Things that everyone raves about that are actually shite

[Letmegetoff]

I'll begin...

ABBA voyage 'concert'
The London Eye
Harry Potter Studios

I'm sorry you've had such awful experiences of tea and coffee.

I've never drunk anything like you describe though.

Was it made for you by an alien, or a frenemy, or a member of the Campaign Against Hot Drinks, perhaps?

You're allowed to make it for yourself btw, in the way you prefer.

You boil water but it doesn't get hot? That's quite magical, you should contact physicists to study your unusual ability.

Why would I make it myself, I don't like it... I only get given it when its forced upon me at others houses.

What I like is a drink that is a stable temperature and mixed consistently.

I'd be here all day listing them so I'll pick the biggest shite things in my view.
All political parties
Dryrobes & stanley cups is definitely agreed with from previous poster.
Birkdale & Formby
Home bargains & B&M best buys (And probably all the furniture in there)
GB News
Seagrass baby changing baskets
Starbucks
Pret
Trout pout.

Me too. Take portraits painted by Velazquez. My favourite. I saw Mona Lisa back in 1990-1, I didn´t realise I was in the room where this picture was. Suddenly I saw some Japanese standing in front of a picture and when they departed there was this small, dark, mangy looking portrait and I was aghast when I saw it was the Mona Lisa!. Biggest disappointment ever. I was 16-17 so quite critical. Didn´t have to pretend being overwhelmed and so intellectual.

Yes, "family fun days".

I agree with everything on this list I think except for salted caramel, which I like.

Surely any cross breed is a mongrel?

I used to like Pret until they introduced their app-only prices. I am not downloading yet another app to clog up my phone, so I take my own sandwiches to work now.

ugh matcha. Tea / cake / ice cream /everything with some dusty-tasting green dust added to make it more expensive, and also disgusting. Begone!

It´s not that they drink the mate, they actually carry the stuff with them everywhere to drink on the move. There was this joke where I am that said Mate was the reason Argentinian men talk non-stop, so they don´t have to sip their mate. Agree wholeheartedly.

Do you have the ‘coriander tastes like soap’ gene? Recently realised that’s why it’s always tasted so odd to me!

Oh no, they're yummy

You can take the girl out of the North, but not the North out of the girl

All of these!

Agree about afternoon tea . Give me a few extra sandwiches a scone and 1 slice of Victoria Sandwich,none of the revolting cakes with weird coloured icing!!

Family food shopping together completely baffles me ,never experienced it !

If you and the kids really like Harry Potter than its fantastic.
If someone heard its good and so went without being interested in Harry Potter it wouldn't be very interesting though.

‘Strong’ eyebrows
Thick makeup with all the stripes of foundation.
Stanley cups
Air fryers
Long nails
Prosecco

Yes, I understand that recently boiled water is hot. And that given a couple a minutes, it cools down enough to drink. Weirdly it's never posed such a challenge for me.
I also enjoy hot foods as well, without scalding my mouth. Since childhood in fact! I think that's quite common.

K18: 60 euro for a teeny tiny bottle of hair treatment. Give me Olaplex anyday over it.

Icy cold showers and sea swimming: I have tried it so many times and nah, I cannot do it long enough to reap any benefit.

Nandos. Absolute muck.

Golf
Gladiators
Coriander 🤢
Avocado 🤢
Thongs
Lip fillers
Hair extensions
Duvets
Air fryers
Jazz music
Sci-fi films

Corporate Team Building Days.

Corporate Fire-Walking, that kind of malarkey.

My heart sinks whenever I hear that someone's planning one and everyone is expected to go.

Barcelona

Soup makers - totally unnecessary just buy a big pot

Fancy nails

People always say that thongs touch your bum hole, but I have a nice round muscly butt and a thong sits very nicely without touching. I’m just providing this information free of charge.

Dogs

Erm. Thanks... I guess.

Also agree with Mona Lisa

tries not to engage and fails

But thongs go between the muscles... unless you have a prominent coccyx like some kind of strange tent pole?

Or of course, if you're a man wearing a thong I guess it wouldn't touch.

why did I engage... whyyyy

Yep, festivals.

Salted caramel.

Posh restaurant meals

Red velvet cake

Musicals

Killing Eve
