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 😊

Dogs, polos, massages, Cadbury’s mini rolls and cheesey Doritos.

@AngelinaFibres

Dogs everywhere. In every cafe,restaurant, hotel. Dog mess every bloody where. People allowing their dogs to sit on cafe chairs and to put their faces, paws all over the table. People feeding dogs at the table. When the hell did this become a thing.
Absolutely agree - it’s getting ridiculous now

Dyed blonde hair (as in I wouldn’t ever choose it. Other people can do as they wish.)

Plenty of places don't allow dogs. Don't go to dog friendly places if you don't like dogs

TBF sometimes it can be hard to tell until it's too late.

You could ask on the way in though if it bothers you that much

@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 . . .

Not alone! I dislike both of those things too!!

Oh and dogs, slobbery smelly things!

Whatsitbeen · 30/09/2021 22:59

Oh and bananas, also awful. The only thing worse than an an actual banana is anything synthetic banana flavoured. Yuck.
