For me...
Camping
Blue cheese
Music festivals

,@Bluetrews25 it means shitting in a fanny.

willyouwontyoubemine · 18/07/2022 19:05

The Waltzers on Brighton Pier. Traumatised me and both my kids.

MmeHennyPenny · 18/07/2022 19:05

Another for skiing-broke my leg on the first day of the holiday.

willyouwontyoubemine · 18/07/2022 19:06

That centerparcs near the zoo kind of Bristol way.

Full of absolute pretentious twat families. I'd rather go to Haven.

Bluetrews25 · 18/07/2022 19:09

Ohhhkayyy
Thanks, Norgie

SkankingWombat · 18/07/2022 19:09

Doughnuts filled with red bean curd 🤢

Tablechairtable · 18/07/2022 19:10

olives
Potholing

Spudlet · 18/07/2022 19:10

Go-karting

Benjispruce4 · 18/07/2022 19:11

Oh my Christ Mick what is wrong with people???? 🤮

BertieBotts · 18/07/2022 19:11

Rollercoasters
Ice skating (have actually tried twice but no good)
Cocaine
E-scooter

Have given birth three times and glad I had the experiences, but really do not want to do it ever again.

BertieBotts · 18/07/2022 19:12

Oh and that stinky fruit from Asia - Durian? Absolutely awful!

BertieBotts · 18/07/2022 19:14

Oh come on, nobody actually does that kind of thing, it's just made up by 12yos for laughs or its some kind of extreme porn for weirdos with a scat fetish. It won't become the next big thing that normal people try.

AuraBora · 18/07/2022 19:16

Waxing
(had legs and bikini done many moons ago and it took so long the beauty therapist kept complaining how she was going to be home late,she'd never seen such stubborn hairs apparently)

Paintballing
(I see quite a few PPs mention this) - painful and extremely sweaty in the helmet.

Skiing
So much faff and I rally overheated (plus had no clue what I was doing and nearly crashed into a row of preschool age kids going down the slope holding hands)

ShipwreckSunset · 18/07/2022 19:16

Tempeh - god awful relation to tofu.
Ethiopian food, the bread at least, like a sour chamois leather.

Jellywobblescobbles · 18/07/2022 19:19

Ten pin bowling
travel by ferry to the Isle Of Man - even though I don’t get seasick, having to be surrounded by many people who were ill for 4 hours was disgusting
swimming with my face in the water
hold a large meeting
eat paté bleurgh

Floydthebarber · 18/07/2022 19:23

Cheese and pineapple
Rollercoasters. Or any fast, twirly, spinny ride.

Govesdancingpartner · 18/07/2022 19:52

Weymouth

KatharineofAragon · 18/07/2022 19:53

Going on a chairlift. I actually thought I was going to die of terror. I am afraid of heights and should have known better. I tried going on a Ferris wheel many many years ago and that nearly gave me a heart attack too. I should have learned.

KatharineofAragon · 18/07/2022 19:53

Eurocamp in France. Worst holiday ever.

Cakemonger · 18/07/2022 19:58

to me a relaxing holiday doesnt involve building the hotel when you get there.

😂

Coastalcreeksider · 18/07/2022 20:00

Team building

I've retired so I'm safe in never having to do it ever again
