I’ve probably said in another thread, but when I waved off the lad I’d been seeing for a short while and then went to the window to watch him walk off, I noticed he was walking down the street with his arms and hands facing forwards 😂 dumped with immediate effect.

I just had to try and do this myself to properly visualise it 🤣. How is that even comfortable?!

I've just come across this bio of someone I used to know. Wtf 🤣 *fulltimeworker* killed me off

(1) When I see photos of men topless having skin to skin with a newborn.
(2) When I see men walking down the street with babies in slings.

Sorry there is a theme 🤷‍♀️

When I walk into a room and my boyfriend is on the phone, he does a gesture with his hand to indicate to me he's speaking to someone, like this 🤙🤙🤙🤙

It annoys me so much 🤣 even more so cause it's as if I dont already hear him shouting down the phone like he's on another side of a football pitch

Been lurking for a while but online dating tipped me over the edge this week!

Men on dating apps who post pictures with their kids and don’t blur their faces.

Sexual messages from strangers (especially the ones with their kids in profiles as mentioned!!)

Making homophobic/racist jokes.

Making everything about them and not asking you a single question.

Big muscley men who wear too tight shirts so the buttons strain at the chest🙃

Short sleeve button up white shirts on a night out

shoes with no socks or wearing those little
socks that are essentially toe covers

Putting on a baby voice & acting pathetic for attention…I told a man I wasn’t really feeling our 3 day chat and wished him good luck and no hard feelings. He sent back ‘I’m Sorry 😞’ The entire conversation he asked me about 2 questions and they were both related to his interests lol

Work Icks are people who make it obvious the office is their entire social life and try to get you to do stuff with them socially during lunch when they are a bully or rude during work hours

oversharers who tell you all their problems when you are not friends (boss told me all about his mum’s illness during a work meeting please take it to a counsellor hun you get paid enough.)

This probably makes me seem like a witch but I’m sick of people ignoring my boundaries, I have my own problems I don’t go on about them during my meetings 😂
My manager used to be psychologically abusive to me (this was years ago) and I told her she needed serious help cause she’s an awful person. She started oversharing she’s like this because her dad used to beat her mom and it messed her up.
I’m sorry this happened but why are u telling me this? Im not ur friend. Why are u crying…This aint a therapy session. I don’t have time for this. And I understand we r humans but cmon im here to work and duck off
Same thing happened months ago when I met my new colleague and during our lunch she confessed her sister was abusive to her.
Why does this keep happening to me

Just remembered possibly my most petty ick.
Former boyfriend saw a squirrel in the park and bent over, trying to summon it by doing that thing you do to cats. Rubbing his thumb and forefinger together and making the kissy noise.
It's a wild animal! What a dumbarse. I ended things with him shortly after that.

I absolutely relate to this! Sorry to hear it. In my experience if you are a naturally caring and empathetic person people feel they can dump their trauma on you because you seem like a friend. I think sometimes it’s because they are lonely but also some people are narcissistic pricks who thrive on attention.
It’s happened to me so often I ended up going to therapy for something else and my therapist told me I had no boundaries which is why people take the piss. Was harsh but has helped me a lot. 😂

Hate it when they turn their parenting up to the max. Like they're a walking Athena poster.
