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! 😨

Yeuuuch! Thrush awaits anyone who lets someone with dirty nails near their vag.

I had a boyfriend who would blow gently in disgust when he smelt his own fart. Just fart and own it or don't fart at all.

@SaulHudsonDavidJones DP rocks a flat cap! He has a few. But he is over 50 :-) And I often borrow one if it’s windy because I can tuck my hair into it.
Major ick - he stops washing dishes when the dryer is full. Instead of drying the dishes, he just stops and announces he has done the dishes. Of course, I am left with the stuff that needs scrubbed… but the man looks so sexy with his cap… (I still make him finish the bloody dishes in the morning!)

The word "moist" I love going postal but I hate the character name reading it makes me shudder

Also "specific" ocean ffs

My mother would say "furry muff" for fair enough, and it made me want to dig myself a hole.

People who walk along busy streets looking at their mobile phone without a care about what's going on around them and expecting everyone to move out of their way. This always happens in London.

My DP is one of these. Fair enough a nice soak after a long day but he will get a "quick bath" to get ready. So spend an eternity to fill the thing then sit there for 10 fucking minutes. Just get a shower ffs!!! It was nearly a deal breaker in the early days but over the years I learnt to accept it.
RIP my water bill!!

Men who speak in fake mediaeval language: 'methinks I'll go out for a beer tonight', 'evening milady' etc

I can visualise this type of man as having a ponytail, a too long beard, and one of those who thinks they're a totally liberal feminist but it doesn't count when they watch pron 😂

Grown men who do am-dram, specifically panto

Such a bloody waste of water etc money and also, SO indulgent.
I would love to have the luxury of the time to run a bath and then sit in it on a daily basis!
Its so selfish when there’s a shower option.

People who say the word 'issue' with a lot of emphasis on the ss: Isssssssue

Instead of 'ishue'

Shudder

Women with fake nails, ugh, germ breeding grounds! Even worse if they do that annoying "tap tap" noise every time they use their phone or the touch screen of a till etc. Just turns my stomach.

Nails shouldn't be any longer than the tip of your finger imo.

Tattoos and facial hair.

Please don't say this, it's very difficult getting men to do amdram! They are very much needed. Please give them another chance!

The word ick gives me shudders it's such a childish word

People whose solution to somebody struggling with their mental health is a nice cup of tea or similar. Yes sometimes it can help but it's so dismissive.

Oh I totally totally understand and have loads of friends who do it, I will back them 100% and support but it gives me the ick, I can't help it

This made me laugh!

I really hate the no sock trend. As for flip flops, it should be illegal for so much toe to be visible 🤮

Midwives referring to mum and baby instead of using a name.

What????🤣 I'm sorry but that's one of the strangest things I've read on here.

I can't stand people who just spit all the time. Or hoick with phlegm... just disgusting.

There’s just something about imagining a grown man lying around in a bath that gives the ick!
And the. add to that, even more ick when its a father in a busy home on a busy weekday morning and there’s a mum running round who hasnt had time for even a shower! This is not my situation but I have a few friends who definitely experience this frequently!
