What do you look forward to/crave but is never as good as you hope?

For me it's baths. Never quite the experience I expect. Yet most days I feel like I really want one and look forward to it. Only to be bored after 5 minutes.

Chinese takeaway. Indian is always great but Chinese never as satisfying as I hope.

Shop bought cakes. Some look amazing, but just are never quite as good as home made. Chocolate in particular.

Boxes of chocolates too, look lovely but just not as tasty as a bar or m&s giant buttons.

Most clothes I buy online, always end up shapeless, see through or sit wrong and I never end up with bambi legs Shock

Shop bought cake, and fairly often desserts too!

Yy to baths. I've decided it's the lighting in my bathroom and the depth of the bath which makes them unsatisfying.

Cant change either if them without redoing the whole room.

Takeaways apart from the one I had last night which was amazing!

Chippy chips. They smell so much better than they taste.

Frownette · 09/04/2021 08:06

Hot chocolate

Donuts - they smell amazing in the shop, but the reality is generally a stodgy sugary let down. Most fish and chips too.

Fish and chips

Definitely online clothes shopping.

Takeaway ramen. I get excited because it's available but it's never EVER good. Ramen does not travel well.

Also, Subway smells amazing and is actually just an overpriced lukewarm sandwich.

Fish and chips

That's so sad. Holidays are always as good as or better than I imagine. What's going wrong?

Parties. I love the idea of them but in reality stand around wondering who the hell to talk to and whether I am boring the people I'm chatting with and whether I've drunk too much and am dancing disgracefully and whether it's rude to leave early etc.

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz you can get sink hole covers for the bath so you can have a deeper bath. Not sure if that's helpful for you?
