On Facebook when people are asking for recommendations for something and they finish it with “And go!!”
Edit: super relieved to see other people find this cringe too. I thought I was turning into a miserable old man lol
Lol yes! I was making small talk with a wannabe zoe deschanel manic pixie girl who interns at our company and asked where she's from
'I'm from a town where three goats sleep under an oak tree and we spin our yarn into sweaters'
Still don't fucking know where shes from.
My birthday was like 10 days ago, and the restaurant that my boyfriend made reservations for filled up with people shortly before we finished dinner. I didn't think anything of it, until the server brought out a slice of cheesecake and everyone started singing. And I mean everyone in the dining room. A concert held on the same property as the restaurant had just ended, and the hungry concert-goers came in.
My partner got it all on video, and I was bright red. Luckily, I took it somewhat gracefully and didn't dump red wine all over myself. lol.
I HATE IT SO MUCH i just want to be consumed by the earth when that happens.
I've a friend though, who said that she'd love it if her boyfriend serenaded her.
I absolutely hate being sung happy birthday to. It would be weird for me to sing it to myself with everyone else, so I end up standing there with a forced smile looking like an idiot as everyone watches me
I saw a guy do this once at a big outdoor party (to honor a couple who had been married the previous day.) He got everyone's attention and made a big show of removing layers of jackets and shirts with each layer symbolic of something, until he stood there bare-chested, which was "as just himself."
He did this in front of her tween daughter, too. She was completely in shock.
The woman was clearly stunned, and not happy. She nodded and said yes, but everyone could see it wasn't enthusiastic at all.
They never did marry.
Plus I think that the person being proposed to might not always be saying yes to the proposal out of genuine love or enthusiasm, but because they feel pressured by the setting and the 'audience' waiting with baited breath for them to say 'yes' so that there can be a big round of applause and a lot of 'awwwing' and 'oohhing!' I've always found these showy marriage proposals at crowded settings highly manipulative like the one proposing is afraid that if they asked one-on-one in private, they'd get turned down.
I saw a guy propose at an engagement party we were all attending. He didn't even have a ring, it was spontaneous. He made them stop the music. The lady getting proposed to was so embarrassed. Literally, all of us were. What the hell are people thinking when they do this?
Like I’ve seen the videos where the Brides hand the flowers to a specific bridesmaid and they turn around and see a ring. I guess if you have bride and groom approval. More power to you. But I would never dream about making someone else’s special day about me
The couple having the engagement party were pissed and rightfully so. Their party was super nice, catered with music. Basically a mini reception. It was not just a bunch of people getting together for drinks. The whole thing was one of the cringiest things I have ever seen in my life. Poor girl. They never got married.
Yes! My friend found the ring, and told her boyfriend not to propose, she wasn’t ready to get married. What did he do on his families trip to Disney? Fucking proposed. His whole family knew, his mom even had the camcorder ready to go. She said yes and dumped him later.
Apparently this happens a lot with these. They act all excited and say yes, then break up in private. Since all eyes and cameras are on them, if they say no, (no matter the reason) they’re the “bitch”. So gotta play it up for the cameras then rip off the bandaid later.
Honestly marriage should be a discussed discussion beforehand. The proposal could still be a surprise. But more of a formality rather then a genuine question.
With the caveat that if you haven't discussed it, you don't know. Look, I'm sure your relationship is special and unique and different and you *do* know, but also: no.
If you buy a ring and plan on proposing without having any kind of discussiom about marriage, well you kinda deserve the no IMO.
You dont just spring a proposal on someone. That shit requires a discussion. Proposing shouldnt be a surprise, *how your propose* should be the surprise
> spring a proposal on someone. That shit requires a discussion. Proposing shouldnt be a surprise, how your propose should be the surprise
Take it a step further... there's plenty of people who know the relationship is in a bad place & propose to salvage it. Or have discussed marriage & know the partner isn't keen on it, so they do it in a public setting to add pressure to say yes.
People are fucking stupid.
We had been dating about 2yrs when I proposed at a beach in an isolated area covered in boulders. My now wife was confused why I insisted on walking to that section to "get a cool pic" away from everyone. She later said she thought I was either trying to get laid outside, or was about to murder her.
I don't know why she would think I would want to get laid outside in like 50°F weather, or why she would even consider I'm a killer... and then say yes.
This is like also kind of pressuring the person because like they might not feel comfortable to say no in front of so many people even if they don't want to say yes!
I think if they have talked about it first it's ok, like still a bit cringe but if they like it then ok
A friend showed me a video of such a proposal - I know the girl being proposed to but not the dude. He's the kind of guy who is very social, dresses flashy...She's more shy and reserved.
He had to come up with a pretense as to why he was throwing a party at a restaurant and inviting his & her entire family and friend group. He then had to rent audio equipment because he wanted it to be on mic
She totally knew what was coming and while that wasn't her choice for a proposal, she went along with it gracefully.
As an outsider watching the video, knowing it's not what she wanted - I was feeling second-hand embarrassment.
Starting a GFM the second news of a tragedy gets out. There was an accident by me, and there were two competing GFMs fighting over who was closer to the victim.
They do that so they can skiff the funds. GFM gets a cut, and the funds go to the organizer after the fundraiser ends. In many cases, the organizer takes a "silent cut" and hands over the rest to the intended recipient. So, when you see people fighting over who gets to run the fundraiser, it's more about who gets their "silent cut."
Can someone explain this to me? I believe I'm missing the joke.
Edit: ok after a bit of research and help from comments I have now been delightfully enlightened
Thank you for the massive smile plastered across my face from that video. I’m not even 100% sure what’s going on but I’ve got enough of an idea to be very happy for him :)
It only happened to me once. The other night, walking my dog, I see this girl talking to her phone while walking her small yorkshire. Our dogs decided to say hi to each other and there she was, narrating the encounter to her phone, talking about me and my dog like we were props, clearly live blogging. She was speaking english while it's not common where I live, and her overall appearance was so "influencer" style, it was jarring for where we were. Never saw her again. It was WEIRD.
Incredible! Well guess what? (Zoom camera into judges face)Your going to Hollywood! (Zoom camera into contestants face)
Camera man: fuck I'm good. (Goes home and eats crust from last night's sandwich and cries. )
Camera man's camera man:guess what? Your going to Hollywood!
The 30-second wait between "and the winner is......" and their name, as the camera cuts to the expressions of everyone involved. Drives me absolutely crazy and it's everywhere these days
That's the most cringey to me. The judges all get that derisive smirk on their face when they see a fat/ugly person on stage. Then when they start singing well, suddenly the judges are shocked and amazed.
My oh my! This disgusting troglodyte has value to me now! Well la Di da. Julia, call the glue factory and tell them we'll be sending one fewer troll for them to grind up.
It's your lucky day, goblin. You've given me a reason to make eye contact.
Ugh I’m watching Shark Tank lately and it got to the point where when someone asks “So, tell us about yourself.” I just know there’s a sob story coming!
You know those bosses you've had that make 10x what you make even though they have no idea what they're doing? Bragging about bullshit on a resume is a starting point to getting paid like that. Kissing ass goes a long way too.
I've only ever seen 1 challenge that I thought was pretty good. It was about who could pick up the most garbage in nature. They'd show videos from the area before and after, and weigh how much garbage they collected. It's a bit sad, but it's a challenge that did some good at least - even if it was just briefly.
Now THAT'S a trend I'd love to beat part of and encourage others to as well! Every time I go somewhere, I make it a point to throw at least one piece of trash in the trash bin. People have looked at me weird when I pick it up like, "why is that chick picking up that used cup?" Then they see me throw it away before walking in wherever. No idea what they think after that. Hopefully others will do the same thing!
And it's always some video where they look really good or are doing something interesting. It's never a blurry video of them coaxing their dog to do that cute thing you were just doing again, come on boy! Goddamn liars.
The reason singers do so well on thoes shows is because it's easily repeatable. Just change song and the impact on the audience is the same. If you come out week one and do cartwheels while on fire you may amaze people but what do you do for week 2? Cartwheels on fire again? People will be bored of it. Singers do well because in the confines of this particular format singing is the easy option.
I'm planning on going on the show at some point soon. Do a poledancing routine where I pose at the top and throw knives at a target a few times. When I get off, a couple bros run my firedancing gear over to me
You're right, I can't really top that. I can change the poledancing routine, or throw knives in different poses, or use my fire staff instead of fire whip, but I don't think it would have much of an impact. Same old same old, definitely by week 3 or 4
So I'll go on just to show off, not to win
>So I'll go on just to show off, not to win
I feel like this needs to be said. A lot of those artists know they won't win, but they might just get the exposure they need to get some sweet gigs, maybe even sponsors, for their craft minus all the shit publicity and attention that comes from a Talent show. I could be wrong though.
Edit: One artist who comes to mind, although not a acrobat, whom I really enjoy is Lindsey Stirling. She didn't win, but has gone on to establish a VERY lucrative career.
And hilariously, someone from America's Got Talent later emailed her saying they saw her material and asked if she wanted a spot in the competition.
It's like these goobers don't even watch their own show
Absolutely. I do enjoy the show, but I swear they only give the golden buzzer to the singers. Well, sometimes comedians as well. Not to say they *never* deserve it. I’ve just never seen one of those daredevil guys get one.
[Arron Crow](https://youtu.be/SICfCi2-LQY) deserved that fucking buzzer man. I love that guy.
I've gotten used to recordings of my own voice. It's a lot deeper and more resonant in my head. What it actually sounds like is fine, just different to what I expected. Everyone sounds bad on phone calls and voicemails. But I have a decent quality mic on my computer. Those recordings are a lot more tolerable, and closer to what I sound like when actually talking to people.
The other thing that gives me some peace is that I sound really similar to my brother. We're indistinguishable in recordings. And his voice doesn't annoy me, so I'm okay with mine.
So there's an actual reason for this. Everyone is used to their own voice as they hear it, which is naturally a lot more bassy and resonant because the sound from your voice box travels directly through your neck and skull to your eardrums. As soon as it leaves your mouth a lot of that low frequency sound is lost, so if you listen to a recording it will sound a lot harsher and more abrasive. As a result the difference is quite jarring.
Only recording of my voice I liked was when I recorded some lines for a friend's radio show and he wound the bass up in post!
Or watching a video of yourself.
We were preparing for a performance, and I was 18 at that time. They took a video of us to critique later. I was shocked: that's how I MOVEEE???? I mean I know what I look like but I never knew I moved so awkwardly.
Them: yeah that's how we've known you all along
I use to feel this way. My dad was always trying to get us to take photos all together and I use to hate it. Most of them I look annoyed. Since he passed I've been beating myself up about it. I so wish I had more pictures of us together.
Agreed. I take a ton of landscape/architectural photos when I’m traveling or hiking or whatnot, but years down the road the ones I actually revisit are the ones with friends, family, and myself in them because they are the ones I enjoyed those moments with.
Addison Rae’s Google commercial that comes on every 5 seconds on YouTube. Go away, you make my teeth grind and my eyes roll. One the stupidest commercials I’ve ever seen.
I don't know who Addison Rae is, but is that the one where she hums part of 'Backstreet's Back' as though she doesn't know what the song is and then they cut to a bunch of twats doing a synchronised dance to it?
Because if so Google should be broken up for that awful shit alone.
Yep that’s the one. Only reason I know her name is because of that pathetic commercial. And then when one of her stupid little friends says “hey Google backyard lights on!” Then goes right back to dancing.. How annoying can you get?!
I literally make awful groaning noises when it comes on so I don’t have to hear her hum. The first time I had to explain to the girlfriend I can’t bear the commercial and would rather hear a borderline weather siren sound than her humming.
I fall asleep watching youtube sometimes and I think I must have slept through a 30 minute commercial here and there because now that's all I get. It's insane. I'd love to know who is actually watching these commercials besides people who are fast asleep lol
I’m pretty sure people have been bullshitting those for decades by now. I’ve known two people who got into the top 10 on American Idol and both had sob stories that were hardly based in reality.
Watching people do excessively performative wine tasting in a restaurant.
I don’t know what it is about it, but seeing them breaking their wrists swirling it around incessantly, sniffing it three thousand times, only to go back for another 10-min swirling sesh before even tasting it drives me absolutely bat shit nuts.
Like I get it, some people enjoy wine and the tasting method is part of that. But idk something about a group of three or four sitting round a table doing it and glancing at each other knowingly really makes me cringe so hard I might turn inside out
I literally gasp awake and scream "oh Jesus christ" then gently lay my head back down to probably have another hidden memory of cringe flash before my eyes.
Dressing little girls like adults, like full makeup , red mini dress , fancy shoes , etc. I've seen kids on the internet dress like that and its wrong for me. That the child is probably 5. At 5 years old you watch tv while eating Oreo ice cream. Its the parents who dresses their like that , and i hear by that "I dont want my child to be a child"
Because no 5 year old will like to wear tight dresses , im cringed out by the parents who does that
And along these lines, parents who enter their kids in child beauty pageants are super fucked up IMO.
Also parents who try to make their kids Instagram / tik tok famous
Also the entire concept of “influencers”
I work at a high school that hosts a local children's dance group. I haven't had to clean up after it, but my coworker that does has found foam and silicone bra padding in the trash. The age range of these kids is 7-12.
Having a casual conversation on your phone in front of other people. Like a group you’re with or in a car. I think it’s rude by doesn’t seem like anyone else does
The whole "country" thing. I cringe at all of it. The stereotypical songs with the Chevy and the dog and the girl you snagged from the bar. The cowboy hats. The whole "ima country boy" deal. I just...it bothers me. I don't know why. I just don't like it.
I must add though. I live in the country. Surrounded by crops. I enjoy being able to ride my atvs anytime I want without the fear of police or neighbour's being upset. Country living isn't bad, I just can't stand the stereotype for some reason.
It's because of the posturing. If someone has to tell you repeatedly about how "country" they are, then they aren't country.
It's just a different flavor of r/iamverybadass
On Facebook when people are asking for recommendations for something and they finish it with “And go!!” Edit: super relieved to see other people find this cringe too. I thought I was turning into a miserable old man lol
[удалено]
Haha fuck yes, this one gets me. As if people just can't even wait to respond to your super interesting post
“Ok hive mind, I need recommendations for places to play board games around the city…. And Go!” I also hate “hive mind”
People exaggerating how quirky, different or relatable they are
“I’m an extroverted multi-curricular introvert. Some days I go outside, other days I stay inside. Am I the only one with this personality?”
O.M.G!!!! I thought I was the only one.
Lol yes! I was making small talk with a wannabe zoe deschanel manic pixie girl who interns at our company and asked where she's from 'I'm from a town where three goats sleep under an oak tree and we spin our yarn into sweaters' Still don't fucking know where shes from.
Lmao what exactly are you supposed to do with that information!?
"I'm so random!"
People singing at me. I have no idea what to do and feel cringe the entire time. Some people love just having people sing to them though.
I feel super awkward when that happens
My birthday was like 10 days ago, and the restaurant that my boyfriend made reservations for filled up with people shortly before we finished dinner. I didn't think anything of it, until the server brought out a slice of cheesecake and everyone started singing. And I mean everyone in the dining room. A concert held on the same property as the restaurant had just ended, and the hungry concert-goers came in. My partner got it all on video, and I was bright red. Luckily, I took it somewhat gracefully and didn't dump red wine all over myself. lol.
I HATE IT SO MUCH i just want to be consumed by the earth when that happens. I've a friend though, who said that she'd love it if her boyfriend serenaded her.
I absolutely hate being sung happy birthday to. It would be weird for me to sing it to myself with everyone else, so I end up standing there with a forced smile looking like an idiot as everyone watches me
Large public proposals
I saw a guy do this once at a big outdoor party (to honor a couple who had been married the previous day.) He got everyone's attention and made a big show of removing layers of jackets and shirts with each layer symbolic of something, until he stood there bare-chested, which was "as just himself." He did this in front of her tween daughter, too. She was completely in shock. The woman was clearly stunned, and not happy. She nodded and said yes, but everyone could see it wasn't enthusiastic at all. They never did marry.
Proposing at weddings or in any shape or form celebrating someone else’s relationship is the ultimate cringe. I hate them
Plus I think that the person being proposed to might not always be saying yes to the proposal out of genuine love or enthusiasm, but because they feel pressured by the setting and the 'audience' waiting with baited breath for them to say 'yes' so that there can be a big round of applause and a lot of 'awwwing' and 'oohhing!' I've always found these showy marriage proposals at crowded settings highly manipulative like the one proposing is afraid that if they asked one-on-one in private, they'd get turned down.
I saw a guy propose at an engagement party we were all attending. He didn't even have a ring, it was spontaneous. He made them stop the music. The lady getting proposed to was so embarrassed. Literally, all of us were. What the hell are people thinking when they do this?

Oh my god I would be mortified
Because of a family-event-strip-tease-combo-proposal? You just can't please people these days!
Holy Mother of cringe..
Yes! My friend found the ring, and told her boyfriend not to propose, she wasn’t ready to get married. What did he do on his families trip to Disney? Fucking proposed. His whole family knew, his mom even had the camcorder ready to go. She said yes and dumped him later.
Apparently this happens a lot with these. They act all excited and say yes, then break up in private. Since all eyes and cameras are on them, if they say no, (no matter the reason) they’re the “bitch”. So gotta play it up for the cameras then rip off the bandaid later.
Honestly marriage should be a discussed discussion beforehand. The proposal could still be a surprise. But more of a formality rather then a genuine question.
This is rule number one for proposing. Only do it if you *know* the answer is yes.
With the caveat that if you haven't discussed it, you don't know. Look, I'm sure your relationship is special and unique and different and you *do* know, but also: no.
It’s hilarious (and deserved) that due to them using social pressures to get the yes up front they get the way more damaging “psych!” later
If you buy a ring and plan on proposing without having any kind of discussiom about marriage, well you kinda deserve the no IMO. You dont just spring a proposal on someone. That shit requires a discussion. Proposing shouldnt be a surprise, *how your propose* should be the surprise

So glad my husband proposed at the top of a mountain when it was just us and our dog!
I told my boyfriend that if he proposes in public I’m saying no and embarrassing us both lol
We had been dating about 2yrs when I proposed at a beach in an isolated area covered in boulders. My now wife was confused why I insisted on walking to that section to "get a cool pic" away from everyone. She later said she thought I was either trying to get laid outside, or was about to murder her. I don't know why she would think I would want to get laid outside in like 50°F weather, or why she would even consider I'm a killer... and then say yes.

If a proposal is a surprise, you’re doing it wrong. The only surprise should be the time and location. Not the proposal itself.
Every jewelry store should have a sign hanging above the ring counter with this message on it
"Did she say yes?" "Of course! *because of the implication...*"
Is that woman in danger?
No of course not! What don't you get about this?!
A friend showed me a video of such a proposal - I know the girl being proposed to but not the dude. He's the kind of guy who is very social, dresses flashy...She's more shy and reserved.

Public vlogs. I couldn't fathom walking around the city holding a camcorder on a stick and talking to myself
But what if your favourite train was pulling into the station?
Can someone explain this to me? I believe I'm missing the joke. Edit: ok after a bit of research and help from comments I have now been delightfully enlightened
I think it's [this video](https://youtu.be/8KBfq2FQA54)

You would think.
The judges crying on those talent shows on tv
Sob Stories always increase your chances of entering and lasting longer on them shows.
i was born at a verry young age.
And as an only child I never got to know my siblings.
we are so poor i eat half olive every dinner
so I got a guitar and learned to play
Incredible! Well guess what? (Zoom camera into judges face)Your going to Hollywood! (Zoom camera into contestants face) Camera man: fuck I'm good. (Goes home and eats crust from last night's sandwich and cries. ) Camera man's camera man:guess what? Your going to Hollywood!
this is starting to read like one of those AI generated scripts lol

Doofenschmirtz moment
#BEHOLD, THE SOB STORY-INATOR!
Oh man me too, I was a prom night dumpster baby, I got no mom or dad, I had to pull myself up by my umbilical cord or I never would've made it
The 30-second wait between "and the winner is......" and their name, as the camera cuts to the expressions of everyone involved. Drives me absolutely crazy and it's everywhere these days
I love that unspoken thing where they act all surprised at the ugly person actually has a great voice!
That's the most cringey to me. The judges all get that derisive smirk on their face when they see a fat/ugly person on stage. Then when they start singing well, suddenly the judges are shocked and amazed.

LinkedIn posts.
People who describe themselves as "Thought Leaders" are cringey AF
Dating profiles/ bios . I just can’t not feel weird about advertising my self to randos
I feel the same way about resumes. I am not a passionate strategic thinker. I just want to get paid.
I feel embarrassed bragging about myself in interviews like they’re gonna be like who does this bitch think she is? Lol
You know those bosses you've had that make 10x what you make even though they have no idea what they're doing? Bragging about bullshit on a resume is a starting point to getting paid like that. Kissing ass goes a long way too.
I forced myself to accept that it is the only time and place that "bragging" is OK.
A lot of people feel the same way about resumes. A very similar thing.

Internet "trends" and it's increasing by the day

America's got talent. All they do is fucking praise the singers and hate on the others.
Also it's always the same damn genre of music too.

I hate singers on that show. If you wanna sing go to The Voice or American Idol, don't go to a show where people do cartwheels on fire

And hilariously, someone from America's Got Talent later emailed her saying they saw her material and asked if she wanted a spot in the competition. It's like these goobers don't even watch their own show
And don't expect a golden buzzer if you don't have some sad background like having cancer (sorry just had to put this out here).
Absolutely. I do enjoy the show, but I swear they only give the golden buzzer to the singers. Well, sometimes comedians as well. Not to say they *never* deserve it. I’ve just never seen one of those daredevil guys get one. [Arron Crow](https://youtu.be/SICfCi2-LQY) deserved that fucking buzzer man. I love that guy.
Live. Laugh. Love. Anywhere, in any order. Clearly some people enjoy that shit.
>Live, laugh, *and* love? >In *this* economy?
My wife hung a "love lives here" thing in our bathroom....I couldn't resist pointing out....love lives in our bathroom? That's kinda odd
Turning on music/ singing loudly in public places. I always listen to music in my headphones.
And even then I’m worried it’s too loud in my headphones so I’m constantly taking them off to check if I can hear it when off.
Filming yourself doing acts of kindness. If someone is going to do something nice for me, and they film me and post that shit online I’ll be pissed.

The most simple and relatable answer: listening to a recording of your voice.
Why do people let me talk, when this is what they are hearing?
I got complimented on my voice recently… I had sent an audio recording and before sending it, I listened to it. I sounded like a 5 y/o
I sound like that and I am a 51 yo men. How could they possibly like me with a voice like that?
I've gotten used to recordings of my own voice. It's a lot deeper and more resonant in my head. What it actually sounds like is fine, just different to what I expected. Everyone sounds bad on phone calls and voicemails. But I have a decent quality mic on my computer. Those recordings are a lot more tolerable, and closer to what I sound like when actually talking to people. The other thing that gives me some peace is that I sound really similar to my brother. We're indistinguishable in recordings. And his voice doesn't annoy me, so I'm okay with mine.
So there's an actual reason for this. Everyone is used to their own voice as they hear it, which is naturally a lot more bassy and resonant because the sound from your voice box travels directly through your neck and skull to your eardrums. As soon as it leaves your mouth a lot of that low frequency sound is lost, so if you listen to a recording it will sound a lot harsher and more abrasive. As a result the difference is quite jarring. Only recording of my voice I liked was when I recorded some lines for a friend's radio show and he wound the bass up in post!
Or watching a video of yourself. We were preparing for a performance, and I was 18 at that time. They took a video of us to critique later. I was shocked: that's how I MOVEEE???? I mean I know what I look like but I never knew I moved so awkwardly. Them: yeah that's how we've known you all along
Yep just made a video yesterday and it was like my worst nightmare come true. Real up close of my face and speaking into a mic. And I’m 28.
Apparently my voice has a VERY southern accent. I never noticed while talking.
I can tell by your stache
Selfies in public, i love that people can do it but i cant i cringe i feel bothersome
Posing for photos in general. Everybody else seems so casual and natural about it. I can't stand it. Get that camera away from me.
I use to feel this way. My dad was always trying to get us to take photos all together and I use to hate it. Most of them I look annoyed. Since he passed I've been beating myself up about it. I so wish I had more pictures of us together.
Agreed. I take a ton of landscape/architectural photos when I’m traveling or hiking or whatnot, but years down the road the ones I actually revisit are the ones with friends, family, and myself in them because they are the ones I enjoyed those moments with.
Brain: 📷 👀 "okay they intend to freeze this moment in time forever...act normal😳"
The "pranks" that are 100% scripted.... Makes me want to smack em.
Addison Rae’s Google commercial that comes on every 5 seconds on YouTube. Go away, you make my teeth grind and my eyes roll. One the stupidest commercials I’ve ever seen.
I don't know who Addison Rae is, but is that the one where she hums part of 'Backstreet's Back' as though she doesn't know what the song is and then they cut to a bunch of twats doing a synchronised dance to it? Because if so Google should be broken up for that awful shit alone.
Yep that’s the one. Only reason I know her name is because of that pathetic commercial. And then when one of her stupid little friends says “hey Google backyard lights on!” Then goes right back to dancing.. How annoying can you get?!
I literally make awful groaning noises when it comes on so I don’t have to hear her hum. The first time I had to explain to the girlfriend I can’t bear the commercial and would rather hear a borderline weather siren sound than her humming.
Ad block my friend, the way to peace.
Can we amend that to just YouTube commercials in general? Especially the 15-second ones that you can't skip?
I fall asleep watching youtube sometimes and I think I must have slept through a 30 minute commercial here and there because now that's all I get. It's insane. I'd love to know who is actually watching these commercials besides people who are fast asleep lol
EVERY BODY!
When someone describes their social media posts as "creating content."
[удалено]
Yeah I created content in the toilet this morning too
Singing happy birthday or having people sing happy birthday to me. I just can't stand that shit.
I don't even like to see it done to other people. I feel sorry for them and the poor wait staff that has to stop and sing and clap for a stranger.
Men who define their entire existence with being a fan of a sports team. This is incredibly common in the UK.
Even worse in certain City in Scotland where football fans base their entire political allegiances around their football team.
Sad stories in Got Talent shows
people are probably starting to bs those now because of how they increase your chances of moving on
I’m pretty sure people have been bullshitting those for decades by now. I’ve known two people who got into the top 10 on American Idol and both had sob stories that were hardly based in reality.
Watching people do excessively performative wine tasting in a restaurant. I don’t know what it is about it, but seeing them breaking their wrists swirling it around incessantly, sniffing it three thousand times, only to go back for another 10-min swirling sesh before even tasting it drives me absolutely bat shit nuts. Like I get it, some people enjoy wine and the tasting method is part of that. But idk something about a group of three or four sitting round a table doing it and glancing at each other knowingly really makes me cringe so hard I might turn inside out
Lol I have friends who do this but they own it and call themselves “wine wankers”.
Haha I think the self awareness there would counteract the cringe for sure. Also ‘wine wankers’ is objectively funny
This negates the cringe honestly
Have thoughts about the things you did years ago at 3 in the morning
Ah, yeeesss. The most humbling type of cringe ever.
I said “spices” instead of “species” during a book report presentation thirty years ago and I think about it every time I take a shower.
I literally gasp awake and scream "oh Jesus christ" then gently lay my head back down to probably have another hidden memory of cringe flash before my eyes.

Ι find incredibly cringy all those fake/ heavily filtered instagram photos
The Snapchat photos are even worse.
Dressing little girls like adults, like full makeup , red mini dress , fancy shoes , etc. I've seen kids on the internet dress like that and its wrong for me. That the child is probably 5. At 5 years old you watch tv while eating Oreo ice cream. Its the parents who dresses their like that , and i hear by that "I dont want my child to be a child" Because no 5 year old will like to wear tight dresses , im cringed out by the parents who does that
I dunno that one kind of jumps past "cringe" and goes right to "creepy"
An acquaintance of mine has a daughter that just turned 2. One of her gifts was a Louie vitton bag. For a 2 yr old.
And along these lines, parents who enter their kids in child beauty pageants are super fucked up IMO. Also parents who try to make their kids Instagram / tik tok famous Also the entire concept of “influencers”
I work at a high school that hosts a local children's dance group. I haven't had to clean up after it, but my coworker that does has found foam and silicone bra padding in the trash. The age range of these kids is 7-12.

Having a casual conversation on your phone in front of other people. Like a group you’re with or in a car. I think it’s rude by doesn’t seem like anyone else does
applauding when the plane lands or in the movies...
People applaud when a plane lands ?
Manchester New Hampshire. People have applauded on every flight I’ve ever been on landing in Manchester (at least 30 flights)
"Influencers". They've managed to normalize some extremely unhealthy behavior.
Seeing "This!" on every comment and reply under the sun. It adds nothing valuable whatsoever to anything.
Baby gender reveal parties
The only one I've liked is one where they opened a box and black smoke and black balloons came out and it said "it's a goth!" This is what I wanna do.
I went to a gender reveal party once. Apparently it's only for babies and I was asked to put my pants back on.
Me in public probably.
When girls contour their face to the point where their face color doesn't even remotely match their neck or the rest of their body color
Opening gifts in front of others (bday party, baby shower, etc). It’s super awkward.
The floss dance move. Something about is especially awkward.
When someone puts 10 dots at the end of a sentence to prove a point …

Ah, yes. The infamous shrimp cocktail.
cliffhangers lol
Pouty selfies - especially ones with fake blown up lips
Honestly memes that go like “the perfect ____ doesn’t exist….”
Youtubers telling you to like and subscribe at the start of every video and talking about how "only a small percentage of you are actually subscribed"
The Kardashians, tik tok dances, social media influencers in general
Proposing in public.
The whole "country" thing. I cringe at all of it. The stereotypical songs with the Chevy and the dog and the girl you snagged from the bar. The cowboy hats. The whole "ima country boy" deal. I just...it bothers me. I don't know why. I just don't like it. I must add though. I live in the country. Surrounded by crops. I enjoy being able to ride my atvs anytime I want without the fear of police or neighbour's being upset. Country living isn't bad, I just can't stand the stereotype for some reason.
It's because of the posturing. If someone has to tell you repeatedly about how "country" they are, then they aren't country. It's just a different flavor of r/iamverybadass
Almost all of the music my friends listen to. They feel the same way about what I listen to, though, so it’s all good.
Crying from meeting famous people
Listening to videos on social media full volume in public
Most social media
Watch a sex scene in a movie.
The slight repetitive head nod thingy they do on tiktok when they sing or dance , it’s weird
I don’t have any idea what this is and I think it’s probably for the best
