What do think is soooo over rated?

[Overseasmom100]

For me it's Gin.
It's taking over the flipping spirit aisles with pink gin, rhubarn gin, parma violet gin, orange marmalde gin 😡

Get a grip folks...you've sucumbbed to marketing!!

70%+ dark chocolate.

It's very expensive and tastes like cardboard. I'm more of a Galaxy person.

Foreign travel and France in particular. I lived there until I could legally return to the UK. Hated it. I also worked abroad for a number of years and apart from my time in the US I can say it was pretty average, Australia in particular, just about the most racist place I ever worked, worse than France even.

"Influencers". Seriously? Get a proper job and stop poncing around Dubai half dressed. God I feel old.

Made a lot of money tho, which was the point of it. Bought our house in Richmond outright so wasn’t all bad but I wouldn’t do it again.

Star bucks and Costa. I've never ever understood their appeal

Noodly “street food”. Bland slop.
Nandos. No appeal, cheeky or not.
Reality TV. I’d rather stare at the wall.
McDonalds, Burger King, KFC etc. Ok 2 or 3 times a year, but no more.
Watching sport on TV. I’d rather be doing it.
The media. A bunch of shit-stirring cunts.
Any ‘joining in’ activity. “Swing your arms in the air and shout Yeeaahh!!” Fuck off.
Chris Evans. Needs a baseball bat to the back of the head.

I'm rewatching The Night Manager, so what comes to mind is Tom Hiddleston. And chain-shop coffee. I suspect it's for those who don't really like coffee.

Lobster. I thought it was supposed to be a delicious luxury and I was very very disappointed

Going on holiday.

It's a real pfaff with all the expense and planning that has to go with it, and I hate packing, the airport procedures, the flights at vile times so my sleep and routine is all out of kilter. One good thing about Covid is that we've not been able to go anywhere (but I won't tell my husband that as he is desperate to go on holiday!)

I say that to my family and i get gyp, in return! I'm miserable, apparently. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Doesn't change the fact that I'm right, though.

@Takebackthepower

Wait has nobody said sex yet..

Oh just me then

It depends on who you're having sex with, surely??

@PuppyMonkey

Gravy.

You take that back!

@WhydoesItAlwaysRainMe I was also going to say Nandos!!

Doesn't change the fact that I'm right, though

Yes holidays are definitely overrated. They turn everyone into arseholes while you prepare for them then you are stuck in a caravan or a hotel room with them for a week or two.

all that time money and effort and a pile of washing and an argument and a few excess pounds r all there is of them...

Nando's. It's just chicken.

Haha, just read thread and see I am not alone!

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal

McDonalds. You all seem to love it and regard it as a real "treat". It's not a treat. It's something you have when you stop at motorway services and you have to eat something because it's another three hours before you reach your destination and damn it, this one doesn't have an M&S.

Bleurgh.

My thoughts exactly! For me, McDonalds is for emergencies only. Many times DH and I have skipped eating en route because the only eatery available was a McDonalds. How anyone would ever actively choose to eat there in the presence of other options is beyond my comprehension!

Boden and Hush. Ridiculous prices for shit clothes. Oh and bloody Joules.

Big eyebrows - slug brows are not a good look.

Contouring makeup - makes everyone look weird and old.

Botox - who are you kidding? Of course we can tell

Porta-Loos - germ filled stinking boxes of doom.

Aldi/Lidl - don't get it. Have tried and tried, but can't get the foods I want. Not worth the hassle.

Disney
Alcohol
"Adrenaline" activities e.g. skydiving
Rap music
AIBU
YouTube (at the moment, I seem to be watching the same few recommended videos on a loop)
Sympathy cards - looking at mine on the mantlepiece now and realising that I haven't even read the words on most of them, just who they're from. I'd SO much prefer for someone to text and just ask how we are! Does that make me an ungrateful little shit?

COVID-19
Instagram

HRT

@KenAdams of god yes - I agree!

Afternoon tea.

People pay a fortune for some sandwiches and scones that you can make at home.

Skincare routines. I don't think those who use special face washes, toners and creams have better skin than those who don't.

If you’re stuck in a caravan with arseholes, you’re not doing holidays right
