Adults who never drink tea or coffee. Choose squash or hot chocolate instead

Men's suits. I always wonder how often are they actually cleaned?

Having worked @ a dry cleaners… -you won’t be at all surprised @ how revolting some suits are allowed to get 😵‍💫 ick doesn’t come near how awful i felt about them.

Face tattoos and missing teeth.

Not getting the polo shirt hate though, my ex wore nicely fitting polo's with trousers and smart shorts and he looked good. Is there a particular type that gives people the ick or just any?

Men wearing 3/4 length trousers bleurgh.

Like wise people wearing sandals with toe nails they havent cut in half a century (Looking at you FIL).

Men wearing tight trousers with shoes and no socks, I see it with Grooms thinking they looks trendy, no just no.

I look at men's walks. Ten to two clown feet - forget it!

This is my secret one! I just think it could be the best looking man on the planet, but I have an Andrew Tate walk and it would be all over!!

There was a guy in the gym yesterday who walked like this, and I was irrationally annoyed at his presence! And then he went and had those tiny socks on with his trainers as well.

go and see a physio!!

I love threads like these.

That smug feeling when you're about ten posts in and nothing has applied to you, then you just get kablammed, banger after banger.

Not going to say which ones, but let's say I feel called out by many of these posts!

Keepgettingolder81 · Today 07:36

Any, and I mean any form of turkey teeth! I’m very sorry I don’t want to cause insult but every single person has them looks stupid there is no such thing as subtle nice looking turkey teeth.

You all look shite!

Do you mean like Charlie Chaplin, ie feet not facing forward? If so, I’m the same!

Sockless wonders. The knowledge of sweat puddling between toes makes me dry heave.

I read that as sweat pudding - that's a double ick!

No I wear legging 99% of my life which a PP said gave them the ick. I shall still wear my leggings regardless. I think the point is we all find different things icky.

Adults using that irritating slang word.

Nobody is perfect but it's good to have a sense of humour in this miserable world. Men judge women's physical appearance on a score out of 10, so...

Men who get themselves a “Hobby” to justify spending exorbitant amounts of money and taking time away from their family, leaving their partner to do all the adulting every spare second they can swing it. They justify their own enjoyment and believe their time is much more valuable than their partner’s. Also the ones who make these hobbies their entire personality. They’re all over Strava and constantly checking their heart rate and browsing for the best Lycra shorts or expensive running shoes. Nothing worse than being subjected to their “stats.”

Men who think women should get a “little job” and believe that these things fit in perfectly around childcare and school pickups, drop offs and extra-curricular activities. They are quite convinced that such things exist: You know damn well that they won’t be picking up when the school rings to tell your kid is vomiting.

Add to the second point that the job is perfectly acceptable when it suits them, but when the woman has angered them with some minor indiscretion, suddenly the woman is a lazy loser who doesn’t work enough hours and is a financial burden to the Very Important Man with his Very Important Job.

I'm not entirely sure if this is just a man hating thread but here's one of my icks.
Young women who have needless cosmetic surgery like lip fillers , cheek fillers, thick tattooed eyebrows, arse cheeks full of fillers and those tights gym leggings. Add camel toe on that as well.
Some of these other posts are pretty cruel tbh, mocking peoples physical features and speech, which they csnt really do anything about

Old blokes with straggly, grey ponytails, even more so if they have a straggly grey beard to go with it.

I've seen several recently, all look around 60. Yuk!

Men with man buns like the security guard at Russell Brand's side at the moment, going to and from court🤮

putitonthewrongway · Today 08:13

Next boxer shorts with “Next” displayed on the waistband. I have no problem with them if “Next” isn’t displayed and they are just plain.

Weeelokthen · Today 08:15

Barrel jeans, the ridiculously stupidly wide ones, no-one looks good in them 🤑

Francestein · Today 08:22

Protein Bros who cook something like a grilled cheese with a burger patty (black nitrile gloves compulsory of course). To show off their amazing (underwhelming) grilled roadkill-du-jour they grasp it in both hands to prevent it from running away, or maybe to flex their biceps (?), slowly bringing it up to their lips before shutting their eyes and unhinging their mandible to try and turn their head into a flip top bin lid, and then they dramatically chomp down on it and tear off a chunk in a manner that resembles a great white chowing down on a surfer’s torso.

Gold chains. Any sort of chain is awful, but a man wearing a gold chain genuinely makes me feel a bit ill.

Even Mr Mescal?
