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 😊

Forgot one. I don't really like other people's babies and small children. But I don't generally make this fact general knowledge in real life, because at best,some people think I'm decidedly odd,at worst that I'm some of child harmer or worse! Please tell me that I'm not alone in this? Of course,my dislike does not extend to my own child/grandchild!

Strictly come dancing and Great British bake off

Hot drinks. Including hot chocolate.
Agree with a PP on podcasts, can’t stand audiobooks either.

@LST I am glad you clarified that. Your list had me placing you high up on the serial killer spectrum 🤣

Fair play to people who are afraid of dogs. You guys are not soulless. It's the ones that have no fear but just dislike them anyway.

Pandas. Huge waste of resources.

I agree. We are spending millions trying to protect a species who clearly were not meant to survive forever.

zoos

Agree. Hate the concept, hate the experience, hate the fact that they try and pretend it’s all about the conservation.

Tea.

Tom hardy, everyone fancies him and I just don't get it. Also Great British Bakeoff, I prefer MasterChef

@Neonplant I'm pretty sure I said dogs/animals. 🤨

Totally different anyone being scared of them. We are taking about people that say they hate them without being scared.

Also all dogs are not dirty, I've seen much dirtier humans. It's on the owners to keep them clean.

Yeah but I can be pretty confident most dirty humans won’t try and lick me with a tongue they’ve had in someone else’s arse.

I'd have been right with you 😂 serves me right for not reading the thread title properly 🙄

@Bambooshoot

Ok, I’ve read through 14 pages and it seems I’m alone in this . . .

Lavender (and it is in everything, nasty, sneaky stinking thing even trying to get into food) and

Cinnamon - boke. Just boke. Want to ruin a crumble, a pastry or a cake? Sure, add cinnamon and the devil’s work is done. Same for cucumber in anything but that was already mentioned . . .

Oh wow! Yes! I hate the smell of lavender too. Thank goodness I'm not alone.

Going on holiday.

I literally count the days until I can go home.

RussianDolls · 29/09/2021 20:10

Avocados

Ashleighz88 · 29/09/2021 20:28

@Kanaloa no but they will probably sneeze or snot allover money, door handles, seats, public places. Don't remember dogs spreading corona virus like humans 🤣

People on Instagram who post a series of almost identical photos with ever so slightly different body positions each time. Why??????????

hanketypankety · 29/09/2021 20:44

Girly nights in. Fuck off with your crap movies and shit wine.

@10Cheethahcubs

There was one person who said she was always ready to boot dogs! As though she relished the thought. Terrifying to me that people like this walk amongst us.
I said I’d kick a dog if it attacked my child not that I want to hurt any animal. Learn to read. I don’t relish the thought of a dog injuring my dc. You people are the real psychos going on about serial killers all the time. And you’re the real soulless ones if you can’t understand that phobias are real afflictions that people can have. But yeah obviously I’m a serial killer because I don’t want dogs jumping on me and mauling me.
