Cringe is one of the most human emotions there is. With all of our complicated social rules and hierarchies, it's inevitable that we are going to have a visceral reaction to other people (or ourselves) doing it wrong. It gets even more complex when we're sorting between the categories of honest mistakes and full-on evil actions, plus the murky sliding scale in-between.

It's never easy, which means we have no choice but to take a little comic relief in some of the faux pas committed by our fellow man. None of us gets it right all of the time, although some seem more determined to follow this path than others. It makes for some addictively terrible viewing, and that's why we have yet another list of cringe here for you. At least we can comfort ourselves with the fact that we know not to act like some of those who are featured here.
