The ICK #12

[Hollie Day]

A new colleague at work. If it wasn't icky enough that she refers to her children as 'the puppies' she has just mentioned she's meeting 'big doggy' for lunch. Big doggy being her husband

A man writing a review of a local cafe "The hot chocolate is to die for". You just know he wears one of these hats as he wraps his cold trembling hands around the mug.

I apologise in advance to anyone this applies to but when posters refer to family members using their own username, like if I said Mr Qwerty or Mini Qwerty or Baby Qwerty, rather than my partner, my son or whatever. It sets my teeth on edge but I’m really sorry if that’s you

When to see Robbie Williams last night and there was a guy there who obviously had been told at some point he looked like him. - he didn’t. People were queuing to have pictures taken with him and his partner was taking the pictures. I couldn’t even look

I’ve seen a few wedding ceremonies on TikTok where the bride and groom’s child does a voiceover on the speakers before the bride comes down the aisle and the groom starts crying and the child comes down the aisle in an electric car or something icky like that.
Don’t hate me

My friends husband was walking around outside barefoot once when we were at a destination wedding. He kept saying he loved the hot weather and ‘getting his toes out’. I still think about it.

Youngest child's choir performance tonight. One of the parents took it upon themselves to stand up at the end and recite a poem they had 'written' about the teachers.

It was long, mawkish and obviously AI. Everyone lapped it up .

We hot desk at work today a man (whom I would put at early 40's) sat down opposite me and unpacked two labubu's. They're currently taking pride of place on his desk.

People who constantly use your name when talking to you. Had to make a call to sort an order out and he said my name more than anyone has for the entire year.
I was cringing by the end of it. He also said ciao ciao at the end.

Dropped the other half off at train station this morning just as his train was pulling in. The way he ran from the car into the station gave me massive ick....

This is so specific and I say it as a woman who loves a bearded man. But I was watching a band yesterday and a member had a long beard and was wearing a standard crew neck t-shirt. And it suddenly occurred to me that, similar to how us with long hair have to flick our hair out from inside the neck of a t-shirt when we put it on, men with long beards must have to do the same the thought of a man fishing his beard out of the neckline gave me the boke

Saw this an thought of this thread

 

[April89]

I’ve heard it mentioned on here but it’s happened! A man came into my workplace to do some work and slid past me, his bum level with my face about 3 feet away. I would have preferred he asked me to move and not slide in beside me but hey ho!
Then he slides back and I notice it - I can smell his bum
He had not washed or wiped properly and I could tell!

The way men sometimes lay in bed looking like a Victorian child that’s dying of Consumption.

 

[BonBon27]

When my husband says he’s going to put “jungle juice” in the car. Dude you’re better than that, just say petrol FFS!

 

[Pesky Tarian]

A guy I work with is obsessed with how much he farts, makes me itch!
He talks about it way too much. He told us as a random point one day, that he has dietary needs and that’s why. We all laughed and sympathised it’s no big deal. But now he talks about it everyday!! He’s on and on about stories where he farts near his wife and she feels grossed out, he farted on the train and people were disgusted, everyday we get the topic being brought up. Complete Ick.

I once worked with a guy who would happily announce that he had just been to the toilet for a wank as he was stressed . Men love their own bodily functions.

If we are driving, and turn a corner into bright sunlight, husband will say "oh that's sharp" as he puts down the sun visor.

It is BRIGHT
Not SHARP

Nobody says that's a sharp light.
Ick.

 

[mindlessness]

I love these threads. Just endlessly funny.

One of my current icks is the way people clutch their vapes tightly with their whole fist as if they're afraid to loosen their grip.

My colleague and i went out in my car on our lunch break. I nipped out and left her sat in the car and when I got back in, she’d been vaping in my car and didn’t think I would notice. Except my car stunk of blackberries or something. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I think it’s rude to do it in someone else’s car.
