The ick #10

[Ensay]

I can’t stand it!! Or when (using your username as example) they have kids and say littlest islawight/baby islawight instead of my youngest son. Oh my Christ, it makes my toes curl, but most posters seem to do it so we must be in the minority!

In a similar vein, I hate it when people post a photo of their other half on social media and refer to them as "this one".

For example: "Celebrating three years with this one", or "enjoying a fab meal out with this one".

I don't know why, it just makes me cringe.

I don't know why, but I hate it when a man is fully dressed but barefoot. Barefoot because he's in swimming trunks or something, fine, but fully dressed and barefoot is horrid.

I'd just like to semi-retract this. I've just been watching Die Hard ('tis the season) and I did forget about that. John McClane is the one exception to this rule.

One of my mates loves to shorten words - for example “nugs” for chicken nuggets. I find it so annoying!

I know a woman in her 40s who calls them "nug nugs"

I call them nug nugs. Or nuggies...I think I am a walking ick

Someone on my Facebook got married yesterday and it was such an ‘insta perfect’ wedding.

The clearly set-up photo ops that so many people have done before gives me the absolute ick

Our local Facebook group is full of busybodies who like to shame bad drivers complete with pictures of dodgy parking etc. The men posting screenshots of the Highway Code and links to YouTube videos about the correct way to merge is giving me the major ick Please get a bleeping life.

As are (sorry for anyone who has named their child thus) men whose actual name is a diminutive form of a regular name - whilst the diminutive name may be fine when they are a baby, grown men who have to put "Tommy" or "Archie" as their actual name on their formal documentation give me the ick.

Names ending in ie or y seem to be trending more this year. Relative called her baby Freddie, perhaps he'll call himself Fred when older! Relative's friends who gave birth this year have also named their babies with similar ending...Alfie, Maisie, Ronnie, Albie, Tommy, etc.

I have an IE name and my 4 year olds ends in y everyone spells my name with a y I was surprised when I got Christmas cards and people spelt it right

I had a free half chicken on my Nando’s card and my boyfriend suggested we get mango and lime or whatever it is. It was nearly over there and then lol

Where does the ballsack go when this happens? To the side or squashed beneath them like a pair of giant mushy peas?

This morning saw two adult males meeting up outside the train station. They clutched hands and leaned forward to touch shoulders and then finished with a high five.

Where were their carers ?

Slightly related to the holding a knife like a pencil, I get major ick when someone is writing and holds their pen in their clenched fist, sort of like how a two-year-old holds their crayon when they're maniacally colouring in.

I had an uber masculine boyfriend once (very tall, high up career, motorcyclist, sexually dominant etc) and then we went out for dinner and he had hot chocolate. Later on he had super weak coffee with three sugars.

It wasn't the ick exactly, but I do remember thinking "shall I just get you some squash in a sippy cup and have done with it?"

they stab the sausage with it without even cutting it up so the whole things plonked on the end of the fork - while holding it like a crayon!
