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)

This is stupid 🙄 do you think children suddenly just know things one day without adults ever saying a word?..

Hubby -- or one one particular occasion, husby 🤢

My/the missus! Ick

'You do know...' okay, it's less that it makes me cringe and more that it makes me irrationally angry

Anyone who describes themselves as "blessed". If it comes with a hashtag as well, they must be culled immediately.

@Weloveflowerss she was talking to her baby, which is essential for language development. Why is that bad?

So did you not talk to your baby until they could understand?

People 'smashing' things.

Well done to our Lexi Mae on passing your Stage 1 Swimming, smashed it babe!

My whole world 🌎
My little family 🫶🏻
(I know for a fact you can't be arsed and actually swear at your children)

This one 😍

Hubby treated me 🛍️

Should of, would of, could of

Checking in at a hospital on FB with no explanation prompting a flurry of 'you ok hun' or even worse, posting a picture of your arm with a hospital band and no further explanation

I could go on!

Oh so many, most seem to be social media stuff lol

1. ‘humble’ linkedin brags and people thinking they are on the podium of the oscars with their thank you’s to people for making new role possible etc.

2. when people try to be wannabe influencers and try to ‘subtly’ get their their designer gears in pictures, eg posting picture of their coffee but happen to have a designer hangbag on the table in the shot (all done on purpose)

Babies don't learn how to speak without being spoken to? Don't understand why this is cringe, she would obviously have known her baby wouldn't actually understand fully. I say kind hands to my 7 month old as I peel her vice like gripped hands off my eldest's hair.

people who say fab and hun with no irony.

Food goes in there albeit wrapped…Their shoes could have goodness knows what on.

I had to share a hotel room with a colleague and she priceeded to cut her toenails over the floor.

When someone says 'hubby' or 'the wife'

When people refer to their dogs as their children and more specifically when they are pregnant saying their dog is going to be a big sister or big brother (extra cringe for those who actually buy bibs for their dogs saying big brother or big sister to be)

When someone is passing round the hereos/roses/celebrations in the office around Christmas and someone says "oh I couldn't possibly/that would be far too much after lunch" etc. Makes me think they probably sit at home and scoff a whole tub themselves

Oh so many things. My three for today are:

People who try and impress you by name dropping supposedly unknown bands.

People who come to teams meetings in dressing gowns.

Men who hang around Mumsnet to put women down.

People that eat in the street. Yuck.

DD must have been a bit older than six months (but not much) on the day I heard her babbling away with her dummy in her mouth. I jokingly said, “maybe I could understand you better if you took that dummy out of your mouth”.

DD looked at me and immediately pulled her dummy out. I was pretty shocked. It was several more months before she said anything intelligible, yet she could clearly understand more than I’d realised.

Other extreme, men wearing tatty, grubby joggers with bollocks flapping.

You need to come along to a parkrun if you want to see bollocks flapping! Very common. 🤨

Pronouncing the G in spaghetti bolognese

People who "jump", "grab" and "sling" things. Jump on a bus, grab a coffee, sling things in the oven. Just do it like normal people!

Yes to the hospital pics.

Also she 'learned' me to do it.

Took me slightly too long to realise you weren't getting mad at people saying spa-etti Bolognese !

So you say "spa-hetti"? 😁

How do you pronounce spaghetti without a G?

Anyone (over the age of about 10) describing food as "yummy". Anyone of any age describing it as "yum". I actually feel my spine clench a bit when I hear it.

When people can't understand that their way is not the only way.

THIS! When I go into primark and see all the Disney themed adult clothes I die inside imagining wearing them outside.
