What's one everyday thing that makes you cringe?

The one that gets me, thanks to working in a fairly old building that has fewer lavatories than modern regulations stipulate, is when I sit down and discover the seat is body temperature - an unpleasant reminder that some unknown cheeks were occupying the same position only a few minutes before my own. 🤧

When my ex-wife calls me because she can't get a boyfriend. I tell I'm in the past tense.

@Jnei
She helped you out. You should send her chocolates or something!

@Akfishlady Fortunately not, because at that time I'd have said yes.

Oh no!

I hate that too. I thought I was the only one with that issue? I've never mentioned it to people, because most of the time I get called crazy. I have a horrible habit of not looking before sitting down on the toilet in public restrooms. At my work we don't have the liners, and most of the women customers squat and piss all over the seat without cleaning it up. Then I'm told to hurry and use the bathroom when I ask to go quickly, and I never look to see if there is piss all over the seat. I move really fast and I find out someone pissed on the seat when I stand up. One day a woman pissed all over the seat and all over the floor! I had to bleach it all and mop it up before we opened the store. I guess the night crew didn't clean the women's bathroom at all. My boss found it in the morning.

I have a very bad habit of forgetting to check there's paper until after I'm done - and then having to rummage through my bag for old till receipts, chocolate wrappers, small-denomination bank notes or anything else that might suffice 🙂

@Jnei I check the toilet paper before I sit down now.

@Sarahroo29 I've spent 30 years trying to train myself to remember to check, but I still never do!

@Jnei Sometimes I forget to check.

That for as friendly as people generally are in Indiana, they magically turn into assholes when they get in their cars. No one here but me will let you merge, and the wave of thanks is a rarity.

I hope @Cherish isn't going to drive like that when we embark on our RV Tour Of America - as a cyclist, it'd be most embarrassing!

It could just be in Indianapolis. (I'm a cyclist, too. If you'd like to spend a day in Indy, let me know!)

@Nottheonlyone Definitely!

@Jnei You're doing an RV tour of the US, and didn't tell me?! This gives ailurophile sad. I'll just sit here, alone, in my semi-spacious rental home and cry.

Flossing. I say this only to share this standup comedy video clip: [cc.com]

I think maybe I won't watch that - it sounds gross!

@Jnei Oh, it's a comedy bit from Mitch Hedberg. It's not off putting.

@resserts Turns out I can't anyway - "this video is not available from your location"!

@Jnei Aw, nuts. I'll see if I can find it on YouTube or somewhere else.

@resserts if its Mitch I am watching

Being interrupted when I'm trying to speak. It's rude and inconsiderate. I've smoked too much weed in my life, my short term memory is shot. I'm lucky ? to be able to finish a thought when I'm able to speak straight through what I'm attempting to explain, when I'm interrupted, forget about it smh ?‍♂️ ?

@MrLizard ? ?

I hear you, Psuodisni. I have ADHD, am fast hobbling towards decrepitude, etc... My short term memory is... something. I forget what.

Interruptions are anathema. Unfortunately, I sometimes interrupt people, and I hate it when I do that. Sackcloth and ashes for me!

Getting up.

having to stick my hand in the garbage disposal 😮

I've got a touch of microphobe and bring a little bottle of 90%isoprohyl everywhere with me. I spray toilet seats before laying paper down even. LOL

I prefer not to use any loo other than my own, ideally!

That's why I got good at hovering !

My cringe-worthy event ? Other people's driving.

The fact that assholes are everywhere.

If we didn't exist all you other folks wouldn't look so good. Life is about balance. 🙂

All the men in my family served in the Navy. On board ship, there's never a ' cool stool'.

Being the one who's job it is to clean the seat where all of the unknown cheek's have been.

Someone blowing cigarette smoke near me and they are coughing and hacking away.
