Snails
Tripe

No need to apologise. My quoting didn't make it very clear and I misread your comment. I'm still intrigued though to know what evidence of humble bragging and looking down on the poor there is though. Hopefully Tillow4ever can enlighten us.

Oh and the Algarve.

LadyCluck · 21/07/2022 13:16

I’ll never eat oysters while having anal in Dubai.

Surely some of the things on here are going to be clearly unpleasant. I can't understand why you'd try them even once! Bleuuugh!

(Why anyone would find going near the place from which you shit a sexual thing, I cannot fathom)

takeitandleaveit · 21/07/2022 14:14

A manicure. It felt unpleasant all way through, and I didn't even like the result.
Donkey riding.
Ugali.
Okra.
Wild swimming - especially not in a Scottish loch.
Hierbas.

Zumba. Never felt like such a twat it my life.

Me too. I can't even clap in time with others. I don't think you need to be super coordinated, but some sense of rhythm is definitely required!

Whataplanker · 21/07/2022 17:42

Step aerobics. I spent the entire class facing the wrong way or going in the opposite direction. I nearly cried and walked out half way through but, because it was my first time, I'd positioned myself at the back so would have had to walk past everyone if I'd left early. Never again.

TwoOwlSocks · 21/07/2022 17:51

Ooh, I would also like to add Malta, step aerobics and making my own hot cross buns to the list. Indistinguishable from Tesco's finest and without the several hours of faff and waiting for the bloody things to prove.

The PTA

Goawayangryman · 21/07/2022 18:12

A large dose of hallucinogens. I'd try microdosing though. Any drug capable of inducing physical dependence.

Fuerteventura, fruit and veg free wasteland.

Listening to death metal or most current rappers. If you aren't going to sing, then you better make sure your poetry is great Kae Tempest<, Kendrick, and the like, so overrated. You could set Joni Mitchell to a drone and it will still be a 1000% better, lyrically, than that lot. I do make an exception for Kanye tho, even though he is a giant dickhead.

Anal, like so many here. There are no pleasure receptors there and it's an exit, not an entry, mechanism.

Dating someone cluster B personality disorder of the more antisocial and less empathetic type.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/07/2022 18:16

Getting my eye brows threaded. It's like paper cuts on your eye lids
