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!

Jeez you guys, I have a lot of reading to do!

Definitely Harry Potter. I've never been able to finish any of the books or any of the films.

Krispy Kreme donuts. They're just donuts. I prefer a jam donut from Sainsbury's.

Spa days. But having said that I haven't been to a spa in the last 15 years, and plan to go to a decent spa as soon as I can because I'm gullible and people keep telling me they're ace

Steak. I'm not vegetarian and I have had a decent steak in France, but more often than not it's just an over cooked expensive slab of dead cow. There are so many things I'd rather eat than even the best steak.

Cheap package holidays to an overcrowded resort in Europe. I'd rather stay at home.

Pandora anything.

IKEA meatballs started tasting crap after they removed the horse meat. So, to that end, horses.

Funny you should mention that. We think that beefburgers now taste crap since the horse meat scandal. Anyone know if we can buy beef-and-horse-burgers?

Lynette Scavo - I thought I was you till you mentioned steak which I love.

The Cotswolds. Twee countryside for City dwellers

Aaaand Lidl stollen bites. In fact any stollen. Well, just the marzipan bit. Marzipan is the devil’s poo.

Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. Actually all actors playing Mr Darcy are crap but Colin Firth is the worst as a) everyone goes on about him being amazing b) he doesn’t even pretend to try to be funny or witty or sarcastic, he just seems grim faced and arsey throughout.

That “salad” which is just mozzarella and tomatoes in slabs. Got a mate who thinks it’s a real treat and always makes it. Neither of those foods really taste of anything and they’re both wet.

Game of Thrones - No I won’t love it, honestly - my housemate used to watch it and every time I went past someone was being raped or tortured and weirdly that’s not my thing. Why is it your thing? It makes me worry about people.

Any SM “pass it on” thing ESPECIALLY those ones that say eg “Post a picture of your favourite book/cloud/used sanitary towel every day for 10 days. No explanation, just a picture! Nominate a new person each day!” Saw one the other day that was themed on “a picture that shows what it’s like being a mum!” Fuck the fucking fuck off all of it.
