Things that everyone raves about that are actually shite

[Letmegetoff]

I'll begin...

ABBA voyage 'concert'
The London Eye
Harry Potter Studios

Most TV
Hipster Coffee
Lip fillers
Dua Lipa
Range Rovers
Dubai

Actually, I’ve had quite a few sexual partners, some of whom adored doing it and I always thought it was meh. Just not my thing. So sure, you love it but don’t assume those of us who don’t enjoy it, it’s because it’s not being done properly. That’s the sort of thing men used to say to lesbians!

Soft plays! I appreciate many agree with me but many others use them very often to have some respite and a coffee.

That moment’s peace is not worth the three week lurgy they inevitably catch!

Airfryers

All drinks are mostly water; it's the infusion that's the problem.
Agree with pp about carrying a bottle everywhere, as if they'll simply drop from dehydration.

Pesto (bland)
Hummus (bland)
Adult colouring books (boring after 10 minutes)
50 Shades of Grey (I'll never forgive my friend for recommending this shite to me)
iPhones (proprietary bullshit)
The stupid small wand vibrator thing with 50,000 reviews on Amazon (the sonic sucky thing though... 😍)
Bloody Elf on the Shelf (cringe)

Stanley cups, my 35 year old nephew looks like a toddler with a sippy cup when using his, bloody ridiculous looking.

Cars with too much tech.

Seedlip alcohol free gin. It was nice to be able to pretend to be having a gin and tonic but it kind of tasted of nothing and it cost SO MUCH. Never again. I haven't tried other alcohol free gins but I'd guess they're crap too.

Bubble tea.

Air fyers! My FB marketplace is full of them trying to resold on. Just another fad.

Agreed, it looks like dayglo liquid with frog spawn at the bottom.

chip butties and crisp butties

I loved the HP studio tour. I'd go again.

Summer. Everyone else seems to love it and look forward to it, but I hate the heat and have no problem with shorter days, less daylight and proper routines instead of school holidays.

Ridiculously expensive wooden toys from Babipur

Jo Malone perfumes - not Jo Loves - those are good. I mean the original ones - especially pomegranate noir. Feel nauseous just thinking about them. Also Estée Lauder double wear- talk about cakey.

Why do you say this ?

Same here! My shark vacuum is so heavy!

🤦‍♀️never

Breaking Bad and Peaky Blinders. I'm probably in the minority but I found both boring and depressing and never made it past episode 3 of either.

Avocados
Coffee culture

Applied postmodernist principles (that many adhere to without realising)

Elf on the Shelf

St Albans
Peloton
Lapland UK

I personally think that the above are so overpriced that people have to permanently justify them - out loud

Cloud storage. After being held to ransom by not upgrading, losing photos having been locked out of my account, and quality of photos automatically reduced I will never store my photos in any cloud subscription. External hard drives for me and no fee.

Who gives a crap toilet paper is overpriced sandpaper.

BTW - secretly pleased I didn't go to the Abba concert, this thread has confirmed it. My friends said I was being 'very bah humbug' but I simply said I didn't want to pay £60 to watch avatars
