Spa days / weekends.

I'd like the treatments but the wondering around in a robe and eating healthy food .... nah.

Gin, flavoured and unflavoured - smells and tastes like perfume.

Cocktails - have never understood the excitement.

Cheesecake - if it is the only dessert on offer I would rather do without.

Doughnuts - all the fuss around Krispy Kreme. We have had a Tim Hortons open near us (coffee and donuts) - another five minute wonder.

Fleabag - couldn’t get past the first episode

Blogs - 98% dull. By all means keep one as a diary but don’t expect others to read it.

Sriracha. I like hot and spicy things. I like garlic. Sriracha should be right up my street. Bought a bloody huge bottle in Aldi and was excited to try it. It’s really not very nice.

SubisYodrethwhenLarping · 14/06/2019 19:47

I see others don't like tea and coffee either

So quite a few MNetters agree

Squash, water or milk are fine for adults GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

FizzBuzzBangWoof · 14/06/2019 19:50

I feel I should love the Greatest Showman but I can very much take it or leave it

I do love Mamma Mia though!

proudestofmums · 14/06/2019 19:51

Children, other than my own (who’s actually an adult but still)

TeaAndCake · 14/06/2019 19:55

Soooo much on this thread!
Coffee, LOVE the smell of it, always hated the taste.

Porridge, so good for you, wish I liked it but makes me gag. Sloppy hot milk. Eurgh.

Alcohol, can't stand it. It all tastes rank. Also, I really hate feeling drunk.

Radiohead. On paper they are right up my street, lots of guitars, a whiny voiced singer. There is a small handful of their songs which I really love but just don't get the full picture when trying to listen to full albums. Loads of people have Radiohead albums on their 'all time life changing music' lists but I don't get it.

Breaking Bad. I watched the first two series twice but couldn't care less about anyone in it. Gave up.

InglouriousBasterd · 14/06/2019 20:00

Most alcohol - I’m just not bothered
Yoga - but I quite like Pilates, weirdly
Shopping with other people - fuck no
Having a partner - I like my own space too much

Kanga83 · 14/06/2019 20:00

People. I should like people but I generally don't. Small talk, chit chat, social events,I have a low tolerance of stupidity. I sound horrid. I'm actually a lovely person and very loyal but on the whole I just don't like people.

Jupiters · 14/06/2019 20:01

Coffee, gin, wine, beer, mussels, vegetables.

Fraxion · 14/06/2019 20:03

Olivia Coleman. Ok she's a person not a thing but I don't get the love for her.

I thought I was the only one who felt like that!

Queenoftheashes · 14/06/2019 20:07

My boyfriend.

Geraniumpink · 14/06/2019 20:11

The Greatest Showman. I feel I must be missing something vital, but really didn’t like the film or the songs.

betterbehomesoon · 14/06/2019 20:12

Gin - hate everything about it.
Bananas - naturally packaged fruit with so many good things about it but GROSS!!

lotusbell · 14/06/2019 20:13

Any Champagne, I think its all grim. Wine also.

I'll stick to vodka Wine

Olives, bananas, salted caramel, People.

InsertFunnyUsername · 14/06/2019 20:17

Yes to musicals, i sink lower and lower into my chair the more they sing. Beauty and beast was torture for me.

vampirethriller · 14/06/2019 20:20

Sport. I come from a very sporty family but I cannot stand it, any of it, in any form. It makes no sense to me.
Kale. I know it's healthy but it tastes like wet trousers.
Lord Of the Rings, it goes on forever and the books are awful.

RedPandaFluff · 14/06/2019 20:20

Massages. They bloody hurt, even when I ask them to ease up I still seem to end up with bruises. I'd prefer to pay to be gently stroked for an hour.

Jeffter · 14/06/2019 20:24

Gin
Olives
Mushy peas
Perfectly acceptable names like Nathan that my friends have used for their children

violetdazed · 14/06/2019 20:45

Coffee. I've tried really hard to like it but I just can't. Always feel a bit of a granny when I ask for a cup of tea at the end of a meal!!!

Silvercatowner · 14/06/2019 20:50

I forgot Cruises

Flippingflipflop · 14/06/2019 21:32
