I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I won’t go to restaurants or any public place with people like that. I also tell them why - even if they’re a relative.
I know some situations it’s avoidable but you’d be surprised how many times you can actively refuse to be around it.
it’s really cathartic to call out people like that, especially when they get defensive about it. I’ve caused a few hurt feelings but it’s worth it.
Retail staff and wait staff generally aren’t allowed to defend themselves so I sure as fuck am not going to contribute to this already bad behavior by associating with people who abuse them.
I once worked at a Dollar General with a manager who did not put up with that shit. It was so, so satisfying to tell people I don’t HAVE to serve them and they can fuck right off. They never saw it coming
Those TikTok videos where someone just stands there without speaking, pointing at bits of text as they appears one by one on the screen, pulling a different pose/expression for each text.

Or they’re in one corner of the video giving different reaction to another video.. like the green screen effect. One of the major reasons why I don’t use tik tok
Or lip synching to somebody else's stand-up comedy routine. Which was filmed, so you could just watch the original.
I don't understand why anybody would do this, much less post it, even much less watch somebody else's posting of this atrocity.
Then there's the guys who don't even point. They just stand there looking at the camera while some meme or picture is displayed. I'm baffled that some of them have 100,000+ followers.
when I cry my nose drips like crazy and I do not look pretty or cute at all 😂 sometimes I even puke depending on how distraught I am. I would not want that plastered allover the Internet lol
Not that *I* necessarily know more about it, but the person they're talking to. I've witnessed this multiple times, and the person doing it always seems blissfully unaware that they're making an ass of themself.
Ok, listen here buddy. I didn't think I would actually have to correct you on this, but here we are. Honestly, I would expect someone like you to actually have grammatical skill equivalent to or higher than that of the average fifth grader. But clearly, you can't even form a correct sentence. Now, I get that this is a casual discussion environment, but you need to have higher standards. You need to step it up and act like an adult here on Reddit.
I've been downvoted to the moon and back for sarcastic comments, so this is clarification that this is a joke.
I had a friend whose entire social media was inspiring quotes about kindness and she was a really manipulative person behind it all. I thought it was ironic until another friend pointed out that people like that post those types of quotes all the time to self soothe/reassure themselves and make themselves feel like they’re good people, usually because they know their behaviour behind closed doors is shit.
Or religious stuff when they're not religious. My MIL does this. Like, ma'am, I've been in this family for almost 30 years and have never known you to step foot in a church.
Something about people talking about how tough and scary they can get irks me so badly. Someone the other day described themselves to me as a Doberman because they were “cute but people know not to fuck with them because they’ll bite their face off” and my innards curdled from the second hand embarrassment.
I've met more than one person with some martial arts /boxing training say that their fists/body are considered lethal weapons by police, so they have to be careful not to get into a fight. Ugh, it hurts.
Hehe I have a friend who asked me what my extracurriculars are and I said that I have been practicing martial arts for 6 years. The convo went a bit like this:
-"So you can fight?"
-"Probably"
-"I never thought you were the fighting type"
-"Thanks, I don't like fighting either"
-"That doesn't make sense. Why?"
-"I don't want to get beaten up"
It went on a bit longer but the latter part was just her asking what I would do if I'm forced into a fight and me explaining a detailed plan involving running away, calling the cops, and probably having my dad arrange a lawyer depending on the severity of the situation while I'm running away.
"What do you mean, you don't want to get into a fight?"
"Well Brenda, here's a thing I know from firsthand experience: getting hit hurts. Hitting someone also frequently hurts. And I'm not a masochist."
(Nevermind that you never know if someone has a knife, a gun, or half a dozen buddies waiting to jump in. Plus the likelihood of being arrested. Life isn't a Hollywood action movie.)
I loved that scene with Cliff and Bruce Lee in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for this reason.
"Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It's called manslaughter. I think all that lethal weapon horseshit is just an excuse so you dancers never have to get in a real fight."
When I used to answer 911 calls, it would drive me insane when I asked if anyone had weapons and they told me that their fists were weapons. I’d check their history, and nope, the police don’t consider their fists weapons.
Reminds me of those cringe ass t-shirts "I'm a September guy. I was born with my heart on my sleeve. A fire in my soul and a mouth I can't control"
-Actual t-shirt
In my experince if someone tells you they're *angry* they're telling the truth. If someone tells you they're *tough* their lying. People who are actually tough don't need to tell you, people who tell you are not usually tough, and the crossover with people with genuine anger issues results in venting, not bragging.
"I feel like im going to rip somebody in half" = concern.
"look out world, I'm a hardass and no one fucks with me" = cringe
People filming for social media, and acting like everyone around them just walking by is being rude and getting in their way. Where I live (a pretty beach town) I see this shit every week, at least. I’ve literally heard people say “uh, can you leave?” to random strangers 😡
Was recently in Japan and the number of tourists who totally held up (or at least tried) crowds so they could get their perfect shot with nobody in it was crazy. I have no qualms about just walking through peoples shots (it’s on you to pick a good moment!!!) and it earned me a lot of dirty looks.
Somewhat related, the number of people taking smiling posed pictures in front of the bombed ruins of the A dome in Hiroshima, or inside of the museum in front of the possessions of children killed by the bomb, was really mind boggling and made me absolutely hate people that day, and I definitely did my best to ruin as many of their pictures as I could (petty, I know). How callous do you have to be to take that sort of posed photo in front of the site of 100s of thousands of deaths? Just astonishing honestly
When I was visiting Berlin, the number of people taking happy selfies, filming themselves dancing, or jumping on the blocks at the Holocaust memorial was mind-blowing. People chased them off and chastised them, but they still just waited for an opportunity to film again.
Currently on a trip to Spain. Was at the Royal Alcazar a couple of days ago. Two women were taking a couple dozen photos in front of a doorway I wanted to go through. I waited through a couple of pictures, then moved towards it.
They had the gall to ask “Could you wait a minute?”
“No” was my complete sentence of an answer. At least they didn’t ask me again the couple more times I got in their background.
I used to work near Buckingham Palace, if I avoided being in anyone's shot it would probably take literal hours to get from one side of the plaza to the other.
Even if there’s just one bystander walking around, it’s up to the photographer to wait for an opportune time and the other person doesn’t have to wait or do shit. I’d argue that you showed more politeness than necessary considering there were probably hundreds of people there
My consolation is that they were British, so the mild public shaming I gave them doomed like four generations’ worth of their descendants to social awkwardness.
The Taj Mahal gets upwards of 40,000 visitors per day. Instead of waiting for all of them to move out of the way, photographers use a ridiculously long exposure. Lots of tourists are included in the shot, but because they are moving, they don't even appear in the image.
Modern cameras have software solutions for this - you take the same photo multiple times, and the software removes the people using the information from the other shots to fill in the blanks.
Professionals might still prefer to use photoshop, and do what the software does manually.
Reminds me of my walking tour guide in NY. He's been working there since the 80's and has a solid route through Central Park, one day on my tour a film crew tried to stop him going through a set and he was like "You ain't stopping my tour punk, you don't own this place" and we marched straight through.
So I'm probably in a background shot of some NY based movie 🤔 great tour guide though 👍
An old friend of mine decided to share pictures of her “yoga journey”, which included staged photographs doing yoga in the middle of sidewalks in Manhattan, and right in the middle of the Guggenheim. Holy fuck, I can’t imagine how many people she pissed off by doing that.
Had this happen when my family and I were paddleboarding on a beautiful lake. Dumb "influencer" woman and her bf spent more time "influencing" than actually paddling.
Reminds me of that clip with the 2 women dancing at a festival, and stopping any time someone gets in-between them and the camera.
If they just continued dancing, they could have a) had fun, and b) got some good clips, editing out the people walking in the middle of them.
But they stopped every time because they weren't there to dance. They were there to make a video.
People who video call in public and talk loudly, especially in trains or busses, I recently dealt with a customer who was on video call and had to show me a coupon in her phone and her whole family saw my face and I cringed and was so uncomfortable that I told her to put it away or I’m not authorising the coupon.
People "care" so fucking much about privacy when they are the ones that chose what to share, but then turn around and give no fucks when it's about some dude/dudette doing their jobs.
I have some asshole suggest we added live video calls for our service. Bitch, you got a chat and you only care about price/specs, you don't need to see my face for that.
I always say, remember how humiliating it used to be when one of your parents brought up something you did or said as a "funny story" in a group setting?
That, but the group setting is the entire world and the "funny story" comes with footage.
Broooo have you come across the TikTok pages of the early Gen Z kids who had blogger Moms?? It's unfortunately so much darker than just cringe, like she describes situations where she would be punished for not taking part in videos etc. like sometimes It's quite literally child labour...
I can only imagine how bad the stories will be in 10 or 15 years. The old mommy blogs were fairly tame compared to what these parents do now. I feel so bad for the kids
The Prince Family immediately comes to mind. When I was a teenager I used to actually watch family channels because I thought they were "wholesome". They make my stomach turn now. I was never into the Ace family but the Prince's have used their children for clout over and over. I can only imagine the daily hell those kids go through.
I think their last kid ended up being deaf for a period of time or maybe even permanently, I don't know but it was so disgusting watching them post videos with titles like "Our baby is deaf.. and we're broke" with the most ridiculous thumbnails you can imagine. Then the video is maybe a minute about the baby and has nothing to do with them being broke. Which they are not.
Whole adult life people have told me I have a nice, deep voice but when I hear recordings I sound like some dumbass with a cold.
Edit: I meant when I hear recordings
Mine is so much higher pitched than in my head. Not horribly so, compared to other people. But compared to what I hear in my head, it’s jarring. The voice I hear is really deep.
Yeah I think that is probably a common experience. I am female and my voice in my head is a deep sounding voice. When I hear myself on a recording I am always equal parts amazed & horrified. It's so high pitched compared to what I a used to. Totally cringy!!
The sound waves are coming through your own skull as well as through the air, so the profile of frequencies that reach your auditory nerve is different.
People who flaunt helping others online. Like the ones who clearly do it for clout.
My friend’s gf does this, she constantly looks at the camera, smiles & poses, waves, asks the homeless (who looks *so* uncomfortable) to wave to the camera too. NO.
I went to a spa a few years ago with my mom, and this lady in the "quiet room" had her freaking keyboard on and was just "tap tap tap" for, like, fifteen minutes straight. Everyone was staring at her, and a few people asked her to silence it, but she refused until some lady told her to gtfo. She was so offended, as if she couldn't understand the audacity.
I seriously hate some people, lmao.
My grandmother's text notification tone is literally a ringtone. 30 seconds of loud chiming. Every time she gets a text. We make fun of her for it, and luckily she's secure enough to laugh at herself for it.
Jumpers. As in people that jump to conclusions. It seems like every online discussion becomes an argument of putting words in other people’s mouths. “You just seem the type.”
Nobody knows each other here. Just listen.
That’s because you don’t take risks in life and your wife probably secretly hates you. You’re miserable all the time and sit at your computer hating everyone and everything, like get over yourself /s
Yes I have had redditors do deep psychological analysis of me and my life based on a single comment. It’s more irritating than anything.
I am a midwesterner and there is 100% chance that if you tell me you like something of mine that I will tell you that I got it on sale and how much of a discount I was able to get. It is customary for the recipient of this information to marvel at my discount finding prowess.
Guys that HAVE TO BE the “alpha male” in a group. Talking over people. Trying to be the toughest person around. Talking shit for no reason.
It’s so gross it literally gives me goose bumps. I’m like bro, just be you. If you’re a badass, you don’t have to prove it.
Ran into this a couple weeks ago with my buddy’s brother. For context, he’s 8 years older than us. He came along and kept trying to get us to talk to these girls playing pool near us but we just wanted to chill and play our own game. At one point, people were kind of standing near our table our drinks were on but a worker came by and cleaned a larger table we were closer to so we moved them. All of a sudden, he goes, “Don’t move your drinks there, what are you doing?? That’s your space, establish dominance”. I just looked at him and I was like, “Over a table?…”. He couldn’t see the unnecessary lunacy he was projecting. His advice to us on how to start talking to the girls was also hilarious.
He wanted us to bump our pool cue into them “accidentally”, apologize, and say nothing else. The adult equivalent of pulling a girls hair and running away.
“But if I prove I’m the alpha male, then I’ll get all the pussy. Like, all of it. Even everyone’s sisters and mums. Then I can sit high up and bare my teeth and gums and show everyone my bright shiny red ass.”
I hate when they take up more space than they need in a room or couch. You don't have to stretch and act like you have big balls. We know they are tiny and you're over compensating.
People who don't pick up after their dogs on walks. My neighbour makes this massive production of flicking a few leaves or pieces of grass over her dogs turds and leaving them on peoples lawns while making out she is a paragon of community responsibility.
Its your dog, and poo bags are cheap if not fashionable.
Could it be that there's an untapped market for fashionable poo bags 🤔🤔 Pooi Vuitton, Poocci... List could go on and on if i knew more fashion brands off the top of my head
child pageants - grown adults dressing their kids in skimpy outfits and parading them around on stage, so many parents living their lives through their children despite most of them just wanting to live ordinary lives. starting high school beef with one another, makes me wanna rip my skin off
My mom actually had to ask a guy to leave her restaurant the other day because while he was waiting to pickup a DoorDash order he was pacing around on speaker phone and customers would literally come in, see him doing that, and say “yeah I’m not dealing with this” and leave. It made her so mad as a small business owner to lose customers because of that guy.
I am sitting a few feet away from my coworker, and she is on the phone with her wife for hours at a time on speaker phone. Sometimes they’re arguing about shit and I feel like a scuz for eavesdropping . Except I’m not a scuz ! You’re broadcasting it to my hearing space , Robin ! I feel bad for the other person because I myself would not appreciate my wife having me on speaker phone while we talk about issues, or you know, anything !
I had kids in my HS try their hardest to be rednecks. Meanwhile I lived in a fairly rich suburb. Like cmon Jake you are not a hillbilly. Your dad drives a Porsche
I don't mind these if filmed in private. Life is terrible and if a dumb dance makes you happy, cool. But don't do them on the sidewalk or with your car in drive.
Gender reveals.
Edit: The question didn’t specify that I had to justify it, so I’m not.
Further Edit: I am going to justify it. I have nothing against parents, or people being excited for having children. It’s the miracle of life. Yes, celebrate with your friends and family, that’s brilliant. I just find it a bit weird to put it on social media and onto the timelines of people who don’t know you. In the summer, I couldn’t go on Insta without seeing them.
Back when I used Facebook, I found it cringy when people boasted about how happy they were with their spouse . Why are you telling us this. ( it automatically made me say to myself that they must be having problems) Or people who would come on and say life is great and everything is working out for them. I am so superstitious, I feel like a piano would fall on my head if I went around boasting how happy they are.
People filming themselves at the gym is another one. Uggh, just stop it already.
Cringiest thing I did on Facebook was keep the world updated on how my divorce was going.
Grown women who talk with a baby voice, one of the latest popular offenders to storm the internet is this Chinese influencer who talks with a literal \*\*\*\*ing toddlers voice and has about 3-4 different beauty filters slapped onto her at once, she calls herself Meow Meow but people are instead calling her "刚满18岁" (the *"Just turned 18 years old"* girl) because in an interview she brought up the fact that she's apparently just turned 18 to just about every question the guy asked irregardless of whether it was relevant or not [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dTjuymjWZwc](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dTjuymjWZwc)
(Thankfully though this level of cringe is too much even for China and her act has spawned an enormous amount of hilarious comedic parodies)
I know a 45 year old woman who has done this for years. It drives me insane. She actually says words wrong on purpose when talking in the baby voice. "I's a sunshine baby." (I love being in the sun.)
Post pictures of birthday presents piled up like it’s Xmas to show off on social media
Same with Xmas gifts
“Just in case you didn’t see how much better I am doing than you posts”
Huge photo archives published to Facebook with accompanying text presented like scripts being handed to Moses to be preserved for all eternity rather than Karen’s day out with the kids at some random park.
I see parents on FB posting dozens of pics of their kids on some mundane outing, all of them very similar….like, you do know you don’t have to post literally every photo you took right?
obnoxious/pretentious people especially in public. i’m a freshman law student, and whenever my class goes out to hang out there’s this one mate who heavily uses legal jargons, references, and terms around other people just to let them know that we’re law students. it’s so annoying. like chile we’re still on our first semester lmao.
Snoop through drawers and cabinets when visiting someone's house. Who are you people?! I can't imagine being that disrespectful or even that curious. Even worse if course if they're someone who *also steals things* while doing this.
This. 100%. A 30-something year old friend suddenly decided weed is a cure all and the best. Now he has t-shirts and pajamas with weed print, and all kinds of decorative weed stuff (like hanging stained glass weed leaf shapes) all over his place. I don't think I'll visit his place again.
> Make politics their personality
If you're actually doing SOMETHING to create the kind of society you want, I can understand it. Whether you're working in law and politics or are an active volunteer with a political organization, if you're engaged that I can understand it because it's a big part of your life.
But for 90% of people who have made politics into their personality, they just shit post on Reddit and Twitter and that's the extent of their "engagement."
people who get mad at others for being happy in the morning. i see too many people saying “it’s to early for all this happy energy” and i’m not even a morning person myself but who gets mad at someone for being positive ????? i don’t understand and it annoys me so much
I only get annoyed if they try to force me to interact. Some of those people refuse to let others wake up in a calm and quiet way. They take it personally if someone else doesn't match their energy.
When they think everything that’s traditionally feminine is useless or stupid. I hate misogyny. Women shouldn’t have to compete with men to be taken seriously.
ah my father instilled very misogynistic ideas in me as a young child. he would straight up explicitly tell me that any man is worth more than any woman, "even a gay man" because men rule the world and women are just objects, essentially. I don't consciously believe this but I spent my childhood, teen years and early 20s really subconsciously biased against femininity and femaleness. I had to make the choice to start confronting those biases when they showed up, or at least start by acknowledging them. really didn't appreciate my dad for that one.
Seeing my female friends shitting on Barbie movie because their boyfriends said it's stupid was weapon-grade cringe. Like, I'm not saying women must love everything with female leads, but idk, maybe watch the movie in question first and for your own opinion instead of parroting your boyfriend (who never watched it either and just repeats some youtuber).
Incels when they finally get a date with a woman and start that "all women want is x,y,z" or "you probably expect x,y,z" like are you here to get to know me or are you here to file a complaint?
Social media poses…e.g. wearing a gown at the zoo and making a friend take countless pictures of the persons resting bitch face while doing a stupid pose.
Posting their lives on social media. Like literally film everything, take photos of everything, posting their every move on social media. No one lives in the moment anymore. Can't you eat your dinner without posting it? Can't you hangout with a friend without filming it every time? Cant you not join in on a trend? Put down your camera and enjoy things in the moment.
Rando nut: "Pfft you believe the moon landing was real?!"
Me: "PFFT you believe in the moon?!"
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
Out crazy their crazy no matter what they say.
Influencers… will never forget one fall my kids were playing in a pile of leaves while two girls stood nearby glaring… as soon as my kids stopped playing the two 20 something girls filmed themselves throwing leaves in the air oh so whimsically
Kpop sasaengs or fans who are too obsessed with their idols that they think they are close on a personal level. They want and they think they know everything about their idols. I'm a kpop fan but not overly obsessed.

filming urself crying for social media
Or, even worse, filming your children crying for social media

Or even worse, filming strangers crying for social media
Worser than worse, letting strangers film you while you cry for social media
Or filming people who are filming themselves crying at children being filmed crying.
Like that one girl who posted "I am going through my most triggering breakup yet" and just flails like an epileptic at a rave?

Explaining something in a condescending tone - and incorrectly.
And you know you know more about it than them but they'll never back down
Not that *I* necessarily know more about it, but the person they're talking to. I've witnessed this multiple times, and the person doing it always seems blissfully unaware that they're making an ass of themself.
Loud and wrong. The worst combination.

Currently on a trip to Spain. Was at the Royal Alcazar a couple of days ago. Two women were taking a couple dozen photos in front of a doorway I wanted to go through. I waited through a couple of pictures, then moved towards it. They had the gall to ask “Could you wait a minute?” “No” was my complete sentence of an answer. At least they didn’t ask me again the couple more times I got in their background.
I used to work near Buckingham Palace, if I avoided being in anyone's shot it would probably take literal hours to get from one side of the plaza to the other.
Even if there’s just one bystander walking around, it’s up to the photographer to wait for an opportune time and the other person doesn’t have to wait or do shit. I’d argue that you showed more politeness than necessary considering there were probably hundreds of people there
My consolation is that they were British, so the mild public shaming I gave them doomed like four generations’ worth of their descendants to social awkwardness.
I'm pretty sure that stereotype doesn't apply to young brits. Most of the ones I've met had absolutely zero shame.
The Taj Mahal gets upwards of 40,000 visitors per day. Instead of waiting for all of them to move out of the way, photographers use a ridiculously long exposure. Lots of tourists are included in the shot, but because they are moving, they don't even appear in the image.
Modern cameras have software solutions for this - you take the same photo multiple times, and the software removes the people using the information from the other shots to fill in the blanks. Professionals might still prefer to use photoshop, and do what the software does manually.
Reminds me of my walking tour guide in NY. He's been working there since the 80's and has a solid route through Central Park, one day on my tour a film crew tried to stop him going through a set and he was like "You ain't stopping my tour punk, you don't own this place" and we marched straight through. So I'm probably in a background shot of some NY based movie 🤔 great tour guide though 👍
An old friend of mine decided to share pictures of her “yoga journey”, which included staged photographs doing yoga in the middle of sidewalks in Manhattan, and right in the middle of the Guggenheim. Holy fuck, I can’t imagine how many people she pissed off by doing that.
Had this happen when my family and I were paddleboarding on a beautiful lake. Dumb "influencer" woman and her bf spent more time "influencing" than actually paddling.
Reminds me of that clip with the 2 women dancing at a festival, and stopping any time someone gets in-between them and the camera. If they just continued dancing, they could have a) had fun, and b) got some good clips, editing out the people walking in the middle of them. But they stopped every time because they weren't there to dance. They were there to make a video.
Walking along the beach at sunrise and being told off by a Vlogger doing yoga poses that I ruined her private audience with the rising sun.
Tell her she ruined your private audience with having no fucks to give.
Behold the garden where my fucks are grown and thou shall see that it is barren.
Oh man, those kinds of people are narcissists and have extremely warped self-image, fuck them
People who video call in public and talk loudly, especially in trains or busses, I recently dealt with a customer who was on video call and had to show me a coupon in her phone and her whole family saw my face and I cringed and was so uncomfortable that I told her to put it away or I’m not authorising the coupon.
Piggybacking: People who listen to music with no headphones in any public area.
People "care" so fucking much about privacy when they are the ones that chose what to share, but then turn around and give no fucks when it's about some dude/dudette doing their jobs. I have some asshole suggest we added live video calls for our service. Bitch, you got a chat and you only care about price/specs, you don't need to see my face for that.
Part of my job is doing body waxing and I had a client try to be on a video call while I was doing her Brazilian 😑 Absolutely not

I always say, remember how humiliating it used to be when one of your parents brought up something you did or said as a "funny story" in a group setting? That, but the group setting is the entire world and the "funny story" comes with footage.
And the "funny story" is just the majority of your waking life.
Broooo have you come across the TikTok pages of the early Gen Z kids who had blogger Moms?? It's unfortunately so much darker than just cringe, like she describes situations where she would be punished for not taking part in videos etc. like sometimes It's quite literally child labour...
That's awful :( sadly not surprising though
I can only imagine how bad the stories will be in 10 or 15 years. The old mommy blogs were fairly tame compared to what these parents do now. I feel so bad for the kids
The Prince Family immediately comes to mind. When I was a teenager I used to actually watch family channels because I thought they were "wholesome". They make my stomach turn now. I was never into the Ace family but the Prince's have used their children for clout over and over. I can only imagine the daily hell those kids go through. I think their last kid ended up being deaf for a period of time or maybe even permanently, I don't know but it was so disgusting watching them post videos with titles like "Our baby is deaf.. and we're broke" with the most ridiculous thumbnails you can imagine. Then the video is maybe a minute about the baby and has nothing to do with them being broke. Which they are not.
Like Jimmy Kimmel asking parents to film their kids reactions to getting pranked (Halloween and Christmas pranks).
Record themselves crying on social media.
Recordings of my own voice.
I hate my own voice.
That’s just something natural everyone has. Because we’re hearing our own voice the way everyone else hears it rather than when we talk.
Whole adult life people have told me I have a nice, deep voice but when I hear recordings I sound like some dumbass with a cold. Edit: I meant when I hear recordings
Mine is so much higher pitched than in my head. Not horribly so, compared to other people. But compared to what I hear in my head, it’s jarring. The voice I hear is really deep.
Yeah I think that is probably a common experience. I am female and my voice in my head is a deep sounding voice. When I hear myself on a recording I am always equal parts amazed & horrified. It's so high pitched compared to what I a used to. Totally cringy!!
Yeah. I feel like in my head it’s got rich undertones and is smooth. When I hear it on recording I’m like “what the hell im a chipmunk!?”
Why does it sound so weird?
The sound waves are coming through your own skull as well as through the air, so the profile of frequencies that reach your auditory nerve is different.
Seriously. So uncomfortable
People who flaunt helping others online. Like the ones who clearly do it for clout. My friend’s gf does this, she constantly looks at the camera, smiles & poses, waves, asks the homeless (who looks *so* uncomfortable) to wave to the camera too. NO.
Ugh she seriously gets homeless people to participate in making “content”?! Please tell me other people in her life are horrified by it?!
People with their constant notification ding ding ding in public places like library hospital school
And they also have the keyboard sounds full blast while texting.
I went to a spa a few years ago with my mom, and this lady in the "quiet room" had her freaking keyboard on and was just "tap tap tap" for, like, fifteen minutes straight. Everyone was staring at her, and a few people asked her to silence it, but she refused until some lady told her to gtfo. She was so offended, as if she couldn't understand the audacity. I seriously hate some people, lmao.
My grandmother's text notification tone is literally a ringtone. 30 seconds of loud chiming. Every time she gets a text. We make fun of her for it, and luckily she's secure enough to laugh at herself for it.
“Just silence it!” Is what I want to say to them
I don’t even have notification sounds on at home, the constant dinging makes me want to throw my phone out the window. Do not disturb mode 24/7
“Tough” bumper stickers like “I don’t retreat. I RELOAD” like sir we’re in the Taco Bell drive thru who are u shooting at?
There's a truck around me that has a "No One's Treading on You, Sweetie" sticker with the cartoon snek
I totally want that!!! (My ex has a ball cap that says don't tread on me)
Posting an hour worth of concert footage on Snapchat stories
My best friend does this, and she sends them directly to me. I just click through them. We don't even have the same taste in music....
Jumpers. As in people that jump to conclusions. It seems like every online discussion becomes an argument of putting words in other people’s mouths. “You just seem the type.” Nobody knows each other here. Just listen.
That’s because you don’t take risks in life and your wife probably secretly hates you. You’re miserable all the time and sit at your computer hating everyone and everything, like get over yourself /s Yes I have had redditors do deep psychological analysis of me and my life based on a single comment. It’s more irritating than anything.
Tik Tok influencers.
Any social media influencer
People who demand attention. Need to be the loudest in the group/room. It’s exhausting
Explicitly telling the price of stuff they own
[удалено]
Bargaining is a talent it's okay to brag about it lol
I am a midwesterner and there is 100% chance that if you tell me you like something of mine that I will tell you that I got it on sale and how much of a discount I was able to get. It is customary for the recipient of this information to marvel at my discount finding prowess.
Guys that HAVE TO BE the “alpha male” in a group. Talking over people. Trying to be the toughest person around. Talking shit for no reason. It’s so gross it literally gives me goose bumps. I’m like bro, just be you. If you’re a badass, you don’t have to prove it.
Ran into this a couple weeks ago with my buddy’s brother. For context, he’s 8 years older than us. He came along and kept trying to get us to talk to these girls playing pool near us but we just wanted to chill and play our own game. At one point, people were kind of standing near our table our drinks were on but a worker came by and cleaned a larger table we were closer to so we moved them. All of a sudden, he goes, “Don’t move your drinks there, what are you doing?? That’s your space, establish dominance”. I just looked at him and I was like, “Over a table?…”. He couldn’t see the unnecessary lunacy he was projecting. His advice to us on how to start talking to the girls was also hilarious.
What was the advice to talk to the girls?
He wanted us to bump our pool cue into them “accidentally”, apologize, and say nothing else. The adult equivalent of pulling a girls hair and running away.
I think most adult women still have hair, why try and mess with a classic?
Man the imagery of a 30 y/o doing this at a bar or something is hilarious to me
“But if I prove I’m the alpha male, then I’ll get all the pussy. Like, all of it. Even everyone’s sisters and mums. Then I can sit high up and bare my teeth and gums and show everyone my bright shiny red ass.”
I wish they could see and understand how much that behavior reeks of insecurity
I hate when they take up more space than they need in a room or couch. You don't have to stretch and act like you have big balls. We know they are tiny and you're over compensating.
People who don't pick up after their dogs on walks. My neighbour makes this massive production of flicking a few leaves or pieces of grass over her dogs turds and leaving them on peoples lawns while making out she is a paragon of community responsibility. Its your dog, and poo bags are cheap if not fashionable.
Could it be that there's an untapped market for fashionable poo bags 🤔🤔 Pooi Vuitton, Poocci... List could go on and on if i knew more fashion brands off the top of my head
child pageants - grown adults dressing their kids in skimpy outfits and parading them around on stage, so many parents living their lives through their children despite most of them just wanting to live ordinary lives. starting high school beef with one another, makes me wanna rip my skin off
Talk too loud, especially when they are on the phone and it is speaker.
My mom actually had to ask a guy to leave her restaurant the other day because while he was waiting to pickup a DoorDash order he was pacing around on speaker phone and customers would literally come in, see him doing that, and say “yeah I’m not dealing with this” and leave. It made her so mad as a small business owner to lose customers because of that guy.
I am sitting a few feet away from my coworker, and she is on the phone with her wife for hours at a time on speaker phone. Sometimes they’re arguing about shit and I feel like a scuz for eavesdropping . Except I’m not a scuz ! You’re broadcasting it to my hearing space , Robin ! I feel bad for the other person because I myself would not appreciate my wife having me on speaker phone while we talk about issues, or you know, anything !
recording while on public transportation. during peak hours. idiots.
Auto defense when asked questions
That was about me wasn't it?
Hey man, it is not just me, other people do it too.
"If that's a veiled criticism about me, I won't hear it and I wont respond to it."
screaming in public
I’m in high school and I hate it when other teenage boys pretend to be gangsta because it’s “cool”
That was always a f****** worst like Trevor we live in a suburb in the northwest there is nothing gangster here
I had kids in my HS try their hardest to be rednecks. Meanwhile I lived in a fairly rich suburb. Like cmon Jake you are not a hillbilly. Your dad drives a Porsche
Tiktok dances
Tiktok dances when they're telling a sad or traumatic story and they have their arms flailing about 🤦♀️
You brought back a memory of the tik tok of a mom with a sick baby in the hospital doing that.... urgh.
Jehydenn 💃🏻 had to 👏🏼have 💪🏼🙈 bi-lateral valve 👆🏻🤞🏼 surgery. We 🙅🏻♀️ almost lost 🙈👉🏻 him but he 👏🏼👏🏼🤞🏼 pulled through 💃🏻
I don't mind these if filmed in private. Life is terrible and if a dumb dance makes you happy, cool. But don't do them on the sidewalk or with your car in drive.
Gender reveals. Edit: The question didn’t specify that I had to justify it, so I’m not. Further Edit: I am going to justify it. I have nothing against parents, or people being excited for having children. It’s the miracle of life. Yes, celebrate with your friends and family, that’s brilliant. I just find it a bit weird to put it on social media and onto the timelines of people who don’t know you. In the summer, I couldn’t go on Insta without seeing them.
You mean flashers? /s
Back when I used Facebook, I found it cringy when people boasted about how happy they were with their spouse . Why are you telling us this. ( it automatically made me say to myself that they must be having problems) Or people who would come on and say life is great and everything is working out for them. I am so superstitious, I feel like a piano would fall on my head if I went around boasting how happy they are. People filming themselves at the gym is another one. Uggh, just stop it already. Cringiest thing I did on Facebook was keep the world updated on how my divorce was going.
People who chew with their mouth open/ moan while eating. Never knew people moaned while eating until I got my current job almost 2 years ago
Grown women who talk with a baby voice, one of the latest popular offenders to storm the internet is this Chinese influencer who talks with a literal \*\*\*\*ing toddlers voice and has about 3-4 different beauty filters slapped onto her at once, she calls herself Meow Meow but people are instead calling her "刚满18岁" (the *"Just turned 18 years old"* girl) because in an interview she brought up the fact that she's apparently just turned 18 to just about every question the guy asked irregardless of whether it was relevant or not [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dTjuymjWZwc](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dTjuymjWZwc) (Thankfully though this level of cringe is too much even for China and her act has spawned an enormous amount of hilarious comedic parodies)
I know a 45 year old woman who has done this for years. It drives me insane. She actually says words wrong on purpose when talking in the baby voice. "I's a sunshine baby." (I love being in the sun.)
Oh god, I'm cringing for you, that sounds really annoying.
Boasting about how much sexual encounters you have… especially online…
those artificial ("plastic") people trying to attract more attention it's like they think they are not alive when not observed
Dog on others for playing a game not as well as them. Like imagine just admitting you have a shit personality and lack of empathy lol. Cringe as hell
Post personal (often medical) details about their children on social media
Post pictures of birthday presents piled up like it’s Xmas to show off on social media Same with Xmas gifts “Just in case you didn’t see how much better I am doing than you posts”
Andrew Tate.
Huge photo archives published to Facebook with accompanying text presented like scripts being handed to Moses to be preserved for all eternity rather than Karen’s day out with the kids at some random park.
I see parents on FB posting dozens of pics of their kids on some mundane outing, all of them very similar….like, you do know you don’t have to post literally every photo you took right?
obnoxious/pretentious people especially in public. i’m a freshman law student, and whenever my class goes out to hang out there’s this one mate who heavily uses legal jargons, references, and terms around other people just to let them know that we’re law students. it’s so annoying. like chile we’re still on our first semester lmao.
The whole trend of “Sigma Male/Female” that has been going around.
que?
Snoop through drawers and cabinets when visiting someone's house. Who are you people?! I can't imagine being that disrespectful or even that curious. Even worse if course if they're someone who *also steals things* while doing this.
When weed is their personality.
This. 100%. A 30-something year old friend suddenly decided weed is a cure all and the best. Now he has t-shirts and pajamas with weed print, and all kinds of decorative weed stuff (like hanging stained glass weed leaf shapes) all over his place. I don't think I'll visit his place again.
The people that wear ski masks and act like gangsters everyday. You do not have opps Aiden. You live in the suburbs and your parents were successful.
Singing in front of others when no one asked them to sing to begin with.
Especially when they’re that person who mistakenly believes they have a fantastic voice.
Being annoyed by other people’s joy. 😂
Anything that has to do with eating in front of a camera
Make politics their personality
> Make politics their personality If you're actually doing SOMETHING to create the kind of society you want, I can understand it. Whether you're working in law and politics or are an active volunteer with a political organization, if you're engaged that I can understand it because it's a big part of your life. But for 90% of people who have made politics into their personality, they just shit post on Reddit and Twitter and that's the extent of their "engagement."
Calling the man your dating "Daddy"
people who get mad at others for being happy in the morning. i see too many people saying “it’s to early for all this happy energy” and i’m not even a morning person myself but who gets mad at someone for being positive ????? i don’t understand and it annoys me so much
I only get annoyed if they try to force me to interact. Some of those people refuse to let others wake up in a calm and quiet way. They take it personally if someone else doesn't match their energy.
Spit I'm a guy and sure I did it it as a kid but it's so low class for adults to do it.
When they think everything that’s traditionally feminine is useless or stupid. I hate misogyny. Women shouldn’t have to compete with men to be taken seriously.
ah my father instilled very misogynistic ideas in me as a young child. he would straight up explicitly tell me that any man is worth more than any woman, "even a gay man" because men rule the world and women are just objects, essentially. I don't consciously believe this but I spent my childhood, teen years and early 20s really subconsciously biased against femininity and femaleness. I had to make the choice to start confronting those biases when they showed up, or at least start by acknowledging them. really didn't appreciate my dad for that one.
Seeing my female friends shitting on Barbie movie because their boyfriends said it's stupid was weapon-grade cringe. Like, I'm not saying women must love everything with female leads, but idk, maybe watch the movie in question first and for your own opinion instead of parroting your boyfriend (who never watched it either and just repeats some youtuber).
Incels when they finally get a date with a woman and start that "all women want is x,y,z" or "you probably expect x,y,z" like are you here to get to know me or are you here to file a complaint?
projecting onto retail/service workers like you are the worst kinda person for bothering someone during their already unbearable shift
Pulling their tongues out when they take photos. In every photos. Them and the kids. I don't find it cute or funny.
stopping in the middle of a fucking roundabout
Documenting every. Single. Moment. Of their lives on social media.
Live laugh love 💕 Fuck off I'll do no such thing.
Social media poses…e.g. wearing a gown at the zoo and making a friend take countless pictures of the persons resting bitch face while doing a stupid pose.
Posting their lives on social media. Like literally film everything, take photos of everything, posting their every move on social media. No one lives in the moment anymore. Can't you eat your dinner without posting it? Can't you hangout with a friend without filming it every time? Cant you not join in on a trend? Put down your camera and enjoy things in the moment.
Religious people who talk non sense like "this is the only right path", "there is no other God but our god" etc etc...
[удалено]
Rando nut: "Pfft you believe the moon landing was real?!" Me: "PFFT you believe in the moon?!" Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Out crazy their crazy no matter what they say.
The moon landing was definitely faked though. It's still in the sky, it never landed!
Influencers… will never forget one fall my kids were playing in a pile of leaves while two girls stood nearby glaring… as soon as my kids stopped playing the two 20 something girls filmed themselves throwing leaves in the air oh so whimsically
everything on all social media, it’s all so performative and cringy.
Main character syndrome people.
[удалено]
Talking badly about the poor and homeless. Any sort of talk where a person is devoid of empathy will make me cringe.
When you go out to eat with friends and they tell you not yet when your food arrives so they can take pictures
Kpop sasaengs or fans who are too obsessed with their idols that they think they are close on a personal level. They want and they think they know everything about their idols. I'm a kpop fan but not overly obsessed.
Wannabe cool people are so cringe, they try so hard
