Eaten tuna 🤢

Monstrous food eaten by those with poor morals.

Is this an Elis and John spin off?

> She stands for no messing 😁
She probably stands alone

She’s a gorgeous slim blonde who is loads of fun. She does not stand alone unless she wants to.

First date he parked up in a disabled spot, he hasn't mentioned anything about a disability. He then went on to brag about how he was so lucky his brother was disabled so he could park almost anywhere for free.
I went for a wee and never went back.

I didn’t like the way he said ‘toilet’

HRTQueen · 15/06/2026 10:52

Used baby talk

this was a few months in I jokingly said eww no baby talk plane when he used it again I told him it was a turn off, then he used it as he thought it was a way to make me laugh

it wasn’t I went off him quite quickly and moved on no regrets though

He was a young Tom Cruise look-alike.
Worst kisser ever. Very slobbery.
It was bad.

I had one of those too! He was my second ever boyfriend and there was no dribbling with the one before him. He made my chin wet, and then tried to make out that I was the dribbler!

I used to go out with a guy who called an electrician to change a lightbulb… I was at his house and tbh I was probably going to sleep with him that night which for me is kind of a big deal. I excused myself, and ended up dumping him via text which was a bit mean but looking back he kind of had some rage issues as well as being incompetent so it was probably for the best.

That is one of the worst concepts I have ever heard of in my entire life 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 I really really wish I hadn’t ever considered that 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙄

Yep I literally retched at that one.

Is he Bill Bailey, @Dollymylove? (I could forgive his many hair-related errors, I think)

Sadly not 😆 some men can really rock that look, Barry, unfortunately, didnt 😬

I wonder if he had a photo of his mummy on his Prom night posing beside him in a colour coordinated dress?

Omg.... there's a post on here with exactly that. A mum has bought a dress the same colour as her sons prom suit yo match for pictures at home 😂

I am interested in knowing how he said it. Please expand on this 😇🤣

I have been feeling wistful in the last few days about my decision not to risk a relationship again.

Reading this I feel COMPLETELY VINDICATED.

At university I got the ick about a bloke who was objectively very good looking, but wore white jeans and said "supper" for evening meal. My recent relationship was with someone, I now realise, who held his cutlery stupidly. I always noticed it, but now I am thankfully out of it, I realise how ick-worthy it was.

One of the reasons my ex husband is my ex husband is because I increasingly couldn't hide my ick about the noises his throat made. Every time he swallows spit there's a kind of crack noise in his throat. The noise he makes eating a sandwich or a banana makes me want to locate the nearest shovel.

I have since found out I have misophonia!

WestwardHo1 · 15/06/2026 11:19

I see I'm not the first to have mentioned white jeans.

NaiceCupOTea · 15/06/2026 11:22

University boyfriend. First proper boyfriend. Came over to 'hide' at my house one time because he and his mates had been driving round the town centre all day and firing water pistols out his mate's car at pedestrians, and he was worried the Police were looking for him.

We were 21 years old and he was studying to be a lawyer.

He was confused when I ended it.

Givemeausernamepls · 15/06/2026 11:34

I've never needed the laugh emoji more!!!

Tbh just breathing for a few of my exs. I do think i am pretty intolerant tho, but my 14 year old DD has been more capable than many men i have met (been thinkign this about 5 years too!)

QuintadosMalvados · 15/06/2026 11:35

Kept using the word peckish (as in hungry).

Kissed me after eating scampi without drinking something to rinse his mouth first, crumbly bits in my mouth and I'm a vegetarian so that just sealed the dea.

You didn't have to kiss him. That's gross!

BillieWiper · 15/06/2026 11:53

One guy I know wore a white suit to a squat party. And then when I asked him why he said 'because it makes me really sexual'?!

pinkyredrose · 15/06/2026 11:39

I didn't know he'd just chowed down on a scampi dinner tbf, greeted him and got a scampi smooch.

He’d lost part of his index finger in an accident and he pushed a CD into a CD player with his finger stub. A week later it was over - I just couldn’t get past it. 😁

Pat Cummins the Aus men’s cricket captain and fast bowler has a similar deformity - his sister slammed his finger the door when they were children. He is a gorgeous man though, I doubt it stopped his success with women, although he’s married now

Told me I was a ‘pleb’ for putting milk in my Earl Grey.

FrenchandSaunders · 15/06/2026 12:15

One bloke used to take me to a pub near to where his ex lived ... we'd drive past slowly afterwards and he'd stare at the house whilst he angrily told me how awful she was. We did this several times before I finally dumped him .. what was I thinking! Very young is my only defence.

Another one ... I've said this before on here ... first holiday abroad, boat trip, all these 20 somethings diving off the boat, or jumping in. He spent about 20 minutes wrapping those foam noodles around his body before gently lowering himself down the steps.
