Bottomless Brunch -
Bloody awful idea, clever marketing seems to fill an otherwise empty time of day for the venue and all they have to do is put on crap food and shite booze, then hoards of squealing women all post about it while pouting.

Pouting - don’t get me started on that, no it doesn’t make you look younger/skinnier or anything other then fucking stupid and self obsessed.

Meal boxes - seriously, over hyped bollocks, I worked out I paid £15 for two carrots a tin of coconut milk, a handful of rice, a lime and a crappy prepared sauce, then you have to deal with trying to ram more cardboard into the recycling bin then humanly possible

i could go on

Lengthy skin care routines
you just have naturally good skin so bore off

Not necessarily. I have good skin, but it is even better because I take good care of it. That said, I don't bore on and on about it or talk about it at all unless someone specifically asks me. People do ask me quite a lot, though, because I am early middle aged but still look properly young, and part of that is lifestyle.

The Sistine chapel i have never been so underwhelmed in my life, small crowded so dark you cant really see the paintings on the ceiling

This . I'm not religious. I was glad I wasn't because all sacredness had disappeared in the sea of tourists **

Socialism.

Alright Rishi?

Prosseco I can't stand the stuff, much prefer Brut if I can't have champagne.

The Curly Girl Method, sorry but the thought of not washing my hair whilst putting so much stuff in it to make it curly is just nasty. I was on a Facebook page and so many used so much product whilst going on about how little they washed their hair. If you need product to make curls it's not really curly.

The musical Six is bloody awful.

Oh God yes! Absolute shite

nopuppiesallowed · 20/03/2024 22:17

The Labour Party.... Mumsnet seems to think that all our problems will be over and world peace will break out when Labour wins the next election. Nope. Scandal dogs all political parties (have a look on wikipedia). They all make wrong decisions and mistakes at times. Sad but true.

nopuppiesallowed · 20/03/2024 22:18

Oh. And wide trousers. They make me look like a brick.

That is fair enough, I didn’t mean it at people such as yourself!

More aimed at when people have beautiful skin (influencers) and it’s obvious they’re just young and good genetics but they say it’s because of this routine.

i have PCOS and so have v oily skin so can’t be layering oils and such. I’m jealous really. 😂

I suppose I do have my own routine but it’s not a very sexy one 😂

Omg THIS.

I saw a lass on YouTube kneeling on the floor with her head on the bed with a diffuser placed on the bed blowing on her hair. I think the idea is that gravity doesn’t pull out the curls when drying… Exact thoughts as you, if you have to do THAT much your hair is NOT curly!

WimbyAce · 20/03/2024 22:23

One Day on Netflix. Everyone was raving about it on Twitter so I thought I'd hop on board......utter shite. So tedious and I didn't even cry (and I'm a crier!)

Crocs

The northern lights. They just look like squiggly grey clouds to the human eye. NOT those glorious bright green lights cameras capture.
