Yeah cruises. Trapped on a ship with people stuffing themselves and roasting themselves by a too small pool with a tiny room to go back to. He’ll.

redspider1 · 14/06/2019 21:41

Hell not he’ll

Mumtoone39 · 14/06/2019 21:41

Going to the beach , or more specifically sand. It gets in everything and everywhere.

pictish · 14/06/2019 21:51

Oh agree. I don’t like the actual beach. Too sandy.
Love coastal walks, cliff trailing and rock-pooling and all that but sitting around on sand does nothing for me except make my lunch and my arse, gritty.

The80sweregreat · 14/06/2019 21:53

Hot weather
Liver and bacon ( gross)
Clubbing / noisy pubs
Coffee ( in any disguise )
False nails / gel nails
Football / cricket
Most sports/ Olympics etc etc. Boring
Posh make up

The80sweregreat · 14/06/2019 21:54

Oh yes, sand. Should be banned. It's just a pita!

FlatheadScrewdriver · 14/06/2019 21:55

YY to yoga, meditation, mindfulness...dull as fuck, can we get on with something useful please?
Beer.
Seafood.
Theatre.
Hiking. I like a brief wander of no more than an hour with no need for boots or gear, or I like a run.
Any holiday longer than three nights.
Radio where they talk at you, agh hate it. Radio is for playing music, not yammering on. Radio drama is like a double-hit - all the pain of theatre piped through radio. Kill me.

growlingbear · 14/06/2019 21:57

Pilates. I can lie on the floor and lift my arms over my head without a teacher. What is the actual point of it? All my friends rave about it.

Cherrysoup · 14/06/2019 21:58

Going out on a Friday night. I’d far rather stop in, drink vodka and eat chocolate.

Bananas

The80sweregreat · 14/06/2019 22:05

I hate clothes shopping and jewellery.
Pandora would shut down if it relied on me to buy any of it.

TheSmallClangerWhistlesAgain · 14/06/2019 22:20

Parsnips. I like carrots and sweet potatoes which taste vaguely similar but I can't deal with them.

Collectors' editions of books. I love reading but I'm more than happy with a Kindle download or a paperback. Other people seem to think that liking reading means that I would like heavy limited editions of childrens' books or similar.

Chesntoots · 14/06/2019 22:23

On paper GoT is so my thing. I've tried four times and given up now.

TheToxicCoccyx · 14/06/2019 22:26

House of cards. Crap.

Ivegotthree · 14/06/2019 22:26

Spas

Getting my hair done

Tupperwarelid · 14/06/2019 22:46

the80s oh yes I ‘d forgotten Pandora. I’m a freak amongst friends and my mother as I don’t own any. Can’t stand all the stupid overpriced charms

longwayoff · 14/06/2019 22:47

Avocado. Every so often I buy one intending to give it another go. I look at it every day but can't bring myself to try it. After its hung around for 7-10 days I bin it. Psychological block I think.

growlingbear · 14/06/2019 22:53

Oh yes, girly shopping trips. My idea of hell is having to shop with anyone at all.

The Hobbit. I've read through the entirity of The Lord of The Rings but boredom always thrawts me. I don't need 20 pages to introduce a bunch of dwarves.

Tea and coffee are so rank that I don't even want to like them. I'm intolerant to milk which really doesn't help.

It would be good if I genuinely enjoyed most vegetables. Some like broccolli I have to smuggle into my mouth with other food to mask their texture. Sweetcorn. It would be good if it wasn't revolting, stinky and chewy as it's an easy food and DH & the DCs like it.

American comedy. Everyone goes mad for it and I just find it horribly contrived and try hard.

SudowoodoVoodoo · 14/06/2019 23:22

Slip on shoes. I wish it was possible to be able to put them on, move, the shoe to stay on my foot AND not scour the skin off like a cheese grater.
Much daintier and polished than having to be strapped into all footwear, but they aren't worth the pain and skin loss.

jaydaddy · 14/06/2019 23:38

For me, it's dogs. I feel as though you can't admit that without being jumped on by society, it's almost taboo.

WellTidy · 14/06/2019 23:46

Clothes shopping for myself

Shoe shopping for myself

Mushrooms

Anything with a floret - hate the texture in my mouth

Fantasy programmes, films or books

Ditto sci fi
