The ICK #12

[it’s not been changed?!]

I’m sure my stepmum would marry her son if she could. Why are some boy mums like this?

You know when people have a sexy voice so you build up a mental image of them, then you actually get to meet them and realise they have no business having a sexy voice WHAT SO EVER!.

This was years back but I used to be obsessed with Johnnie Walker who was on Radio 1 at that time. I loved his voice and would listen to him every week. This was early/mid 90s so Internet wasn't quite what it was but the crushing disappointment I felt when I finally saw a picture of him, then found out he was the same age as my dad

The phrase ‘take a lover’

My ick is where someone wears glasses and they obviously never clean them. Like you can see the smears on the glass and the grime on the nose bits

I clean mine once a day as a rule (and more often of necessary) but they still get smears. It really does happen so easily

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!

OH. MY. GOD.

I just gagged on your behalf

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

I don’t think I’d be bothered by the smell as I used to vape myself and don’t find it offensive, but I’d be bothered by the audacity

Yeh, Idc if people smoke or whatever, it’s the fact she waited until I’d left the car to do it and didn’t say anything when I got back in when it was so obvious!

I would like to nominate the man on my flight back from Barcelona to Heathrow last night. I didn't know he existed until landing.

He stood up as soon as the plane stopped taxiing, was chewing gum, and had one of those truckers caps that seem to sit on top of your head rather than actually fit.

Also, the man in the row in front of him who was completely bald on top but had kept the side and back long and had put it in a top-knot style, just around the back of his head.

Clearly I was very judgy last night.

My friend once said she envied those kind of men who were walking around swigging cans of lager at 8 am… no work, no responsibilities whenever I see one, I think of her slaving away at work, lager can-less!!

My office over looks a beer garden and in the summer I see the same old faces sat there every day and think who's the mug here!.

 

[Freda Fandango]

Oh definitely beards.

I mean I find it difficult eating spaghetti bolognaise without getting it over myself

There must be all sorts of crumbs sauce and other food items lurking even in short beards.

Actually facial hair of any description, if you blow your nose with a moustache god knows what's in it

[Por Que?]

My sister is trying to get us tickets to a gig she wants to go to and keeps referring to them as tix in the chat .

You’ve just reminded me how much I detest people at work using “prezzo” instead of presentation

 

[Foxvint]

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

Similar to a man talking about 'the little lady' an it's his 3 year old kid.

Men with no muscle definition.

I'm not saying become a muscle head but get to the gym and lift some weights

 

[qqwertyy]

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.

It’s the sucking for me

 

[MollyMalone]

Bono

In particular when he says "uno, dos, tres, catorce" at the start of Vertigo

This is hilariously specific and also correct!

 

[qqwertyy]

When people swill their drink around in their mouth when they’re eating (it just makes me think of all the food particles flying around )

 

[Hastaggifted]

[Eggsandbeans]

People with baby on board stickers.
Stone Island anything
Gymshark anything, worse if item has 'gymshark lifting club' on it, wtf
