what does it take to make you 'cringe'

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I know people (maybe or maybe not including myself!) who have shit and/or pissed themself in public, vomited in restauants, wet the bed when they've just pulled a bird, got into bed naked when pissed with their best friends wife and verbally abused the lead singer of The Beautiful South (again when pissed) yet on here some seem to 'cringe' when a song is sung or someone applauds the away fans, let's get some perspective here FFS

Clapping the away fans..ha

People (mostly women) that actually say "cringe" when they cringe.

Vomiting onto a busy underground station platform on the way back from Leyton Orient back in 2000 -2001

Surely cringing is just feeling embarrassed, why should it matter about the level of embarrassment?

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

when people cringe about something that isn't necessarily negative. seriously, get over it.

Passing out on the London underground bringing the northern line to a standstill for about 30mins sucked like hell when I came around, tbf though turned out I was pretty poorly

it's getting milked on here, some bellend shouts "Who!?" when a substitution is made,some anorak applauds a Barnsley fan, 12,000 fans sing "We're the North/West Stand.." whatever, and that George Cross fom last season with "BHA Ultras" embossed across it, as crap as it was, was hilairiously refered to on here as "cringe central" I'm suppose i'm just happy for those who have never really been embarrassed

As someone who gets easily embarrassed I find that quite a few things makes me cringe, it's surely just a matter of opinion (or even a subconscious reaction).

that's fair comment, i'm not getting in a fight with anyone on here but the amount of "cringing" that seems to be going on on here I get the impression that some are going through two hours of hell when they walk through the turnstyles due to what other people get up to

 

[Mellotron]

People (mostly women) that actually say "cringe" when they cringe.

A very similar thing:

People who say "that's hilarious" "that's comedy" etc without ACTUALLY LAUGHING. IF IT WAS HILARIOUS YOU'D LAUGH, YOU PRAT.

Gah, thats one of my pet HATES that is.

Announcer: "Subsitution for Bristol City, coming off number 16, Carlton Spoon"
Bellends: "OOOO ?"
Announcer: "And he is replaced by number 14, Robert Jones"
Bellends: "OOOO ?"

As if the opposition fans would have heard of any of our 'superstars' when they get subbed. Its a SHIT reaction, almost as bad as the "duh duh duh duh, f***ing useless" every time someone has a shot that doesn't end up in the back of the net.

Too many nobbers these days.

I was getting the train back from Barnet on Monday night and there were some of the most obnoxious, disgustingly behaved, teenage West Ham fans in my carriage. Every other word was f***, c*nt, wanker, shit etc and thought they were hilarious when there were older people on there getting really annoyed. Then they started talking about the Brighton match on Saturday and making homophobic comments. I stood up and said people on this train don't want to hear your brainless drivel, told them to f*** off and moved swiftly to the next carriage.

I don't know if most of you lot will have come across this: sometimes if there's a moment in a conversation where no one knows what to say, some people feel the overwhelming need to make the diving signal for a turtle and say "Awkward turtle". Yeah, like that makes the situation any less f***ing awkward.

Clapping the away attendance is cringey, unless it's a team that we have good relations with - such as Plymouth or Wrexham - anyone else and it's just bad.

totally bizzare, never heard anything like that, haven't thrown a punch since I left school in 1984 but i'd beat someone to a pulp if they did that in my presence

 

[Blackcap]

The memory of the last time I drank tequila, on an evening that resulted in a two day hangover following a train journey home from London in which I decorated the train toilet compartment from floor to head height in vomit.

I remember little of the evening itself save for one persistent flashback of me hauling an unfortunate young lady about half my age away from her friends and onto the dance floor, then attempting to lead the poor embarrassed lass around thinking I was one of the pro's from Strictly but actually probably looking more like Russell Grant as I breathed my tequila fumes over her horrified face.

8 or so years on, the memory comes back to me every now and then and is the one thing that invokes an actual physical cringe response verging on trauma no matter where I am. I'm feeling it now as I type this.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

People in higher jobs than me at work who sound utter ineducated prats by saying haitch, would of, should of, bored of etc. and expect to be taken seriously.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

People that say awkward.
