Tea. Yes I’m English but I’ve never wanted a cup of tea. Coffee all the way.

Lattes. They’re just milk. No thanks. Like I said, I like coffee!

Concerts and festivals. I’ve got boring and I’m really not into the crowds. Creeps me out!

Snap!

Designer bags. Unless you have tons of money people think it’s fake and if you have tons of money they look ostentatious.

Star wars.

My brother used to watch them on repeat, I just can't enjoy it

Cunnylingus (would rather perform a BJ lol)

Makes me a bit odd I know!

You need to teach you partner to how to do it properly.

Would those of you naming the Maldives care to explain? I was contemplating throwing most of my savings at a once in a lifetime holiday there... What's the deal?!

See my post on the topic.

Brioche burger buns
Labradoodle/cockapoo 'teddy bear' type dogs - so generic now.

That was my experience too but then saw it here (scotland) and it was definitely green squiggles to the naked eye - some purple as well. keep trying (if u can be arsed)

That’s good to know. Shame I could’ve just stayed closer to home and had a better experience. You live and learn.

Afternoon tea (see also grazing tables 🤢)
dolphins
hot chocolate
dresses with pockets

Yes what's with the obsession with dresses with pockets, not like you're going to put anything in them as if you do you'll ruin the line of the dress.

GiveHerEffervescence · 21/03/2024 06:54

One day - pedestrian
prosecco - sickly
barbie film - boring and random

sunnylanding · 21/03/2024 07:00

This Tory government. Full of liars, cheats and thieves

Where have you heard anyone raving about how great they are 😂 I don't even think their own voters think they're that great.

I do. I have no idea if it ruins the line of the dress, they are handy. I'm wearing a dress with pockets to the office today (a Mountain Warehouse one which according to a recent thread makes me frumpy in the extreme) and when I'm popping out for coffee in the day or just to the loo I'll be using my pockets for my ID card, phone, bank card. Preferable to taking my bag for those quick trips.

My pockets are very much used! Keys, phone etc. couldn’t give a shit about the line. Pockets are a must.

Dubai
wine
percy pigs 🐷
Football
Most sports
Air fryers (they’re toxic with the non stick coating; they’re not making your health better even though you’re using less oil etc)
Ipads

WonderingWanda · 21/03/2024 07:05

I think I agree about air fryers. I got dh one, he loves it but I can't see it does anything different to my oven.

Dry robes, they are so bulky and I can change discretely under a normal towel on the beach anyway.

Studland beach, in fact lots of south coast beaches. Beautiful location if no one was on it but whenever we've been there are wall to wall people and it's just unpleasant. I wonder if Sandbanks is any better?

The Beatles, unpopular opinion but I just don't like their music.

SewingIsMySuperPower · 21/03/2024 07:07

It appears many of my people are here....

BBQs! I absolutely hate them! Takes longer to prep, to cook the food, and the smoke is disgusting (gives me an asthma attack most of the time - same issue with fire pits). Sadly most of my neighbours love them. One of many reasons I prefer winter as a season 😂

ADHDGURL · 21/03/2024 07:07

Burrata.. blander mozzarella

Devastated999 · 21/03/2024 07:11

Watching sport is odd isn’t it! Either do the sport or don’t. I don’t watch other people cooking, cleaning or doing pottery… oh hang on, I do, but, but they are inspiring me to do stuff. Watching sport doesn’t inspire me.

Heat over 20’, therefore the summer can f- off, as can the seaside unless it is cold weather.

Coffee, alcohol and any tea other than a strong builder’s tea

Holidays abroad are a stressful event that are never enjoyed at the time

Hen dos, or any parties, karaoke, dancing, pubs

Sunday lunch and Christmas dinner

Travelling

Florida

MotherOfUnicorns4 · 21/03/2024 07:13

Cockapoos
Ed Sheeran
Any chocolate. It all tastes like ass now. Bring back the sugar filled goodies from my childhood!
Social media
Community choirs/am dram crap
Nandos
New style Kellogg’s chocolate cornflakes 🤮

Traitors - over dramatic, dragged out and not very likeable people. I’ve not met anyone else who doesn’t like it so assume I’m the odd one. I usually like Claudia Winkleman.

You're not the only one. I thought it was dreadful.
