What things do you LIKE that most people dislike

[BoobyBetty22]

Saw a similar post so thought it would be interesting to do the opposite

Mine are:

Winter
Rain
Early mornings
Riverdance

Dogs on beds.
Dogs jumping up to say hello.
Dogs doing a pre wash of anything before it goes in the dishwasher
Dogs in general, in case you hadn’t guessed
Wearing shoes indoors.
Other people’s messy houses
Winter, inc. the dark mornings and evenings (and not just because without them we wouldn’t have spring)
And I really liked my MiL (RIP)

Not having to go out.

Salty liquorice
Shy men
The smell of my own farts

Supermarket food shopping. Obviously, with COVID, I've not done much of it these past few moths and we've been doing online orders for years anyway, so I rarely get to indulge

Supermarket shopping abroad is the best! Japanese supermarkets are places of wonder. Even their convenience store are brilliant. Then again, I live in a place where you can’t even buy alcohol at the supermarket

Oh yes and I love winter as well. An walk for miles and miles without getting sweaty and no need to worry about sunscreen.

spiders.....nah, I never go near them - happy to share a room but Im not getting up close

I do like swimming & thunder and lightening and the French and France - wonderful place

I like sauerkraut, along with lentils, grains wholegrain rice which to me has a great nutty flavour, beans and pulses along with fruit cake and the more fruit the better

Cleaning and sorting out as it helps my anxiety. The TV and radio off. Quiet

Cadbury's Dairy Milk
Vast, anonymous, souless 5* all-inclusive hotels.
Bleak, chilly days.
Extremely early nights.
Instant coffee.
Holiday packing.
De-grotting the shower plug hole.
Tidying up.
Driving alone at night.

Liquorice
Jigsaw puzzles
Granny pants

Winter
Dark evenings
Silence
My own company

Don’t I sound fun 😂

Offal, my grandad was a butcher so I was brought up on it. Love sweetbreads and kidney but not liver.

The gorgeous honey stinky smell of a ferret.

Love liver and bacon

If liver is cooked correctly it is superb, unfortunately it is very often cooked wrong & tastes vile if so. Same with Brussels, if over boiled ( if boiling never cook for more than 5 minutes) as it creates chemical reaction and they taste vile. I roast mine

This is just such a lovely positive thread!

Waiting at airports

[quote ADRIENNEthroughbloodshoteyes]@AdoptedBumpkin yes! They’re back in my little village shop - two for a pound! I told my kids how delicious they were... they did the taste test and declared them “disgusting”.[/quote]
Brilliant. I wish they were in my local shop.

Christmas being over

What a lovely thread to read as I'm finally going to bed (last), thanks OP.

I live in a big city in the South East and so many of my friends seem to thrive on big, spontaneous things, whereas I (in middle age) am sort of winding down and realising that it's actually the smaller, intimate things that really give pleasure.

The Trio was my favourite book - 3 books in one Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Titus Alone and I had a video of Gormenghast. Must update that to DVD!

Another one.

Huge, over the top weddings. DH's best friend hired Duns Castle in Scotland for his 3 day wedding extravaganza. Guests wore evening dress and the bride's dress was (personally) designed by Vera Wang. It was awesome, like something out of a film.

And, yes, they are still very happily married nearly 16 years later x
