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)

Imagine feeling too embarrassed to eat a delicious ice cream on a hot summers day.....

I cringe at how sad that life must be!

Wow love. With the greatest of respect etc etc, but you have serious issues!

people use the loo they way they want to. I’m not going to wait until 2 cubicles are free so there can be a space! I’ve got a queue behind me and a plane to catch!

People wee, poo and fart in the loo. It’s biological and nobody judges them at all, except if they leave behind a mess. Just get on with whatever you’re doing and leave others to do the same.

Its light-hearted.....! Not everything has to be so deep.

WTAF?

Men over 25 who describe themselves as a 'lad'

I...wasnt on holiday.

People who say ‘hubby’.
Ugg boots. They look like shit.
People who can turn every conversation around to it being about them. I just wonder if they can actually hear what they’re saying

It’s been mentioned, but anyone talking or posting about their partner or children using either of the terms below:

’This one’
’The boy’
’Bump’

Sickening…not even sure why.

People that ask you if they like their tattoos and then tell you all about them.

People that refer to women as ladies or girls. Usually men but sometimes women.

Many of the men on mumsnet.

People that shoehorn information into conversation or posts on here, like their salary or weight or size of their house.

I am a 53 year old with a North face brooklyn parka it's warm, it's waterproof never knew it was a chav brand. I dont care. I like the way the hood gathers around yr face!! I want another nf coat, maybe next year.

People using over-flowery language because they think it makes them sound clever or more interesting. It doesn’t. People do it on here, especially with anything food-related. “This Nigella recipe makes delicious cookies, but I add just the smallest pinch of nutmeg. That’s what transforms them into tiny pieces of heaven just waiting to send your tastebuds into raptures”. Just eat the fucking biscuit!

People commenting on very unflattering social media photos with “You look amazing” or “gorgeous hun”. I mean, I know no one is actually going to say “Christ, you look like two miles of bad road”, but come on - just push the like button instead of telling blatant lies.

The little shrug emoji. I just know the people who use it are the kind I’d throw myself down a well to avoid.

You sound just lovely

People that ask you if they like their tattoos and then tell you all about them.

A work colleague once insisted on telling a group of us at lunch the deep meanings behind all his tattoos. When he got to the last one he said, “I’m not ready to tell people what this one means yet. For now, that’s just for me. The time will come.”

I nearly puked into my pasta.

@AInightingale It's called Americano because that's how Americans usually like to drink it 😆

Also re: Macchiato, Frappuccino etc, have you ever heard of Italian?! 🇮🇹

People that write ‘Happy heavenly birthday.......’ type posts on social media.

People that wish their partners happy birthday on social media. Just tell them in real life.

I used to share an office with a Mexican guy who made the most amazing guacamole so I now pronounce it as Wacamole, I get odd looks.

Yeah it makes me think of Peri-anal! 😆

Forgot to add: the phrase “passed away” or, worse, simply “passed”. It’s both overly twee and also a bit airy fairy, as if it’s simply a move to another stage of our great ethereal journey. What’s wrong with “died”?

So a vodka lime & soda is for kids is it?!

It's combination of having a backpack and then taking a water bottle and then doing the sippy thing. Specifically on public transport.

On a hike for example, I can understand a grown man having a backpack and stopping to drink water. But still prefer it not to be a sippy bottle thing.

Gives me the ick. It is unreasonable and I'm not defending it!

I agree. I can't bear it when people can't just say 'died'.

What is wrong with adults drinking squash? My daily drink choices are either tea or summer fruits squash 🤔

People who post they're in hospital, bonus points for a picture of their hand/wrist or feet curled up in the hospital bed, not saying why they're there. "PM me babes" Why not just privately message the people you want to know and tell them
