Lidl
Crap tv like love island and eastenders
Alcohol
Popular youtubers and instagrammers.who divulge every part of their personal life, including their sex life. And hideous titles such as mine and my husbands first time and my boyfriend judges my slutty underwear. Get a bloody grip.
Friends. Stopped watching it because joey is obsessed with porn and women and in the end I had enough of listening to people talking sex and crap in literally every episode.
Grey decor. Some is ok. But not every room like the dark ages.
Candy crush. Really dont get the obsession.
Christmas.
New years eve.
Any chance to get bladdered.
Phil and Holly. Cant stand them.
Susanna Reid posing every morning.
Games of thrones.
Obsession with storylines in soaps. Who cares
Mrs hunch or Hinch cleaning routines
Strictly come crap.
Big brother when it was on.
Bacon sandwiches or hot dogs. Pork is disgusting.
Really chavvy blinged up dummies and buggies with silly diamante on them.
Tattoos on the face. My brother really spoiled his lovely face. With octagon patterns and tear drops on his cheeks. I kid you not.
Tesco. Asda is better.
Booze scented candles. I'd rather not have my home smelling like a pub.
50 shades of bloody grey.

Afternoon tea.

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

Oh hell yes.

I'm constantly baffled that people will pay through the nose for some tiny sandwiches, a stale scone and a wee glass of supermarket prosecco, and then claim they enjoyed it.

Bilgepumper · 13/01/2021 13:57

Pizza and it's vastly over priced.

Follows through to fancy restaurants too doesn't it? The less you get of something the more you pay. Whats the point of going out for a meal and going home hungry Confused

A fool and his money....as they say

These threads are almost daily now aren't they. They usually start if ok but then descend in to snarling horrors. So many very angry people!

Large expensive German cars

Crossbreed dogs as in the labradoodle, the westiepoo, the jackshit - whatever.

Dubai - why on earth would anyone want to go there?

Peloton exercise bikes - being praised by a lycra-clad sadist.

Sushi - I like my fish cooked to make sure it is dead.

PattyPan · 13/01/2021 14:23

@LadyJaye

70%+ dark chocolate.

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

I’m the opposite - don’t see the point of chocolate with more sugar than cocoa solids! Galaxy is practically tasteless.

Sushi isn't fish. It's rice. You can get sushi pieces with raw fish or vegetables. Raw fish is sashimi.

I might be able to make scones at home but I'd never make sandwiches, scones, chocolate brownie, lemon meringue, macaroons at home at the same time, walk not with someone else doing the washing up

Plastic fake nails,
Lip fillers,
Crossbreed dogs: no they are not a labradoodle, puggle or what ever two names put together... in my day they were called mongrels or mutts.

SixStringFanjo · 13/01/2021 16:21

The 'good ol' days'.

Difficult to justify right at this moment; true. It's comforting to reminisce all the good things but overall the world has never been, wealthier, healthier, wiser, shown better moral values than at any time in it's past.
I love history but know my lot would have been a lot worse if born even a short time before I actually became a being.
