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)

Crocs make me cringe, like no I'm even seeing grown ass men wearing them out and about now 🤮.

Talking in a baby voice when you are an adult to other adults

bubbles
fizz
nibbles

North Face / Canada Goose / Creed, or any other nouveau-chav brand

The women in the queue in M&S café who look shocked when they're asked to pay, and start rooting for the purse inside the small bag inside the big bag, then try to find the exact coins.

Thongs I can see. They were originally designed for dancers to wear under costumes. A nice big pair of Bridgets hold the bottom in better. However in the right size!
It doesn't make me cringe, I'm just fascinated by all the blokes learing on the tube.

Grown ups referring to their DPs as 'mummy & daddy'.
People boasting about how much they are spending on Christmas presents/ holidays/ cars etc especially in the company of people who they know don't have a lot of money.
SM posts telling your DC/DH how much your love them and proud you are of them - especially if they are not even on FB so they will never see the post. Maybe just tell them in person.

Oh, I have a list

People who do not observe the 'One cubicle space' and go right next to you in a public bathroom. Here me fart? Stay one apart.
When I need to do an explosive IBS poo and I hear the 'thunk' of a bag by the sink of someone who wants to redo their make up. Face of a gnome? Do your make up at home.
When people try to carry on a conversation once I have entered a cubicle. Hear me unzip, button your lip.

This habit people now have of saying 'the floor' instead of 'the ground'. 'He was chasing the other man up the road and then next thing he's lying on the floor.' Floors are in buildings, the pavement, grass, or whatever is not the floor. Unless it's a forest floor. Anyway...

Can someone explain the J / Jaiy difference? I'm reading them the same .. oh no, am I one of the people??

People saying self love

I agree with the principle but I hear self love and I think masturbation

People who say "I was laying on the bed".
No. You were "lying" on the bed.

You're presumably not a hen.

"Veg" is an awful contraction.

People posting passive aggressive memes on Facebook to try and force a reaction. A friend has a distant relationship with one of her adult children, and often posts obviously barbed/self pitying memes aimed at her dd. Recent ones along the lines of 'a mother's lot is to wait for her children...' and 'no one can tell from the smile on my face i'm crying inside'. It's FB, not a counselling session.

@Maelil01 - you’re so wrong. Go and look in a dictionary!

Canada Goose? I go to the nordics every winter and trust me it’s needed, a lot of people who live in the nordics during winter wear them, They are a necessity and we aren’t “chavs”

Wearing dry robes as coats.

I'm going to admit I have done the 'eating as I go round the supermarket' thing

Same here. I used to love eating spam as I went round with my trolley.
There was often a child standing in the trolley, too, so I get extra points for annoying certain MNetters.

I know now im causing very low amounts of cringe. Phew. I do say haitch because I'm Irish, but if British people say lore and awduh instead of law and order, I couldn't care less. Living on a knife edge is tiring!

Somebody said she hated watching dogs lick humans and I agree there! I watched a dog owner let her dogs lick her and I could not button it. I said "you'll be off sick next week" and " a round of shots, listerine!" but she didn't hear me as kissing her dog was her entire focus. Yuck.

That's another pet hate
Not quoting previous posts, so subsequent readers have no idea what you're on about.

I'm not going to trawl back several pages to find out what you mean.

Just use the quote function.
Sometimes there are whole threads where the OP randomly posts, supposedly answering other posters but not quoting them, so what they say makes no sense.

Did you read the rest of the post?

I doubt it happens often enough to make them “deeply unhappy” 😆

You should see what goes on to trollies when they're stored in a warehouse..............

But most of these aren’t cringe, they are just things you don’t like.

Well mine make me cringe

People saying
Hubby
Nom
Yummy
Tummy
Poorly
Cosy
Hun

As well as hating the words, I also cringe and feel embarrassed for the person using those words.

Also anyone who is not American using American terms

Pissed
Diaper
Parking lot
Takeout

Cringey

The trolley thing definitely makes me cringe, not just because of the hygiene but also the danger element of it.
