Things you enjoy which are supposed to be terrible

I'm inspired by a thread about ""Nice" Things That Aren't Actually Nice" over on the AIBU board.

I'd love to know about things you (secretly or not-so-secretly) love which you're "supposed" to find dull, inconvenient, or just plain crap.

For me: the cheapest tinned vegetables, replacement bus services (nicer view sometimes!), Travelodges.

I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it but I had a root canal recently and everyone told me lots of horror stories. I don’t know if the way they do them has moved on but it was completely painless.
I got to lay down and have no one speak to me for 90 minutes Grin

Real housewives of Beverley hills I know it’s hideous but I enjoy it - people arguing in beautiful sometimes naff houses. After a hard emotionally draining day it just fits the bill.
