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 😊

@Mamanyt

Summertime. I spend the entire season drifting from on air conditioned place to another. I love early Spring, Fall, and Winter. I ADORE snow. I love wrapping up to go out. I love everything about the "dark" half of the year. You may have my Summer, with my good will.
Take it you don’t live in The UK?!

This thread is bugging me because the OP asked for things you dislike that everyone loves and many of the things mentioned aren’t things that most people love. I’m being pedantic though I know!!

Mine is nights out. On the whole I do feel most people love a night out but I’d rather have minor surgery.

When you say “nights out” What do you mean? Socialising at night?

I'm with you about being annoyed by some of the posts that totally miss the point of the thread.

For example, not everyone loves dogs in restaurants. That is something most people would not like.

Hairdressers that want to "chat" when they are doing my hair.

DarlingFell · 01/10/2021 09:31

Joyless fuckers who hate dogs. You have no soul. All the people that I have met who ‘hate’ dogs have been neurotic dullards 😂

And mirthless threads like this, permeated by the cantankerous and the embittered Sad

@Builderscrack

But definitely those flashy fucking monstrous land rovers and all that they represent
I particularly despise Defenders when they're driven by people who live in residential housing estates pretending they live up a muddy farm track in the middle of nowhere.

I like the odd one but have to be in the mood for them. Would never choose one. I'm more of a horror/thriller kind of girl 😁
