“The Ick”

[Kim Mild]

One of my exes told me it was ‘old people hand holding’ if you didn’t interlock your fingers

I was told not interlocking is how you hold a child's hand

I would love to hear a males side aswell!! Come on guys?

My best friends are all lads and they tell me everything I still laugh at the teacher my friend was shagging.. She spoke to him like a three year old. Willies, drinkies, snuggies, he was always being called a silly sausage. He only ever went over drunk during the middle of the night (at her request). I think it was the only way she knew he would go over if she asked him pissed.

Maybe it was the same Lad

Drug dealing chaver?

The last straw was when we went to a pub for burger and chips. He smiled when the food arrived and said 'oh dear i got more chips than you' I said the portions look the same so he started to count his chips out.
I just get ick as soon as there's a whiff of FES - fragile ego syndrome. Any bragging or boasting is a total put off. I think modesty is one of the most attractive attributes a person can have.

This is hilarious
Ah fragile ego syndrome....
I completely agree, modesty is such an attractive quality. And ability to laugh at yourself!

@birdiefly246 OMG every word of what you just said was my experience too when I was single. People were constantly trying to set me up with men even when I said I wasn't interested ("he'd be perfect for you"). I was even asked once by another woman if I was gay because I had been single a while. People need to stop projecting their insecurities to others!

YES my friends would get really weird when I was friendly with girls cause they assumed that she was my girlfriend and I just didn't want to tell them. So many conversations of "you should bring her to our couples quiz night at the pub" resulting in me going "why would I do that we're not a couple?" It wasn't helped by the fact that they were only friends with each other besides the odd work friend but I left after school and moved away so made other friends (better ones lmao). I don't people even realise they're doing it a lot of the time!

 

[aaliyahplz]

Speaking as a chap, I find nose rings give me the ick. And nose piercings, almost makes me nauseous.

my nose ring is my fave thing and I'm never going to take it out sorry to hear hahahahha do think it might be a generational thing though I was 22 when I got it done and my parents absolutely hated it (although couldn't say much) I did warn them I was going to get it done though as I knew they'd hate it but I wasn't asking for permission lol just telling them, but I'm 24 now and honestly 90% of people I know have them and wouldn't bat an eyelid

 

[ProphecyGirl]

He had a tattoo of go hard or go home and his ex's name on his chest? Jesus that's awful!

Hahah no these were two different people I was seeing/had a thing with !!! I aren't sure which is worse?

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I feel so bad for laughing but that is fucking horrific as well

Don't feel bad! I posted it to make people laugh x

 

[TwooTwooTwitTwitTwoo]

What do we think of men that talk to you for a matter of days, sometimes hours, get obsessed with you and then gush about how much they love you?

Lacking in something...probably a tangible grip on reality! Run!

ETA: Not that you're not lovely enough to fall instantly in love with of course

 

[Herefortheteeeee]

I've never spoken about this before because it's so grim but I had to stop seeing someone because the night before he'd come down with a case of 'bad guts' but he still insisted on our date going ahead. Didn't think anything of it, he seemed fine enough. Fast forward to him jumping out of bed to have the loud shits in the ensuite bathroom. Then wanting to dive back into sex. That's not the worst bit. He then bolted back into the bathroom and as he shuffled with his arse cheeks clutched together back into the bog, I could see remnants of loo roll stuck in there from his last visit. I was too sickened and mortified to tell him the real reason behind ending it so I made something up.
His final flourish was pausing before getting back into bed, smiling grimly and then performing a 'helicopter dick' before beaming at me with pride!

I am having a proper shit evening but this is everything!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing

 

[Happyvalley]

This is the worst! Like they think sending a shitty message is suddenly going make you want to reply faster to the needy idiot.


I had an "ick" the other day, my Tinder date for that evening sent me a pic of himself at work that day, he's got a very very well paid professional job.... And these were the shoes he saw fit to not only wear, but to photograph to impress me

Please tell me you didn’t go on the date?!

 

[Maiyo2020]

So like I dunno how to describe but do you know the kind of noise someone makes when they 'blow Rasperies' that fucking Naoise but like doing It in a joking way when thier messing trying to kiss u. I don't know how to put it

I'm still non the wiser. I guess I should be glad as it sounds very off-putting!

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Watching Peaky Blinders and getting the hair cut and thinking they are all ‘ard.

Don’t forget the flat caps!!

 

[Razzledazzle30]

Lil lady were you dating Johnny bravo

Haha Johnny bravo would have been a vast improvement tbh

 

[Mac900]

Years ago I was giving a blow job to a guy and he farted while I was down there. It was after a night out and he had consumed a lot of beer. I'm not sure who I felt more sorry for, me or him

This cracked me up

 

[Kim Mild]

Haha this has just reminded me of an ex in a restaurant. I ordered garlic bread and he said “garlic bread?” A la Peter Kay. Instant ick.

I'd probably say that lol

 

[Chablis1]

A long time ago now I was with a guy who kept a flannel under his pillow...a few months down the line I found out he used it during his "alone time" and his mum would wash it and put it back I dumped him immediately and had no regrets.

WTF!

 

[lozenge85]

Okay, two weeks after breaking up the relationship my former girlfriend comes into my work place, tells me she's getting MARRIED in front of my work mates. I told her to get the fuck out of my workplace, later, went round her parents house to find out what was going on. Turns out the parents had kicked out her out after learning about the bloke she was seeing on the side. That was the last relationship I had, I gave up, been single ever since.

This is so sad. I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but not all women/people are bad. I’ve had some tough times myself but I still have faith.

(Your ex sounds bonkers BTW, for what it’s worth.)

 

[aimzalicious]

Oh God I’ve just thought of another one, I went out with someone who’d sleep completely naked but wear one of those eye masks to block out the light. Combined with the nakedness I just found it really offensive. Ugh, I’m now just picturing him and shuddering.

LOL I wonder if this is my ex by any chance... he used to do the exact same thing. I wear a sleeping mask too because I can't sleep unless it's pitch black, but I do wear comfy PJs which I find to be a bit less offensive

 

[Mulholland Drive]

This might sound "ick", probably because it is! (hope you're not eating btw?)

Used tampons - do you flush them down the loo at home? I do, even though I have read you really shouldn't because it could cause a blockage.

 

[realhousewivewannabe]

Musicians give me the worst ick I’ve dated two who practically shagged their guitars and thought they could sing and one who had DJ DECKS and would sent me mixes.

Haha I find DJs so sexy omg
