Most cringeworthy thread you have ever read?
Discussion
Any thread with a veiled promotional mention of Nando's and their delicious, wholesome offerings of Portuguese chicken dishes served in a friendly, informal setting.
Those posters are obviously just trying to get a freebie - for instance, at the Aberdeen, Belmont Street restaurant around 12:15.

I was going to take the piss until I noticed your location now I understand. It must be considered fine dining round your way.Those posters are obviously just trying to get a freebie - for instance, at the Aberdeen, Belmont Street restaurant around 12:15.

PH relevant link above, but I've always found any thread where people announce that they are leaving a forum. Extra points when the user is not an especially known user on said forum.
I always think that, it has the sense of a rather embarrassing attention seeking flamboyant strop - "I'm off, I hate this place and all you s
ts, now nobody do anything to stop me ......anyone...?"
Particularly embarrassing if the stroppee is moaning about attention whoring in the first place.
This made me cringe a little:
A far better analogy would be if the tailor somehow found himself in posession of one of Michael Jackson sequinded jackets that by some quirk of fate, had been altered at some point and purely by chance fitted Unrep. Now unrep is a MASSIVE fan of MJ and would kill for one of these jackets. He isn't bothered by the price sticker (albeit a TRUE MJ fan would know that the jacket has been devalued by the previous alterations-so making it practically unsaleable at that figure to anyone else)
Unrep pays a deposit and enters into a contract for the purchase of the jacket. The follow day, after doing a bit of research, decides the jacket isn't for him after all. The jacket is now essentially unsaleable and worth half what Unrep paid for it. Do you think the tailor has an actionable claim?
So what was that an analogy of? Someone who'd put a deposit on a secondhand VW Passat one afternoon and realised overnight that they'd made a mistake and was asking whether they'd get their deposit back.
I had a lot of sympathy regarding the poor reputation of car salesmen before that thread, but they successfully convinced me that it was justified after all.
The whole thread is pretty funny. The nub of it was that the car salesmen argued that there was no way the OP should get his deposit back and anyone that did never ever came back to buy a car anyway so pissing off the customer didn't matter.
Meanwhile, the OP had his deposit refunded by the dealer the next day and bought another car off the same dealer a week later.
The thread was then quickly closed.
All very cringeworthy.

Oh, and on a simpler note, anyone who thinks it's cool to use the expression "Leptons".
They seem to somehow feel that if they put "100mph" someone will immediately appear on their door and arrest them.
Put "100 leptons" however and they're like some cool underworld figure foxing The Law at every turn.
FFS.
