Mine is for referring to the 69 position as 'summer of 69ing' and condoms ss 'rubber johnnies'.

It just made my skin crawl and there was no coming back from that!

This bloke came to pick me up in his car.
He was about 22.
He wore driving gloves

I just couldn't.

One guy i went out with insisted on watching dirty dancing 3 times in a row on our second date.

There wasn't a third.

I once dumped someone over a disagreement about the words to the Frog Chorus.

The first time we slept together, he grabbed my pubic hair and said this needs to come off. Hell no, joe.

JennyOnTheBlocks · 29/05/2014 18:53

Driving gloves Grin

Roussette · 29/05/2014 18:58

I'd do him.

Even with the gloves on Grin

I dumped several blokes for going to the 24 hour garage to buy me crisps when I asked them to in the middle f the night (like 4am). I am nicer now but I really had a problem with people never standing up to me. That backfired, dh wouldnt get me a magnum when I was heavily pregnant at tea time oh well careful what you wish for ;), they were all really nice good looking guys as well, hopw they all found nicer women.

Deverethemuzzler · 29/05/2014 19:07

Good God , NO!

I have been with my OH for coming up 25 years. We have been through thick and thin but if he donned a pair of leatherette comfort driving gloves I would be researching online quickie divorces in a spit.

Deverethemuzzler · 29/05/2014 19:09

I was working in a nightclub and my then boyfriend turned up in a fucking fringed, suede tan jacket.
Dumped his sorry arse the same night.

The joke is that he was a total arse who treated me like crap but I put up with it.

Until The Jacket.

Someone I used to go out with would, if we were about to have sex, get completely naked before I had taken anything off. He also had a thing about doing it outside and kept going on about how he wanted to do it in the garden (we had the downstairs flat). Massive turn off.

He also used to ask for a blow job in a baby voice and sometimes would sort of thrust in front of my face in the hope I would give him one.

Deverethemuzzler · 29/05/2014 19:10

Too many arses, sorry.

Its the thought of that jacket...

Deverethemuzzler · 29/05/2014 19:10

Blow job in a baby voice ......eeeee yeeeeew!

CruCru · 29/05/2014 19:11

Yes. How I stayed with him so long, I have no idea.

CarmineRose1978 · 29/05/2014 19:12

Sweaty hands...

Deverethemuzzler · 29/05/2014 19:16

Its just reminded me....

I had this boyfriend who said to me once 'do you know why I let you be my girlfriend?'

No

'Because you let me do it after a week'.

He was such a cock. I wish I could remember his surname so I could look him up on FB.

Another one said, as I was just about to leave the house on a night out I will have to take you shopping, I can't have you going out looking like that'.

Boy did I date some princes back in the day Hmm

CuttedUpPear · 29/05/2014 19:21

I dumped one because of the way he tied his shoelaces.

Is that trivial enough?
They were knotted over and over loads of times.

Probably he was lovely but I was fifteen and shallow

Voodoobooboo · 29/05/2014 19:22

Breathed REALLY loudly. I could just tell he'd be a snorer.

Oh and another one for a mind numbingly boring shag. And I mean the dullest, most tedious, boring sex that any two people have ever had.

SteadyEddie · 29/05/2014 19:29

One guy I saw for a few weeks asked me if I wanted to have 'naughty sex' in a Gollum like voice.

He meant keeping his clothes on, but the way he had asked just put me off.

MissRee · 29/05/2014 19:36

Referred to himself in the third person during sex.

Chellebell1 · 29/05/2014 19:50

Venus I probs have worse stories than that lol x

AnotherSpinningFuckingRainbow · 29/05/2014 19:51

Called me by his dog's name by mistake.

Standingonlego · 29/05/2014 19:51

Did not believe my GCSE results (different schools)

AnotherSpinningFuckingRainbow · 29/05/2014 20:03

Tried to stroke a squirrel in the park

AnotherSpinningFuckingRainbow · 29/05/2014 20:03

Wrote terrible songs and kept the lyrics in a folder, which is a shame as he was quite good in bed.
