" People who swank help others online . Like the ones who clear do it for clout . My friend ’s gf does this ; she perpetually look at the camera , smiles and poses , undulation , asks the person who is houseless ( who look so uncomfortable ) to wave to the photographic camera , too . NO . "
Recently, Reddit userNo-Hamster7526asked, “What’s something other people do that you find really cringy?” and people had a LOT to get off their chests.
Here are 38 things people see others do that they just think are supperrrrr cringeworthy.
1.“Those TikTok videos where someone just stands there without speaking, pointing at bits of text as they appear one by one on the screen, pulling a different pose/expression for each text.🙂👉🔠😉👉🔠😏👉🔠🤭👉🔠.”

2.“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 jargon, 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.”

3.“Gender reveals. … 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.”

4.“Filming yourself crying for social media.”

7.And… “Making politics their personality.”
— u / FalconJay1
" If you ’re actually doing SOMETHING to make the variety of society you desire , I can realize it . Whether you ’re work in practice of law and politics or are an combat-ready voluntary with a political organization , if you ’re engaged , then I can understand it because it ’s a big part of your aliveness .
But for 90 % of the great unwashed who have made politics into their personality , they just shit Emily Post on Reddit and Twitter , and that ’s the extent of their ' fight . ' "
— atomic number 92 / StraightOuttaHistory
8.“People who video call in public and talk loudly, especially in trains or buses. 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 authorizing the coupon.”

9.Relatedly… “Talk too loud, especially when they are on the phone and it is on speaker.”
— u / Worsethanboys
" I am sitting a few feet aside from my coworker , and she is on the phone with her married woman for hours at a sentence 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 listening blank space , Robin ! I feel big for the other person because I myself would not appreciate my married woman get me on speaker earphone while we babble out about effect , or you know , anything ! "

" My ma actually had to require a hombre to leave her restaurant the other Clarence Shepard Day Jr. because while he was wait to pickup a DoorDash purchase order , he was step around on utterer speech sound , and client would literally come in , see him doing that , and say , ' Yeah , I ’m not dealing with this ' and leave . It made her so unhinged as a small business proprietor to lose customers because of that guy . "

10.“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 and poses, waves, asks the person who is houseless (who looks so uncomfortable) to wave to the camera, too. NO.”
— u / vivrelavie
11.“I find it cringy when people boast about how happy they are with their spouse. Why are you telling us this? (It automatically makes 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 I am.”
" People filming themselves at the gym is another one . Uggh , just stop it already . "
12.“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.”
— uRosePeonylavender
" Incels when they lastly get a date with a adult female and originate that ' all char want is x , y , z ' or ' you belike expect x , y , z , ' like are you here to get to know me , or are you here to file a complaint ? "
— u / Mousewaterdrinker
13.“Posting an hour worth of concert footage on Snapchat stories.”
— uracil / HondaRedneck16
14.“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. 😡”
— u / Burgundy_Starfish
15.Relatedly, “TikTok dances,” especially in a public space.
— u / NorskoTheScorpion
16.“IPad kids and their parents. If you can’t get your toddler to stop screaming unless you hand them a screen, something is WRONG. I have been seeing more and more out in public, and the ones without headphones ESPECIALLY piss me off. Be a better parent.”
— u / Snailpics
17.“Calling the man you’re dating ‘Daddy.'”
— u / Ionisasleep
18.“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 goosebumps. I’m like, bro, just be you. If you’re a badass, you don’t have to prove it.”
— u / TypicalJeepDriver
19.“Religious people who talk…like ‘this is the only right path,’ ‘there is no other God but our god’ etc.
— u / Right_Macaron8526
20.“People who don’t pick up after their dogs on walks. My neighbor makes this massive production of flicking a few leaves or pieces of grass over her dog’s turds and leaving them on peoples lawns while making out she is a paragon of community responsibility. It’s your dog, and poo bags are cheap if not fashionable.”
— uranium / cruiserman_80
21.“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 secondhand embarrassment.”

— uranium / Strokesonfire
27.“Documenting every. single. moment. of their lives on social media.”
— uracil / Dude_Bro_88
" Like , literally film everything , take exposure of everything , posting their every move on social media . No one lives in the moment anymore . Ca n’t you eat your dinner without posting it ? Ca n’t you hang out with a friend without filming it every meter ? Ca nt you not conjoin in on a tendency ? Put down your television camera and enjoy thing in the mo . "

28.“Recording while on public transportation. During peak hours. Idiots.”
— u / Acceptable - Golf-1584

— u / paigeesummers
30.“People that make ‘I hate kids, all people are horrible and suck; I only get along with animals, dogs are better than people’ their whole personality and never shut up about it. I get it. I like dogs, and kids can annoy me, too, but some people just go too far with those jokes to a point where it just gets grotesque and dark. … If someone truly only ever gets along with an animal that was bred throughout centuries to be obedient and love humans unconditionally, then I think there might be a chance they are the people that suck.”
— u / ComprehensiveTap190
31.“Being annoyed by other people’s joy.”
— u / Tasty - Tree-6243
32.And relatedly… “People who get mad at others for being happy in the morning. I see too many people saying, ‘It’s too 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.”
