To ask for your most minor, irrational ick?

[trekking1]

The thing that men do that is completely normal to most people, but gives you the ick?

Mine is men wearing long socks with shorts. I'm sorry I just can't

Also huge filled lips. When I see them they make me recoil. Imagine my reaction when my step dil turned up at my nan in laws funeral with them

I had one who said "yum"

Instant ick

little shiny, angry bottoms 🤣🤣

Anyone doing either of these hand things, especially in photos 🤘🤙, I don’t know why I guess I’m just not cool enough 😂

This is Gregg Wallace! He also says choclit 🤢

Anyone else reading this and actually glad to be single? 🤣

Being unable to drive past a certain age

Using the phrases "daddy day care" or "babysitting" when referring to parenting their own children.

A man who needs to have his children's name and dates of birth tattooed onto his body in order to remember them.

Men who change into house slippers when they get home and then shuffle about in them with the soles slapping at the floor.

Cycling induced Lycra. Especially when a herd of cyclists have stopped off somewhere for a drink and innocent bystanders are confronted by Lycra-clad male anatomies and you just don't know where to look.

Cycling induced injuries. My BIL regularly falls off his bike and sends an SOS to SIL who has to stop everything, drive to beleaguered Lycra-clad BIL, scoop him up and deliver him to A&E. One time, he was knocked off his bike by a group of startled deer. Presumably they were innocent bystanders suddenly confronted by Lycra.

Fussiness with food, long hair, sportswear

Also, am I allowed to add my own icks about a guy who was a bit of a tool lately?

Limited vocabulary, part of it is dialect however he uses the same 2/3 words to describe or react to everything. Just a very limited scope.

Scoffs often.. like when I was first getting to know him I asked him if he'd gone to uni when younger and he said 'Yeah?!' and scoffed like I'd asked him if the sky were blue. Insecure about getting a 2:1 and not a first even though it was over a decade ago and literally makes zero difference at this point. Brought it up several times.

Makes various excuses about things rather than just being honest.

Very much a wet lettuce (obviously barring health issues) but constantly 'so much going on' 'too busy' couldn't handle working a couple of extra hours.

Two-faced/disingenuous.

That felt good to let it all out 🤣

I once went on a date with a guy who insisted he play the guitar while I sat on a (table) chair in front of him 🤮

Oh, and bad table manners & chomping food!

It reminds me of the Barbie film where all the women are having the guitar tediously played at them by various men 🤣

Having an Android. I can’t explain it but I just don’t like it!

Haha I'm so pleased there's another 'cold' example! Thought I was the only one with this ick 🤣

another one, many times when a jar of jam has been opened and the top has been mouldy and the person who discovered it says "oh, somone must have put a buttery knife in the jar".... WHO THE FUCK PUTS A BUTTERY KNIFE IN A JAR OF JAM?!!!!! its been a very strict, unbroken rule in my household that marmalade or jam is spooned out of a jar. there has never been butter contamination in a ny of my preserves but guess what? it still eventually goes mouldy (except marmalade as my husband eats it every morning). so the thing about buttery knives isent even nescessary

Totally agree

I find the “small hands” thing a bit mean. It’s not something that can be changed or helped.

That's the one!

sorry Ive said a few things not men specific...
men who act all exasperated about how their other halves cant go to a grocery shop without buying loads..(hint, families always needs stuff you fucking morons)

on my till at sainsburys (years ago) I always had men, normally older ones say "cheer up!" or "you look knackered!" after a while I started just saying "thanks!" or "its just how my face looks". another one, "I only came in here for a bag of carrots"( when having a whole trolley full of stuff

the worst one, probably a whole other catgory, a man with his son in tesco.. said son apparently wanted a pink donut. the dad loudly banging on "you cant have a PINK donut!!!! NOT A PINK DONUT FFS!! ITS PINK! YOU CANT HAVE A PINK DONUT!!!" poor kid. I made a point of never ever not letting my sons have something because its pink ffs. stupid man I hope his wife left him

It's not minor to me, but someone using the same spoon for stirring tea and coffee after making both at the same time.
Absolutely disgusting and wrong to someone who has OCD issues and a huge reason I don't allow most people to make me a cuppa! The anxiety that it's something they could do isn't worth it!

To be fair I don't think it is a natural phenomenon, I think it's been created in the gym.

Long nails on men makes me feel physically sick. No idea why as long nails on women is fine. Same with toenails- men who dont cut their toenails and they become long and jagged (hork)

Small hands - ick

Men who wear trousers so tight it makes their legs look like parsnips

Bad teeth- I know some people cant help this and dentistry is expensive but yellowing/snaggle teeth coming at you to kiss you is just rank

Man bun. They always look super greasy. No problem if you wash your hair but they're always greasy looking

I once went on a date with a guy who insisted he play the guitar while I sat on a (table) chair in front of him

haha yes! what is this about?- its fcking weird. Next time I'll get my recorder out and insist they listen to my wobbly version of three blind mice

Ew that’s given me the ick just reading it. 🤢

Just to add my ick - men who say ‘we are pregnant’.
