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?

Glastonbury
Go to Dubai
Go to the USA at the moment
Go to see horse racing

Shall I add to your list Costa Concordia sinking? 😂

Read a novel.
Get drunk.
Go camping.

I've heard of it, but I'm gonna add "watching poop cruise" to my list of popular things I wouldn't do even for free...!

Yeah DH keeps trying to make me watch it!

Sharing tables…

Good thing that you don't live where I do in Hong Kong, wouldn't find a table most of the time.

Owning a Tesla 🥴

Agree about Disney, Dubai, cruises. Won’t be going to the US under Trump.

Glastonbury - all my friends who went took a lot of drugs, so I’m too goody-goody to have enjoyed it 😂

Baby showers, the tackiest thing ever - so awkward when SIL had one 😂

I heard that about Chelsea! It always looks so nice on the press days and you imagine just walking through and hanging out and there being the same number of people you'd get in a normal park. Wishful thinking at it's finest.
Same with columbia road market. Soo busy and hectic the plants totally get lost in the melee!

Caving/Pot holing

I watched that film The Descent thinking all the time "Nooooo don't go there"

I know The Descent just a film , but there is also the tragic true story of "Nutty Putty Cave" which took the life of John Edward Jones in the most unthinkable way .

My sister used to go potholing , I could never fathom the appeal .

Hard-agree

Go camping

Glastonbury has never appealed to me either, mainly because it involves my other dislike….camping. I have been camping, once as a child. Never again.

Don't be utterly ridiculous. Australia is the best place in the world and if I could I would move there. Most of the people there are much friendlier then the people here, so much more laid back as well. It's a much better way of life out there. I have family who have lived there for more than 60 years who say they could never live in the UK again and I don't blame them.
You're at no risk of sharks, octopus or jellyfish if you stay out of the sea, and you rarely come across snakes or spiders. The heat is much more tolerable than our horrible stifling muggy summers as well. It's the most beautiful place in the world

To go and watch Formula 1.

I just don’t understand the appeal of watching cars race around a track - I get a headache if I listen to more than 5 minutes of it if it’s on the tv!!!

Fancy dress

Like many others - anything Disney, big cruise (I’d like to go on a small one with interesting historical visits and lectures though). Dubai, Manchester, York at a weekend, Lidl & Aldi, Primark, a nail place, bingo, anywhere where the table staff feel the need to describe my food in loving tones or offer any kind of advice, Hollywood bowling.

I’ve changed my mind about one though - Wetherspoon’s; first visit a few weeks ago (no choice!) and thought it was bloody brilliant! Really buzzy, cheap, no music, much nicer than the bleak, soulless, expensive place a few doors away.

Wetherspoons also had a paramedic on standby, kind of reassuring.

Any dangerous sport or fun thing.

… but I was answering the OP’s question.
It’s a popular thing I wouldn’t do, even if it was paid for.
Glad you like it, but it’s not for me.

Spa Day
Middle East Holiday
Beach holiday
Beauty Salon Treatments
Weight Loss Injections

Dubai
Glastonbury
Camping

Fair enough but it's the only place I've been honestly happy. The only thing I don't like is the long long flight but I would go back in a heartbeat. It's so stunning and I'd be off there like a shot if I had the chance again

Bit of a Blast From the Past but I wouldn't go to an Ann Summers Party now .
Been in the past in my 20s and they were a laugh but not my thing now

Go to see Oasis.
Ed Sheeran,
Adele
Lewis Capaldi.
Do long transfer from the airport holidays. Do a holiday where you didn't know where you were staying.
If that even is a thing anymore.

Once went on a square deal last minute thing in the 90s. Holiday.
Never again, didn't know where you were going.
2 hour coach transfer through the night after a flight.

Go on a long coach journey without a toilet.
