Things that people say are amazing but are actually shit

I'll start:
The food at IKEA. Especially the over hyped meatballs!
Cheap crap!

Touche Éclat
Vimto
TikTok

False nails

@Velvian

Yes to hot tubs and gel nails. Long nails are so unhygienic, I don't know why keeping nails short isn't up there with the 20 second hand washing.

Mojitos taste like toothpaste with a hint of bin.

Again gel nails don’t have to be long, mine end at my fingertips. None of you who are dissing them would even know they were gels.

@LazyFace

Wine.

It's like drinking vinegar, really.

I much prefer a glass of decent cider.

Tattoos. I don’t doubt that some of them are unique, artistic & beautiful.

The other 99.9%, however, are an ugly, unoriginal, chavvy mess. Every time I see a beautiful young woman who has defaced her lovely skin, I just think ‘oh dear, what a shame’.

Champagne or prosecco
Soaps or reality tv

Shower sex or any sex in water

Expensive beauty product advent calendars
All bought after seeing endless recommendations on Mumsnet, all rubbish

Oh yes, spas are totally over rated. Far too expensive for what you get, no real pressure in the massage...you need to go to an Asian country for that.

Double wear makeup.
The Ordinary
Hen nights
Twilight books
Sushi
Working

Oh thought of another...

Reusable nappies.
They are a faff and I don't care if anyone says they arent. They bloody are!

@elquinto I'm your friend and I like your list. (I only watch Clooney only in "O brother where art thou")

Ikea meatballs and pride and prejudice are basically my entire personality 😭

Jay Blades. Completely pointless and unskilled. Carries on as if he’s a master craftsman but barely knows which way up to hold a hammer.

Professional sports
Magicians
Karaoke
Tea (the drink)

Books by Dr Seuss.

Magic marker eyebrows.

Totally agree on the Ikea meatballs ! Last time I had them I was ill !!

Making your own wine or beer not envy.

Holidays in France.

Doing crafts with your kids.

Side hustle. Just extra work and stress for very little actual benefit!
