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 ‘brought’ instead of ‘bought’.

My friend writes 'his doing well' or 'he forgot he's jumper' 😭😭

@EverythingYouDoIsaBalloon my two toddlers are always suitably fed and watered before a supermarket trip and invariably become ravenous for whatever snacks enter the trolley.

It's either the crisps or a mental breakdown on my part.

Ha ha this made me giggle and reminded me of when I saw a man getting off the train and wheeling a really tiny suitcase to the carpark. It just so funny somehow that he couldn’t just carry it.

And the way people always say 'a nice cup of tea'. They're not likely to have made themselves a horrible cup of tea, are they?

Re 'cuppa', though... I just flashed back to 1970s milk ads and remembered 'pinta'. Even worse.

How are they…supposed to…use the drill……?

People either talking on their phones in the lunch room at work or worse still watching a film etc with the sound turned up. No I don't can't to listen to your conversation whether it's in English or not and non I don't want to hear your film or preaching session that you're watching. I want to eat my lunch in peace. Also I don't want to smell your smellly lunch you've just microwaved.

People who show up to professional meetings with the type of water bottle that resembles a giant toddler tippy cup with a spout. What's wrong with a glass of water? And do you really need to drink 3 litres of water in the next hour? Surely it's more pleasant to get a glass of fresh water every now and then?

@SM4713

HAHA really? Or do you knock stuff over 😁

@AngryBirdsNoMore

Do they not charge it before work? I've always found it quite rude lol!

I’m Scottish and I say skedule as do most of my colleagues.

"Can you lend me".

Pupils used to say to me Miss, can I lend a ruler? Sometimes I would reply, 'By all means, to who do you wish to lend it? Please note the use of 'whom' and the lack of a preposition at the end of the sentence!'

People who talk about, 'sleeps', 'treats', 'pampering'.

Word “babe” deffo makes me cringe, especially guys you barely know on dating apps, using words like “hun,” and “babe.” Or when guys use “x” too early on. Eurghhh

Those super cheesy pep talks on the work group chat, that hype everything and everyone up.

People who equate pets to babies/children

Typing “loose,” when actually they mean “lose.” I’m over that now, but used to really bug me at first. Otherwise, I don’t care for much errors, but hated that one.

Parents who make their toddlers/children respond and repeat things in an overly polite way to show they have manners. They can teach them in their own time, as I’m really not judging young children like that!

Erm… that’s how it’s pronounced.

People who post about things that make them cringe, I mean why??

While we’re on the subject of things that are dangerous that quite a lot of parents do, here’s mine; letting your child continue to wear their scooter/bike helmet when playing in a playground. A paramedic at a child safety talk I went to explained it’s a hanging risk. An awful thing to think about, but once you’ve had it explained to you by someone who has had professional dealings with the possible consequences, you don’t do it again.

Maybe you wouldn’t all be so grumpy if your parents had plonked you in a trolley, given you a packet of crisps and chatted to you as a child.

As someone who has worked in nice, expensive kitchens, if toddler shoes touching your packaged food is upsetting, don’t ever eat in a restaurant 😬

It's stil Argghhh!, I should have so please please stop this this should OF, 🤢

The @Hamsterinaball

mot all tools are battery operated, many are mains supply.

it has never occurred to me that a workman was being cheeky plugging in a tool they need, no. Not even if they're charging batteries.

you pay a lot for their labour, the pennies it costs to run their tools is negligible

Adults who use the word foof for female gentalia!

🤦‍♀️🤣

P Diddy or ‘Love’ on Graham Norton made me cringe so much my skin turned inside out.

Ex who decided that the rest of the world was wrong on this one. It actually came up during the break up row.

Spaghetti Bolognese (with the silent G)

Or, Spag bol.

Definitely NOT Spag Bowl.

I once accidentally typed ‘foof’ instead of ‘food’ in a work email. There were many recipients and it became widely known office lore. It was 10+ years ago and I’m still cringing now…
