It could be anything — something you just can’t stand at home, in the kitchen, at work, in relationships, airports, on public transport, highways, in traffic, grocery stores, restaurants — you name it. If it gives you the ick, we want to hear about it. No matter where or what it is, spill the tea!

MAGA is a cult, pure and simple. Dear Leader is always right about everything whilst thousands of professionals over the years have proved him wrong about most of what he says. Everyday he lies about his abilities and everyday it is proven he has very little idea about what he is doing. Very sad situation, America. Very sad :(

Self righteous people on social media sites, or places like boredpanda who feel the need to make every comment some how about their personal political biases. I mean, we get it. You didn't vote like other people did. You keep telling everyone about that like it's something special? Want a ribbon? Now, how do you feel about the actual subject matter being discussed or presented, and how the heck does your political choices have any bearing on why that cute cat is playing with a mouse?

The insults and mockery, regardless of politics, does not help around here either.
LillieMean 6 months ago
Angry for no reason? If you want to be blissfully ignorant, be that way, no one is stopping you. It's worth showing political dissatisfaction because letting politicians "run" politics hasn't worked in the past and it certainly doesn't seem to work now. Here, complaining hardly has much effect, but something has to be done, even if it's just complaining, because there is power in the crowd and when the crowd gets restless enough, things start to happen, and not necessarily anything good for the prevailing politics.

The term 'ick' seems almost self-defining. Not something I've come across outside of BP and similar media. Anyone using such a term would immediately and automatically be giving it to me.
And even within its own narrow confines, it seems that it's already being misused, like in the first post here, which is just something that the poster finds irritating or annoying. Doesn't "giving the ick" imply something that makes you feel ill or at least disgusted?

It's understandable to know what "ick" implies, I do agree it's unpleasant hearing it in the way it is used.

I, born in the USA, was 33 when I married my USA born 56 year old man. We have been married for 25 years now and still have no gold. Sometimes people actually marry for love despite a large age gap.

I realized last summer that I was a mílf. The attention from 18 year old boys just made me throw up in my mouth a little. It felt very wrong because I mostly felt maternal concern and irritation. If a man wants a young woman, it usually shows the man's immaturity and desire to shape an obedient wife for himself, or a desperate attempt to continue the Peter Pan life. Middle-aged women become invisible so I can understand how superficial attention can attract, but rarely do these relationships have a future. There are exceptions in different relationships, I myself am an example of how a relationship formed in youth can last. (We were both young and together for more than half of our lives).

Depends on the animal. I've met people who have had their late pets stuffed at a taxidermist. That's not the same has poaching a wild, endangered animal. That would be a huge red flag.
LillieMean 6 months ago
Yes, hunting trophies on the wall are creepy and not something to be proud of. What, you sat in the bushes and killed an animal with a gun. What an achievement... I read an article a few years ago about a woman who takes in dead pets and removes everything from them and cleans the bones, assembles the skeleton and gives it to the customer. It was pretty macabre, but in a way I understand because skeletons are beautiful. It would be pretty eww if someone had the skeleton of a deceased cat on their bookshelf.

There’s that whole category of people who (mostly) are antivxxers, homophobes, etc. The usual annoying mix. Them. They give me the ick. They give it to me so bad.
Booktok, too. I didn’t realise p**n was an acceptable form of “literature” now. And no, it shouldn’t be. It’s usually a stain on literature’s name, though there are some exceptions, like The Book Thief (beautiful book, btw).
All the new gen z/ gen alpha nonsensical trends: alpha males, rizzlers etc. I shudder to even type that out.

Edit: Ok I probably should make myself clearer. When I mentioned booktok giving me the ick, I didn’t mean the spicy literature some of you enjoy. I meant books like Zodiac academy which are filled to the brim with unnecessary descriptions of a*****t. Of the 25 or so chapters of zodiac academy, about 20 of them are just filled with shabby a*****t scenes; it’s less of a novel and more of a guidebook to r**e. Those are the books I’m referring to: Zodiac academy, Colleen hoover books, etc.

I have a whole book of erotic short stories. At least I like spicy literature. Well-written erotica is enjoyable to read, but unfortunately difficult to find.

Booktok is the "more useful" side of TikTok, a bit like book clubs back in the day. People share book recommendations and discuss books, at best. I don't have the app so I can't say more.

Both sexes do this. It would be appreciated if people cleaned up the toilet after themselves. Even if you have to take a roll of toilet paper and go get some soap from the sink to clean the seat, I will gladly wait a moment.

The smell of dirty hair. Some people have taken the advice not to wash their hair too frequently to the extreme. There are some women in my office who smell gross and they're nose-blind, so they have no idea. One came over to my desk to see something on my computer screen, and I felt sick to my stomach. I even had an occurrence where I got onto an empty elevator and apparently someone with dirty hair had been in there recently, because it reeked. Washing your hair every other day is one thing, but after a few days you should assume that it smells bad and could use a wash, even if you can't smell it.

Not shampooing isn’t about not letting water touch it. I’ve forgotten my shampoo at times and give my hair a very thorough rinse. Using conditioner only works well too. They aren’t “nose blind.” The smell attenuates and they don’t notice.
️Rando Panda (Submission author) 6 months ago
Nose blindness is the inability to perceive or distinguish specific odors after prolonged exposure. That is why we may not notice our own bad breath, body odor, etc.
