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! 😨

What on earth is wrong with baths?

I hate showers, very, very rarely have one, always a bath. My late dad was the same, he couldn't stand showers, always had very hot baths.

Having showers instead of baths doesn't make anyone superior 🙄

I know a British man who says "thank you" but only in French, regardless of what country he is travelling in Most tourists at least learn please/thanks/sorry etc in the local language, right?

But not Merci Beaucoup man.

Men in skinny jeans especially if they have a barrel chest or a heavy belly and the legs look like sparrow legs.

Bootcut jeans on anyone.

Facial piercings. Nipple piercings.

Beards.

Men who wear shoes, especially loafers without socks.

Low slung trousers with the crotch nearer the knees than the waist and pants are visible.

A man who sits to piss is a man who does housework.

Happens everywhere. I had to tell a young lass to shift when i got on the bus the other day, i had been stood waiting for the bus when this lass turned up, nose stuck on her phone, bus arrived and on she got ( obviously doesn't know how to queue) i got on behind her and paid she was texting as she walked down the aisle of the bus but was on super slow mode, totally oblivious to anyone round about her.

Men who don't accept they are going bald and hang on to it despite having a little island in the middle. I have no problem with bald men it's the denial that they are going bald that is the problem. Just shave it off!

Certainly one whose parts don't reach the porcelain or the water.

I think it's rude to put a foot on your knee, taking up more space. Normal to cross legs and men with suit on don't want a foot in a shoe anywhere near their trouser knee

I insist the men in my house sit down to pee.

They can do whatever they like when they’re out, but it splashes up, so they can sit at home.

"Physical rage dance" has just made laugh my fucking head off, out loud! Thank you!! 😊

Poor posture can be caused by lots of things.

Men who sit to wee is gross - and it’s always something they have been forced to do by their partner.
imagine if this was the other way round and a husband forced his wife to piss in an unnatural way for a female.
We would call it abusive - also how do you know, are you watching them to make sure ?!

Men who cut theor toast in to triangles in the morning, so precious, specially when all hell can be breaking loose around them

Men who talk straight through women and ignore what they've just said so they can do an anecdote instead of making conversation

Thank you for this. I'm busy divorcing a selfish inconsiderate husband and this was one of the first signs- continuing a daily morning bath when we both had full time jobs to get to and a small child to get to nursery and i'd repeatedly asked him nicely to switch to a shower and/or bathe in the evening. He just sat there and timed 20 minutes every day (without even washing- no bath foam, no wet hair, just sitting watching his iPad ) out of sheer stubbornness. Beyond ick.

Pronouncing words beginning with st as sh, eg shtewdent, shtewdio, shtruggle, shtupid, shtrong - it's not all st words, just some. It just feels sloppy and lazy. <shudders>

I'd prefer they sit to pee rather than leave drips. If they stand to pee...they need to leave it clean.

That's my ick...drips on the toilet/ floor around the toilet.

Noisy eating (this is probably just me issue rather than them actually doing anything wrong)

No thank you for getting where I’m coming from! Quite a few people here are outraged by my outrage!
Sorry to hear you’re going through a divorce. Sending strength

• people who say 'Haitch'
• men walking around town with no shirt on
• eating whilst walking
• mansplaining (I've working in male dominated environments!)
• moustaches
• football shirts

'lol'
I hate it with a passion but even more so when men use it! I know it's ridiculous but it's basically me thinking 99% of people probably have this face 😐 while writing it.

Lol 😐

The word hubby
When people say "I know right" or "reaching out"

Do you hate "appree-see-ate" for "appreciate" as well?! I do!

Oh yes. That's another one.

Shudder

🤣🤣🤣

Anyone who uses ‘my’, as in I love ‘my’ football! 😡

people who constantly use the word gift - I don't get it - when did this all start - for me its just give, the idea of it being a gift is implicit in what you are saying
I was gifted a blanket.
I want to gift my neighbour a plant.
