Everyone has silly ick’s, little things that your partner does that really just turns you off.
Here is a list of my personal top 10 silly ones…
When they bend down to tie their laces
I think this one is more common than you think. There is nothing more unattractive than watching your partner fumble over making Bunny Ears with their laces. It’s the way they get themselves into a shoe tying position too, scrambling to the side of the pavement. Their bag always slips from their shoulder on the way down. Gross.
When they can’t find the bathroom in a restaurant
Hear me out, I heard this one from a friend and they were so right, this is a big ick. Imagine, you’ve gone for dinner and they’ve got up to use the loo. They spend the next couple of minutes pacing up and down, poking their head into every corner of the restaurant before having to sheepishly approach a waitress for help. Once the waitress points the way, they have to do a little ‘oh, silly me’ giggle.
When they drink cider
This one is contested by a lot of people, but it really puts me off. Maybe on an exceptionally sunny day I can understand it, but at any other time, it’s a hard no. It’s sickly and icky.
When their favourite vegetable is a carrot
I am adamant that there are vegetables for adults and vegetables for children. Carrots are very obviously a children’s vegetable. Grow up and get a bit of kale down ya.
When they drive with one hand
Remember hands at ten and two. Safe driving is sexy. Bonus ick points if their free hand rests out of the open window.
When they have their airpods on a carabiner clip
They protect those airpods with their life. This one might be a bit of a jealousy thing, as I’m stuck with my free-wired ones. But, If you have airpods, just be cool about it. Sling them in your bag and don’t be showy.
When they still use Snapchat
There’s an unspoken hierarchy involved with social media. Snapchat is right at the bottom and for some reason, it just seems childish. Bonus ick points if they change the outfit on their avatar.
When they wear pop socks
A pop sock usually means a loafer, which just makes this one worse. There’s a certain ickiness to a trainer sock too. I don’t know what it is, but something about them wearing little socks. Ew.
When they use the word Xmas/Crimbo
I couldn’t take a man seriously if he crimbo-ed me. Horrible.
When they get excited about a takeaway arriving
They check their phone over and over, stalking their driver. They’re up at the door as soon as he parks up outside. As soon as they’ve got it in their hands, you are met with some sort of feral excitement from them. Calm down.
