The color Country Blue. The couch I stared at to hypnotise myself and dissociate was that color.
Loud noises
a man's loud tone in his voice (even though I can't stand a quiet man) - so weird.
Having my back open and available to be walked up behind.
crowds
the smell of black licorice.

Hi there. my triggers include: being forced on to a bed, really bad since my current boyfriend thinks its fun, seeing my old house, being grabbed on the back of my neck, sleeping in the same bed as my boyfriend, anyone called matt, colin or rodney. Alcohol triggers me really bad, whether im drinking or other people are, especially if they offer to make me one.

Hm, I seem to have bunches of rather odd ones. Specifically:
Joss sticks
Jumper cables
Pink Floyd
Sharing drinks
Beetles (the car)
I know there's more but I can't seem to think of them right now.

Last week... in a dentist's chair, resulting in a full blown panic attack and thinking that I was crazy.

Whenever I hear about bishop Vangheluwe (I really think I can name him because what he did is public), who commited CSA and gave an interview last year that re-traumatized me.
Fire stairs and stair workers, the underground, police series, police in general, gyneacologists (which is not that weird), people who yell or raise their voices, sometimes music, train stations (especially in the capital city), sometimes men in trust positions, sometimes being alone at home (especially when it's dark or raining outside), people who keep saying they love me and expect me to do so, low ceilings, doing self defence exercises, being called 'slut' or other names on the street,...
EDIT: I was brought aware about the fact that Vangheluwe is not well-known (in an international context). He did admit having abused kids. This is the wikipedia page on him:
http://en.wikipedia....oger_Vangheluwe
Please take care when reading it; it can trigger. You can also find bbc articles about him; just google 'vangheluwe bbc' or something.

Wierdest trigger ever: tomatoes! It's terrible since I want to live in Belize when I graduate, but at least I'm starting to get better with it.
Other weird ones: lying on wood floors, orange ceiling lights, big hands, "Ain't that America" song, unfortunately Nora Jones, and people with moles in their eyes.
