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)

@Tahlullah I think you missed the point of this thread! It's supposed to light hearted you know... you sound too serious for your own good!

This kind of thread is pointless. There’s those who are supposing it’s ‘lighthearted’ but people comment personal things that make them cringe. Then there’s always a load of people getting offended about the things others are posting…

Because I want to put my FOOD shopping in there!!

The absolute fucking cunts who say 'fed up of' when they mean 'fed up with'. Just fucking stop it now.

“Amazing!” —
Shop assistants who say “amazing!” when all you’ve done is present your debit card, or told them that yes you do have your own bag.

Receptionists etc who ask if you can tell them your address and then say “amazing!” when you do.
It sounds so patronising! Almost like “I can’t believe that you, a person over 40, have managed to remember your address - clever girl!”

People who discover they are doing things people find cringey, are horrified but try and argue that it’s not.

people posting quotes attributed to historical figures that are frankly ridiculous like

"value the woman you love" said by Henry the 8th

people posting cheesy memes

people forwarding or posting warnings like don't take paracetamol - it has been revealed that big pharma lace them with cocaine etc.

The Oxford English Dictionary (1st edition) states: "The name of the letter, now jay, was formerly jy, rhyming with I, and corresponding to French ji; this is still common in Scotland and elsewhere."14 Jan 2023

oh and people posting vague posts about how they are not OK and waiting for the those "are you OK hon?" posts to come rolling in...

Aye, because nobody in the world has mobility issues and everyone is as fit and able as everyone else 🙄

I don’t think there is an alternative- met my bf on bumble so not saying online dating is bad far from it! Great way to meet people!

It’s just the profile writing is super cringe!

Folk from the west of Scotland who go
to Glasgow Uni and develop a Kelvinside accent. People who caption instagram posts “with this one”

@maddiemookins16mum I see your point. I am guilty of this though. have health issues so known to collapse if blood sugar low or dehydrated, so on occasion pick up a sugary drink if I am really struggling. obviously there will be diabetics and similar who also have a similar problem....

Never using a knife, just a fork
If using a knife, holding it like a pencil and thinking it is genteel
Mispronunciation of simple words, such as 'the' and 'to' before vowel sounds
Arguing with someone who knows what they're talking about
Answering questions with 'So....'

👏🏻

People posting naff quotes on fb or insta to get attention.
People referring to supermarkets as Tescos...Asdas...Icelands etc.....makes them sound so thick.

Talk me through 'seagull'!!

People using the word 'personally' unnecessarily. "I personally think...". There is no other way to think! And the rise of the word 'criminality' in the media. Criminality? What's wrong with the word 'crime'? And people who use multiple exclamation marks!!!!!!

Shopping trolleys are for shopping, the clue is in the name.

When people either online or in person post about their problems or ask for advice then proceed to ignore all advice and continue to moan about the never changing problem.

”Wait is there a different way to pronounce the letter J”

Yes, apparently some people pronounce it Jay.

One of my bosses who says 'Now Jellykat' and pauses... before giving me some mundane info i already know, purely to make himself feel important.

People who moan about being skint, when you know they're actually secretly loaded (and you ARE skint)

You've thought about this a lot, haven't you?

Yes, women who make judgements on other women for shaving/not shaving legs, wearing/not wearing make-up, dying/not dying their hair, if they have botox/surgery/don't care. As if we don't get judged enough without them tagging along to tell us what their version of the correct female code of conduct is! Anyone who does this and thinks they are a feminist really annoys me.

What's wrong with this ?
Are you serious.
It's all about common and respectful decency.
