What Makes You Cringe ?

I went to a football match recently - FC Tokyo versus Omiya Ardija. The game itself was fine, but before the game, all the FC Tokyo fans stood up with their scarves held above their heads, and sang along, karaoke-style, to 'You'll Never Walk Alone', with the English lyrics on the big screens for them to follow.

I was there with a Belgian lad and an English lad, and the three of didn't know where to look.

The Japanese in general seem to be quite a cringeworthy nation..

I've seen it so much to the point I'll actively avoid going out when it's on. I went to the pub last year for this game and I will never go again. I witnessed:

- Lads calling each other 'Manc Scum' and 'Scouse W*nkers'. These are boys who grew up together in West Dublin.

- Chanting in Mancunian and Scouse accents at the telly and at each other

- A United fan decked out in that Green and Gold protest scarf against 'foreign' owners and his mates thinking he was a dedicated lad for doing so.

- The coup de grace, though, was one fella squaring up to the ref (TV Screen in reality) and his mate holding him back going ''just leave it man''.

These fellas are embarrasing beyond belief.

After reading this post I can't take club football seriously anymore.

Thanks Omackerel.

People who walk around foreign countries wearing their County GAA jerseys so that just in case people wouldnt confuse them as not being from **

**insert any county. Meath people seem to be the worst at it!

By a long, long shot, Mayo jersies are the most widespread on earth,you will simply never escape them..

That said, this photo is still great: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/02/11/article-0-0D2263B8000005DC-713_634x423.jpg

On a similar topic, I remember reading an article in the Sunday Times about how African children wearing premier league/La Liga jerseys donated from abroad was helping to damage local soccer. The impressionable kids naturally follow the team of the jersey they get and wouldnt bother with their local teams and see them as something to look down on (where have we heard that before?).

Of course in the accompanying photo there's a bunch of kids in their jerseys. At the front and center of the photo a child is wearing the distinctive shirt of......Crossmaglen Rangers!

I can only imagine a ugandan Willie Frazer rabbling on about the GAA destroying Uganda's culture.

When someone quotes a line from a TV show or movie, usually a joke, and they get the flipping line wrong!

When adults who are living with their parents are working full time and balk at the thought of handing up something towards the running of the household.

Irish people claiming to be "unionist" just because it's kinda right-wing and no-nonsense. People pretending to be all right-wing and no-nonsense in general. Give me "right-on" before that tripe any day.

The way some people get upset over the thanks system here - obviously because they don't get thanked much. As if they wouldn't use the thanks button. And I doubt they'd be asking people to unthank them.

I think the word you're looking for is bandwagoning. The clue is in the sentence where you said 'band wagon'. Banwagoning is a human phenomenon.

I find it odd that people would 'cringe' or get annoyed at new people becoming interested in a particular thing. It's almost as if they're trying to assert some sort of faux-authority by sticking it to the 'newbs'.

I think it's great to see all the new interest in MMA that Conor McGregor has helped generate.

Going on about something being a bandwagon... is a bandwagon in and of itself. Some people don't even know what they're talking about when they moan about hipsters or craft beer - it's just the thing to say.

The bullshít nonsense the contestants talk about in Deal Or No Deal.

"There's just something in the air that says you're going to win" "THERE IS A BLUE IN MY BOX, I CAN SMELL IT!!!!!" "This is your destiny!" "Just think about it, that amount money is lots of money, but it's still not that much. You could still win less, or you could win more. That's my advice." Noel Edmonds in general is just a walking cringe machine.

I hate that show.

GAA fans are the worst for it. "Oh those bandwagoners get tickets to the AI final and I don't blah blah blah blah". They seem to be too stupid to realise that the Bandwagoners are the only reason the sport is as popular as it is. Without it the All-Ireland final would be held in front of 5000 people, or less.

Any key?

Relationship people who publicly display their affection on Facebook, even though they break up and get back together umpteen times and you know both they are doing a bit on the sly side too.

Same but more people who live through Facebook..umpteen photos of their kids/I love my boyfriend soooo much so blessed right now crap

Makes me sick, wonder if their life would be as gratifying without Facebook likes.......

Any key?

"Asshole" and "ass" are hardly cringeworthy.

Quite a few non cringeworthy things on this thread, just stuff people don't like.

Bit of an exaggeration I admit

It's undeniable that the "bandwagon" is one of the things that makes the game what it is though.

Oh god where to start,

High fives
Jelly Shoes
Stupid things I once said
Other peoples embarrassment
Karaoke
Buskers
Bigots
Little girls between the age of 5 and 17 ( horrid creatures - I should know I used to have one)
Oprah
Brownosers
But more than anything on this earth the thing that makes me cringe the most is the people who clap when the plane lands!

Waving at someone who is waving at the person behind you....
Also saying "hi" when someone says "hello" and you realise they have just answered their phone..... :O

Forced "LAD" culture.

It has actually become an epidemic. Years ago you had "hard lads", each to their own and you still do. However it seems like every male from the age of 13 and above thinks he is this absolute hard lad, professional footballer wannabe-heavy drinker who can fight and womanise. -All of which are not remotely close to being true. It is not in their nature, it's so forced.

"Selfie" culture - similar in some ways but somehow even more vain. As for the word itself I want to cut my ears off every time I hear it.

Also all the recent Gaza outrage posted online on the usual social sites is ultra cringe material. It's as if most of them have only just heard about Palestine, oblivious to how long conflict has been going on there.

Stuff that makes me uncomfortable.

I was at a funeral a couple of years ago where the priests sermon was a full blown promotion of the gathering, it was a funeral like?

Talking to a random stranger on the street thinking it was my wife behind me, happens on a regular basis.:o

When you hear an Irish person speaking in a slight but noticeable mid-Atlantic accent (like Miriam O'Callaghan, for example) on the radio, not "cringey" but a little bit annoying.

It's up there with the ones who try and put on a scumbag accent.

They think it makes them "hard".

urinating & her accent was absurd! Why is it a more female thing for the want of a better description!

Students that come into the pub for 1 pint between them and order a pizza to the pub... Jesus Christ like, how ignorant are ya?! Sooo cringeworthy.

Listening to a girl explain that she mainly hangs around with boys as they are less bitchy and girls are' soooo omfg bitchy!!!' Cringe.
