37 People Share Things Others Do That Are Just Downright Cringy In This Viral Thread

While most of us can internalize that we all have different preferences, some people’s actions are so annoying that we can’t help but shake our heads in frustration. Even worse, through constant repetition, certain actions end up becoming accepted or at least tolerated by the majority of society.

One netizen asked “What's something other people do that you find really cringy?” and people online gave their examples of things that have become too normalized. We got in touch with No-Hamster7526 to learn a bit more, so get comfortable as you scroll through and be sure to upvote your favorites.

Bored Panda got in touch with No-Hamster7526 who made the initial post asking for people's ideas. They were kind enough to answer some of our questions. First and foremost, we were curious to hear why they wanted to pose this question to the internet.

“I just created the Ask Reddit post because I thought it'd keep me entertained for a while,” they shared with Bored Panda, which does seem like it’s a pretty common reason to get thousands of internet users to share their thoughts. However, the post itself ended up with over three thousand comments, more than enough to keep someone reading for days.

As No-Hamster7526 noted, “I got hundreds of comments at a time, so it was hard to sort through them,” when we asked them if they had any personal favorites. “I think there was one about someone telling you heaps about something you don't care about,” they shared as the one they related to the most.

Most of the answers here ranged from annoying to downright bad for society. This is both a representation of how many bad things have become normal as well as an indication that the word cringe has perhaps lost some of its nuances. As No-Hamster7526 told us, the appeal of the thread came from it being so universal, “Everyone has something they find cringe.”
