In hindsight, what gave you the ick? (Lighthearted)

The other day I remembered that ex DH would turn the water r off halfway through showering, and for some reason this gave me a belated ick.
i
s trousers were always too short too.

@Hooverphobe PMSL at the inferior front crawl technique 😆

Went on a date with a guy, he thought he was being all cute and adorable by regularly giving me somewhat exaggerated ‘puppy dog eyes’ in between sentences.

in reality he looked like he was about to do a slow vomit all over the front of himself.

no going forward after that. 🤢

My old boyfriend was too slobbery. When he was on top he would just sort of funnel ALL his saliva into my mouth with his tongue. Actually made me heave.

Oh Jesus stop.

Called his dick Tim. Tim wants a kiss. Tim misses you. Do you want Tim.

Tim was a really big lad, though.

ExDH repeatedly asking “Have you seen my mowbli?” instead of phone. Shudders

Pity Tim was attached to a twat.

”Tim” is worse than “Ralph”!

I had an ex who was pretty well off but from a poorer family. It was a standing joke amongst his friends that he was a bit of a penny pincher (unless spending on something for himself that he was really interested in) and quick to point out if he felt anyone owed him anything. At first this didn't bother me- he'd obviously grown up not having much so why shouldn't he be extra careful now he had some money, right? His parents lived in a small council flat in the same town and didn't have a car so he used to pick his mum up once a week and take her to the supermarket for her 'big shop'. No problems there.

The ick came when I found out that he charged her the same as her taxi fare would be whenever he did this. Even when he was also doing his own shopping at the same time and had to pretty much drive past her house on the way so it didn't even cost him any extra for petrol. His logic was that she'd have to pay for a taxi if he didn't take her so why shouldn't he make the money instead of the taxi driver.

He had 3 Justin timberlake magnets on his fridge as he thought he looked a bit like him (he didn't).
Nope.

VeniVidiWeeWee · 25/11/2022 19:18

Using the "word" ick.

Unless you're 5 years old.

KitchiHuritAngeni · 24/11/2022 12:42

I've literally just ended something before it started because he kept saying "teeties" instead of sweets or sweeties, and kept on 'accidently' rubbing past me and saying "sowwy, hope that didn't turn you on".

No it fucking didn't 🤢

I know I gave an ex the ick (many years ago) because he would be in the throws of whatever he was doing and would try and be all sexy and say "any requests" and I would ALWAYS say something like "can you do boom boom boom by the outhere brothers" or similar, then pissed myself laughing 🤣🤣 killed the mood every time but I couldn't stop myself.

I honk that’s very funny. ☺️😁

My ex had a Him rather than a Tim. "He wants you, he's excited, he's missed you, he likes it when you do that, he needs some attention"

CBAironing · 24/11/2022 13:21

He had feet that pointed outwards like a penguin when he walked. It's really common when you watch people and makes me want to scream just walk properly!!!! His trousers were often too short and his tops to short. He didn't shave his head properly so had longer sections. Bleurgh.

Its usually caused by a medical problem.

Mummysgogetter · 25/11/2022 19:26

My ex used to think it was funny to put his finger in his (very smelly) bellybutton hole and then put it under the dogs nose for him to sniff it 🤮

MrsThimbles · 25/11/2022 19:29

Whichwhatnow · 25/11/2022 14:40

I should mention that the penis calls me 'mummy' on occasion and he once attached toy googly eyes to it. I think he's far more impressed with his cock than I am.

Did he ever draw eyes on the tip of it then cover it with a striped tea towel and say it was baby Jesus fast asleep.

4thdegree · 25/11/2022 19:34

I’ve had plenty of icks but for some reason the one that always comes to mind is being in the kitchen of this man I was having casual sex with and noticing he had these magnetic photo frames (in the shape of a Polaroid border) stuck to his fridge with no photos in them. I have no idea why I was so turned off by that but it ended soon after and the feeling those empty frames gave me was a definite contributing factor! I feel like I almost pitied him for not having friends or something?! Even though he could have had hundreds of friends as far as I knew

chocolatepudandchocolatesauce · 25/11/2022 19:38

@MrsThimbles what medical problem causes someone to walk with their feet outwards? My daughter does it and I'm really conscious, mainly because walking at "10 to 2" is seen as a real turnoff on here, and have asked her to try and train herself to walk "properly" with her feet facing forwards. Should I be doing this or not? I don't want her to be self conscious but also don't want someone getting the ick over how she walks!

ExH used to say, can I tickle your tummy...from the inside (when he wanted sex)
Just fuck off.

WhatsErFace2020 · 25/11/2022 19:49

ExDH just could never seem to be able to do a task without me he’d always have to get me involved and call me by shouting my name musically > example; he couldn’t separate the bin bags and 🎵Saareee-Raaarrrhh🎵 (Not RN) told my new husband this and he now does it to annoy me

Also, same person: he had long little finger nails. 🤢
