Mochi. I love ice cream mochi but the traditional stuff isn't my thing. (They sell ice cream mochi in Aldi, it's so good!)
Kimchi hurt my mouth.
A one night stand, I felt like crap afterwards, cried, and promised myself I'd never do it again.

Surely the whole point of zumba is that nobody has any idea what is going on? You're so busy desperately trying to keep up that you don't realise that you're getting exercise

Quad biking. Once was enough!

"FUN"Bikes at Butlins. Jeez I would rather spend half an hour with a personal trainer!!

The pain!!! The burning!!!

Never has anything been more falsely advertised.

Newfound respect for my dearly departed grandad who would pedal us round on these most days on holiday.

Also whelks - smell from a drains issue in my workplace was identical to the taste. Memory had me gagging for weeks.

Anchovies
Fennel
Staying for a week on a clifftop in a remote part of Scotland with a mad professor type whose wife had walked out six months before (I quickly learnt she had good reason). We met on a FB group. When he couldn't keep it up he tied a sock around it.
It was him that cooked with anchovies and fennel too

Yoga
Acrylic nails
Eyeliner tattoo... it doesn't take on thin sensitive skin, not even like 1%
Thai food
Samphire

Sounds like a horror movie. I hope you stuck your acrylic nails on him 🤣

Sandra1984.. he was a horror...it was the most beautiful place I've ever been to in the UK... paradise...but unfortunately he was there too (he invited me)
Yes, he used a bobbly old grey sock as a makeshift cock ring . Once I was home he blamed his inability to errr function, on the fact that I'm a size 18 . Bear in mind he had moobs as big as my actual boobs. What a delight he was.
He also had a huge hissy fit accusing me of throwing his lemon squeezer into the bin. 🙄🤔 Err no. His kitchen was foul, I did a deep clean for him, said squeezer may have accidentally fallen into bin but I doubt it...for the rest of the week he lamented the missing squeezer and got into a rage about me putting his favourite mug on the wrong shelf...so he could not find it (despite standing in front of said shelf)
I work at IKEA and am very tempted to send a bag of lemon squeezers, with a few manky socks thrown in for good measure, but he's not worth the postage

Krispy Cremes... taste of chip fat and syrup

Camping as an adult (didn’t mind as a child)
centreparcs
making own pasta
going to a live sports match. Surprisingly even more fucking boring than watching it on TV which is bad enough

Labour. DD got stuck, needed EMCS, DS was ELCS after labour failed to start. Now past having any more, thank goodness.

Ice skating. Am irredeemably rubbish, and for that reason skiing is also a no-no.

Parachute jump. I actually really enjoyed it, but have no need to repeat the experience.

Giving blow jobs. Sorry DH. Don’t like it.
