Oh God, and the explaining. 'WELL ACTUALLY, its so the paramedics know there's an infant who may have flown out the window!' That's day one of paramedic training, I'm sure, prioritise twee windscreen signs as triage. And of course everyone diligently removes it whenever the child is absent.
It's like, its fine if you just want to brag that you had kids and/or are a shit driver, but please stop the long urban myths about why you have one.

I just gave myself the ick falling down the stairs. I dread to think what my facial expression was. The thing is, I was trying to creep down the stairs so I didn’t wake up the cat that’s sleeping on the landing. 🤦‍♀️ that serves me right for getting the ick over the post office woman.

I did an online course one time and the tutor had beautifully manicured and painted - but very long - nails. I used to have to look away when she was waving them around. Which she did - a lot. I have almost a phobia about long nails, and also anyone doing things like filing their nails near me. [shudder]

Not as bad obviously as someone biting their nails, that really turns my stomach.

I feel this way too. I can't stand when you see celebs gesticulating with 3 inch long talons. Cynthia Erivo, for example. Nails like that make me shudder. I can only tolerate my own nails to be 3 milimeters long before I am desperate to chop them off.

A man wearing 3/4 length trousers carrying a rolled-up yoga mat under his arm, who I drove past on my way home from work.

In a shop the other day and one of the staff was stocking a display and singing 'Kung Fu Fighting' just loud enough that people would definitely hear him/look over. He was really into it and I thought my legs were going to give way from the effort of walking past and pretending I didn't see him. He could certainly hold a tune which somehow made it worse?

People who can't use a knife and fork give me the ick on a massive scale. Also people who cut up pasta (especially spaghetti) and scoop it up with a spoon. Bad table manners generally give me the ick, even if I see people on television with their elbows on the table, etc. it makes me want to vomit.

A sign of the times, sadly. I watched a programme last week about primary school children (UK) in the 60s/70s eating their meals in the canteen, and the first thing I noticed was how they were all holding and using their cutlery properly.

Roll on a few decades later, and watching the way some people hold their cutlery - especially on programmes such as Come Dine With Me & First Dates, etc, the accurate phrase 'shovels & spanners' springs to mind.

And yes, that would definitely give me the ick.
