The ick #10

[GBNI]

People who say 'if I'd been there 3 weeks earlier I'd have been caught up in *insert terrorist attack, murder etc etc*'

Licking the lid/seal of a yoghurt pot

My male boss in his 40s does this. It’s gross. He has a yoghurt at his desk every day. And then scrapes the hell out of the empty pot, with his spoon to get every last bit.

Middle aged men who park run with other caricatures of Mr Bean. Take a group selfie with their run timings at the end of the park run. If my husband did that I would literally check myself into a Switzerland suicide clinic and have myself put to sleep on the overwhelming ick he created.

Yes!!!! I hate this.

People will literally be like -
'September 11th happened in 2001. I was in New York is 2005.
Wow...if I had been there 4 years earlier, who knows what would have happened?!'

We had a client in our office on Friday - she is co-founder and CEO of a massive company, absolutely loaded, gorgeous hair, always looks stunning, drives a lush car. She is beautiful and I have a bit of a crush on her.
Then when she came to leave, she did that thing 5 year olds do where they pull their sleeve down and grip the wristband so it doesn't slip up the coat sleeves. It proper icked me.

Men (because I’ve genuinely never found a woman to ever do it) who make jokes about the number 69. Bore off you pathetic loser.

 

[Bonbon76]

Men who use ellipses to end every sentence...

What does it mean...

Are you too lazy for normal punctuation...

Is it meant to make you sound mysterious...

Honestly. He's a 10 but this is making him a 7.

I have a silly little crush on my boss just because it helps get the days in and today was hit with a triple whammy of icks where my colleague described him (accurately) as a golden retriever, then on a teams call later that day I suddenly noticed his resemblance to an ex boyfriend of mine, and in addition at one point i glanced at him and he was sitting with a gormless expression.

I will have to work past the icks as having a harmless little crush keeps me motivated at work.

Middle-aged men who are obsessively into fitness in an attempt to look younger, especially when they have Turkey teeth and tribal tattoos and wear tight-fitting clothing to highlight their gainz.

Ladbaby. I hardly know anything about him/them but the name “ladbaby” is major ick right away.

 

[Foxvint]

Newborn photo shoots
The ones where the babies are posed in contortionist positions resembling the Cirque du Soleil entertainers!
Just why?

Yes. Bonus points for ridiculous satin bow hairbands on baldy heads.

I’ve just got off a plane and I have three icks.

1. People who listen to music/films/whatever without headphones on a plane.

2. people who stand up in the aisle as soon as the seatbelt light goes off.

3. people who stand in the aisle as soon as the seatbelt light goes off but don’t get their bags from the overhead lockers until they aisle is clear in front of them, despite being stood there for 10 minutes with room to get their bags down.

I probably have more

I went on a date with a guy who was allergic to orange. Wouldn’t have icked me out so much but we were at a cocktail bar (his choosing) and he was looking through the menu discarding everything because it had orange in it. He had to get the barmen to check the labels on the back of each gin to see if it had orange blossom in it. He eventually ordered a whisky cocktail that was ’mighty strong’.

Safe to say, no second date.

We live opposite a school and it annoys my boyfriend so much that cars always park across our drive, the other week there was a traffic warden outside keeping an eye on all the cars. My fella went and took our son to school and I noticed him speaking to the traffic warden out the window, when my fella came back I asked him what he said to the traffic warden, he was like ‘I told him he’s doing a good job’ ick intensified

My ick- girls who have long nails, and they have those weird up turned nails. I know its because they have short nail beds, but just keep them short, they are

Omg I once had a customer read out their card number to me, one digit at a time. And they waited for me to confirm I’d understood each digit. I wanted to jump out of the window

Tommy mallet popping up on every podcast known to man talking like some profound spiritual guru about life being doing working hard being skint, relatable , selling cars to not look rich …..only to then post videos of buying luxury cars etc etc …..oh bore off Tommy!!!!!!!

The whole 'hustle' thing is such an ick.

When men say things like 'work never sleeps'...and talk about 'the grind,' 'the struggle' and 'the end goal', and are obsessed with crptocurrency.

Like calm down Dave, you work in marketing - you're not Elon Musk.
