"The Ick" #8

[Purrrrrrr]

Have a read, it's a laugh.

That just reminded me of when I was booking to go to Australia for a month and when asking my hosts things to pack they said about it's very casual here we just walk about in thongs all the time we even go shopping or restaurants in them.











I of course then didnt know they called flip flops thongs

them using “u” instead of “you” gives me the ick

Anyone who shortens words full stop. It’s not 1999 and we’re not on a character shortage on our Nokias.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Another mad ick. Men with travel pillows! ew!

A bloke has liked me on bumble today and his main photo is a selfie of him boarding a plane with the travel pillow round his neck

Ashy, dusty elbows

Yes! With ball bag skin

Some of these icks are subjective - I don’t agree with all of them - but over the weekend I experienced what can surely only be described as universal icks.

I got chatting to a group of men in their 30s and 40s at a bar. They looked fine…a couple of them were actually quite attractive. But one of them smelt vaguely of poo (like he’d ‘followed through’ rather than outright shit his pants - sorry!). Two of them were talking to me simultaneously and I was caught in the crossfire of their spit every time they opened their mouths. And another of them kept banging on about how he was getting divorced and was desperate for a shag and did I want to see a photo of his huge penis?

Can anyone remember the guy that went on Embarrassing Illnesses (or Bodies, one of those anyway) saying he smelt of poo and it was embarrassing. The Doc did all sorts of tests and it came down to the fact he wasn't wiping his arse properly. He just sort of gave it one wipe and hoped for the best. He was a barman too if I remember rightly. Imagine the whole pub stinking of shit?

Seeing this man has ruined my day.

Yesterday my neighbour opened his front door, tripped over the door step, did a little hoppy bounce on his feet to right himself, and then giggled () before skipping () to his car.

All forever evidenced on my Ring doorbell.

Just asked my mountain of a builder if he would like anything from the shop and he asked me for 'pink milk and a Kinder Bueno' .

Don’t think anything could ever replace this as my number one ick: men who push past every woman, child and OAP to get on the train and get a seat. When they barely let people get off first before they’re huffing and puffing through the carriage with pure desperation. It makes me feel ill

Last night my husband asked me how he could “zhuzh up” the dinner he was making. I told him to never ever say that again.

Okay, this one comes with screenshots, this guy came up on my facebook feed as a suggested video... He has a dedicated wardrobe for his chihuahua... And chooses outfit and accessories for it every day...

ICK! I think it's seeing all the outfits lined up in a decadent wardrobe that icks me the most.

When people say they’ve done a 360 rather than 180

 

[TillyMiffin]

Any kind of ‘cosplay’
Beards as a personality trait
Band t shirts
Men who clap when they laugh
Tattoos as a personality trait
Phobias

Just returned from a week in Gran Canaria...so many icks!

MEN
- sharpie beards
- football tops
- loud, showing off behaviour on the plane (bloke talked non-stop at his pal for 4.5hrs and didn't utter a single interesting sentence)
- cropped leggings
- drunk dads leaving all the childcare to the women. Bonus ick when they're pissed by lunch time

WOMEN
- Full slap on a crack-of-dawn flight
- florescent bodycon dresses that ride up to flap-height

ANYONE
- people who can't just sit on their arses on the plane, and insist on talking to their pal whilst leaning on your seat
- Glaswegians on holiday *cringes in Scottish*
- people with no thought for other people when clomping their drunk way back to their apartments after midnight

Other than that, lovely holiday

Men trying to be really cool
Marcus Butler for instance:

 

[Bobbleowl90]

When they pour the last bit of crisps in the bag into their mouth.

Certain glasses on men. Like if they’re rectangular shaped frames and no rim
I don’t even know why! A man of like 30 wearing these

Oh god yeah, I hate those fucking glasses on anybody. Imo the only glasses that are kind of sexy on a man are a more subtle version of Clark Kent style glasses, with thickish black rims, and NOT rectangular shaped!

ETA: also those fucking glasses where the lenses turn dark outside but there’s always a delay when people go into the shade again so they end up sitting inside with dark glasses for a couple of minutes. Those glasses absolutely infuriate me!!!

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

The London magic Mike show keeps coming up on my for you page on tiktok. Men doing dance routines and sticking their tongue out makes me cringe.

 

[Hiyaguys]

Men that take selfies with those serious faces trying to look all mean & brooding
True story my ex took one of those IN A BUBBLE BATH.. IN BLACK & WHITE!!! And made it his fb profile pic then lost access to his fb so now when anyone searches him up they see it
