"The Ick" #4

[BattleAxing]

I hate dividing pennies. I find it really awkward and would rather fork out for the entire meal between two than sit there dividing who had what. Even eating out with friends I feel weird doing it.

Was on the train and a trio of toff nosed, city type men sat down. They didn’t look short of money judging by their clothing and manner but they were using a calculator on a phone to divide around £16 for sandwiches. I overheard one pipe up that his was only £3.60 and he will not pay anymore than that. There was a small kerfuffle over it. I think my fanny would grow a pair of hands and sew itself shut if I had a man who divided pennies.

When adults make Twitter accounts in the voice or style of their pet. E’g ‘Hooman has gone to work today’ ‘mummy bought back fish for my dinner’ proper ick. You’re 40 years old, it’s unnecessary

Mr cat kinda gave me the ick the first couple weeks of dating. Very early on he started calling me 'baby'. Cringe, I absolutely over thought it at the time and wondered if I could carry on 4 years later we couldn't be happier and I swear he gets better looking

I read that at first as 'my cat kinda gave me the ick.....he started calling me 'baby''!

Fussy eaters are the ultimate ick for me. Fair enough some people have various issues that limit their food choices, but for the average person with nowt wrong other than the fact they need to grow up... no.

Men who won't eat vegetables. Are you a toddler? Do you want me to cut your food up into little pieces and feed you? Shall we sing some nursery rhymes?

Me and my partner went ice skating today. And he told me he didn’t know if he could ice skate and I got the ick imagining them slipping and sliding or falling on their arse flailing their hands about.

the fact that I cannot ice skate myself is also irrelevant

I still ick when I think of this, it traumatise me. I read a Jilly Cooper book and the man in it was having an affair and as they had sex he …I am embarrassed to repeat it as it’s just so icky… he said in his posh sex voice “butter cunt, oh butter cunt” I literally gasped in horror

I am living for this thread!
My boyfriend in the first year of uni broke my glade candle and hid it in my drawer. I found it a few days later and was like what the actual fuck, it’s a glade candle costs about £4 I don’t care if it’s broken but now you make me feel sick.
Also a one night stand shouted “I’ve hit the jackpot!” when he came

That just reminds me of a guy I was seeing who would slap himself across the head once he came.

 

[mindlessness]

Not men who cycle, but specifically men who wear lycra to cycle. The sorts who go off on a weekend morning with their cycling buddies and act like they're in a Tour de France peloton, complete with gaudy lycra cycling gear.

 

[Spoke]

A guy had his pronouns set to daddy/sir…

I was crossing the road after work and waiting for the green man. I thought how embarrassing it would be to get run over. Like, I can’t cross the road properly or something. Then I thought it’s a massive ick for me. A man who got run over. Told my husband he thought I was absolutely ridiculous

 

[watermelon sugar]

Blokes who wear thumb rings. Also blokes who wear rings on their pinky finger the thought of them just being stood there, putting on a ring on their thumb/pinky or any finger tbh gives me the boak

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

I don’t want to offend anyone, but I’m chatting to someone and he told me he did an escape room this weekend. It’s given me the ick.

 

[CherryAcid]

Men on dating apps who have pictures of themselves in their cycling clothes. Those really tight suits and the helmets…. I can’t

This guy used to come into my office to drop off his keys and he would be in his cycling gear ready to go home. I'm talking skintight neon cycling shorts which showed off EVERYTHING.

Speaking of shorts, I cant tell you how many runaway balls I have seen from men in short shorts. I will always remember this heavyset pensioner got on the bus and sat opposite me(those seats that face each other) and his crinkly old man ball was hanging out for all the journey.

 

[Vee6]

Men with a roll of fat on the back of their head/neck that blanches and turns white at times

 

[HelloStereo]

I once went on a date with a guy who had a ridiculous laugh. It sounded like a middle aged posh woman and was literally a loud high pitched "haw haw haw haw". I had to stop being funny because it made me cringe so bad.

 

[SuctionBucket]

Just was for me , we all get the ick for different reasons

I went for coffee with a dude once and when we were paying he went "Ooh, can I put your coffee on my stamp card!?" and the combination of the stamp card and the little "ooh" was enough to obliterate his chances right then and there. The libido is a funny bugger, yo.

 

[Eeeww David!]

The fact he thinks he's so sought after to have to write this . If you're that committed then remove yourself from tinder .

"I'm giving her my undivided attention. Apart from the time it's taken to write this utterly wank, pointless bio".

I just saw an ex boyfriend - we were together quite a long time not too far in the past. I noticed he popped up and added me. He was never really that techy, barely knew how to operate Facebook and the like, so this must be new to him. He has drawn his newly receding hairline back on. With a very poor drawing app. I had to report here immediately. It’s given me the ick.

My other half had his barber come round the house recently - I think the shop was being re-done or something. Anyway I don’t usually see him having his hair done..

But my god, him sat there in the hairdressing cape thing in front of the mirror looking like a little boy sorry

 

[Zoombeeni2245]

Things that have given me the ick in the past from various people

* calling his stomach his tummy
* picking up people’s old Tesco receipts from the floor or self service & taking them to the customer service desk to get the missed points on his Tesco clubcard
* threadbare underwear
* putting ketchup in spaghetti bolognaise
* saying I love you by texting ILY
* club thumb ( Google it)
