Things that everyone raves about that are actually shite

[Letmegetoff]

I'll begin...

ABBA voyage 'concert'
The London Eye
Harry Potter Studios

Me too, but that doesn´t mean I need it on EVERYTHING...

Hahahahaha, so glad I finished my coffee before ready that😂

Salted caramel. Gravy. Baked beans. All inclusive total boredom. Spa days. Flying anywhere. Posh restaurants. Handbags. Polished nails. Instagram. Men in shorts. Dog harnesses as opposed to collars.

I just remembered the worst one - Bongo Bingo.

Have had so many colleagues, family members and clients raving about what a great night out it is. Looked up videos and it is the most horrendous scenario I could imagine finding myself in. Screeching drunks dancing on tables to rave music while some fanny with a mic chats shit over the tannoy system to whoops and hollers.

Truly ghastly.

Well I’m even more of a meanie because I’d say dogs full stop.

Why would anyone deliberately get a creature that needs its poo picking up for years and years, guilts you if you leave it home alone, makes going away difficult, and smells? Just don’t get it.

I’m a cat person too

Oesophageal cancer will wipe out the pp first. And I thought I drank my tea too hot.

Omg I went to a water park for the first time last year and I loved it! I did get a pass which skipped the long queues though so maybe that helped

Water parks are fab. But apparently I am weird for being an adult who wants to go to one. They are for kids only.

They really aren't! Why are adults not allowed to have fun on flumes etc too?

Well that's cheerful (also like my tea hot).

Beaches. Fuck sand - you are a hideous, invasive microbe of pure hell. Coupled with The Sea - big, deep and full of things that might kill you. More likely sewage in the UK rather than sharks though

Agreed, I've never been a beach person. Totally overrated. I can manage about 10 minutes before I am bored.

Actually, make that 10 seconds.

Supposed to be beautiful ? Honestly it truly is. So many beautiful places that it is impossible to have a favourite. Hope you have a great time when you get here.

They're slobbery, food-obsessed and a bit stupid IME. And I like dogs generally. I also prefer small terriers that have an air of just getting on with things, lurchers/greyhounds/sighthounds in general, collies... any dogs that look like they could do a day's work and are not only interested in stealing food.

All that applies to kids. Just saying.

I love them too. We went to one last year abroad. Loved the hourly wave machine. Most fun I've had with my teenage DS all year.

Sitting on beaches or even my own back garden and within ten minutes I'm bored
Even with a good book !
I can't see the appeal yet , people love it

I can't wait to go.

What happens to your cat's poo?

There are too many stunning places to visit in one trip, but I'd highly recommend Uist, Benbecula, Harris and Lewis.

I adore cats but the things PP listed often apply to them too !

Dubai

Cat poo is blossom's perfume carried on the wind of a warm summer's evening compared to dog poo.

skiing
dubai
dyson
salted fucking caramel anything
dogs
costa
the internet

…or moaning they ‘have nothing to wear’ ! 🤨

Stop telling everyone how nice the Scottish Highlands is! I don't need to get stuck behind yet another camper/motorhome while trying to go about my day! It's gross up here, do not come 😂

So I think I'll actually add campervans to my list!

Kidding, do come here, but drive at a normal speed, pay for a campsite not my local co-op car park (cheapskates) and take your shit home with you, thanks.

Question: do otters ever actually cross, or is this a huge myth/speed prevention technique?

Titanic museum - have you been in the last couple of years? They added 3 or 4 really good new bits and it’s much more cohesive and engaging than before. First time I thought it was just alright, second time I thought it was fantastic.
