People who can't accept that you don't share the same interests.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I have a camping fanatic friend who has been trying for years to get me to go camping with her. I tried camping once. Never again. I hated every second of it.

I now have a friend who is obsessed with the gym, particularly lifting weights and even though I have nerve damage in both arms,and can lift very little, particularly without severe pain, she keeps going on about how good for you it is and how I should try it.

They're both otherwise lovely people and I don't think there's anything wrong with suggesting once or twice, as they might find a new hobby they love but why would you go on and on about it?

Does anyone else have someone who does this to them?

The pp who mentioned walking reminded me. I live in a hamlet famous for its slate quarry long-disused. It's a magnet for runners, nordic marchers and cyclists. Given that the other side of the road opposite my front door is at most 6m from my sofa I just wish they'd keep their bloody voices down.

Yes, they're having a lovely day out with their sodding poles, yelling at each other, but I'm home, trying to have a nice quiet read.

We hate tourists. Just wish they'd stfu.

It's almost the season for overweight middle-aged men showing off their dangly bits in white lycra cycling shorts.

2 sizes too small.

And, no underpants on underneath.

Anyone missing holidays in France?

One of our neighbours went through a phase of trying to get us involved in their church. We stood firm and told them we weren’t interested, luckily they stopped and we now have a lovely relationship with them.

Before we had DC I used to work 40 hrs a week condensed into 4 days with Fridays off. I tended to do the same thing each Friday (food shop in morning, have lunch and chill out early afternoon and then go for a swim mid to late afternoon) probably boring to some but I was happy with it, yet people were constantly making alternative suggestions as to what I should do on my day off, it was draining.

Dieting. "You should try this , it's amazing and easy"

Fuck off. I'm glad it worked for you but I like cake and chocolate and crisps so if my fattness upsets you, just fuck off again.

Oh I so can relate to this as I’ve got camping fanatic friends. They started to organise camping weekends said we’d love it. It’s my ideal of hell. I eventually gave in as they had pod things on one site, yes it was horrendous, I was sleeping in a garden shed without a toilet. Their posh tents leaked too.

My brother is another one who tries to convince you to go wherever he’s been. DC want to go to London again, Harry Potter etc. DBro says oh you should go to Inverness we stayed in X, there’s a city there for them! Like Inverness is like London. You should go here you should do this kind of people 😡

🤣 at Mickey Mouse flavours!
I hate people pushing drinks after I said no.

I seldom drink alcohol.
When I say I don't want a wine or beer at a party to people I don't know well they tell me not to worry, just relax & have a glass.
as if I've been waiting for their encouraging words all my life.
what the fuck do you not understand about "no, thank you"?

Ive found a really good way to stop beer bores. I say no thank you, it makes me fart like a bastard.

Also dogs. It seems to me that it's perfectly acceptable to hate cats in this country but admit to not liking dogs and people think you've lost your mind.
