Things people do that make you cringe?

[Cleanfreshsheets]

People posting photos of their holiday on social media with a caption like “this is how my Monday morning is looking”. Like calm down Joanne, you’ll be back in the office by next Monday.

Middle management telling me they pay my wages.

People thinking that are different and edgy because they wear Dr Martens (I do still love the boots though)

Wow apparently I do lots of cringeworthy things.

I wear Docs, I say fab and super unironically, I drink squash. And I could be persuaded to give those things up but my dog gives me kisses and that is a hill I'm willing to die on.

Like posting a post like this, like!

@Rosebel I think the previous poster meant kids in those places whilst the adult is having their hair done etc

Even in a library, you won't get chucked out for taking pain relief with a drink, as long as it has a replaceable lid.

My DH says Jaiy, he's Glaswegian and to him he is absolutely right, I'm from Devon so to me he's totally wrong, took a while to get used to though

Why pick up on me when other people are also challenging posts?

I would also add the Antipodean Interrogative, raising one's voice at the end of a normal sentence as should only happen at the end of a question. Neighbours had a lot to answer for.

Yeah, much better to say ‘spa- hetti’ 😂

SM4713 superb!

I particularly hate:
holibobs
hubby
cubs (kids)

My mother also talks with her mouth full and we have to take it in turns to sit opposite her.

When people are talking about their wife/husband/partner anx they call them 'my other half'
Other half of what?
Everyone is a full person in their own right-i don't know why it winds me up

'My G'
Eh?what does it even mean?

My dc all have dogs and they call themselves 'mummy' or 'daddy' when talking about the dogs
If they really where the dogs mummy or daddy,then they'd be the talk of harley street

My point was that the library doesn't have shelves and shelves of food and drink to grab.

Guess if you're in a library you just have to fall into a diabetic coma and die.

Which of these pacificly bothers you the most?

#makingmemories

Can you not just enjoy whatever you’re doing for what it is? We’re all making memories all
the time, just some are better than others, and I just find it a bit cringe / sad really that they’re doing whatever they’re doing to have a memory of doing it.

Oh and pouty trying to make themselves look sexy selfies!!! I hate those!!! If you think you look good get someone to take a proper photo, a phone in your face or a filtered pout looks shite people stop it!!!!

I love the crime reports where a person whose various pouting pics from social media bear no resemblance to the mug shots taken when they were arrested!

Haitch

Anyone that says "this one" "moon and back", "hollibobs" or "sleeps until.."

I laughed out loud.

The grocers' apostrophe: "potato's", "tomato's", "apple's", etc.

"It's" when a possessive pronoun was intended. "It's raining" is a contraction of "it is raining" and is correct. "The car failed it's MOT" is wrong, use "its".

People dressing their pets up. Just no.

Yes absolutely disgusting and animals on kitchen work surfaces where food is being prepared

@GinBlossom94 Im West coast, so we should unite against the weegies.

The strangers who say 'Hands full!' with a cheery smile when you're out with two/three children under the age of four.

People who participate in "trends" on social media mainly because they have read on social media that it is a trend.

Some years ago there was a social experiment where they put "wise sayings" generated by AI on Facebook to see how many people would share them even though the sayings were utter nonsense. The study concluded that people who shared the sayings were both dim and pretentious. One of my SILs shared so many of them that I worried she might have had a stroke. " Honey, your sister is sharing weird quotes on Facebook again. Can't you get her to see a doctor? I think something is really wrong with her. None of this makes any sense". My husband correctly assumed that she was just being both stupid and attention seeking. Again.

Ah well. She does have a habit of being cringy:Tried to get my mum to look after her kid once a week because my parents looked after my kids and my niece and nephews once a week and so it was only fair. She is my husband's sister. So her kid is not their grandchild. Tried to turn some friends' party into a sales party à la Tupperware without asking first. Befriended some of my friends just to borrow their car. Dumped them the second she got a car of her own. She has two kids now and abandoned them some months ago because she " needed to reinvent herself". In theory she is supposed to have the youngest every second weekend but it hasn't happened every time because of reasons.

She is in her late forties but talks and acts like a really stupid teenager.

Oh well. Her moving away and refusing to interact with most of the family might just prevent me from dying from second hand embarrassment.

Well, the diabetic person can nip out to their car for glucose sweets in a library without having to abandon a trolley-load of shopping.

‘Well another wasted day ffs’ posted on Facebook. Explain what you mean or piss off!

People who make loud eating noises to ‘prove’ something tastes good.

People who write ‘ect’.

‘St. Pancreas’.

My mother turning EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION back to herself in front of my friends. And the half hour monologue that follows.

Details of dreams. Nobody needs to hear that. Keep it to yourself.

Loudly sniffing and coughing- it’s like fingernails down a blackboard to me.

Socks and slidders

People that write “Best” as a sign off on emails… Best what? it drives me
irrationally mad everytime I see it… even from my lovely colleague.
