Oh god my dad does this when he visits me (we live in different cities).

The fingering my yawn one, also didn't help that she liked to have sex with her ex. (Found out later)

She said she hated Boromir. Vehemently too, it wasn't his some passing dislike.
CultivatingMassMac
That's such a Boromir thing to say!
overlysarcastic
She was a close-talker, and had man hands.
leeuhnotlayuh
We had a customer where I worked that was a close talker and I was like you guys she was so close I thought she was going to kiss me!

He does look girlie
Butters25
Why do I feel like almost all of these were not the real reasons and just some pet peeves of an ex?
Aggretsuko
yeah or the girl realizing his head was too big was for body. wouldn't you have noticed that as soon as you met him ?
steeeeeeeve
Sounds like good reasons to me :) Clinging to a bizzaro just because you're scared of loneliness is a path to slavery
RaefWolfe
Some of these would drive me crazy. Probably 'last straw' stuff.
TacoPuncher
Cause it's better to say, they had the same deo as my mom. Rather than, the smell conditioned me to get aroused whenever I smelled my mom
CrystalShipsCometh
Did not read title at first. Thought for a second that OP was describing the worst ex of all time
princessbunnie
I actually thought it was cute things that made someone fall in love with that person until I got halfway through the list
BeaglesLoveBlueberries
Lol; "she wore the same deodorant as my mother"! Calm down, Oedipus.
CeeJayTea
Y'think that's bad? I thought it was a coherent story at first, one that I was just too stupid to follow...
Applehead3
Same! Or maybe we just didn't catch it.

Somehow that thought is even worse... So since we're already friends now, how about rooming when we get to Camp Dumbass?

Ah yes, the rare never nude.
alyssaadlerart
is it blue or white?
oyvindjs
A lot of this is sadly and simply really poor self esteem about their bodies.
SquiddlyDiddly
My friend refuses to take his shirt off... i thought that was strange until I read the underwear one.. jesus christ.
veronicamarsdestroyerofworlds
If a guy refused to remove his undies, I'd automatically assume he had genital warts...
maaaaadness
For a quickie it's fine, but if you're all, "I wanna lay you down on silk sheets and make passionate love", you gotta ditch the gitch.
soleilange
Guys, he was a never-nude!
ThirtySevenInARow
I like how it's a picture of tighty whities. Because you know if someone does this, that's what they have to be wearing
thatzunpossible
Like....I understand if you're in the moment but NEVER?
OldWiseWizard
I never take my suit off during sex ;)
Tofubutton
I don't know if I've ever taken my socks off for sex.But I've also never had a girlfriend with her own place,so parents were always an issue
adh247
Isn't this something a transexual would do if she was trying to hide the fact that she didnt have a weiner? think about it.
kk28
My boyfriend does this about 70% of the time and it drives me crazy. Like goddamn I'm full nakey, why can't you be?
thatoneyanderezelda
Lol full nakey. +1 for making me do the giggies
impoverishedWASP
I once went out with a guy who wouldn't even take off pants for sex. He was really self-conscious. But it was still weird and I dumped him.
GavinScreaming
These are all from reddit and the actual comment said socks, not underwear
AddictiontoPerfection
...can socks be considered underwear? Think about it
TacoPuncher
I could be wrong, but I heard like a certain sect of Mormons do this
thatoneyanderezelda
Mormon here, I do not yet have my garments. But I would not wear them during these moments. I wouldn't ever wear clothes during that anyways
UsePNGnotJPEG
All Mormons have holy underwear that they need to wear at all times, but some individuals might not follow this as closely as they should.
PuttingTheSensualBackInNonconsensual
I think that's only when they're trying to make a holy Mormon baby.
aprilludgateduire
Like how does a guy do sex without taking off underwear I don't understand. Unless he's like wearing a thong or something lol
SparklingCockWaffle
Do you not understand men's underwear?
zbaerenlovesme
But is that hole really big enough? Or am I misunderstanding penis size due to my husband's massive cock.

Most of the time, the final breakup reason is just the straw that broke the camel's back. Usually, there are a host of other problems.
ShamrockFury
She said "They need to put all the gays on an island so they'll eventually just die off". The silly things we end relationships for...haha
lolbtw
Okay but do you count bi people? Because they might not die off. Evil plans should at least be well thought out.
ImAlwaysContentWithCatContent
this is one of the few legitimate reasons on here to leave someone IMHO.
ShamrockFury
I told her that they'd probably love that anyway. Apparently Bosnians aren't very tolerant of gay people. Who knew
ImAlwaysContentWithCatContent
whereas i'd say there are intolerant shitbags of every nationality, i agree that it just sucks to find out you went out with one.
ShamrockFury
Yeah, but she was hot and she let me touch her naughty bits. So, it wasn't all bad
ImAlwaysContentWithCatContent
the more it sucks to leave. i had to give up INCREDIBLE sex with one person because he was way to clingy. still miss that cock sometimes.

shovel fork = deal breaker for me
XLunaLoveGoodX
My boyfriend eats like that. He doesn't when we are at a nice restaurant or at an important event though. So I can deal with it.

Same. Table manners are very important to me. I don't want to be embarrassed by my SO at dinner with friends or family.

When my ex would have a stomach ache, he'd say "My STUMMY hurts." He was 25.
youngfairydust
Reasonable. I despise when men talk in baby voices or say things like that. It makes me feel like the "manly man" I chose, is a 4 year old.
BenSwol0
Kid I grew up with, his parents made him say "fanny burp" instead of "fart." Lasted through adulthood. Also, mother made him sit peeing.
skwawkward
We had to say "toot." I think my mom forgot about the rule by the time I was 10. My but NEIGHBORS had to say "boof" while living at home.
AngryAndConfused
In the UK fanny means vagina. Your comment upset me deeply before I remembered the U.S. meaning.
Teh4ChanHacker
LOL. Semi-related: you know who else makes you sit peeing? Dudes in prison.
TurningTurningIntheWideningGyro
Why?
Teh4ChanHacker
Because they want the toilets in the cells as clean as possible. You wash clothes in there, or make drinks, jailhouse spread, etc.

For them not believing in the moon landing is a very valid reason
StonerAlex
I went on a tinder date, conversation went to interesting TV programs and she told me about this interesting "documentary" she saw about 1/2
StonerAlex
how there are other beings that live with us on earth for example the lizard people. I laughed like it was a joke and she looked upset...
butteredbread
11/? and nothing. We go to my family's place for dinner and nothing. We pass around the rolls and he says "SO apparently you don't believe
butteredbread
8/? with my mom at one point and they ask him how he feels being in a serious relationship with someone who doesn't believe in the moon
butteredbread
7/? to have a degree in space engineering (yeah satellites and the bunch not aerospace) and he comes to visit my family. I go out shopping
butteredbread
9/? landing. He is stricken at first but then thinks better of it. He waits a couple weeks. He's at his parents over an hour away. I call
Sc1003
Amen. I could never be in a relationship with someone who thinks the moon landing was fake
OlRockTheGoodAg
I don't think I could even associate with someone like that...
Sc1003
So far I haven't had to, but I know they exist. Benefit of being in a technical field, I guess?
butteredbread
5/? this over the course of a week when I was 16. We had done a trip to florida and the NASA viewing area and had photos of everything all
butteredbread
4/? My whole family is freaking out because they raised a crazy person and I thought it was hilarious at the time and "stood my ground."
butteredbread
3/? I for no good reason at all (like many 16 y/o's) sai "they're right! Never happened" I then just regurgitated what they had said.
butteredbread
2/? "documentary" about the all the reasons why people say the landing didn't happen. My dad who is an engineer walked in and laughed at it.
butteredbread
14/14 else say that a person you are dating doesn't believe in the moon landing please check on that! 16 year olds can be idiots.
butteredbread
12/? in the moon landing!" and I am confused at first look at my family's uncomfortable faces and it clicks.
butteredbread
13/? I almost trolled myself out of my now marriage! We all laugh and it's that crazy story I have to tell. But if you hear it from someone
butteredbread
over my room so I thought they actually knew I didn't believe in any of it. Well years go by, like 8 years. I meet a guy who happens
butteredbread
10/? to clarify plans and he says "we need to talk" and then won't say why. I'm freaking out because we're moving in together. I pick him up
butteredbread
So funny story. I 100% believe in and support space travel. 16 year old me was not rebellious at all. Yet I watched a conspiracy theory 1/?

Feet are the most common body part fetish after the basic boobs/butts/penis/vagina. Not that weird.
sweetnaivety
Ugh I can't stand feet, I have never found them attractive and a foot in my face would be a turn off, the exact opposite of a fetish
BeerStoreGuy
Still pretty gross to a lot of us
JukeMasterFlex
It's feet though...literally nothing sexual about them..
BakeryBitch
Yeah but have you ever had your toes sucked on?
JukeMasterFlex
No, because there isn't anything sexual about them, all that's gonna do is make me ticklish.
BakeryBitch
But what's sexual about legs, and necks, and mouths, and all that other fun stuff? Don't play this game with me, tiger.
MundaneFacts
Nothing innately sexual about butts or boobs.
JukeMasterFlex
There is, read what @delaneige said.
delaneige
Yes. These body parts show that somebody is sexually mature enough to reproduce. Biology makes humans more attracted to them for this reason
MundaneFacts
That's fairly secondary to attraction unless you are attracted to 13 y.o.s and NOT 12 y.o.s

That's how my parents taught me not to chew with my mouth open. I would get one verbal warning and then a pop to the back of the head.

My boyfriend will almost always go for the chicken tenders and fries if it's offered on the menu. That or a burger... always
ImAlwaysContentWithCatContent
i'd say that's been a person with an eating disorder.
PrincessMerida
For that one, I felt guilty because I am very picky about my food. I like mild and simple.
GuardLLama
I dated a girl like this when I was 6. Uncultured pig couldn't even break out into fish sticks or PBJ sandwiches. So embarrassing.
RapCatTheRappingestCat
As a bartender, don't be that person. As busy as we look, you can't fathom the amount of multitasking we're doing behind the scenes
eveninthefuturenothingworks
"Can I get 6 shots?" "Of??" "What's good here?" "I'll come back when you're ready." Every. Fucking. Night.
CancerPagurus
People not ordering everything at once, but break up the order.... gah!
madmacknt
And fuck people who order cocktails that no one has ever heard of, then looks at me like I have six heads when I ask what's in it.
riffifi
It was happy hour, so very busy time. I felt the need to apologize for his behavior, but the waiter told him to fuck off. 2/2
riffifi
I had a drink with a coworker lately, he asked for a cocktail that wasn't on the card, so he made a list of ingredients for the waiter 1/2

Or tell you you've made the drink wrong and they explode when you correct them

Is Moscow Mule unheard of to ask for?

Not at all. But not every bar carries ginger beer.

It's an awesome drink! A version i enjoy too: White rum, ginger beer, 2 drops fireball (no more!) and some sourmix. yummy :)

No, if your bartender doesn't know what it is you need to get to a better bar asap

The only reason she would not be harmed is because injury and death are too good, too *quick* for her... and would spoil *proper* vengeance.

I once broke up with a girl because she said she didn't like Forrest Gump

We weren't dating yet, but I stopped talking to a girl because she didn't like scrubs.

I don't like Forrest Gump, but I feel for semi-legit reasons. My name is Jenni and hearing that quote from this move for the past 20 years

that's acceptable

I got that reference.

I did the same mistake... But have you watched that movie a second time?

I've probably watched FG over 50 times and its still my favorite. There are valid criticisms to any movie, but I had to draw the line.

I had 17 missed calls from her after I forgot my phone at home when hanging out at a buddy's house.

Did she think you were dead? Like why would she call you that many times?

She thought I was sick. I didn't understand it either. But we were all young and stupid back then.

Dude who broke up w/Antoinette because she wouldn't go by Tony is a dickhead. Don't ask people to take nicknames they hate since you're lazy

Also, Tony? Why the fuck would you try to call her by a male name, and not like Anne or Annie.

Though there is "Toni".

When I was a kid, there was an old lady next door whose name was Roxanne but went by Rocky. Really confused me as a kid.

that is a good idea but i sorta dislike childrens in general

Shovel fork and chewing with your mouth open are both reprehensible. I've seen people lose their jobs over this, not just relationships.
Apocalyptusbonbon
I literally dumped someone for that loud chewing thing. So unattractive and we could never go out to eat.
SlowlySilentlyNowTheMoon
I wish someone would fire those two bitches at work who constantly snap and pop gum all day. You're in a professional environment, leave 1/2
SlowlySilentlyNowTheMoon
the freaking gum at home! We're in a cube farm and the last thing anyone wants to hear is your trashy chomping, smacking and gum popping!
LivingInYourIntestines
I dated a dude once who chewed with his mouth open - and the fucking soup dribbled down his beard and spread everywhere. Nope.
TickleMeFlymo
Shovel fork makes you look special.
candystripeacancerward
I hold my fork the shovel way just because I'm so cack-handed I can't function when I hold it properly :(
EchoOfSnac
I could never occupy the same room as my sister if she was eating because of the disgusting chewing and smacking noises.
ThePterodactylSlayer
As a shovel former myself, this does not make me feel good about my future
SurfSwitch
I moved someone off my team for chewing with their mouth open. I received too many complaints and he had to go.
mateysaidwot
ALL MY IN-LAWS ROCK THE SHOVEL. My own fault. I was too nervous during pre-wedding dinners to notice what their hands were doing.
InboxMeYourBeards
I wish my coworker would get fired for smacking her food
imgurleygirl
After reading comments I am scared for my future. I had a lot of mouth problems and from preK till I was 18 I ALWAYS had some sort of 1/2
Tyrosine68
In my experience people will give you a pass if there's an obvious reason for a breech of etiquette.
imgurleygirl
gear in my mouth. I also at one point had a very intensive jaw surgery. The majority of my life it was almost impossible to chew with 2/3
imgurleygirl
my mouth completely shut. I don't always chew with my mouth open but it takes A LOT of focus to make sure I don't screw up and do it now 3/3
sweetnaivety
people don't usually fault others for things they can't control, at least good people. Especially if you're trying so hard.
imgurleygirl
Thanks! Hopefully people stick around long enough to find out there is a somewhat valid reason.
benephon
I didn't even know I was holding my fork wrong until I was 19 :( I hold it correctly now but it was so damn comfortable the wrong way
wigglyseaurchin
But if you hold it overhanded you could elbow someone in the face :(
FatherDale
Who taught you? I was in my 30s when a gf taught me how to hold a fork correctly. It is teachable, if someone just tells you.
Tyrosine68
Like all table manners, I was taught from early childhood. You can take etiquette classes, that teach manners including this.
FatherDale
Not available in the socio-economic class I was born to.
Tyrosine68
I grew up well under the poverty line and I was still taught manners. Classes are available to adults as this is not an uncommon problem.
impoverishedWASP
A friend of mine broke up with a woman because he didn't like the way she chewed, and another because she genuinely believed in mermaids.
Moriarty
My ex did the fork thing and genuinely believed in bigfoot. Or at least the possibility of bigfoot, which was enough.
Tyrosine68
I get that. I couldn't date / friends with an anti-vaxer, someone who doesn't believe in evolution, etc. I think that's basic compatibility.
impoverishedWASP
Oh definitely. It would drive me absolutely insane and I would spend all of my time trying to convince him that he's wrong.
Tyrosine68
Exactly. I was very close friends with a girl who believed in psychics and I constantly had to restrain myself. Dating would be 10x worse.
Plesley
this is why i don't eat in front of others. I hate having people comment and judge how I eat (or how much).
pastramionrye
Yes. This. Fuck people who weren't taught correctly.
lyricallove
My husband came from an abusive childhood and nobody ever taught him how to use a fork. I'm pretty much the first person who has 1/2
lyricallove
Honestly, if people are going to judge him because he doesn't hold his fork a certain way, they need to get a life. I know manners are 1/2
lyricallove
are important, but holding your fork incorrectly is one of the least rude things someone could do.
Moriarty
For me, the fork was a symptom of a larger problem. He acted as though I was out of his league and like he was stuck "below" even after 2yrs
lyricallove
ever brought it up. I don't really notice it much anymore. I tried helping him, but 19 years is a long time to secure a habit. 2/3
EchoOfSnac
I used to eat with the shovel method. Somebody pointed it out to me in high school and I automatically never did it since.
IndigoWendigo
What are thy, 5?

using a fork the way it was originally designed to be used is unacceptable now? huh...

Originally designed...how many years ago? We do/use a lot of things differently today than we did over a thousand years ago.
SwedishRationalist
Koreans chew with their mouth open all the time, it's totally ok in their culture.
wigglyseaurchin
It's true :( I want to be culturally sensitive and not ethno-centric, but daaang the sounddd
SwedishRationalist
I don't understand why this statement is getting downvotes, because it's true.
MitchBeaucannon
Good for them.
cirstaff1
Really?? That was considered bad manners in my Korean upbringing.
SwedishRationalist
That's strange. My friend's Korean wife slurps and smacks constantly when eating, just like most Koreans I met when I was in South Korea.
cirstaff1
Weird...it's considered classless/rude :/ I was taught not to make noises even when slurping up noodles or soup.
SwedishRationalist
Oh really... Interesting, I must ask some Koreans about that. I thought it was considered normal and acceptable since so many do it.
Neednoggle
My girlfriend's roommate chews with her mouth open. Between the first and last bite, her lips do not touch each other. Ho lee fuuuuuuuuckk!

It bugs the FUCK out of me when someone smackstheir lips. If I waswas to go one a first date and they did that it wouldn't work out

wigglyseaurchin
I literally get the heebie-jeebies when I hear people smack their lips. It's made me leave restaurants.
DoRyu
When I was little I thought lip smacking was literally slapping your own lips. It never made any sense to me as I'd never seen it.
sweetnaivety
I must be immune, it doesn't bother me at all. We have a friend on our skype call who chews loudly into the mic and yet I never notice until
iamagrocerybag
My dad does that, and chews loudly. I love him but I never sit opposite him to eat.
yougonelearntoday
my brother does is, if i bring it up he just does it worse to annoy me so i'll leave the room
creatingusernamesgivesmeanxiety
Yet you're proof that he's gotten laid at least once
iamagrocerybag
3 times in fact. My mum can't stand it either but somehow she gets by

usernumber84
It's natural for toddlers, with much more grip strength than dexterity. It needs to go around kindergarten, but some parents don't care...
Tyrosine68
My oldest son's daycare taught the kids to hold their utensils properly.

yup
xRocketman52x
I am already fascinated. Can you please give us an example where shovel fork got someone fired? Honest curiosity.

No exact story of this happening, but you won't even get to sit in front of clients if your boss sees you doing this.

actuallyacoolusername
You're not supposed to hold kids like that, either.
Tyrosine68
If your job involves social functions with clients your employer may expect impeccable table manners.
tinycrocodile
or even just a modicum of manners. i mean who the hell holds the fork that way (if your fingers aren't hurt). maybe its bc long fingernails?
notsocrazy24
I use the shovel thing to hold my fork when I eat ramen, it makes it easy to twirl the fork around and get the noodles on better. then 1/2
sweetnaivety
as a girl with long fingernails, I can use a fork properly just fine. my nails don't get in the way of doing anything at all actually.
notsocrazy24
again, that's me eating ramen alone in my apartment, so maybe that means nothing.2/2
pisshole
Shovel technique is actually very common in norway.
SteveMcSleeve
I think they mean holding it like this http://www.howdonkey.com/pics/55/hold-a-fork.jpg

Same for cellphones. I had to fire an assistant once because she kept texting during business lunches (with clients at the table).
