The ICK #12

[YR80]

Describing an egg as a “jammy egg” turns my stomach

 

[Sir Lancelot]

"Oh, mate, I was getting railed last night!"

Ok, cool, but why are you telling me?

 

[Catfan2]

People who take part in or watch St George’s day parades or events

Is that because you think they are all far right? Genuine question.

 

[Captainmouse]

My husband does a thing.
The thing he does gives me the ick.

When a musician or actor he/we like dies, he essentially goes through their back catalogue for days.
He’s been wfh today and I’ve been off work sick; all I’ve heard all day is Sly and the Family Stone from I got up! Sly Stone died yesterday.

Be prepared for the beach boys

 

[BearOnChair]

Dublin specific... people who wear their Leap cards on a lanyard

Any lanyard outside of a mandatory work environment is an ick. I never get why people work around in the wild on their lunch breaks or after work with them on.

I have the ick from a colleague and it makes me feel bad because the person is lovely!
She lives at home, she’s mid thirties but that’s not the ick, it’s that she is the classic, lives at home so acts like a teenager. She talks about how she has arguments with her siblings but they sounds so ridiculous! Or about how she ‘went to her room’ to get away, the idea of an adult only having ‘their room’ just feels a bit childish and gives me the ick.
Lack of independence and ambition icks me out, so the way she talks about only being with her family and having nothing outside of that makes me see her as a child. She gets up on the weekend and sits on the sofa with her family, then they go out as a family, she comes home and relaxes with them. She only holidays with family and one of her siblings has a few kids and she is very very involved in this part of the family, to the point where it’s like she has nothing going on of her own, going to school pick up and admits pushing into conversations her sister has with the staff if she doesn’t like what’s being said. She isn’t interested in friends and even refuses to do anything with the colleagues when we have anything going on. It just feels like there is a teenager in the office. Sorry that’s long and sorry if it offends anyone, I needed to get it out! I recognise I’m being unfair so can’t say this to anyone as it is so mean!

she doesn't give me the ick, but it made me feel sad. I understand the part of living at home as things and economy can be very difficult, but the no friends/partner part and only having her family seems a bit unusual.

Admin guy walked into our office last week and said loudly, "HAPPY FRISKY FRIDAY, FOLKS!" and was met by silence.

I think atmosphere was actually vacuumed from the room.
He went quietly to his desk and spoke to nobody for the rest of the day.

You know he was playing that moment in his head all day... And all weekend. Poor sod. Let us know what he does tomorrow.

We had a receptionst who did that on the wall of the ladies toilet.
I dread to think what their homes are like.

When I was younger, I helped my friend move her bedroom around and I kid you not, down behind her bed was like textured wallpaper with so many dried BOGEYS!!! We were probably 10/11 but I bet she still does it

 

[Samf2020]

Bloke in my job wishes all "the girls in the office' a Happy Womens day. He doesnt see how bad it is calling grown women girls.

 

[Scotia]

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

Fucking deviants!

 

[GBNI]

STOP IT!

Hope you don’t live in NI as the 12th would be traumatic for you

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Men who have wild nostril hair. He has just liked me on bumble

Gives you something to hold onto... *makes himself sick*

 

[Islawight]

Men wearing camouflage cargo shorts. Are they going hunting on their knees?

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Someone I know keeps pronouncing Echo Falls as Ee-ko Falls.

 

[Yer_wha?!]

Men carrying shopping baskets in the crook of their arm- saw this at least 3 times in my local supermarket earlier and it just made me shudder. Sorry lads!

 

[pommynoir]

Men recording videos for social media, especially dancing ones.

 

[Samf2020]

Colleague who gave me an instant ick first time I met him, rocked up to work this morning with a shopping bag containing his Halloween costume. It was a full body ick when I saw that.
He will go around all day saying "hey have you got your costume for the big party". Lunchtime some idiots in here will squawk and scream about how cool they are that they dressed up.
They are adults, its a place of business, we have clients coming in and out all day.
Im torn between saying I dressed up as a professional or just saying no Im not a child.
Oh god he has already started with being "funny" on Teams. Time to mute that chat for the day.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

People who say ChatGBT.

It rolls off the tongue better than “GPT”, though

 

[Sir Lancelot]

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.

I hope he was reported to HR.

 

[Saudade]

Men who dance salsa/bachata.
