TIS | S1E4 - Not Hate, Just... Personal Ick

It’s not quite hate, but it’s definitely an ick—we’re listing the tiny things people do that make us want to walk away.

Hosts: Naatashar, Seet, and Lingeysh.

It’s not quite hate, but it’s definitely a dealbreaker. This week, the trio lists the tiny, everyday behaviors that make them want to run in the opposite direction. From the specific condescending tone of a stranger saying "excuse me" to the absolute lack of self-awareness on public transport, no pet peeve is too small for discussion.

The hosts dive into the world of "icks" in the wild: bag-hoggers on the MRT, the blinding glow of a phone screen in a dark cinema, and the "workplace mooch" who always has their hand out for treats but never contributes to the office snack fund. They also explore why "open-mindedness" has become a major red flag on dating apps and why slow drivers in the fast lane deserve their own special place in hell.

Key Highlights:

• MRT Madness: The "ick" of people who think their bag needs its own seat.
• Cinema Etiquette: Why your phone screen is a spotlight for everyone but you.
• The Office Moocher: Those who demand the treats but never buy the round.
• Fast Lane Frustrations: The "slow driver" syndrome that triggers peak road rage.
• Dating App Deception: Decoding the "open-minded" cliché and why it’s an instant swipe left.
