...pretty much from the moment I open my eyes, or mouth....either one really.....
A couple hours ago. My husband pulled a tick off the cat. I had to hold the cat still but didn't look away fast enough and saw the engorged tick. Definitely cringe-worthy.
As far as SKMB posts, I've had my long-winded drunken night posts. I cringe to read em the next day; not because of anything I've said, or the quality of my typing or sentence structure (skills that hold up under severe mental altering), but because it's just so much wasted blather. The modern equivalent of those 3am drunken phone calls from yer uncle Ronnie that used to last for hours...
If I don't watch it tonight'll be one of those nights. Whoops!

I must say, your sentence structure has been outstanding in all the years on the boards, Rat.
Even in the backroom days.
I do typos. And sometimes forget periods. Most typos tend to be funny to me, so I leave them.

For God's Sack
That type deserves some kind of award - Best Blasphemy Ever (as quoted by dear Grandpa).
I cringed last night. My beloved son did something really stupid. And I had to take care of him. And I cringed. He's really sorry today. The good news: it ruined the trip to my mother in law's!

Hope everything is okay!
The last thing that made me cringe was one of those things that you can't see, but you know is there just the same.
And it kept moving.
It was all very troubling.

Today... at work... a family... ( I expected to hear banjo music from the room)
It isn't nice to judge.. but have been dealing with them the last two days and OMG. Glad you made this thread so I could vent!!
I mean... how many kids do people have before they realize the engine aint in the car!?!?

Last night, when I was reading the part in The Wastelands where
, I cringed, screamed, and had the general heebie-jeebies!
the huge spiders fall on Jake in the Mansion
At least you don't need a laxative.
I grew up rebellious and stupid. I have to work not to remember about certain things I've done and said in the past. That work is cringing. Good for the cringe muscles.Was it something you posted and then read later? Or just a memory that still does it for ya?

Me too, friend. It seems no matter how much crap my kids manage to get into, they're still better people than I was at their age. Makes me appreciate aging big-big.
I am the Tommy Lee Jones of cringe muscles.
Here I am in the seventh decade of life, and stupid, socially-awkward things from my childhood and teenage years still make me cringe.
But the last time? Sometimes here in autumn, we get a lot of elderbugs flying around. They sorta look like fireflies. They don't bite, they don't sting, they don't try to eat your food - they're just omnipresent and annoying. About a week ago, I reached for the coffeecup at the office, took in a swallow, thought, "Hm, too many grounds in this one. Don't wanna chew the coffee," spit it back into the cup, and it was a big ol' elderbug who had mistakenly, and fatally, used my coffeecup for a swimming pool. Did.Not.Like. If I didn't outwardly cringe, the cringe was strong with this one.

eeegads! this reminded me of the time I picked a plum right off the tree, examined it briefly and bit in. My mouth was alive with the sound of earwigs! YES! About 5 of them still alive and a couple I had chewed. I couldn't get that out of my mouth fast enough!
