“The Ick”

[Victoria sponge cake]

Men that flash the cash and tell you the price of everything they have or they are wearing. No thanks. When I was about 20 I had a boyfriend who got a loan and bought a very expensive watch. Massively put me off him. Didn’t own a house but got a loan for a watch! Idiot.

A guy I went on a date with told me the trainers he was wearing cost in £900, I repeat, nine HUNDRED English pounds. I was like, is that supposed to impress me you absolute donkey? The guy can’t even drive and spends all his money on trainers, massive put off

That’s exactly it, soooo stupid! Probably borrowed the money off his mum! Ridiculous.

Better than the lad that told me his trainers were knock off and took me into Jd Sports to show me the difference. My mates called him knock off Nige from then on.

ill be honest here I am that girl! I got vans and Gucci shoes fake from turkey and I literally tell everyone who compliments them

In my defence though, they look real and I paid £30 for 3 pairs of vans and Gucci shoes!

To be fair I’d never have known and I didn’t care but my lad mates were mortified.

They are all made in the same factory. Brand names don't give you super powers or make you live longer. All they do is drain your bank.

A wise person will invest that money towards a mortgage, or something more concrete.

I wouldn't be bothered about the knock offs or him saying anything, but I would draw the line at going to jd to see the difference

Haha I wish! Buying knock-offs supports crime which directly impacts the designers, also funds terrorism and gang activity. I know no one ever buys these goods maliciously but still.

I get The Ick when someone uses a phrase in the wrong context thinking they’re being hilarious and clever but they just come across as totally thick.

recent example on FB post: “I’m painting my fence today, what a time to be alive!”

I asked my husband what his icks are, I've paraphrased them:

- Girls that constantly take selfies, or all him to take pictures of them
- pouting
- Fake eyelashes
- Forever victims (when nothing is ever their fault, someone is always doing it to them)
- Expecting to be eaten out, but having an Amazon forest down there (said he once got hair between his teeth and he was too icked to perform)
- Girls that agree with everything he says and have no mind of their own
- Dates that have the pallet of a 5 year old in general. Their plates have no colour variation, they only eat brown or white foods (chicken nuggets, chips, bread, rice, etc)
- fake boobs that look like they are bolted on (he says he'd rather have a natural a-cup over a bolted d-cup)
- girls that can't get out of their heels and go for a hike
- When their stomach is bigger than their boobs and they are not pregnant
-dishonesty

I can pretty much agree with these but also add...
- Crap, cheap tattoos. Not all tattoos because some of them look nice, but the ones which look like some childs scribbling with a biro pen.
- Being into comic books, not a good look when you're approaching 30.
- Chewing with their mouth open. Absolutely hate this and the sound of food sloshing around in their mouth. Extra duck-off-you're-dumped points if you try to talk to me at the same time and spit food over me.
- Laughing like a cackling witch. I am out of there!

Yeah, I guess that'd do for me... LOL

Funding ISIS you! Is your name Shamima by any chance?

I asked my husband what his icks are, I've paraphrased them:

- Girls that only eat a salad in front of their mutual friends/family, then trough a bucket of fried chicken when they get home. (His ex)
- Girls that constantly take selfies, or all him to take pictures of them
- pouting
- Fake eyelashes
- Hoop earrings, or any other large dangly earrings
- Forever victims (when nothing is ever their fault, someone is always doing it to them)
- Using the bathroom with the door open
- Expecting to be eaten out, but having an Amazon forest down there (said he once got hair between his teeth and he was too icked to perform)
- Hairy armpits/legs
- Girls that agree with everything he says and have no mind of their own
- Foot rubbing/toe licking (I can attest to this: he's jumped out of bed before when my foot rubbed his leg)
- (we have this one in common) dates that have the pallet of a 5 year old in general. Their plates have no colour variation, they only eat brown or white foods (chicken nuggets, chips, bread, rice, etc)
- fake boobs that look like they are bolted on (he says he'd rather have a natural a-cup over a bolted d-cup)
- girls that can't get out of their heels and go for a hike
When their stomach is bigger than their boobs and they are not pregnant
- girls that "forget" to take the pill unless he constantly reminds them
-dishonesty

I really like hoop earrings and wear them all the time. Or dangly ones. Good thing I am married

I promise I just wanted cheap trainers cause I’m swanky witch

 

[wotdidijustwatch]

I don’t like hand holding, full stop!

Me neither. My husband walks fast so it would look like he was dragging me along if we held hands

I will never understand when lads have tattoos that are linked to god/religion - classic is only god can judge me. Pictures of angels of some sort which are terrible designs. Like do you even go to church you cav.
Dirty finger nails / bad hygiene
Men that stare at you
Old men that think it’s okay to make physical contact with you.

Saaaame. I'm a theologian and the amount of tit I get for pursuing that particular branch of academics by people who have those tattoos. Like, wut?

I seriously went out with someone who shared the same bath water as his mum! She would get out the bath and shout ‘baths free love’ He was 28 at the time. Honestly I was out of there like a flash

OMG, I think this is the worst I have heard so far

Me too. A swanky witch with her own house because she doesn't waste money!

Haha I wish! Buying knock-offs supports crime which directly impacts the designers, also funds terrorism and gang activity. I know no one ever buys these goods maliciously but still.

"funding terrorism..." brands sell their rejects for next to nothing because there's incorrect stitching or some other minor unforseen error on them. If I'm funding terrorism then the discount shops/ factory outlets I buy them from are funding terrorism. I'm not buying shoes in some dark dodgy street corner, I buy from legit shops!

Very extreme wording on such a nice thread. What a shame to ruin it, but I have to defend someone calling me a terrorist piggy bank! Shame on you.

Lol. I feel like I can't wear mine anymore knowing it gives him the ick. Imagine getting divorced over that, I wish I never asked
