When the ick strikes, it’s often the death knell for any fledgling relationship. Once you’ve realised that the sight of them wearing flip-flops makes you shudder internally, or that their insistence of carrying their passport around in a plastic wallet on holiday is enough to induce mild nausea, it’s pretty clear that this is not a love story for the ages.

“When you’ve seen a boy and got the ick, it doesn’t go,” Love Island’s Olivia Atwood said in 2017. “It’s caught you and it’s taken over your body.” She wasn’t wrong, but that insidious icky feeling isn’t limited to your dating life - you can experience it in the world of work too. Viscerally so – just think back to a meeting filled with empty buzzwords that sent shivers down your spine (after almost a decade in journalism, I’ve wondered whether I’d somehow fallen into an episode of W1A approximately 642 times) or the last time you forced a smile when your boss referred to the company as “just like family.”
