LouMorris · 14/01/2024 09:47

Cruises - like a hotel holiday but worse.
Bottomless brunches - enforced ‘fun’ with people getting pissed and loud followed by a daytime hangover.
A Robbie Williams concert - just no.
Caving - unless it was for 5 minutes followed by lunch at a country pub.

Edited to add; Vegas and Dubai

MillicentRogers · 14/01/2024 09:47

Snorkelling.

Near me there's a race course that has a ladies day each year.
Every time I think- couldn't pay me enough to go- looks awful.

Just the opposite - misery is being forced to do things you know you won't enjoy, just because other people do.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 14/01/2024 09:53

Bungee jumping
Massages and ‘spa days’.
And the mere thought of pot-holing gives me the shudders.

Tessa92 · 14/01/2024 09:53

I think another interesting thread would be ‘Things I thought I’d hate but loved when I tried them’.
Spa days would come into this category for me.

Orlando theme parks are in this category for me

EndofDaze · 14/01/2024 09:57

Music festivals - loud, crowded and questionable toilet facilities.
