Socialism.

This Tory government. Full of liars, cheats and thieves

Bottomless brunch

Agree. Those advertised round here seem to be about £30+ for a small amount of cheap crap food and prosecco, with a 90min limit on the time you can have the table. I'd rather have a nice breakfast somewhere. (clearly not target audience...)

Oat milk
Small cars
Cats (sorry)
Calla Lilies
Contouring make-up, and frankly any make-up that takes more than 10 minutes

Yes, matcha tea. It tastes funny and I swear most of the time people use that powdered stuff just to dye stuff green.

Bubble tea

This. It actually makes me feel sick.

LlynTegid · 20/03/2024 18:25

@GodSavetheJean cats? How can you think that?

The cinema. I've given up now. People treat it as an extension of their living room. Chatting, checking their phones, eating noisily, no manners or self awareness.

Agree with Maldives.

firepits (don’t heat effectively)
water skiing (boring)
all inclusive holiday resorts

I also don’t understand the attraction of fireworks displays, music festivals or BBQs though so I must be odd.

Bovrilla · 20/03/2024 18:28

Dyson vacs.
I got a stick cordless one, it was awful.

Mrs Hinch

Bennettsister · 20/03/2024 18:29

Ten pin bowling - awful places.
Anti-ageing beauty products (any) - the most you can hope for is polished, nothing will prevent you from looking your age.
The Killers - bafflingly popular.
The Barbie film - confusing yet hackneyed. Ryan Gosling was game though.
Ant and Dec - I do so hate a cheeky chappie. Two of them, doubly.
Labradoodles - I'm not a fan of a curly dog.

Hermittrismegistus · 20/03/2024 18:39

Taylor Swift.
