Funniest reason you got "the ick"...

[singlewhitetrashheap]

A fair few years ago, I was with a really hot bloke from the Netherlands. Tall, dark haired and really good looking. He was also nicely endowed in more intimate areas.

We'd had sex a couple of times and were just learning what we both liked etc. Third occasion is in full swing, and he's on top. He pauses for a minute, and let's out a really loud fart which ordinarily wouldn't be an issue because they're funny. It was really nasty and we had to stop so I could open a window. Fortunately we weren't being loud.

We're getting back into things and I can tell he's getting close but he starts moaning really loudly because he's ALSO farting really loudly and is trying to hide it by moaning like a porn star, and then there's the fact that he can't hide the smell, and it hits me again and the over performative moaning/the actual farting, and the fact that the entire street must have heard him, meant I just couldn't do anything but laugh and gag.

Neither one of us finished and he was mortified. I couldn't stop giggling. It made him sulk. I couldn't help it.

Unfortunately, any sexual attraction I had, completely evaporated. Fortunately, his flight home was the next morning and I didn't have to spend days with him. We never met up again.

Ugh. That would have given me the right ick!

ExH liked having sex in the middle of the day, which was inconvenient enough in itself. But he used to walk into the room and say, in this breathy voice which I suppose was meant to be sexy, "Come into the bedroom with your husband..." 🤮 Of course, he'd built up a million icks by then, like being insanely moody and leaving his shavings in the bathroom sink etc., so that's probably why I never found that line a turn-on. But I'm not sure I would with anyone...it's just not a sexy line, for some reason.

I hate them too, they're horrible. Only acceptable while doing sports. But I get the ick when adults wear trainers in place of actual shoes, whether male or female. It's so childish. Adults wear shoes, unless doing sports! And don't get me started on people who wear flip-flops in towns and cities...they should be beach/pool wear only!

I wear trainer type shoes because they're comfortable and I'm past the age of caring what anyone else thinks about it.

But there are actual shoes which are comfortable too...wearing trainers all the time makes your feet spread and they're not supportive enough.

A boy I dated years ago wore white canvas slip on pumps. They always made me wince, but he was a decent lad so I figured judging him on his footwear was a bit unfair.

One night he took them off and put them in front of the fire to dry out. They sat there on the carpet, curling up at each end, omitting a ghastly rubber odour.

I just couldn't come back from it.

My late, unlamented mother, lived by the motto: "Always judge a man by his shoes."

Nah, I like my Merrells and don't care if my feet spread. Been wearing them for 20 year and the support is just fine.

You know, I think there might be something in that.

Ugh, I had a female housemate at uni who thought very highly of herself. I wish I could have filmed her eating, because she took the largest bites I've ever seen before or since, and this was thirty years ago. I've never even seen any man put such a lot of food into his mouth, let alone a woman. She would pile the food on her fork, and each clump of food was probably about three to four inches long, no joke, and then shove it all into her mouth. Over and over. And she had to open her mouth really wide to get it to fit.

And she thought she was so posh! 🤣

Did she make terrible noises as well?

Just googled those, and they look like specialised comfy-walking shoes, not really like trainers.

Trainers to me mean more like:

Thankfully, I don't remember noises. She might have done, but I was so busy being appalled at the sheer volume of food she managed to shove into her gob with each bite that I may not have noticed!

Friend was aged about 28 and married. She told me this story and I could never feel the same way about her.

She and her husband had a disagreement about when to leave on a roadtrip. This is in the States, where people routinely drive a thousand miles or more for a trip. I think she wanted to leave in the night and drive on traffic-free roads, whereas he wanted to wait until the morning. She got very upset, drove off anyway, and was so het up that she called her parents in the middle of the night (mine would have killed me for this unless there was a medical emergency), and created so much stress that she made her dog throw up. I think she returned after driving an hour or so.

I already thought she was a bit of a princess, and this story just put the nail in the coffin. That poor dog. How much must she have been creating to upset him like that? She also referred to him once as "just a dog."

No, that was Tinky Winky! 🤣🤣🤣

Damn it!

EMITTING!!

I don't think that's true about making feet spread.

I have a foot defect and I can only wear Nike trainers, nothing else. They have great support and are moulded to your foot. If I wear any other shoes I literally can't walk by the end of the day.

I wear them everywhere, with smart suit etc. I have lots, white, coloured, etc. Luckily, I live in London/ work in the industry where this is very common.

People judging other people’s footwear gives me the massive ick. 🤷🏻‍♀️

OK, but most people who commit this sartorial sin don't have such severe foot problems that they can only wear Nike trainers.

It's people who wear those great big white ones in place of real shoes that give me the ick. I know several people who don't seem to know that adults wear shoes, and they just look like overgrown kids. They don't have foot problems, they just have zero sense of style. Similar to young men who wear a business suit and carry a rucksack. Overgrown schoolkid vibes.

Oh, so you just like all footwear equally? Well, aren't you spesh! 🤣

No - but it’s none of my business what people wear on their feet. I live in trainers. I’m post-menopausal and have recurrent back issues. I work full-time in a management position and dress professionally but casually. I’m comfortable and do my job well. Who gives a shit if someone thinks I look like an ‘overgrown kid’?

My opinion doesn't matter, does it? I happen to think that trainers on an adult outside sports looks bad, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm right! I know there are many nicer-looking trainers and trainer-like shoes (like Skechers) available. I might be biased by my friend's truly horrible ex, who had a super-high opinion of himself and earned a small fortune in IT but wore those boat-sized blindingly white trainers in his forties, which looked just looked dreadful. Like 90s sports gear. He went nowhere near a gym. I enjoy the mental image of his superior self looking so completely unstylish. But there are many colourful train-esqe shoes around, I know. Boden had some nice ones.

I find Nike trainers very stylish, thank you very much.

What I find unforgivable is dirty shoes. That is totally unacceptable.

What, those great big white ones I linked above that everyone wore in the Nineties? I'm sure Nike does some better ones, but I find that style just awful anywhere outside of sport!
