Was watching a music countdown the other day and one of the songs from dirty dancing came on, I casually mentioned to my mum how I like the song but dislike the movie.... my mum almost lost her shit....
Like it was a criminal offence to not like it.
Tell me something you dislike but everyone loves..
Can be anything 😊

Starbucks, Costa and any other place where you have to wait 20 minutes for some ‘barista’ to faff around for people who don’t actually want coffee - they want gruesome concoctions with caramel, sugary froth and God knows what.

Cosmetic surgery (at least it seems like everyone believes it's great, which is in part why I hate all of the above!)

The Beatles - pedestrian music (shouted) sung slightly out of tune. Best band ever, my arse.

American comedies with Amy schumer, Kristin Wiig (or whatever her name is) or Seth Rogan in.

Just piles of rubbish.

Mama Mia. Was so excited when I got the dvd as everyone was raving about it. 5 minutes in I was so disappointed and at the end completely underwhelmed. Thought the whole thing was terrible.

Told my aunt and she got really cross with me saying I was the only person who didn't like it and couldn't understand me

I was coming on to say exactly this!!

It's shite!!!

@TFMinx

Dirty Dancing and Grease are terrible, terrible films.

Am I allowed to say Ru Paul’s Drag Race? I watched the first series to try to fit in at work, but I just didn’t enjoy it.

Also hen parties/baby showers/anything of that ilk makes me cringe inside out for some inexplicable reason.

I'm going to agree with you on Ru Paul's Drag Race

Radio (I know but it makes me feel weird)

He seems to be some kind of national treasure and when I say I can't stand him people look at me like I've just said I want to drown a puppy Hmm

Holidays abroad. The horror of flying. Uncomfortably hot, unfamiliar places full of strangers who speak unfathomable languages. Makes no sense at all

Those big wide trousers a lot of people seem to be wearing at the moment. I'm sure they're comfy enough, but not particularly flattering and make you look like you have a huge arse. Unless that's the look you're going for, then crack on of course

OrangeJuiceAndNoodles · 29/09/2021 09:47

@BippityBoppity87 You sound like my twin! I also dislike nearly everything on your list.

I'd add KFC though. Disgusting 'food'.
