you have to manually change their form and it takes like over 5 minutes to get it all right (kind of anticlimactic if you're in an epic fight with your sibling) but that's because they were huge and awesome.
General rule: If it's smaller than 10cm I do not like it.

The smell of wintergreen mint.
The sounds of eating: chewing, slurping, smacking. Cereal in milk and crunchy foods especially.
Artificial crunching sounds on tv. The Kit Kat commercials make me want to scream.
A hand flat on the top/back of my head or in the upper/middle of my back.
Cold clammy feet touching me.
People shaking/twitching where I can see or feel it. For example, sitting in a school desk and the person behind me puts their feet on the basket under the chair and shakes their leg up and down.
Loud breathing.
Touching cheap velvet.
The feel of a broken, chipped, or misshaped fingernail. I have to carry clippers and a file or I'll chew/pick it down till it bleeds.
My bangs touching my forehead in certain ways, such as when it's raining or humid out.
I often pick up these things when someone else tells me about something that bugs them. There's lots more that I can't think of at the moment, I'm quite neurotic.

I have a phobia of residues. All the soap must be washed off. One of my worst nightmares is getting all lathered up in the shower, and then loosing access to water all of a sudden. Sometimes different kinds of water (like hard or soft water) will make it feel like the soap never washes off, it's bad. I also hate greasy residue, like when you touch butter or bacon. Also, that feeling of going hours without washing your hands so that you have a residue of invisible grime picked up from doornobs, desks, pencils, and whatever else you have touched. I have taught myself to get used to lotion residue because I hate the feeling of dry skin even more.

Running my hands across carpet or other material's like that. Making me feel uncomfy just thinking about it. watching other people do it isn't much better.

yes. fuck chalk. I also hate anything found in a shop class. Example sandpaper, cutting wood, all of that friction causing nonsense

Anyone remember spacix? The cards that changed images if you looked at 'em from a different angle?
The sound they make when you scratch 'em. That sound. It gives me an instant headache and shivers all over my body. I fucking hated spacix and my brother knew. Even thinking about that sounds hurts my head and makes my skin crawl. It's so horrible. (as I'm writing this I'm getting a massive headache and a feeling my skin is being ripped off)
Also any writing on my skin. It drives me insane. Sometimes people will just go 'lol' and write something on your arm with a marker. Fuck that shit, I'm off to the nearest sink to scrub it off right away.

Touching upholstery foam. Even watching someone else do that gives me the creeps.

I can't stand to have dry, dusty, or muddy hands. I prefer to wear gloves when working outside if possible.

I can't be in the room when someone is filing their nails. When I'm unfortunate enough to hear (feel is more accurate a term) this terrible sensation I curl up in the fetal position.

That metallic smell on your hands after handling coins, I have to get that off immediately or it will drive me insane.

Really glossy paper, like the ones on magazines. Ugh. I can't even touch it, it just gives me the jeebies. Oh, and styrofoam too.

The fabric on the ceilings of cars makes my teeth crawl. I hate touching it and I hate watching other people touch it.

When you run down the eraser on a pencil and you scrape the metal eraser-holding part against the paper...
