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 😊

@WhoPutThatThere

All you people who said Dirty Dancing, I have found my tribe (WHY is it so popular?) Love Actually Dogs. They slobber and they smell (yeah, yeah, yours doesn't...) Negronis Going to gigs/live music
Mine actually doesn't slobber.

@Reallyimeanreally2022 pretty much any occasion that involves me leaving my house in the evening, having to get ‘dressed up’ and go somewhere with music and drinking and dancing.

I don’t mind a meal out with my partner or family but that’s honestly about it.

I sound a right misery guts, I know!

You don’t sound like that

You sound like how many feel

You can hardly open a magazine without an article re people relieved when other people cancel!

So what annoyed you (people listing what loads of people don’t like) is precisely what you’ve done!

I disagree but ok … thanks for taking the time to engage just to point out I’m a hypocrite Grin

Surprises. I don't care how nice it is - I'll probably enjoy it if I'm informed in plenty of time, but be too flustered/anxious to if I'm not.

I could drink Irn Bru by the gallon when pregnant but normally I find it revolting.
