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?!

The sound of my new kettle boiling ( I was alright with the old one!)

Dyed dark hair with fair roots.

Dark eyebrows with bleached blonde hair...

I think it’s ok if they aren’t doing the hands on her hips side shuffle, gazing into each other’s eyes. I can’t deal with it being taken too seriously.

Food bits floating in water. Cannot cope with that at all.

Seeing bones in a stew.
I'm looking at you Mum !

My husband is the same. He thinks it stems from an experience of being ill as a child, when the doctor held his tongue down with a wooden stick.

I hate it when a TV/radio/YouTube show has a guest or a guest presenter and the host and the presenter keep trying to talk over each other and the flow of conversation is all over the place and not flowing. I have to turn it over.

@TTCquestion yes, that’s definitely the worst kind! But I can’t watch any of them - even online - choreographed, unchoreographed - it’s all just awful! Needless to say, we didn’t have one at our wedding!

I have many, but one of the biggest ones I have is when someone is unable to complete a sentence without adding “yeah?” as a question! Once or twice in a conversation is fine, but it’s when people do it with every sentence 😳.

My son’s PE teacher/head of year seemed to add it to the end of every sentence, and it made me cringe every time. The trouble is, once I pick up on it, that’s all I notice when that person is talking to me 😕

When kids are made to put on social media “happy heavenly birthday” to some old relation they never met. Pointless

American recipe YouTube or tiktoks when they layer an absolutely ludicrous amount of cheese on the dish. Plus more cheese. Plus two 'sticks' of butter. Then a cup of cream. Plus more cheese. Makes me feel nauseous!

Me too!

Eating off disposable ?bamboo? wooden spoons. They dry out your mouth and create a weird dragging sensation in your mouth that makes me phobic and cringing.

Paper straws - I would never use one but I'm also very uncomfortable if one has ever been in my drink - like when they bring drinks to the table and just have one plonked in. I take it out immediately but it just feels a bit contaminated.

Any small or torn bits of paper and all stickers but especially fruit ones and the tiny QC ones on clothes. One ended up stuck to me in bed - i wanted to remove the whole piece of my body that it had touched

Except from friends, Aussie accents - apologies to any Aussies on here!

Dates back to a TV prog - A Greek Odyssey. Dh and I love Greece, so started watching. It was presented by an Aussie of Greek extraction, but I frequently found him so loud and brash that after a few episodes I just couldn’t bear to watch it any more.
I now can’t watch any drama set in Oz and any ads with the accent turn me right off whatever product.
All VVU of me, I know!
(I’ve visited Oz twice and enjoyed it, in case anybody’s wondering.)

Haven't read the full thread so unsure if I'm alone here (probably am) but dance groups, particularly street dance groups (not ballet iykwim) who all do the same steps at the same time (think Diversity). I appreciate the skill but are we meant to be impressed by the dance steps or the fact they're doing it all at the same time, and if it's the latter, why? 😉

.....oh and getting my sleeves wet by accidentally dunking them in the sink

Lips that have been injected and made bigger drinking from glasses, cups but especially straws.
The person licking those lips just sends me off the heeby jeeby scale.
Dont ask me why but I cannot watch it, it makes my stomach go funny and I feel very very weird.

When people use stupid phrases unnecessarily.

Like, for example, saying, I'm a grown-ass woman.

Or someone on here last week who was 'butt hurt' because they'd been denied a promotion.

Actually think about the words you are saying, and if you can't make them make sense, pick a different way phrase, instead of spouting gibberish.

People making a cunt of themselves in a stupid ass way.

I agree with this. We had an invitation for a birthday party in the evening and it said something like, 'there is a meal at seven'. It gave me the cringe so bad.

It's either dinner or supper or tea but meal is what you feed pigs.

@ButterBastardBeans But 'a meal' isn't something you feed to pigs and virtually nobody would misunderstand it.

You've already said 'dinner or supper or tea' - there are so many variants but everyone understands what 'a meal' is, especially as the time is given.

I don't dispute this but it still makes me cringe.

Meal and Tea make me cringe
Grown men asking " what's for tea? "
Just no

Even worse
Our lunch
Our dinner
Our tea

You wouldn't be having Fred at number 20s dinner would you so why say " our" 😂
