What absolutely ridiculous and inconsequential things have put you off a partner?

[InstrumentsofTorture]

I don't mean completely acceptable reasons like poor hygiene, lying, flakiness etc. I mean things that the poor other person could not possibly have anticipated would mean the end of their relationship.

For me it was many years ago when I finally finally got together with a lad I'd had a crush on for about 3 years. About 2 months after we started seeing each other he invited me to his house. Which is where he committed the unforgivable sin of picking up a broom and sweeping the kitchen floor.

That was it. 3 years of obsessing over him and, just like that, a bloody sweeping brush came between us.

There is a list online and the funniest I’ve seen was “Used a tiny spoon to taste an icecream”

😁

I saw his flip flops in the cupboard.

Can't stop laughing! 😂

He ordered a fruity cider and was acting drunk after a few sips

😂😂😂

He told a story about getting molested by an octopus (on holiday).

He actively put woodchip on the walls in his house.

He came round my house and put the football on tv as his team were playing. That was bad enough but when his team scored he leapt up off the sofa and shouted "yesss!!!!!" so fucking aggressively and loudly I nearly shat myself. I dumped him a couple of days later.

Went on a date with a guy who apparently owned and worked on a yacht. Was sat there the entire date listening to him brag about it and show me photos. I told him I really didn't care, and you can't own and work on a yacht. Surely you own the yacht and then live on it. I walked out of the date.

Anyway, found out a few weeks later he had photoshopped himself into the pictures.

Loving this thread!

Omg I’m lying in bed wheezing so hard with laughter the bed is shaking. I’m trying to be quiet so as not to wake DH. It’s the specificity of the mince
pie circumference that’s tickling me
most I think.

and somehow made the bouquet look like him This just made me snort with laughter.

On our second date we went for a walk in a local park, then he suddenly stopped in the middle of the path, stood in front of me with his arms out like an airplane then gave me a very dramatic hug and said he loved me.

I did that to a tree once, when I had dreadlocks.

My ex DP used to call me snuggle bunny and would often ask if we wanted 'sexy time' tonight. Couldn't stand it anymore.

Some of these are downright hilarious 😂😂
I don’t have many, but I was chatting to a guy online, then suggested we have a phone call. As soon as he picked up and said, “hello,” my jaw dropped into my neck, eyes wide, and I was immediately put off. I don’t know what it was about the way he said “hello,” it just sounded too off-putting. I never contacted him again, and ignored him thereon.

My very first bf at school. He had the most gorgeous thick long shiny hair (it was the 70s). I expected it to be soft and silky. It wasn’t it was coarse and harsh. After weeks of liking him, planning how to talk to him, and all that teenage crap, I dumped him after a week.

Met a guy while I was working in a pub , he became a regular so I chatted with him a bit.
We agree to go on a date , we met in "my' pub with the plan to have one drink and go for a meal.
He turned up having already been drinking and was acting like a hyper 5 Yr old.
He decided to have a game of pool with another local guy and literally ran around the table to take each shot hitting the balls so hard they flew off the table several times.
I could kind of understand it if he was a teenager but he was in his mid /late 30s.
We did not go for a meal !

Another guy , we were at a Chinese restaurant, he asked the waiter if he could have a round of bread to mop up his sweet and sour sauce.

This is my ick for my husband. He's only got into football in the past year so had to seen it before. When his team scores, he does this 'yesss' and arm punch and i have to leave the room. It makes me physically cringe.

Two dates with separate guys spring to mind, but both have a car theme ...

1. one picked me up from my house. His car was covered in stickers!!!!!

2. the other drove us down the road. We came to some width restrictions on a relatively busy road that myself and other road users would simply drive between. He stopped the car at them, wound down the window and stuck his head out whilst driving VERY slowly through them to ensure he could get through OK. A number of cars behind had to wait for him.

Wore a shirt with the collar turned up. Even now I hate this look!

Years ago I went back to this guy's house who I'd had dates with. He was good looking and seemed quite a sophisticated, professional person. It turned out he lived with parents but they were away at the time. His bedroom had David Beckham posters all over the walls. His door had a lifesize David Beckham kicking a ball, that he had taken the care to cut around. Then when we had sex ( which was awful) he begged to do it without the condom. "Please just a couple of pumps".

In my teens I had a boyfriend whose eyes kind of clicked when he blinked. I have realised that mine sometimes does the same when I'm really tired, but back then it just completely made me go off him.
