Things that always disappoint

[RosieLemonade]

For me it's baths. Never quite the experience I crave.

Tulips.

They go from poker straight to floppy the second they are introduced to a vase.

Are you snipping the stems at an angle before you put them in the water? They shouldn't flop like that.

Alcohol. 30 minutes of feeling nicely woozy. 24 hours of feeling sick and dizzy.

Chocolate

Coffee

Holidays

Making a snowman. Knackering, wet gloves, they never look like the one on the film...mine are always only about 2ft high

Chocolate cake. I am still searching for a cafe that does a decent one and I can never find it.

Fruit teas. Smell amazing, tastes like cat pee

Yes, the smell is lovely but drinking them makes me barf. I much prefer hot Ribena

Hair dressers for me too. And same, doesn't matter if I've paid £100 at a fancy salon or £30 and the old biddy's round the corner, and doesn't matter what I've asked for, same outcome - crap, limp, bob. Every, single, time...

So now, I only go when I absolutely need to and it's the old biddy shop for me. I'd rather spend less and have less expectations!

Doughnuts
Sunday roasts in pubs
Brexit
Expensive moisturisers

Yes I know what you mean I'm bored within 5 minutes I don't know what to do lol

Snow.

Dominos! I think I crave one, spend a small fortune on it for the family…take one bite and think nah, it’s not all that! Then spend the evening feeling guilty about wasting money on it and uncomfortable from carb overload!

This ^ x 100

New Year’s Eve for sure

Omg so true

"Days out"

Family days out. You know the ones you plan meticulously, you really look forward to, think the kid’s we gonna love! They always practically bankrupt you and leave you on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

@TheYearOfSmallThings

New Year's Eve

Always.

*the kids are gonna love, rather

To be honest - EVERYTHING!

Days out
Holidays
Cinema
Theatre
Museums
Alcohol
Coffee
Bacon
Hobbies
Most takeaways
Careers
Expensive things you save up for
Expensive things you go into debt for

The only things I’ve been impressed with so far in life are;
Dog ownership
Unplanned for nights out.

Kebabs!

Being a grown up. I wasn't a child for long and spent the little time I did have carefree and single wishing it away. Really wish I had enjoyed ht more, and made let it last a bit longer now.

Fruit sold as being “ripe and ready to eat”. All I can taste is my own stupidity for falling for that bs YET AGAIN.

Also, Christmas day always a disappointment, probably because I build it up too much in my head.

Big nights out/in. The anxiety and depression for at least a week after make it not worth it.

Family film night. Always results in a fight, a massive mess, and someone leaving half way through because they are bored. Oh and either dp reciting lines with the actors or watching you to see your reaction to whatever just happened, or ds 13 (bless him) telling you everything that's about tk happen, or talking Iver the whole thing trying tk explain it even although bo one asked.

Holidays. Just stressful.

The summer. I want it to fuck off now. I'm roasting, there's flies everywhere and maggots in my bloody bin because they only empty them every 3 weeks. Wasps coming in in their fucking droves. I can't even get a washing hung out because ds knocked down my whirly gig.

Going out for dinner. Its always either average or completely shit food that costs a fortune.
