Inspired by another thread.

Many years ago -

Cried in a cupboard when I ended the relationship
Another delightful chap on a FIRST DATE picked his nose and wiped it under the table at dinner in full view of my horrified face

There is one more but it is way to gross to post 🤦🏼‍♀️🤮

Told me, with great affection, like he was doing me a huge favour, that he would 'just follow me with work' and 'I will just get a job in a shop or something'. We were both in university at the time, and I was doing a design degree, not joining the army or planning to work on oil rigs or something.

I was like WTF, you're planning on being a trailing husband with a little job at 21?? The economy had just collapsed too!

Hilarious 😂😂😂 he was trying to be a design husband was he

OP you have to tell us the other thing😂

My ex had moved out a few weeks prior as we had separated and had put the house up for sale. I was still living in it alone.

He let himself in after a night out and tried to steal the TV. Drunk as a skunk, he started walking up the street with a 70 inch screen!

Different boyfriends

Wasn't hygienic but still wanted blow jobs. Once, I gagged when I got near and could smell it and he was insulted. WTF?

Wiped his bits on the duvet cover (his house, not mine, I'd have kicked him out there and then) after DTD.

Cut his toenails in the kitchen and one flicked into my cereal.

Took false teeth out in front of me.

Absolutely rank. Urgh.

We have a turn of phrase in NE Scotland
Gads min 🤮🤮
For all of the above.

@beeble347 the hand thing and lick made my stomach flip.🤮if I saw that irl I would be sick.

Date turned up wearing double denim and a cravat. It was 30 + years ago, but that was never an acceptable clothing combination 😂
Same date asking for a drink which would only be known colloquially in a particular area of the country. Trying to make the bar staff look stupid when they didn’t know what he was asking for, just made him look like a complete prick. It was definitely first date, last date for me!

Ohhhh please .... you have to tell us the other thing, pleeeease!

HauntedRavioli · 09/06/2026 03:11

Smoked roll-ups and somehow always had a little stringy bit of tobacco stuck to his top front teeth.

Said thank you after sex.

2 different men, both thankfully long gone from my life!

Please tell us about the other thing.

foodlovefood · 09/06/2026 03:21

After a few dates, was invited for a sleep over. Professional guy, funny and attractive. He made a lovely dinner, house looked lovely. Moved to his bedroom. Star Wars sheets. Shelves full of pops and teddy bears. He was a 42 year old guy with a kids bedroom. Plus he made his own art, which was Star Wars and badly painted. Mood killed

Crushed23 · 09/06/2026 03:23

Be a stingy fuck. This has been several men over the years. One asked money back for a coffee? Ridiculous.

Nothing more ick inducing.

KateSixer · 09/06/2026 06:04

The one that immediately comes to mind is the one who, quite without warning or any preamble, tried to attack my pubes with kitchen scissors. He said I thought I'd prefer it!! Instant ick and taxi!

I am sure there are others unfortunately...

AutumnLover1990 · 09/06/2026 10:58

Put his gum in my mouth as he was kissing me 😮

SacrutiMonkey · 09/06/2026 11:02

I had a boyfriend who use to take every receipt (eg if we went out to dinner or I bought some petrol) and give it to his dad to put through his business as a tax deduction. When I asked wtf he was doing, he seemed completely baffled that anyone could possibly object.

101Alsatians · 09/06/2026 11:10

Asked to borrow 150eu on our second date.
Growled and sniffed like a dog when initiating sex.
Took a dump and didn't flush..just left it

Ugh

beeble347 · 10/06/2026 20:00

Agreed! Had the first one I mentioned (bf) buy me a pepsi when I was out and having a bad day. Asked me for the money back later FFS need to give myself a slap for staying 😂

A sappy lug..nice🤣

Hid under the bed when I was in labour

Sorry, but 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I presume he's an Ex??

OneThreadOnlybyN · 10/06/2026 20:17

Seems very minor having read the thread, but... always had a real hankie. Which he held corner to corner & dragged under his nose instead if blueing ut.

AND has the most pathetic 'cum' face I'veever had the misfortune to witness. Shame as other than that he was a lovely guy who wanted to marry me & have kids.

i was still trying to work out if i could get past those things, but really started to fancy & day dream about his best mate, so split up with him. Still sometimes wonder how it might have worked out.💁🏻‍♀️

dingdangdongdo · 10/06/2026 20:23

Burps but carries on talking through the burp. I still married him though and annoyingly he still does this.

oliviaAustin · 10/06/2026 20:32

I’ve been with DH since we were very young so often can’t contribute to these threads. But then I just remembered one of my teenage boyfriends… my mum loathed him. He used to go to my house and order this takeaway that was doner meat, chips and hot sauce wrapped up in 3 naan bread. It was enormous and he never shared a bite and stank of raw onion after. He also once got angry so spat in my mouth. Thankfully that was a bit much for his mate who decked him across the face… I didn’t even know the mate very well but felt quite chuffed with him.

canuckup · 10/06/2026 20:42

Tripped up over nothing

Unnecessarily tossing objects when simple passing is required

Swearing incessantly

Obviously nose picking

Raging in traffic

I could go on but it's not doing me any good really

Dollymylove · 10/06/2026 20:44

Used cotton buds to clean his manky waxy ears then leave them on the window ledge 🤢 also , brayed like a donkey and his top lip curled up at one side when he laughed. I cant believe it married this cringey embarrassment of a male 😡

CeffylCoch · Yesterday 18:20

Some of these are making me feel sick 🤮🤣

Serious eating disorder; didn't like butter, all fish, mayonnaise, yoghurt, avocados...the list was endless.

Hideously underweight at 6ft 4.

It was going to bed with a bicycle.
