You described one of my colleagues perfectly, been at my work for a decade and struts around like he owns the place

Whoever just said the ick comes along randomly is right… I’ve been with men for a year before the ick has come along, after all going well. Once it’s there and taken root, within a couple of weeks I hate them. Like literally from feeling in love to pure hatred. I like to think it’s a sign they’re not right for you rather than just being a psychopath

I read a theory the other day its to do with hormones and ovulating etc.

What we want in a man is totally different depending on where we are in our cycle. So when you're fertile you want one who will impregnate you and be caring etc. and then as those hormones wane BAM the ick comes along and makes you see the truth that he isn't that great after all

My ex posted an old photo of him in primary school once and I got the ick from him in his little raincoat holding his little lunchbox

Genuinely think I can pinpoint most of my ‘interesting choices’ wrt men and relationships as happening around ovulation. I have recently dumped someone who gave me the ick, after only 2 weeks earlier making me feel quite giddy…. Same thing happened with a different guy this month. Can you remember where you read about the hormones? I’d like to validate my shoddy life choices with science

When I was working from home during lockdown with my ex and heard him say the phrase “let’s just touch base”

My boyfriend (again) just had a telephone doctor appointment and answered the phone going ‘hello doctor’

I am howling at this so much also reminded me of when my husband called the doctor “Doc” when I was in labour and I said if I hear you say that again we are getting a divorce.

I worked with one of these. He got away with it because he was the personal coke dealer to all of the senior managers, including the CEO who was always in the paper wanging on about how much he did for charity.

I may have shared this ick before but I recall a bus driver who was grumpy & rude to passengers but when the schoolgirls got on turned into cheeky chirpy Pete!

Our high school bus driver used to actually turn around in his seat (so facing the girls as we were getting off) and completely eyeball us. It made me so uncomfortable but some of the girls not knowing any better thought it was a laugh we were 12-15

same!

men that are obsessed with dogs give me the ick tbh. like walking down the street and when they see a dog they point at it and say excitedly "dog!" omg wow so quirky. men that are obsessed with their own dogs and talk to you about them on dating apps and send pics when you didn't ask ... cringe

Grown men who refer to their mother as “mammy”. Seems particular to Irish men and omg.
