FabSwingers.com forum: The ‘ick’ list

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

In today’s Times there’s an article about the ‘ick list’ - “life’s biggest turn-offs”. Some of them are understandable, some are a bit petty, some I think would say more about the ‘offended’ rather than the ‘offender’

Some examples the journo gives:

Men: novelty ties; setting your GPS voice to female & then continually calling it ‘stupid’; referring to yourself as a ‘true gent’…

Women: gym leggings as virtue signalling; liking Disney as an adult; telling other women that the ‘clock is ticking’…

What’s on your ‘ick list’?

A couple of mine:

blokes who just talk over other constantly;

people who whinge about literally everything…

oh wait, that’s 90% of the people I work with

Conspiracy theorists who see something on YouTube or Facey and believe it 100% despite years of evidence, peer reviewed data and simple 'science' that proves them wrong.

People who seek advice (often from experts or more experienced folk) and who then go 'nah, I'll stick to what I'm doing now. It'll work eventually.'

Both cause me to question evolution.

Anyone that thinks they are more entitled than anyone else/acts like a snob.

Mysterious for no reason people.

I just think life is too short so CBA to spend time with people who think they are more amazing/interesting/worth knowing more than anyone else.

If high profile celebs can adopt this attitude, so can you x

100%. I think we may have been separated at birth.

Also:

Knucledraggers who have to shout every monosyllabic word they utter, even if their unfortunate target is 1m (or less) away.

Public transport. No, I have no interest in walking somewhere to stand in our predominantly shite weather and wait for whichever generally delayed service is on offer, to then sit on a manky seat barely big enough to accommodate a toddler, next to some random person where it’s a dice roll between ‘normal’, ‘last had a bath in the late 80s’ and ‘got out of the mental hospital and no-one has noticed yet’.

Religion. I mean, seriously….WTAF.

People that refer to them-selves as “a professional” on sex sites.

Bad grammar.

Bad hygiene, think that’s goes for most to be fair.

People that like weird coffees because they’re trendy, “mocha kale spiced fig skinny latte”.. fuck off.

You are now banned from drinking Stowford Press ever again.

Repeat offences might see the Moles brewery or Wadworths on the chopping block next.

Also, people that don’t proof read.

No, I'm nicer. Nicest. Ever.

I popped some change in someone's coffee cup yesterday. Granted they were still drinking it, but I needed everyone to see me and my generosity.

Even put it in YouTube.

Once I get the “ick” it’s game over. Here we go:

- conspiracy theorists

- live laugh love

- “be kind”

- double denim

- dad humour

- people who wind others up on purpose

- weaponised incompetence

I haven't really thought about it before -

- definitely Disney adults

- school girl outfits

- adults who claim to be like 'Peter pan' and never growing up

- 'be kind' brigade, as they are usually worse than everyone else

So much more but I would be hung, drawn and quartered

Or if they're 'just saying what everyone's thinking/telling it like it is' as those people are usually saying the exact opposite of what I'm thinking or how I see things.
