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.

Oh alright then. Bought me flowers that I felt had stems that were too long. They looked out of proportion with the bouquet and somehow made the bouquet look like him.

Flash.

Brilliant! What an absolute bastard. 💐

A lovely sweet guy I once dated stated that he didn't understand Lord of the Rings. It killed it for me.

This has proper cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@bloodyeffinnora that would do it for me too!

Talking to my friends about this on WhatsApp. My friend has a great contender:

He used a leather bookmark.

🤣

Is it wrong to say I'd have been quite impressed by this?

That reminds me of the Man Hands episode of Seinfeld!

Mine is on very thin ice at the moment for sending too many selfies 🤮

I actually stopped seeing my now husband after a couple of dates, because he wore red shoes! He also had a really over the top Toni and Guy haircut, and he just looked like he thought way too much about his appearance.

Anyway, he wormed his way in by meeting up with me as 'just friends' a few times, and now we're married, and he makes very little effort whatsoever with his appearance now, thank goodness! 🤣

@CrikeyMajikey are you SURE you didn’t chew the table mat????

I knew it was unfair. But standing there together he and the flowers somehow showed each other up. It made me realise his legs were too long and choosing long-legged flowers seemed somehow like an act of self adulation.

Wore a dinner jacket with jeans.
Ate with his fingers
Sat on a chair at a restaurant the wrong was round
All different men

OMG I'm dead 😂

He said 'would of' and vis and vat. Had to go.

Urgh meant to quote!

You have no idea?

That's not very nice. Some people can't help their speech impediments

Uurrgghhh. This would have done for me too. Picking coins out of a little tray purse 🙄

Ginormous adams apple. Couldnt take my eyes off it.

Scraping at a yoghurt pot as if it was crack cocaine. Still can't abide anyone scraping at pots.

At the end of a meal, when asked if he wanted any more said - thank you I have had sufficient. Still gives me the ick.

I have a problem with them. Its kind of like a neck testicle.
