Popular things you wouldn't even do for free... (Glastonbury for me)

[BringYourOwnBullshit]

Me? Glastonbury. There isn't enough vodka in Russia to get me there. Too many people, too much noise, hay fever, having to piss and shit (both of which I need to do a lot) in shared portaloos probably with no bog roll, not having a proper shower or proper anything wash wise, feeling sticky and unclean, not having a real bed to sleep in. The list goes on and on and on. If someone offered me £50,000 to go from the very beginning to the very end I'd probably consider it but even then I doubt I'd bite. If I did I'd probably die of misery by day two anyway. Utter, utter misery.

What's yours?

Disneyland. Loud, jangly, overcrowded, overwhelming consumerist hell. And people pay half a year’s salary to go.

Any form of camping. Riding a motorbike.

Watch Robbie Williams, irritating attention seeking untalented, saw him at a festival years ago because some friends wanted to see his set, god awful

Omg yes! I have absolutely no desire to go to Disney

Cycling in traffic. Bikes so thin and fragile compared to cars buses and trucks. No way.

A cruise.

I see some of the appeal. But all of those nice things can be replicated in other ways and there are far more things that do not appeal one bit. And then there is the small but definite risk of being trapped in an avoidable disaster - storms and seasickness, mass norovirus, remember the quarantined COVID ship...? <shudder>

Nope, you'd have to pay me a LOT to do it.

I'm with you. I would rather watch Glastonbury in the comfort of my own home.

Anything that involves huge crowds.

Live and work in London

Karaoke (shudder)

All inclusive holidays in sterile purpose built resorts

Go to Dubai

Take a cruise on a hideous huge cruise liner with thousands of passengers

Loads of things- go to major sporting events like rugby or football matches, music festivals of any sort, Marathons or any other organised running or active group thing. Get false eyelashes or fake tan or cosmetic stuff.

I would take your Glastonbury ticket and swap you Dubai.

Go to any music festival.
Have a professional massage, particularly a foot massage.
Be a nurse.
Work with children below teenage years.

*Edited...I just saw it's supposed to be about 'popular things' you wouldn't do, so I may have got carried away with the last 2!

I loved Glastonbury but you'd have to give me a six figure sum to go anywhere near Disney. I also have no desire to ever go on a spa day again. Or to a nightclub.

Get my nails done, my hair dyed or other "beauty" treatments.

A cruise.

I wouldn't want to go there either but I'll take it over Glastonbury. Even thinking about it makes me want to brush my teeth and get in the shower!

Skiing. I don’t want to have to wrap up to break all of my bones.

ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Plus

Botox and fillers
Spa weekends and massages
All inclusive hotels
Holidays anywhere in the Middle East
Hosting lots of people

I've been to Glastonbury twice. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than go again.

A cruise. So many people all together having fake quick visits to different countries. How can you enjoy a day trip clock watching the whole time!

A cruise.
A bottomless brunch.
A Dreamboys/Chippendales show.
A trip to Las Vegas.
Edinburgh Festival.
Blackpool.
Skiing.

Never have I ever, and I never fucking will.

Plastic surgery, Botox etc. My body isn't perfect but it's real.

Spain.

I just don’t get it. Give me France and Italy any day.

The World Cup (or any other football match). Would pay a lot of money not to have to be anywhere near that.

Disney land for me too

I did Blackpool in 2021. It really was a total, total shit hole. It was actually shocking and I'm the kind of person who's happy with a bang average 3 or 4 star hotel. Shame really because the beach itself was lovely and Lytham 10 miles down the road is very nice indeed.

Music festivals of any kind.
Camping.

Basically anything that involves not being able to have instant access to a clean bathroom and toilet. Why people pay good money for activities that require them to be a sweaty stinking mess for days on end is a mystery. I didn’t even get it when I was a teenager. My mate went to Leeds festival and stopped off at my parents house on the way home (where i lived at the time) for a bath when we were 19. She stank, was filthy, was completely knackered, but said she’d had the time of her life!

London or any other major city (I used to visit London every weekend but would rather pull my teeth out these days).

Any holiday which involves sitting on a beach or by the pool roasting myself all day (seems to be my friend's idea of a fab trip away) or Dubai which looks as tacky as hell

Going to a gender reveal party

Anywhere super crowded - I'd rather be in the middle of a field

Wear long false acrylic nails - they give me the creeps

Wear those arse crack showing leggings or those bikinis that show most of your arse so you may as well not be wearing anything

Flesh coloured clothing especially leggings which upon first impression look like you aren't wearing anything

Driving a BMW, mercedes or Range Rover

Escape rooms. I know in reality you can be let out any time you want but I'd feel panicky and trapped.
