Hearing recordings of my voice.

I accidentally recorded a large chunk of an especially bad date once when I was bootlegging a comedy show. Noticed the recording was unusually long afterward so I skipped through it to see what was up... heard enough to make me cringe my way into a fit before turning it off. Can't bring myself to delete it but any time I see it on my hard drive I cringe like ****.
It's the only recording I've ever heard of me having a conversation too, so I assume I'm always that bad.

Yeh I think my voice sounds horrendous. Gutted that that's the voice people hear, rather than the more pleasant tones I hear myself.

Hearing your own voice is awful!

There's no way I sound like that!!

People pretending to be all right-wing and no-nonsense in general.

I always imagine them being terrified of people with tattoos or people who wear tracksuits. The kind of people who put an awful lot of time and effort into avoiding the public. Nervous types who think the sky is falling... bless 'em.

This, and the word 'skanger' oh and people who take the Sunday World and the Herald as gospel. Simpletons.

-Once a month,I attend a decent night held in Dublin (spoken word) but the hosts have serious mid-Atlantic accents that is sooooo cringe- 'Awesome!!!' is what really makes me twist in my chair!!! ahhhhhhhhhh

-Unfunny comedians!

-Use of inappropriate language at the wrong moment

-My own voice.

-DJs who talk ****' just to make up the space! Turn the dial!

Now that I have written these down and read over them, I've observed they're all noise/voice related!!!!

At the family Christmas dinner last year, my Granny asked my 16 year old cousin if she was still a virgin, scarlet wasn't the word.

When you hear a choir or a bunch of people singing 'Jingle Bells' and they all sing "HA HA HA" immediately after "laughing all the way".

The choir I was in at school used to do this and I didn't have the stomach to sing it with them.

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.

My granny is obsessed with peoples weight. I escape it because I'm male but my Mum and sister always have to hear about how they've gained weight.

Anyway, one time she was in hospital and a large woman was visiting some elderly relative. My granny points at her, in full view of the woman, and says "big woman over there" while laughing.

She also laughs hysterically whenever Mary Harney comes on the TV.

When people create a really long bullet point list of their biggest dislike/pet hates of completely random stuff, similar to a couple of posts on this thread. these people seem angry at the world.

Also fussy women on dating sites such as POF with strict criteria who will only date a guy who is at least 6'10, earns over €2000000 a year and looks like Johnny Depp

Obnoxious South Dublin college students that talk loudly about how great they are in their academic acheivements on public transport.

I just sit there and my face just pulls shapes with complete contempt having to listen to it.

Every time I have to go to Dublin I think "What kind of gobshyte am I going to have to listen to today?"

I was on a bus in England once and a few college students hopped on and started talking loudly about how liquefying corpses and using it as fuel was the answer to the impending oil crisis.

Good for you. Fcuk them for intruding on your privacy whilst on public transport.

There's a girl I'm friends with on facebook who is posting daily updates on her quest to find a man on Tinder in a "Sex In The City" style, seriously cringy stuff altogether. Actually seeing my ma watch "Sex In The City" also sent some shivers down my spine, thank god they don't seem to be showing it on tv any more.

I saw this hard-chaw bastard down the local cheapo supermarket a while back with 'FBI - fabulous bachelor inside' a while back. I'm sure he had no idea what the words meant. Fair play to him if he did.

The way so many people wear converse and vans runners these days, firstly girls, they look awful on you, and second where's the originality gone?
