The ICK #11

[Ingognito.Queen]

Culty new age behavior and style ala unwashed and ungroomed, barefoot, carnivore, polyamorous dudes. Yuuck

Or worse - vegan men.

I seen some guy before walking down the street with a half pint of milk, half empty then he stopped and had a swig

To make this even worse I just said to my fella ‘I seen a guy today with a half pint of milk, half of it was empty and he had a swig of it!’ and my fella
replied ‘I’ve had a swig of milk from the bottle before’ and I replied…. ‘you’ve just given me the ick’

I overheard the staff at home bargs discussing where the halloween stuff is going to go. It's only just got warm. *I know it's not their fault* but nooooo. Let's enjoy summer first

"Crotch goblin" when coming from a mother it sounds like she really hates and/or regrets having had the child.

It also just sounds disgusting. In fact, the word crotch gives me the ick

Men wearing band t shirts

Men who were emo / punk in their teens but haven’t grown out of it

It’s time to take the band posters down hun xx

This thread should be renamed to ‘things people hate about men’.

Nah eating yoghurt is a genderless crime

I don’t even dare look this up as I don’t want to algorithm to start showing it to me but dying at your description.

can you just like and comment on lots of cat and make up posts and gradually it will change back?

That's what I had to do when my usual buffet of interior design and food posts got interrupted by hundreds of 24 year olds couples telling me “you too can have a buy-to-let empire if you hustle and sacrifice” whilst dangling their house keys in front of dilapidated semis and forgetting to mention they live with mum and dad and had a £100k inheritance. Which was also an ick.

I don't want to interact with any of these videos, even the ones I like! I think the answer is to quickly scroll past the icky toddler boys and let the cats and makeup play through. Just don't know why they started appearing at all. I get the ick just thinking about them setting up their cameras, gurning and smarming into them, watching them back and then uploading them and checking the likes. Ugh.

To be fair, she’d been in hospital for about a week, came home and the next day they called and asked her to come in for a check up, but yes, my frustration and ick factor comes from the fact that her husband or one of her adult sons couldn’t have gone with her in a taxi. I had to cut my plans short because I guess they viewed it as the easiest solution………….. and, I really don’t mean to set feminism back with this next statement, it just feels so emasculating, 3 grown men, her husband, her sons and they have to get me to drive her. Like I say, embarrassing and fucking ICK.

I would not be able to keep my mouth shut in this situation

 

[VC10]

Grown men who zoom past you on the pavement on an electric scooter. I can't explain it, I cringe every time.

Same. They need putting down

 

[DrNooo]

Similar to this, I hate it when people tag their partners as ‘my love’ on Facebook, like “Eating dinner with my love” or “Watching the sunset with my love.” Stop it.

I also hate it when people continually refer to their partner as their “other half”, implying that without their partner they are somehow less of a person. Piss off with your codependency and get some opinions and a life of your own.

 

[Sparkledarmer]

Gave myself the ick today as I purchased 5 sausage rolls from Greggs for my daughter and her friends

 

[cwymmie]

People using the word bombastic

 

[EvilJigglypuff]

Men who upload their dashcam footage to YouTube

 

[Mamacita]

I have also came across it on social media quite a lot with anecdotes of when adults are complaining about the running around and general misbehaviour of other people's children in public places especially when the parents don't reprimand the children. So it's a statement of disapproval of other people and their decision or impulse to have children or maybe dislike of children in general hence why the term is a disgusting term.
But maybe I have digressed somewhat.

Im not a huge fan of children so don't care about that part as much, it just sounds disgusting

 

[cwymmie]

Men who have the bumpers up for bowling

 

[pinkmug]

Men who make a weak joke then labour it for ages doing a really obvious laugh while making eye contact make my skin crawl. You make a slight acknowledgement but they keep on laughing at their wit and sometimes even try to explain the joke or repeat it as if you haven't got it.

Oh god, this is my friend's husband. I don't know how the woman doesn't climb out of her skin with cringe everyday, she doesn't even notice it. Urgh.

 

[Thank(space)you]

When influencers post them posing in semi see through pants with very visible period pads. I just find it ick

 

[Pesky Tarian]

Those mini cheddar bags make a right noise don't they? I have a colleague who has a daily bag too, and the bag rustles so loud.

That's so true!!. They're sent to torture us.

Although don't get me wrong I don't mind a mini cheddar. It's like when I'm making the kids sandwiches at 6.30 and absent mindedly lick my finger and get a taste of dairy lea or tuna mayo - early morning food icks.

 

[Warpaint]

Cyclists who ring their bell as they're about to pass you on the Canal.

Extra points if they're in full cycling clobber.
