I don’t like alcohol. So all this gin time and wine time flies over my head.

I don’t like pyjamas which is annoying because there are really cute ones out there. I prefer nighties.

I don’t like high end food. Oysters and stuff like that..bleh

I love alcohol generally but I can't like whiskey. I've tried many times and it's ghastly.

OnceBitten25 · 13/08/2022 19:40

I don't like olives 🤷🏼‍♀️ have tried different types but just can't get on with them. I'm not a fussy eater at all but just hate the consistency and taste!

Anonykunt · 13/08/2022 19:42

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to like them but I find dressing gowns annoying. I prefer a cardigan

Gin. Spirits in general, but mostly gin. I cannot fathom it’s popularity.

GeorgeorRuth · 13/08/2022 19:43

I don't get the obsession with coffee..bleurgh!

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/08/2022 19:43

Driving. I can do it but I fucking hate it.

breathcalmly · 13/08/2022 19:43

ironing. Seems to me a complete waste of time and another job for women to do

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 13/08/2022 19:43

Coffee. I love the smell but cannot stand the taste

mum2jakie · 13/08/2022 19:44

Wine, gin, most types of alcohol and coffee.

Soubriquet · 13/08/2022 19:44

Coffee yes! Dh is a coffee drinker but I’ve never liked it. Tea all the way for me.

He always buys really expensive coffee which I don’t begrudge him, but it has a very pungent aroma when first opened. Like used cat litter. Even dh said it

Olives 🤮

Dalaidramailama · 13/08/2022 19:45

OP are you me

I HATE wine. Yuck. Prefer nighties and hate sea food.

EmpressoftheMundane · 13/08/2022 19:46

Full bodied red wine. Yuck. Like licking an oak barrel.

DHsOuttingHobby · 13/08/2022 19:46

Pate... yuck!
Cruises: I'm very anti social and wouldn't like to bump into the same people over and over again.

Tabbouleh · 13/08/2022 19:46

Fine dining. I prefer street food or dives.

Bernadinetta · 13/08/2022 19:46

Tea or coffee

Most alcohol, I like beer and gin. But only on social occasions, not casually drinking at home. I don't understand it.

Ironing and gardening.

MrsMoastyToasty · 13/08/2022 19:47

Champagne and caviar.

Even in my drinking days it was too fizzy for me. Caviar tastes like salty grit.

whiteroseredrose · 13/08/2022 19:48

Make up, handbags, jewellery, clothes. Truly CBA with any of it, but everyone else seems to get excited by it.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 13/08/2022 19:49

Getting dressed up and wine

Tabbouleh · 13/08/2022 19:49

I can't be bothered with expensive jewellery either, though I like interesting chunky silver. I don't have any diamonds.

LunaLoveFood · 13/08/2022 19:49

Tea or coffee. Can't stand either and often feel like a child asking for squash when I'm at friend's houses.

NoWordForFluffy · 13/08/2022 19:49

Coffee (love the smell but not the taste), gin (just no!), and olives (evil texture)!

EquallyDivided · 13/08/2022 19:49

Whisky for me too. And a lot of other alcoholic drinks (I like gin and wine and that's about it). Also alcohol in puddings, chocolates etc.

I didn't think PJs were a grown up thing, I stopped wearing them when I was about 10.
