Hey Pandas, What’s The One Thing That Instantly Gives You The Ick? (Closed)
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!

Anything advertising you support MAGA. Hats, t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc.

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.

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.

People projecting their f-ing insecurities onto others and also being self-righteous about it at the same time. Ya know, classic bully complex; narcissism.

Super gross when adults project their insecurities onto kids. No, that little girl doesn't need to shave her legs just because Auntie notices her leg hair and is worried about bullying.

This may sound mean BUT partners with decades between their ages - old woman, young man or vice versa. Always make me think 'gold digger' or 'wants citizenship'......

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.

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.

My biggest ick is when people call without sending a text or without asking if I am available. I be like - would you read an email with a subject? Please tell me the purpose of your call, the reason and what we will be talking about....

LOL there was once a time where there was no emailing, no texting, not even call display! And YES, I would open emails without a topic in the subject line.

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.

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.
