26 Cringe Attempts People Made to Be Quirky

Millennials will spend the rest of their lives reckoning with the effect 500 Days of Summer had on their psyches. And while we can’t blame Zooey Deschanel for everything, we can definitely blame her for one thing — quirky girls who play ukuleles. 

Of course, this particular quirkiness is a farce, which makes it all the more grating. It seems presumptuous for me to claim that they’re pretending to like the ukulele, like I’m the quirkiness police or something, but we have to be reasonable. No one has a genuine interest in the ukulele — they want attention, and use a cursed instrument to get it. 

Redditors know a little something about these kinds of people, and have recalled the most cringe methods they’ve witnessed them use in order to command the attention of the room. If this behavior sounds familiar to you, know that cringe phases are normal, but it’s imperative that you wrap them up before your fake accent or vampire fetish haunts too many people. 

Innocent lives are at stake.
