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)

White teenagers doing rapper hand signs and speaking in Jamaican patois.

Not an exhaustive list…

people having loud phone conversations (gives me the rage)

should of/would of - arghhh!!

’the boy done good’/fam/famalam/holibobs/‘this one’/making memories

gender reveal parties

Men who wear tight trousers
Men who wear tight trousers with no socks (double ick).
People who say, living my best life.
Huge, fake lips.
Plucked eyebrows on men.

White but obvious lies. The type of shit people pedal out when they are calling in sick or cancelling plans. My arse clinches in embarrassment and irritation when I come across it. Lazy bastards taking others for fools.

Illness bores. If they're not talking about their own minor ailments such as 'stuffed with the cold' or 'thumping headache', it's doctors appointments and hospital visits. They will even describe someone else's...often a person who is a stranger to you. I don't want to spend my 'break' listening to the ins and outs of your mil's leg ulcer, Kerry. Jesus.

People who want to tell you about their dream last night. How self-absorbed can you be? No thanks.

One of my former colleagues had a boastful profile which made out she was single-handedly responsible for a large project.

Her boss obviously saw it and made her edit her profile to say that the project had been in development for two years before she joined the company, but that she was part of the team helping with the final launch. Cringe.

Men in flip flops. Huge ugly feet, hairy toes, manky toenails.

People who tell you to 'enjoy every minute!!!!' when you have a baby

And the Scottish 🙋🏼‍♀️ how does hat sound “ha” or “ai” 🎣 😂 but that’s defo an accent thing and no one in Glasgow is pronouncing it as aitch

Men dancing. Cringe.

Middle class parents who explain the jobs of working class workers to their dc while standing in front of said working class person doing the job

When small DC is just calming from a tantrum that I have successfully de escalated in the middle of a shop and someone approaches and says oh what’s the matter which retriggers said tantrum!!!

It could be the start of a long list though!

People talking loudly through every step of what they do and their child does.
(volume 60) ”ooh Frankie did you see mummy take a bite”
”ooh Frankie are you looking because you want a bite”
”ooh Frankie you are such a good eater”
”ooh Frankie did you just say I was too?”
“yes you did Frankie, let’s call granny to tell her what you said that was so funny, you’re so clever” (volume 60)

Your child is a month old and hasn’t said anything shut the fuck up so I can have my burger and coffee in peace.

Also “I know that’s him 39 months now” no that’s him turned 4 last month, stop that right now 😂😂

They might be diabetic and need food immediately.

They might come down with a migraine mid-shop and use the juice to take pain relief immediately.

I had a 65 year old colleague who wore Jack wills hoodies- mutton at it’s finest.

Good job they're not in a library then

Wish this alarm was real!

WHAT??? That’s so creepy talking about her child like that 😰

People putting "And just like that..:" on their social media when referring to "this one" turning 18 or whatever.

‘Feeling blessed’ the accent that has a k at the end of an ‘ing’ like marketingk or ahoppingk ‘I have a terrible accent too but the ing’k drives me nuts. Facebook posts like ‘to my amazing hubby on Father’s Day blah blah blah’ said hubby isn’t actually on Facebook and is sitting on the couch right next to you so who is that post for… also anyone who does this who is triggered enough to be annoyed at me for saying any of this 😂

I love it in late pregnancy with terribly insomnia and you get “sleep whilst you can!” With a knowing chuckle. Or when you’re describing a particularly tough moment of parenting “just you wait!” Wink wink.

@VitoCorleoneOfMNMafia
Why are you arguing and being snippy? It's a light-hearted letting off steam thread, not a challenge. There are countless incidences we all misconstrue...even you. Relax.

People/YouTubers who say something really easy to understand and then say
“if that makes sense?”
😩

What's wrong with that?

@Shadowsindarkplaces

Piece of cod 😂

That's priceless

The people who say "miss-CHEE-VEE- uss" then bitch about some friend or acquaintance who (correctly!!) pronounces it.

Also: Jaiy for "j", yoh-grrt for yoghurt, aitch for H, etc. Its not the accent, its the insistence that only their accent is right.

See also: caahstle, baaahth, etc

Thoigh "saaangwich" is always wrong, obv.
