Weird things that make you cringe

[Pizzatrip]

Do you have any odd things that make you cringe?

I find the sound of water being poured into a jug or glass really cringe.. it’s so odd. Water coming out of a tap is fine, but it’s that gluggy noise. My daughter had a relaxing video on YouTube today and it had a stream with some twinkly music over the top.. the bloody stream going over a rock was making a similar gluggy noise and making me cringe 🤣.

Anyone else have anything similar and ridiculous?!

My mega cringe is how infantile adults are nowadays.

Programmes on the TV are narrated as if it is aimed at children. Presenters use sing song voices as if they are speaking to seven year olds and use dumbed down vocabulary or even the wrong words because the correct word is deemed too complicated for the audience. Newspapers do the same thing.

Adverts using cartoons that advertise adult centric products and adverts that don't even try to actually advertise the benefits of their products, just present an infantile advert to try and keep their name to the fore. The current Vaillant advert with the cartoon rabbit is a classic of that. The rabbit even says something like, it's too complicated to explain so here's a carrot. Fucks sake, really?

Adults dressing like children is becoming the norm. Adults behaving like children is becoming the norm.

@WhenWereYouUnderMe I really hate grown-ass, butthurt and bad ass. Mainly because ‘butt’ and ‘ass’ aren’t used here anyway. No point trying to Anglicise them because ‘bumhurt’ and ‘grown-arse’ definitely wouldn’t work either so let’s just leave all of those over the pond where they belong.

I am so glad someone else has noticed that! We're being dumbed down, makes you wonder why?

Am I the only person who can't stand the opening music to The One Show? If I am accidentally still on BBC1 at 7pm and I hear those first few bars I have to immediately mute or pause the screen even before changing channels.

It's the cringeiest music I know. 😒

Me too - I absolutely loathe it! Just awful. The only thing that redeems it even slightly is that scene from the Royle Family when they sing along with it.

Nail files. I hate them. I used to work with someone who would absentmindedly file her nails during the day. It made me feel horrible, no idea why. She wouldn't stop either! I found out she hated the sound of pencils being sharpened so I started doing that every time she filed her nails. We called a truce eventually.

Haha, I do this and I don't know why. The lighter my hair is, the darker my brows are. I did it before big brows became a thing so no idea where I got it from!

I cringe at any non American using American English.

It makes me feel embarrassed for them

I hate the way coconut milk comes out of the tin. You use a spoon to ease the solid bit out, then the rest gushes and plops out . It's weird.

I also hate when couples hold hands throughout a whole show on TV, like Location Location or similar. Makes me want to barf.

They always do this on A Place in the Sun.

Schools. Big comprehensives. Just, the institutional nature of.

Shoes and no socks.

DH and DS brushing their teeth. Especially the whine of the sonic brush.

My especially teeth grinding one is 'I reached out to him.'

No, no you didn't. You emailed him/rang him/contacted him by carrier pigeon.

You DID NOT reach out to him.

Annnnd relax.

oh and fake nails, like claws....ewww

How do people do normal stuff like wiping their bum or well anything?

Don't they get stuff under the nails? ugh.

People using ‘yourself’ instead of ‘you’ and ‘myself’ instead of ‘me.’ It’s like they’re trying to sound formal/clever but it’s just wrong.

Yourself / myself. Why don’t people use you / me in the correct context anymore?

The contestants on Traitors all do it. I think they assume they sound intelligent, using a longer word than is necessary

Naice. I know it’s a MN thing but it sets my teeth on edge.

@MamaToABeautifulBoy @ChillerBee That drives me bonkers. I just don’t understand how people think it sounds right!

My husband brushes his thinning hair and the brushes brushes his scalp.Gives me the ick.

People chewing/slurping/licking
Sex noises when eating like mmm, uhhh to show enjoyment.
Walking on a swimming pool changing room floor or public pool with bare feet.
Hairs or plasters on a pool floor/wall.
Looking at barnacles
Seeing pubes on or around a toilet.

My husband moved the cutlery round in the drawer, put the knives where the spoons go, forks where the knives go. I had no idea something like that would make me so queasy & angry. He was trying to talk to me at the same time as showing me this but I couldn't take in a word he was saying as I rapidly put everything back in its correct slot. And I felt so embarrassed for him! Massively cringed that he'd got life so wrong.

Also meal (mealy grubs, mealymouthed meeeeel) & wet cuffs when washing up, thinking I can get away without doing the correct sleeve shove. Idiot.

Short men with long hair. The one next door has a beard as well, which doesn't help, but it's the pony tail down his tiny back that makes me heave.

Yes sandpaper type nail files. When were teenagers my dsis had a phase of doing this on a daily basis and seemed to mostly do it in the living room with the rest of us. If I objected she wouldn't countenance not doing it. It was totally fine and I was just not teenagery enough to understand. But it was gross. 😁

People on tv and films drinking milk or juice out of a communal carton from the fridge. They especially seem to be found doing this at night and by the light of only the fridge light. Generally this is the prelude for an angsty discussion

Ooh I've thought of another one. Recordings of live music. And after a few bars the audience starts to clap in recognition and appreciation. Yes shut up displaying how you're a super fan and "in the know". I don't mind when it happens at all live concert. It's only recoded tracks. Ruins it.

Oh god! People all singing Auld Lang Syne! So fake friendship. Especially if I have to join in. Love to do the Hokey Cokey mind you 😆

@AccidentallyWesAnderson I think couples are asked to do this ( hold hands ) on A Place In The Sun by the producers of the show. 😀
Just like they have to clink glasses at the start.
