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!

I love so many of people's entire lists on here. Can't believe people don't like going on holiday!

Mine -
Live, laugh, love or similar shite on plaques
95% of tattoos
Junk food
Men with wide calves in skinny jeans
White socks
Soaps (the tv kind)
Musicals
Ed Sheeran's lyrics
Ditto Ellie Goulding
Grey sparkly carpets
The smell of Fabric conditioner
Angel or poison perfume
The Canary Islands
Haribo sweets

P&O Cruise holidays
Fake nails
Fake lashes
X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, Love Island
Sainsburys
Lockdown

McDonalds

Christmas
Working in recruitment especially rec2rec.

Downton Abbey.
So cliched and predictable.

The only redeeming feature was Maggie Smith.

MLM's and NM.

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class. Cramped and nothing special.

Centreparcs. Hobnobs. Superga shoes

Beyonce.

So much fawning and sycophancy for a screamy, shouty woman.

Prosecco - upset it ousted Cava from most venues
The Alchemist - banal
Spa days - expensive, awkward and dull
Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Dominoes Pizza - rank
Love Actually
KFC - I try it about once a decade and I don't get it
Mamma Mia! - A cringefest.
The Mona Lisa. - well it's not crap, but LDV did much more engaging work and its just so small and brown. If it wasn't famous and it was hanging in a corridor of an old Scottish hotel, nobody would give it a second glance.

The girl on a train (book)

Re lost in translation, I think if there was a film like that about Japanese (or any) people being discombobulated by British culture, a British person wouldn’t be offended by it - they’d understand that. Japanese people may too. It’s about alienation and not being on the same wavelength. Plus a lot of what the main characters find difficult isn’t cultural stereotypes, but things like what the advertising people want and the faceless hotel and even the husband’s vacuous American friend. At other times they do get involved with Japanese culture without a problem. I didn’t see it as racist, when that was suggested I felt bad about that, but on reflection I’m not sure. Though I realise Japanese people’s opinion is what counts.

Men with wide calves in skinny jeans

I've never heard anyone say that men with wide calves in skinny jeans are amazing. Pretty sure that's not a thing!

I've not been impressed with many tourist destinations.
Living in London.

Nando's
Sherlock Holmes (the Benedict Cumberbatch ones)

Oh and the 1917 movie

Portmerion - very expensive to get in and just a village with shops selling plates.

Total agree with you, @YourVagesty. Can't understand why the majority of celebs worship at the altar of Queen Bey. I think she's vastly overrated but has somehow got to that level of fame where she only needs to sneeze and it's classed as musical genius.

@Lotusbell exactly! And saying that you don't like her is tantamount to being in North Korea and saying that you don't much like The Supreme Leader. People get strangely worked up and scream at you that you can't not love 'QUEEN BEY'! I don't rate her music, she's not my friend, I can say what I like.

I'm just not that mad keen on that level of conformity.

The worship for her, particularly by other females is unfathomable! Mind you, I'm not overly keen on the term 'queen' anyway.

Mr Darcy has little experience of flirting, has no light conversation skills (everyone thought he was stuck-up and disagreeable by the end of the first evening - how many of us have been there?) and finds dancing with someone he doesn't know to be excruciatingly awkward (my personal head-canon is that Lizzy misheard what he actually said, which was "pretty is not enough to tempt me"). When he discovers that Lizzy has a system for dealing with (what to him is) this ordeal he is utterly flabbergasted.

Rosè - tastes like the devil’s urine, and I like wine.
Musicals
Stranger Things
The south of France
4WDs
Long haul travel
Leather leggings
Running
Lorde
Westworld
IKEA generally (it’s not just the meatballs)
The internet
Working from home
Zoom yoga
Zoom “catchups”
Zoom anything

@MarinePsychiatrist you haven't met my colleague. He works out daily to fully embrace the spray on trouser look. I wince just looking at him. And pray he doesn't sneeze..

you haven't met my colleague.

Haha. Well here's hoping I never do then!!
