What makes you cringe or grimace?

OutlawPete

For me it's Fair City.

It's ****ing embarrassing, cringe factor ten.

How does this show pull in the rating figures that it does?

It's like a porno with all the bad acting, but just without the sex.

The racist storyline is also cringe worthy, cliche ridden shite.

The lesbian kissing lately was alright though

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Those 'Dance for Tipperary' sh1tty beat mixes of the fields of athenry and the like.
Sometimes they have the audacity to advertise on the television!

The thought of my Da going down on my Ma.

liah

The mere thought of having damage done to my Achilles tendon. Even typing this is making me cringe.

Also, watching torture scenes in films which involve pulling off fingernails. I can watch the most disturbing, graphic, gorey movies on the planet without batting an eyelid.. but when it comes to fingernails, I just can't look.

Vinta81

Teeth.

That scene in American History X.

Hank_Jones

When my oul lad makes sexual innuendo comments.

Especially when they include my ma.

Scar me for life.

Piste

Irish people discussing sex, or a sex scene with an Irish person in it. We're too pale and freckly to take it seriously.

Like that advert for nail infections, where they pull up the man's toenail...sends shivers up my spine!

When you hear about someone breaking a bone and the bone goes through the skin... eww it gives me the gibblies!

Biggins

Fair City, The Ireland Talent show, Jackie Healy Rea and son, Dana, Twink, RTE, the Irish court system in regards to family law and fathers rights to begin with.

The kerb...the other one makes me cringe in other movies but seems mild compared to the kerb scene

Soon as JR took off his hat, you just knew you were in for some sofa sinking cringeness.

My son had to have an operation on his Achilles tendon. Are ya cringing?!

People singing "The Fields of Athenry" (especially with the IRA bit)

Sends me into cringe convulsions

Piste

The moment anyone shouts "IRA!" or "SINN FÉIN" during that song I die a little inside.

Mindless drunken SCUM.
I hate them.

Rowley Birkin QC

People discussing "celebrities" lives instead of having actual conversations that relate to their own lives.

PeterIanStaker

Anything burberry, its like nails on the chalkboard to me. Urrgghh.

Young professionals acting old before their time.

People who think they're connoisseurs of wine and/or whiskey

"Oh yeh, the musky aroma, blends so well with malty after taste, you can really tell this was distilled in a 1925 oak barrell made by a man with a limp who ritually abused alter boys, mmmm ya!!"

Have a Guinness and STFU

The lack of sex is a good thing, it would be oh so much worse to watch those things go at it.

Cleaning dead wet hair out of the drain gives me shivers.

ironictoaster

DJ's that play the national anthem at the end of a night and then people actually standing up to it.

You deserve to go to hell for that.

Bazzy

laser eye surgery James bond was afraid of the laser and lets be honest he's cool and people pay to get their eyes burnt with a laser cant be right!

bonerm

People who will walk int work at 8.59am on a cold/wet Friday morning and then exclaim things like "Happy Friday!" in some sort of attempt to increase staff morale/bonding.

Try not standing up in a fair number of dublin city centre pubs and see how well the locals take it.

I think IRA people dislike you not standing up for the national anthem.

Jesus Hank, what pub's were you in?

I have never heard the national anthem in a Dublin Pub in my life.

Other than from TV a football stadium via the TV.

Your not the first person I have heard say that though.

The pubs I have been in late at night over the years, tended to be playing stuff like Black Betty round closing time

There were a few pubs I used to drink in around town when I was 14/15.

They were the shiftiest dives around at that time, full of ra heads.
The majority of them are closed now, they were dotted around the O'Connell street area (not on O'Connell street though).

Hair is dead already, don't worry, you didn't kill it.

Fair Sh1tty gives me the dry heaves. Anything but that. Eastenders is high art compared to it. Ros na Run is quite good in comparison. Subtitles ftw!

Never heard of it.
Dunno, might have been at some stage.
Usually tended to stay close to O'Connell Street though.
That way if we didn't get served in one, there were a rake load more to chance our arm in.

The feeling of paper. Especially just after I've wash my hands. Yuck.

Goosebumps alert.

Very brave of them and the cast to make considering the subject matter.

Hell of a film alright.
It's one of those I don't think I could bring myself to watch again though.

Bacon is fantastic in it, possibly his best performance ever.

People who crack their knuckles. One of my friends does it and I hate the sound.

Religiouse debates on the internet....
