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)

Do these make you cringe on your behalf or the other people's

@gdaysport i can go one better than that. The girl who left a big poo in the pan and was still doing her hair when I went in for a pee. I flushed it, the log wouldn't go down so I had a wee, flushed it again. Still there. The dirty cow was still outside playing with her hair extensions. Log size of a banana, girl tiny.

People wanting to go over a task in a meeting, taking up an hour of 4-5 people's time, when they could have sent sufficient info in an email.

Feet! 😝

Why don't you get fucked ☺️

As could the rats' and foxes' feet.

Not to mention their urine.

Do Americans say "takeout", surely "to go" is more common?

Put the toddler in your trolley.
Problem solved.

But you don't mind putting your food on top of rats' urine.

Okay.

Since I’m a fully paid-up pedant, people saying e.g. ‘Between you and I…’ or writing e.g. baby’s, family’s, etc. when they mean the plural, not to mention misusing ‘myself’, evidently under the impression that it’s more ‘correct’ or perhaps sounds more intelligent.

I've had my North FaceI Arctic Parka for 13 years now - it is worn for practicality when I'm out with my mutt - nothing showy about it, it's the only thing that convinces me to leave the house.😂

Me too 😆😆😆

On my PGCE we had a lecture from a woman who was some sort of liaison between primary schools and the secondary she worked for.

She put up a powerpoint of the people she worked with:

Teacher's
Pupil's
Parent's

I cringed and thought, I'd never send my child to your school.

Step forward, Angela Rippon, and her "knickers".

People wearing Dry Robes as coats. I was in Devon the other week and it was rife, but fair play, maybe they had just come from the beach. But then I saw one walking down my road in the North West the other day, approx 1.5 hours from the nearest beach. And it was the obligatory camo with pink lining.

Being corrected by serving staff when I request BrusKETTah.
I know that's a personal 'me' thing, but it's still heavy cringe on their behalf.

This one gives me a mini dilemma. Do I say “bru-sketta”, knowing I’ll probably get told, “you mean bru-shetta”, in front of colleagues? Or do I say “bru-shetta” despite believing it’s incorrect?

I have the same dilemma over paella and chorizo. But I give way to the idea that communication rather than being "correct" is the main objective.

This is me 😂. I’m afraid I don’t actually care that people don’t like this. It’s warm, keeps everything dry and mud free on dog walks and it cost a fortune to only be worn a few times a month.

I saw someone wearing one whilst walking her dog round the park the other day in the pouring rain.

1st it made me laugh and then it made me think....she was definitely a lot drier than I was. Mines black though so I think I might get away with it.

Adults drinking fizzy drinks particularly in public and out of a can
Adults eating ice cream ( at home sort of OK but in public massive cringe)

Hen parties.

'Gender reveal' parties.

Baby showers.

Ooh what happens when the toilets are busy and you have to go to the next available one

That's ridiculous.
Ice cream melts, so it has to be consumed at once.

"Just wanted to show you all my Hot chocolate station"

"He's been" with a truck load of photos of the tree with mountains of presents and kids who actually just want to get on with opening their gifts

People who share every single photo out of their camera roll instead of picking a best one.

Men with long fingernails

I feel a bit sorry for you, being so consumed by how things look to others, you sound a bit joyless, eating ice cream is one of life's simple pleasures.
