"The Ick" #7

[it’s not been changed?!]

I’ve just seen someone post a photo of her and her bf In Christmas elf outfits. She’s 28 and I have no idea how old her boyfriend is, but in one pic, she’s carrying him like a baby. As if the fancy dress wasn’t enough.

This music stuff reminds of of a time I was talking to this guy about music and what my favourite song was etc. couple of days after he sent me a video that he just recorded for me of him not only playing guitar but singing or rather murdering my favourite song. Two words…dry vagina! Never spoke again

Men wearing ankle length puffer jackets. Bonus ick points if they're wearing those man leggings underneath!

When you see a bloke from work in thier 'casual' gear. I was in a bar last Christmas and saw a few blokes from my office. One of them had a LEATHER BOMBER JACKET on and he was drinking some cocktail with orange slices and a twirly orange peel on the side.

I relate to this ick so strongly - one of my colleagues turned up at someone's leaving drinks in one of those leather jackets that have a hoodie pre-stitched and attached into the jacket. He was wearing it with a tie dye v neck t-shirt showing off his very pale and hairy chest

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

My fella just had a coughing fit and he was like, coughing, then choked on his own saliva and began coughing even more. it went on for about 15 mins and in that 15 mins i got the ick

 

[Ingognito.Queen]

Men who drive exactly to the speed limit
Men who can't park
Men who use cruise control
Men who use the speed limiter on their car

Shite drivers!

Or just men in general.

Had a man say ‘making love’ to me once I did actually like him up until that moment then I wanted to die off.

 

[merlot]

this is incredible, i can feel the hatred emanating through your post i need to know how you got over this ick

You're spot on there. He used to make me bilious!
Constantly pestering me to go out with him, give him a chance... then one day I've (to this day) no idea what happened. Out of the blue I just thought omfg I like him!!! I'm sure he manifested it or something. It's some kind of witchcraft because honest to God the lad knocked me sick for years. From his shit tees , wearing his jeans round his arse & his fucking shit plimsol shoes & his exhaust on his car.

I really think because he wanted to go out with me so much it actually happened... there is literally NO OTHER explanation, I swear I didn't like him to the point of shuddering. Now 5 years down the line, gone are the tees, and the ick .. He can do no wrong for me. He's just a wonderful human being.

That's something weird isn't it ... because I swear he knocked me sick for years.

This thread had reminded me of the time my friend who gets the ick very easily, got the ick because a guy had a PC in his bedroom, and another guy gave her the ick because he licked his finger to turn a page in a restaurant menu

 

[StrawberryBanana90]

Guys who continue to suck on straws when the drink is clearly finished and it makes that noise
Equally, guys who have those water bottles with straws at work. I don’t want to see you sipping like a child at your desk

 

[EvilJigglypuff]

I travel to work by train and recently sometimes by bus since the train strikes have been on, I get the ick when I see blokes on public transport. OK, I don't drive and have no intention but get a fucking car.

I’m on dating apps at the moment and when I talk to a guy and find out he doesn’t drive, it really gives me the ick. Even though I also do not drive.

 

[no-no]

Men who use these trailers:

There are a few by me who make such a fuss every school run, they’d be quicker walking.

 

[Mamacita]

For those who said they get the ick seeing men in Xmas jumpers- would you not even be convinced by this one???

 

[Rayne]

Polishing his glasses with a little glasses cloth

 

[Hollie Day]

Men who sling a jumper across their back and tie the sleeves in a knot across their chest.

 

[Hastaggifted]

Men using bags for life

 

[Meringue22]

The dolce & gabbana advert for K, the men’s aftershave. He eye fucks the camera and kisses his reflection. Ew

 

[capriallie]

Then the back of the jeans have gone all frayed at the back because they’re too long and drag along the floor

When men wear black shoes with jeans. Like suit shoes or loafers

This was a couple of Saturdays ago so maybe

He got all flustered and threw his hat and gloves on the floor instead of on the table as well fussed with his hair and kept saying what a mess it was because of his hat. So awkward



The breath issue is too much! I know a couple like this, her breath reeks and so does his, it’s like someone has shat in their mouths. The thought of the two of them mingling into one is really disgusting but I think of it whenever I’m in their company

One time I kissed someone with bad breath and as I was walking home I could smell a pooey smell that I couldn't get rid of / walk away from. I put my hand to my mouth and realised his breath smell had somehow permeated my mouth. I had to get some chewing gum quick.
