[Misc] Things That Make You Go CRINGE

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The use of the word 'methinks'.

'Apropos of nothing'. The correct reply being 'well, **** off then!'.

'Cerainly, that will be absolutely no trouble at all'. I asked you for the bill. Why not just say 'yes', you verbal diarrhetic ****. It obviously is a massive problem, and you'd rather be updating your Grinder

*cough* Actually I think that flinch better probably describes my reaction to all this bollocks than cringe *cough*. So, my bad. <sigh>

Men who leave all the cooking to the wife nearly every day but pull out one signature dish for a dinner party and talk as if they are just picked up their 3rd Michelin star..

Very good! So true

Why oh why would Theresa May make a complete fool of herself in front of the world's press Corp. Can't she see it is toe-curling!

 

[Simster]

Actually, did anyone see Robbie Williams on the X-Factor on Saturday?

If you did you'll know what I'm talking about. The very definition of "cringe" right there.

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lense]

How are you with the word 'squire' ?

I must admit to using this with people I am familiar with, both in written and verbal form. I have a vague sense of it making me sound worldly, but I'm wondering now whether it just makes me sound like a catastrophic bell.

I used to as well but stopped when saw an old Harry Enfield sketch.. couple of middle class idiots talking to each other at a party.. "How are we then?" "Reasonable, Reasonable" . Then go on to use the phrase "drop of the old 4 star" when offered a whiskey..

Any away fans singing “Your support is ****ing shit” and that includes ours when we’re away, and while I’m at it, away fans singing” (name of town) is a shithole, I wanna go home, etc”.
Go then, go on, ****off , you won’t be missed, you boring, unoriginal muppet.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

People who say "you'll find this interesting................ no I bloody well won't

Toe rings and thumb rings.

You said it, Bushy, you said it.

[Knocky's Nose]

People who say "you'll find this interesting................ no I bloody well won't

What if it's BBC One's "Heir Hunters" calling you up, and they've just tracked you down to say your Great Uncle Algernon pegged it 2 years ago and you're the sole heir to his £4m fortune?

That'd be bloody interesting...

 

[alfredmizen]

Indeed. Missus T loaths him, but I find him quite amusing and not the least bit irritating

nor me

 

[alfredmizen]

Do you mean people who use the internet, or northerners talking about it, or southerners playfully mimicking northrners talking about it for low comedic effect?

'Appen my money is on the third option

option 3

come on mate , you lead with your chin posting that

Haha! Fairs.
Ironically, it was done with a lot of self awareness. Nearly all of my posts are believe it or not
Some on here (not you by the way) take my posts far too seriously .

 

[Weststander]

Old politcians (can be from any party), lying that they like pop bands liked by youth. Even their mere mentioning of band names sounds awful.

Seeing and hearing rudeness by some customers in shops and restaurants. Some people are simply unable to utter the words "please" and "thank you". I go out of my way to be extra polite to such staff.

 

[melias shoes]

‘Can I get an espresso please’

No you fecking can’t.....that’s why the person in front of you is employed........they will get it.

SHUT UP.

This.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Covers of songs in TV adverts.
Over emotive singing.
The last 20 years of commercially successful singer songwriters.
Adults on skateboards who are rubbish
Personalised number plates
Most of the words that have been added to the OED in my lifetime.
Fingernails down a blackboard.

So, ....

 

[Pevenseagull]

Food marketing and packaging.

'Happy Eggs', anything with a story behind it, everything by 'innocent'.


The word 'journey'

 

[The Clamp]

People talking/posting on social media etc too much about stuff that used to be regarded as private and personal. While I believe talking about things is vital and healthy there is a time and a place. Over-sharing is the phrase I believe?

Being introduced to someone who describes themself as a 'D.J.'
