Here are more examples of the weirdest icks people have had about the opposite sex.
For some reason, we’re all a little obsessed with icks. Maybe it’s because they’re so darn relatable. Maybe it’s because we’ve been rewatching Friends since The Reunion and The One with The Ick Factor struck a chord? Maybe it’s because it’s amusing that only girls seem to feel it, which makes us feel overly picky and also slightly superior? Whatever the reason, it’s time for Volume 2 of the most common icks.
For those reading who don’t know what we’re talking about, an ick is an instant turn-off that, from nowhere and completely inexplicably, makes the person you’ve been pining after repulsive. Best summed up by the wincing emoji, icks aren’t far,r but they’re tough to shake. See how many of the following icks you can relate to!
No socks and rolled up jeans
What monster even wears shoes without socks?
Noisy eaters / biting the fork during a mouthful
It’s irrational, we know. We probably do it too, but that doesn’t mean we want to watch it.
Dressing gowns… fleece is the worst
I don’t want to date a grandpa.
Being excited to see you (yeah, don’t even ask)
Who wants that?
Them being the egg when playing crack the egg on the trampoline
Need we say more?
Walking around the shoe shop trying out a new pair of shoes
Ordering an online food shop
Waitrose or Ocado is the worst.
Android phones
iPhone all the way, baby.
Stalling the car
We stan a good driver.
Reaching down to pick something off the floor and banging their head on the table on the way back up
Ew.
Wearing a cardigan
We get it you care about being warm and comfy.
Being spun around to look at their hair in the mirror at the barber’s
What am I supposed to say when they show me the bak of my head?
Trying to put down a beach towel or picnic blanket, and it blows away
Ok, this one is embarrassing for anyone.
Panicking when getting on a rollercoaster
I need someone to comfort me, not the other way around.
Seeing someone cut their toenails
Uber gross if they don’t know what to do with them afterwards…
Running after a ping pong ball
Just cos we know how painful it is to be outpaced by a tiny plastic ball.
Walking about after having their turn bowling
Who made you king of the bowling alley?
Confidently singing the wrong lyrics to a song
The road trip is immediately cut short.
