Fish & chips are disappointing

Wine tastes like chemicals

Red Bull smells like sick

90s/early 00s music was and still is the best

SinnerBoy · 10/05/2023 09:14

Red Bull tastes like bubblegum flavoured vomit.

Gardening isn’t good for your mental health. It’s a compulsion and takes over your life.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Fab list. I’m with you on everything except the baked beans 😂

Agree with all except the salad cream one. I have it with SO many foods. The one about the men in ankle grazing trousers made me 😂😂😂

I prefer salad cream to mayonnaise I like vinegar though some people don't.

Cul de sac suburban architecture is drab and soul destroying.

Blue hair never looks good after the first time you wash it post hairdresser.

Most facial piercings look like metal acne.

Harry Potter is wildly overrated as fiction - it has no continuity, the plot is made up of clichés and the bad dog Latin for magic makes me cringe. Also, JK Rowling should be banned by law from writing non English characters and setting - she's just so bad at it.

Unnatural eyebrows - whether plucked hyper thin or thickly painted on - make someone's whole face just look weird.

Babies are not cute at all. Children other than one's own are generally pretty boring until they start talking.

To feel obliged to "take the tour" around a friend's new house.

All tattoos are ghastly. I do not believe that many ‘professional’ people have them.

Not true. I know at least two consultant psychiatrists, one CEO, one consultant surgeon and three heads of fundraising for various major UK charities with significant numbers of tattoos.

I have a PhD and a professional job and five tattoos. All covered up when at work.

I'm glad the ankle grazing made you laugh, I wondered if it was just a bit beyond the pale!

Salad cream is nicer in tuna than mayo.

It is yeah

A lot of people on this thread don't understand the word 'pointless.'

Eurovision is great and should be on twice a year.

Pepsi is much nicer than Coke.

Pointy fake fingernails are creepy.

Signs in offices and other places of work such as "We're all mad here", "You don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps" and "Welcome to the madhouse" should be banned immediately.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 10/05/2023 18:54

any notice that starts 'Polite notice', isn't

people who put up any notice that starts 'polite notice' should be immediately fired into the centre of the sun

Everyone should be made to be a primary school teacher for a week before they are allowed to grumble about the short working days and long hours.....

Agreed.

I also think everyone should have to visit a prison when they’re a teenager.

Grazing tables should be punishable by law.

SinnerBoy · 11/05/2023 02:10

What's a grazing table?

DunkingMyDonuts · 11/05/2023 03:02

Another term for buffet @SinnerBoy

SinnerBoy · 11/05/2023 03:52

Oh, thanks; what's wrong with buffets?

DappledThings · 11/05/2023 06:25

SinnerBoy · 11/05/2023 03:52

It isn't the same as a buffet though because with a grazing table the food is all directly on the table. No plates and no serving implements. That's what people object to!

TooRightM8 · 11/05/2023 06:36

Hair should be hair colour, not pink or purple or blue

Men with hair gel look ridiculous

And all mixed up/touching! Nightmare for people with allergies or food restrictions.

Any thing ‘forest fruits’ flavour is a grim red coloured, fake mess of stuff found on a factory floor
