What ordinary thing gives you the Ick...?

[KSav]

Why? Are they chewing tobacco for an extra jolt of energy? Kind of gross, imo.

I'm not sure. I would assume for the extra energy/nicotine rush? I've never used tobacco other than a few illicit cigarettes in high school. But yeah, I find it gross to see them walking around with cups full of saliva and tobacco—although, as I said, it's better than just spitting on the ground, or the floor.

I don't like people mentioning gross things. Its almost as bad as the thing itself.

Neck tattoos.

Neck tattoos.

Ugh, you had to mention it.

Unfortunately it's common for people to walk barefoot in my gym typically from the yoga classes despite being clearly prohibited. Mid-session they'll come out and use the restrooms in bare feet!!!

DISGUSTING!

NFL players with gold chains and piercings. What's next? Are they going to start wearing tutus?

 

[Pappy]

Unflushed toilets. Last I knew we dont have a water shortage. Flip those levers people.

I;m very pleased I don't live in a country where chewing tobacco is a thing...

People talking with their hands.
Body odor.
Bad table manners.
People that constantly interrupt others.
People who look everywhere while you are talking to them.

the last one really gets on my nerves... plus those nowadays who are looking or glancing at their phones while you're speaking to them

 

[katlupe]

The smell of perfume or cigarette smoke.
Horns going off on cars parked in the parking lot.
People too lazy to pick up a piece of trash they dropped inside my building.
Along that same line, people throwing trash all over the streets and sidewalks and in local parks.

Is it just me or do you sometimes wish you could take the cell phone away from them & do something (drop, stomp, toss ... take your pick) with it?

 

[hearlady]

I don't know if it's too ordinary but things that come up on my feeds that you can't un-see. Like a red patch near someone's eye with bed bugs on it!

I don't wish to take the phone away..but I often wonder how adults can be so rude....

 

[RambleTamble]

Dust. I hate it.

Dust. I hate it.

hahaha...so cleaning would be your dream job...

 

[Lawrence00]

Sushi ... people really eat raw fish?

 

[Warrigal]

I don't think I have an ick.

As a teenager my motto was Nux vomicar, fake Latin for "Nothing makes me sick".

 

[BJintheUK]

Sushi ... people really eat raw fish?

I'm with you on that one! Horrible stuff.

When we first moved south in 1989 the local grocery store was full of things relating to guns and chewing tobacco. It has calmed down and I've never known anyone who chews although I worked with a woman who said her husband did.

Can't stand women who have had their lips puffed up. It looks so un-natural, and they look even bigger when they add lipstick. I wonder what the men think, so I asked my sons who said they hated the look. And what's with all that pouting when they see a camera?

Yes! And those super-long fake eyelashes that look totally . . . fake.

I have to add, too, those super-long fingernails. I assume none of the women with those wear contact lenses, or ever have to tie a shoelace, or do a lot of other things.

.. i am stronger than the Ick !!!
But sometimes, I have to whisper reassuring words to myself while performing a ceremonial spin in place three times clockwise.
For maximum effect, I stomp once, twirl twice, and point dramatically at the offending ordinary thing while chanting ...
"I banish thee, foul Ick" and declare victory over those ordinary horrors.
This has a guaranteed 82.7% success rate, unless the Ick is particularly stubborn, in which case I'll add interpretive dance.

Hollydolly: That's the look, it's disgusting, more like a baboon's ar*se, you know, the one's that go all red and hang out. .
