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)

People who say secketary instead of SecREtary.

Secketary of state - looking at you Kier Starmer.

Sorry I couldn't edit my post but also People who knock stuff down in shops and walk on by... YES I SEEN YOU PICK IT UP

When people sit babies on tables - nope! I have to say something, minging as hell!

Also fake eyelashes in the daytime with a casual outfit. Noooo!

People using the verb ' source' when they just mean 'buy'. In fact people using any word they don't really know the meaning of, such as ' literally', that's always good for a laugh though.
People wearing things that really don't suit them or make them look awful, just because they see others wearing whatever. Why don't their loved ones tell them?
People being so totally up themselves all the time on social media, showing off, pouting, dancing around half naked or suchlike - just stop it. No I don't follow anyone like this but they pop up nevertheless.
And most of the above.

and
artitek instead of architect.

Kids in hairdressers?? Where would you suggest they get a haircut?

It happens to me too, I’m in the same situation as you but the Americans copy my accent. I find that people don’t always even notice they’re mimicking it. I find it’s usually over-pronouncing (for them, and we’re in the South!) the Ts when they repeat what I’ve said. Usually something like ‘butter’.

DH has a really (gorgeous) heavy drawl and actually hates it more than I do when someone copies my accent. He told someone off for it just last night!

Dressing up companion animals in stupid clothes for laughs. They're not fucking toys 🙄

Had to think then went for first thing that came to mind.
People adding likes & hearts & eg you look beautiful comments on Facebook posts to people they've never met just because they know a friend or relative of a mutal
FB friend /relative
Just WHY! 🤦‍♀️
You've never even met them!

I’ve seen a kid fall off a shopping trolley. Poor child, I don’t know what happened to her in the end but she her nose started bleeding. It still freaks me out and I get shivers if I see kids in shopping trolleys.

People who say secketary instead of SecREtary.
Secketary of state - looking at you Kier Starmer.
and
artitek instead of architect.

And "sikth" instead of "sixth". Loads of news reporters etc do that now.

An old one but still relevant. People who write of instead of have. Eg I could of instead of I could have
Argghhh!!

Middle management telling me they pay my wages.

Anyone who says this to a public sector worker is an arse.

Perfectly normal to say this where I live.
How else would you ask for something?

People who post comments like this on MN

People saying 'Yes I seen you....!' 😬

Describing furniture or clothes as ‘pieces’ lol.

And an ignorant arse at that. I'm in a public sector organisation and less than 2% of our income comes from tax and I think all of that is ring fenced for specific purposes (and none is spent on paying salaries)

Perhaps they’re saying ‘should’ve’ which sounds like should of 😂😂😂

Whispering - I will push you down the stairs and not have a single regret and when I get my day in court the judge will applaud me and dismiss the case

And by extension... people giving their kid a bag of crisps to eat as they shop and then paying for the empty bag at the till. Feed them before you come out!

Also... a former bf pronouncing it 'clitORis'. I don't think my foof has ever snapped shut so fast.

Agreed 🤢

Someone said we should meet up for a 'cuppa'. I realised we never would. I know it's completely unreasonable but the idea of a 'cuppa' is such an awful thing. And I don't know why.
