Your lighthearted icks

[Kibble29]

I do hate the word ick but I’m not sure there’s an alternative!

So, nice and lightheartedly, what are yours?

For me, it’s men sitting down to pee and when people put their left arm round the passenger headrest as they reverse a car. Both just make me cringe! 😨

How often do you see men peeing?

Anyone speaking with their mouth full ..

Very rarely, thankfully.

It’s more the thought of it, as I know some of them do it.

I have no issues with a man doing a sit down wee.
I did however go on a date with someone who said "fairy scruff" instead of fair enough and that was it for me.
Another one was men who wouldn't leave any kind of tip, especially when the change from the note given was so minimal and it would have been far nicer to leave it for the waitress.

And to answer your question…

I have people who order in a restaurant by reading out the full description off the menu.

So, instead of saying “I’ll have the ribeye steak, please”, they say “I’ll have the 30-day aged marbled ribeye cooked over charcoal accompanied by potato dauphinoise, butter green vegetables, and finished with red wine jus”.

Ooh yeah, being tight isn’t attractive at all.

Nor is “fairy scruff”. 😂Ages and ages ago I knew someone who said “working progress” rather than “work in progress” and felt the same.

I hate it when people say 'I opened up a bottle of fizz.' 😖

Just say wine, or prosecco. Fizz could be alka seltzter, or tango, or coke.

People saying 'bottle of fizz' really annoys me!

I used to know a man who said "furry muff" instead of fair enough!! Also would say "spank your hairy crutch" instead of thank you very much. So gross. 🤢

And the awful thing is they think they're being really witty and clever. Arghh!

I used to know a guy who said the second one too! Degenerate behaviour.

My dp eating a bowl of cereal.

The word nap!

I absolutely hate the word toilet..it makes me shudder ,loo,bog ,lavatory so much more acceptable!
Noisy eaters
People walking with their hands behind their back..messes with my sense of balance and they look handcuffed!

Men under the age of 60 who wear flat caps. Major ick.

A man who says 'could of' rather than 'could have'.

AAAARGH. 😱

Just as someone mentioned cereal…I hate people (usually men, of course!) who hold cutlery like a Neanderthal. What I mean by that is their full fist wrapped around the handle, shovelling the food into their mouth. It puts me in mind of how a caveman would eat.

Potbellied men in football shirts. Baggy shorts, woolly socks (especially revoltingly grubby white ones) and sliders worn together.

On the other hand, my husband has sat down to pee for several years, and I'm very grateful. He used to miss the bowl often enough to be annoying, and that was far from a lighthearted ick.

So happy my OH and DS do this. Nonwee all over the bathroom. Game changer

People I can see through. I remember a bloke going on about feminism when he was obviously a sexist twat. People pretending to be something they're not.

Oh yes, and men wearing T-shirts with the slogan "This is what a Feminist looks like". Virtue-signalling, performative twats. I don't care how sincere you think you are, I want to punch you.

Grown men who prefer baths over showers. An occasional bath as a treat/indulgence/to
soothe ailments, fine. A bath as standard, no. Grow up.

Also, loafers with no socks. Any shoe with no socks actually. See also, flip flops.

Men who cross their legs like women 🤮

Those who constantly litter their speech with the word "like", end sentences with "know what I mean", say "sat" instead of "sitting", drop their aitches and use glottal stops.

Men with long hair, long fingernails or, worst of all, ponytails.

Any jewellery other than a wedding ring (im married but if in a dating context a wedding ring would obviously put me off too 😂)

Nose/throat/snort thing that phlegmy men do 🤢

Being precious about their car or clothes in a don't want to get it dirty kind of way

Snobbery

I can't stand men with long fingernails, especially if dirty. Urgh. You're not coming near me or my bits with your filthy, scrapey talons!

Manspreaders on public transport. So annoying.

I've never fancied a man that had super skinny legs. Maybe it's being Scottish - they've got to look good in a kilt and you need decent legs for that!
