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)

I hate the trend for social media shaming, filming fat women wearing leggings or skimpy tops or shaming women for "being Karens." There is just no need for videoing it and then sharing on social media.

People instagramming their food. I can understand when it's fancy cakes that look like a work of art, but when it's just a plate of bangers and mash, however beautifully presented, that's just daft.

Chester Draws, excaped, expresso etc

Also people who say things like needs fed, instead of needs to be fed or needs feeding.

Similarly, ‘ it ticks all the boxes’

Have you never heard of colloquialisms?

The phrase ‘Just own it’ /‘own it’ - Don’t know why but I want to slap anyone who says it.

The phrase ‘I can’t’. As in reply to something they don’t like or find disgusting etc.

The phrase ‘It is what it is’

Men in long ill-fitting, baggy cargo shorts with short sleeved shirts and sandals. They look like giant, hairy toddlers.

Matching pajamas sets for the whole family. Insta/Facebook photos of family wearing matching pajamas.

putting Christmas tree up at the start of November. Announcing installation in living room of said tree and sending Facebook/insta pics of it.

Facebook pics of ridiculously huge pile of gifts under above tree.

Anyone who sticks their tongue out in photos. X100 in group photos.

Themed Hen/stag party outfits

Wedding photos of the rings, the shoes, a bouquet etc.

Telling people about the plot of a tv show /film they don’t give a shit about.

Americanisms like ‘Can I get’, ‘I’ll get’, ‘gotten’ etc when uttered by a non American person.

Nothing wrong with liking Disney it's when you LIIIIKKKKEEEE Disney that's the issue with micky mouse pj's purses socks shoes bags (and so on) that it's a problem 😄

Yes, I have.

‘Reach/reaching out’ instead of ‘ contact’, and ‘yourself’ instead of ‘you’. I had an email yesterday which managed to combine these! ‘ I tried to reach out to you this afternoon to see how things are with yourself ‘

I like that. 😃 joking.

I used to work near paddy Power offices and they were all young, slim, trendily dressed. Felt like a pervert for noticing.

Lip filler. Looks awful. Ditto the boot-polish eyelashes look. Way to make yourself a caricature.

Seconding "they" when referring to one person whose sex is known (or easily inferred).

Less cringeworthy than anywhere from irritating to extremely annoying and stressful - people who have their televisions/radios on all bloody day with their doors and windows open. I don't want to hear it in my unit, just keep it to yourself!

Dunkers.

People posting literally anything on Facebook or Instagram that isn’t just a nice photo of themselves somewhere interesting. I don’t give a shit about most of the things people post on social media (unless they are a close friend or an extremely talented writer) - just post some cute pics of yourself somewhere nice and shut up about your dead relatives or your anxiety/low self esteem.

Well I would pronounce as haitch and jaiy and I’m not sorry 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂

and know if you get your y fronts in a twist over it I can only laugh about it, don’t come for me unless I called for you 🤣

Are we going to morph into Chester drawers?

Me too, is it marketed to kids? Apart from Ribena..
Vimto is the best and made locally 😋

Are you sure? or you wouldn't be so small minded.

Fucking hell.. Both of these are vile.

The cheese sticks? Genuine question

When people use the word "less" when they mean fewer.

People who share 'outrage' videos or photos online without checking at all that it's what it says it is. I remember once seeing an Islamophobic tweet reading 'This is a GANG of Muslims attacking an INNOCENT man in Copenhagen', and the video is a group of guys dragging a bloke out of a car and beating him up. There's nothing in the video that confirms the attackers are Muslim, that their victim is 'innocent' (for all the watcher knows he could be a total piece of shit) or if it's in Copenhagen or not. Seriously, think for a minute.

Even when I see something I want to believe, I check before I share.

Juice Plus sellers who post about how they're helping other women live their best lives, then boast about how they're able to do the school run because of their business, which essentially makes women who can't do the school run feel shit.

People using the self service checkouts who put all their shopping loose on the bag section then hold up the queue while they pack it instead of scanning it then putting it straight in the bag.

Folk kissing dogs i.e. letting the dog lick their mouth.

People posting videos on facebook of themselves doing exercise.

Pacifically

Americanisms like ‘Can I get’,

Combining with an earlier post about the complicated ordering of coffee these days, I was in a little place in the Peak District a few years ago and a group of Americans came in and proceeded to reel out their coffee orders as though they were in Starbucks, starting with Can I get. At the end the woman behind the counter said to the woman making the drinks They want four coffees, with milk! She then said to the party You go and sit down, I'll get them.
