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 can't bear people using the word "lady" when they mean "woman". It drives me mad on here. You see it a lot in AIBU.
"AIBU or was this lady rude?"
Then there's a long post all about the "lady" who was a fucking rude pain in the arse usually.
I don't get why people don't just say woman and why is it used so often in posts describing someone who was rude as fuck and behaving like an asshole.

People saying "comdoms", rather than "condoms".

I hate it when people start just about every sentence with 'so'.

Or pronouncing the "sh" in "schedule".

I agree, This is definitely very entertaining 😂

All the germs from their are now in the trolley

People who stand on the moving walkway at airports.

Isn't that part of the point of it? So it's stand on one side and walk on the other, like an escalator?

People who start a sentence with “So…”

And people putting their full make up on the busy commuter train. Why not get up a few minutes earlier and do it at home in private? Really gross.

I actually have been that starving before, and started seeing stars. Also suffer with very random migraines that hit on a level 10 with little warning. Sometimes I do need to neck a bottle of water and something carby like crisps so I can make it home.
Likely that there are plenty of others who have had to do it too at some unfortunate point.

Ahahah, I’m guilty of this, rarely, but it’s happened before 🤣I’ve never done it sat next to someone though. I’d usually be on my own on the train luckily.

I’m awful at waking up early in the mornings sometimes, and like to dress up 😭

I would never say this is “the husband”, so absolutely hated it when I was introduced as “the wife.” What’s wrong with saying this is Whoopy, or this is my wife Whoopy. 🤬

Yes to all of these!
And… I was in a restaurant with 2 friends recently, both started using dental floss - at the table, while I was still eating! 🤮

Saying could of/should of and spelling Separate wrong, so silly I know but I’m decided if I see or hear that!

I'm guessing you've never been in a supermarket warehouse before

Amen!

Anyone else reading this and wishing they didn’t exist as they must be “so cringe” all the time? 🤣

For some inexplicable reason I can’t stand the phrase “hidden gems”. Any time I see a fb post with someone asking for recommendations using this phrase I shudder. Hate it.

Also, when people say shutter instead of shudder! I’ve seen this a few times lately….

People who say they “rocked” something when they could say they “wore” it... makes me cringe for them trying so hard to be more interesting than they are.

Performance parenting

Does it count when other people say it to you? I wore something a little unusual to an event recently and several people told me I "rocked" it. I did, obviously.

“Whistling
People talking loudly on their phones
Kids in hairdressers/nail salons etc”

😂 where else do we take kids for hair cuts other than the hairdresser? 🤦‍♀️

Ha ha, no you are fine, but I would’ve edged away slowly

There's two ways to say it, the way you suggest is the American way and the other way is UK way. Living in the UK, I prefer the opposite way to you. There's at least one other word with similar variation. I'll always prefer the version that originated where I live

Jeremy Vine, and absolutely everything he does on his Channel 5 morning programme.

I'm cringing on realising we're a nation of cringers
