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

Team building away days..... why don't you just douse me in gasoline and toss me a match instead?!

Karaoke - you sound shit, 99% of other people sound shit and you need an awful lot of alcohol. Plus the embarrassment of meeting up with the people you sang with later (worse if it’s a work event).

Lost in translation - boring, pretentious

Candoolili · 08/06/2020 09:46

Has sourdough been mentioned? Dry, chewy, yeasty, full of holes.

Candoolili · 08/06/2020 09:47

Haha @Jeds55 I loved that movie when it first came out. Must have been 19ish? Thought it was great. Watched recently and was soooo bored

Mrsjayy · 08/06/2020 09:56

Lost in translation is the smuggest of films it is so pleased with itself, but it is just dull. Sourdough is rank and a hoha to make my bil was telling me about fermentation blah blah what a faff!

WitchWife · 08/06/2020 15:51

Lost in Translation is boring, pretentious and racist. Really don't see the point of it at all. I remember sitting in the cinema with my dad and us both cringing every time the main characters essentially just laughed at Japanese people for being Japanese, speaking with a Japanese accent etc. Baffling and the two main characters come across as a right pair of twats. But I have friends who say it's their favourite film - and they're nice people so I must be missing something?

Yeah, I get your point @SonEtLumiere - I guess it'd be better if the film combined that with some humanification (yes I made that word up) of the Japanese people. Otherwise it is just treating a whole country/people like a set or props. Makes me v uneasy. Would you be happy watching it with a Japanese friend?

Beer gardens on a warm summer's day. Overcrowded, end up in the shade, endless queue at the bar. Would rather buy alcohol in a supermarket and enjoy it in my garden!

Bluewavescrashing · 08/06/2020 20:17

Yy to high heels! I chucked all mine out a couple of years ago. I'm short, but have to be comfy!

MarinePsychiatrist · 08/06/2020 20:24
