Things that people say are amazing but are actually shit

[Horehound]

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

There are some heathens on here... And also some very astute people who have very good taste - the same as me.

Ant and Dec. Avocados. Alcohol. Perhaps I just don't like anything beginning with A?

Pantomime.

“Entertainment” for idiots

Drag
Kendal mint cake
McDonalds (why cheese in everything at breakfast ?)
Marvel/Superhero films
Sunbathing
Musical theatre

Country life with a lifestyle block - loads of work and nowhere to get a decent coffee.
Keeping chickens - they shit everywhere
Growing your own veg
Louis Vuitton bags - fugly
Big dogs - they stink
Primark
The Gold Coast
Reality TV of any kind
Celebrities
Matte foundation
Kale
Bubble tea
Audis

I like Bali, just not Kuta.

Pandora- don’t get the hype. Just buy real jewellery.

Fake nails. They just look so chavvy. Ditto obvs fake orange tan, massive lashes, slug eyebrows, inches of foundation.

The seaside. Either freezing cold or too hot with no shade. Usually overcrowded in good weather. Sand gets everywhere and I'm scared of the sea.

Center Parcs
Converse
Massive watches
Fake grass
High heels
Lord of the rings
Getting waxed
Beer
Running
Strictly come dancing
Tasting plates
Gazebos
Kids doing endless extracurricular activities

😂😂😂This thread is cracking me up. Now stop dissing Jane Austen.

Empire State Building. You queue for ages Disney style, you don't get the chance to admire the beautiful interior and then you're squashed outside to look at a not very interesting view. As it was so crowded, I was given the opportunity to use the stairs (only a few flights!) Apparently this isn't usually the case so you get to queue and see inside some lifts.

@ukholidaysaregreat I did an MA Lit just so I COULD say I'm not impressed by Austen or Lawrence. I prefer Burney.

Mrs Hinch and her tedious books

Socialising. Actually, people, generally.

Omg, Ikea food and biscoff spread is food of the gods!

Flea bag I hated it

Sunshine. Makes me feel guilty for sitting indoors. And it's too bright.

Emma Barnett - not everything about her, she clearly does her research. But I cringe at the attacking style she employs no matter who she’s interviewing or what the interview is about.
Glad some other people dislike Fleabag. I thought I was the only one.

Getting food from Borough Market. However nice the food, I don't want to eat on a dirty kerbside or standing up in a horribly crowded space.

Any kind of televised talent competition.

Some modern art.

Gin and Tonic
Tastes like perfume to me.

Nando's
Mrs brown's boys
All cheese
IKEA meatballs
NYE
Heavy contour make up
Skinny Jean's
Sugar in tea or coffee
Football
Wimbledon

ALL modern art
All BBC drama series
Alcohol
Pub quizzes

• Hen dos. Always so expensive and putting a bunch of women together with alcohol is always going to cause bitchiness and drama.
• Marriage. It's not some fairy tale, despite what Disney says.
• Baby showers. Seems materialistic to invite people to a gathering with a presumption that they'll bring a gift. I know a number of women who have outwardly admitted this is the only reason they had one. 😳
• Asking guests for money as a wedding gift. I find it so naff. I was even invited to a wedding by a couple who are both wealthy bankers and they did this. So wrong! I still begrudge contributing now, as I earn a pittance in comparison.
• Dogs. They smell out your home, lick you and shed hair everywhere.
• Making sourdough bread. I'm doing this at the moment and it's already taken almost two weeks to get a starter going. What a timely faff.
• Festivals
• Camping
• Having children
• Makeup. You're covering up imperfections on your skin, whilst making your skin worse with all the chemicals they contain. 🤔
• Hot weather.
• Christmas. A marketer's dream.
• Yoga.

Black velvet - Guinness and champagne.

Ruined good champagne when I tried it

Also, cocktails.

Unless you spend a fortune, it's often watered down with loads of ice. A sugary, sticky mess.
