"Ever been on a date and suddenly felt completely turned off for no clear reason? You might have caught the ick. And according to a new roundup, a lot of those icks happen at the dinner table. We’re talking surprising manners, strange food habits, and a few stories you won’t forget.
There’s even a website where people anonymously submit their ick moments, and the food‑related ones are… something else.
According to submissions on submityourick.com, about 15% of icks happen at a restaurant or bar, and 38% are tied to manners or etiquette. Basically, dinner is a minefield.
🤢 The Food Icks People Can’t Get Over
Here are some of the most unforgettable ones people shared:
- A date took someone to a “pay what you want” restaurant… and paid nothing.
- Someone poured water for their date, only to hear, “How masculine of you.”
- One person spent eight hours making their grandmother’s pasta sauce. Their date covered it in Cajun seasoning before tasting it.
- After a homemade steak dinner, a guy wiped his greasy hands on the bathrobe he borrowed.
- A first date announced he only eats meat and fruit because vegetables have “anti‑nutrients.”
- A guy bragged about making pizza, then revealed his “hack” was using tortillas as the crust.
- Someone took a date for pho, and he dumped sugar in it before tasting.
- One man tried to make salmon tartare… by eating a whole raw piece of salmon, skin and all.
