Sydney’s ‘Miss Double Bay’ creates an ‘ultimate ick list’ about men: Driving a Hyundai Getz, whispering and drinking from a straw
An Australian woman has left hundreds of people in stitches with her long list of things men do that give her the creeps.
Popular satire account Miss Double Bay, run by Sydney-based Claudia Bursill, shared the 50 plus list including things like when he whispers, runs with a backpack on, or still uses a hotmail email address.
Also considered a turn is when a man paddles doggy style, starts a conga line on a night out, drinks from a straw, and even waits at a pedestrian light for the green man.
The micro-influencer’s tongue-in-cheek ick list amused many of her 56,000 followers, who were quick to share their own things men do that turn them off.
Some of Claudia’s icks would spark attention in many women, such as men introducing themselves as “entrepreneurs,” making their golf hobby a “personality trait,” having a “signature scent,” bringing a loudspeaker to the beach and Burning Man photos on their dating profile .

Others were downright bizarre, like waiting for the green man to cross the road, seeking shade when it’s hot, traveling with a soft suitcase, saying the word “foam,” running after the bus and bending over to pick up dog poop.
“If they can’t find a place to put their bag in the overhead locker on an airplane,” the list continued.
‘Parakeet smugglers with fruit or animals on the – STAY WITH THE CLASSICS.’
Some men’s food and drink preferences were examined, including taste-testing ice cream with a baby spoon, drinking milk or ‘sippy yoghurt’, ordering a takeaway espresso shot or Bircher muesli in a café and tasting craft beer.
“Standing there naked waiting for the shower to heat up” was another point, as was “Talking about their gap year after 21.”
‘They lost their balance on the bus, resulting in fast steps.’
Other items on the ick list include when men use lip balm, drink from a bubbler, wear sockettes, use emojis during an argument over texting, don’t properly rub their sunscreen on their face, rock climb, or drive a Hyundai Getz.
There were some Sydney-specific problems, including finding men who went to the University of Sydney or lived at Bondi Junction, a turnoff.
The name Alan was also something Miss Double Bay couldn’t communicate as well as whisper, as she only had two pillows on the bed and was carrying a backpack on a Friday night out.
‘Did I miss something?’ Claudia captioned the post encouraging women to share their own ridiculous icks in the comments.
“Holds their finger over the stop button on the bus before the bus has even left,” one woman wrote.
“The white stuff on the sides of their mouths when they’ve talked too much,” said another.
“Takes pictures of his hands on the wheel of a car with a watch on it,” a third added.
“With the wipers on the fastest setting,” laughed a fourth.
