Things That Make You Cringe

[Davin]

People who cough loud for a long period of time. Like the person in front of me now.

Shall I just chock to death in silence then ?  

No, I mean when you can't go two minutes without going into a coughing fit, not covering your mouth at all, then saying "I'm fine" when someone offers a cough drop. That's when you can choke in silence.

Caligula once said "If Rome had one throat I would slit it!"  so you're in good company.

About two months ago, some guy occupied one of the cubes next to me for a few days. He was equal levels of sitcom ridiculous and sitcom loud. When I put on my headphones to drown out some of it, he started stomping his feet as if in response. Because of how loud he was and his timing, I couldn't help shake the feeling I was on a candid camera show, but no one popped out to let me know I was.

Wooden spoons.

I like wooden spoons! 

I like my spoons with cookie dough on them.

Are there people that don't like cookie dough covered spoons? If there are, those blasphemous infidels must be punished!

Bud, thank you for making me laugh out loud.

I HATE it when I'm on public transpo (city bus, greyhound, train, etc) and someone goes into a coughing fit, I offer them kleenex or a cough drop, and they respond with 'Oh no, I'm fine, this is just a smoker's cough!' and they continue to happily wretch, gag and choke their lungs out all over everybody, without covering their mouth... and therefore covering all of us with a fine spray of spittle and whatever other goobywahs they have. Ack ack ACK!

Bud, thank you for making me laugh out loud.

Glad I could be of service.

Fun fact: Last year, the FBI classified juggalos as a gang.  Yes, really.

My husband loves ICP, but he doesn't paint his face or anything like that. If he wants to listen to them, he does it when I'm not around, as I have a prohibition on talentless gimmick bands.  I've listened to a lot of their stuff to be a good sport, but I just don't like it for the same reason I don't like Eminem rapping about killing his daughter's mother and putting her in a trunk.  I don't find it funny or cool in any context.

Totally, completely 100% with you on this.

Seconded.

Blues has a history of misogynist lyrics, there are some songs I'm uneasy with but Earl had it coming.

My sister's Facebook status updates.

She just posted my favorite one so far: "So wut we get drunk. So wut we don't sleep. We're just havin fun. We don't care who sees. So wut to go out. Cuz that's how its supossed to be. Living young and wild and free!!:-)"

She's 22 and has a 5 year old daughter.

You may cringe more, or less (depending on your musical preferences) but those are song lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/wizkhalifa/youngwildfree.html

It certainly makes me cringe. But it doesn't mean your sis is doing that stuff... per se.

Oh, I figured they were lyrics. She always posts horrible lyrics as her statuses. And my sister IS doing stuff. She goes out drinking almost every night while my dad and stepmom babysit my niece.

Aw, I'm sorry. That's discouraging, and it sucks. I guess if there's any upside to that, it's that your niece is spending lots of time with responsible, loving adults. It's just too bad one of them isn't your sister. Sigh.

Edit: I of course don't mean to suggest she doesn't love her daughter. That was poorly worded. I apologize. I just meant it makes me cringe when parents shirk their responsibilities regularly in order to have fun.

I just heard a doco (I don't know if doco is a universal abbreviation of documentary, it should be.) where kids were sent off to a meditation school in India at age six, came home at fifteen.  Sounds fucked up, I suppose if their parents were bizarre enough to send them away they may have been better off away from them.

Lots of things annoy me, but one of the few things that will make my physically cringe is watching movies or TV where people get their faces injured.  Seeing someone stabbed or shot in the gut is unpleasant, but something about watching someone get stabbed in the eye or burned on their face squicks me out big time in a way that other injuries don't.

Agreed.  Nothing really makes me cringe other than the thought of losing an eye.  I can't even stand having sharp objects near my face while I'm cooking just out of fear of an accident happening.

I had both my eyes cut open while I was awake to replace my lenses that had developed cataracts due to diabetes. It was actually quite interesting watching from the inside!

finger/toe nails being ripped off or peeled back. Oh man! Just made myself cringe.             I'm a tough guy and all, but anytime I see that in a movie, I nearly faint.

Just reading that made me cringe. *shudder*
