    * Fingernails on a chalkboard
    * Seeing someone swallow a pill (or, God help me, pills) without any kind of liquid to wash them down
    * Any of those gruesome injury videos where extremities are bent in the wrong direction
    * A Dikembe Mutombo hook shot
    * ANYTHING INVOLVING CARROT TOP
    * Pauley Shore's limited success

    I can't think of anymore right now. Everyone feel free to list your own.

    Does anyone remember little Michael Adams, who played for the Denver Nuggets in the late 80s?

    He had a freaky looking jump shot. Looked like he was having a seizure. However, it was pretty accurate.

    That made me cringe.

    Not so much the sight of blood, but people talking about bleeding and the circulatory system.

    lol...that is funny because it is true.

    I'll add the following:

    Sandra Bernhard
    seeing anything with Geddy Lee in it (damn is he ugly)
    numerous NBA players like Gheorge Muresan, Popeye Jones, Tyrone Hill, Keith Closs, etc.

    Seeing old people fall over. It may sound weird, but I really hate seeing it happen.
    Logging onto the BBS, and seeing a post by 'artificial'.

    Dimebag Darrell is the greatest guitar riff writer of all-time, well according to Billy Corgan and Trent Reznor.

    Sorry, just couldn't handle the CD that I bought of theirs. Just sounded like noise with screaming mixed in.

    hehe..just giving you a hard time.

    I actually was thinking about listening to "Vulgar Display of Power" and "Cowboys From Hell" sometime soon along with some Sepultura.

    I take it that you feel like me in that Pantera's recent stuff is not up to snuff as their first 2 albums.

    Watching bad basketball. (I hate to say it but sometimes that includes steve francis). But its mostly Georgtown.

    Vandal football

    most 50's music

    fat cheerleaders. not that there is anything wrong with fat people, but seeing a large woman in a short skirt trying to get me excited just makes me cringe

    guys in spandex. and just spandex, for no reason sports related other than its "comfortable":eek:

    Heh.. I go through about 5-10 toothpicks a day. Slowly chew them up and eventually either swallow it or spit the bits of wood out.

    Current cringe: The Beach Boys "protest" song- "Student Demonstration Time." I think they were trying to get in on the early 70's revolutionary vibe...worked about as well as the new Coke in the 80's. Ugh. Kind of funny, though.

    Other things that are cringe inducing:

    -Born again Christians in their early seen-the-light-and-must-save-you stage. I want to tell them that even Jesus would rather hang on the cross again then spend five minutes with them, but there's no point in being mean.

    -Comparing the political issue villain/issue of the day to Hitler. Bush ain't Hitler and neither is Hussein, so stop the simple minded drivel.

    -Hack comedians. Besides the aforementioned Carrot Top and Pauly Shore (the dark lords of unfunny), I really, really, really hate Jeff Foxworthy and Jay Leno. Foxworthy would only be funny if he were being torn to pieces by wild boars, but Leno used to be a good comedian in the 80's. He really sold his soul to get the Tonight Show gig.

    -Footage of child abuse. I not only cringe, but I also become viscarally angry at those people.

    -Nu Metal. There's always a fat bassist, a lame DJ and some doofus screaming about how mean his parents and/or girlfriend were to him. Good God, that entire genre sucks! Ted freaking Nugent still rocks more then *any* of these dorks do and he's pushing 60 years old.

    -Fanny packs. Seriously, if you wear one of these you must kill yourself. Pockets, people, pockets!
