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?

Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, or Blackpool Tower or any tower. That Spinnaker one with the glass lift and floor. I had to wave the kids off with their Grandparents. I was left at the bottom in a state of terror just looking at it.

Abseil.

I've considered sky diving, I even watched some videos on YouTube. I'm rock hard!

I'd rather spend the entire Glastonbury festival locked in a shitty portaloo than any of the above.

Bottomless brunch.

A concert of music exclusively by the Strauss family of composers.

Dubai. I have zero interest in going there.

Skydive
Anything that’s linked to claustrophobia including escape rooms
Camping
Nails, facial, massage
Karaoke

I know this is personal so not picking on anything anyone has said, but a hen party is whatever you want it to be. I had about 6 close friends and family stay in a country cottage, we went for a walk, had dinner around the table, played card and board games, went to bed and then walked again the next day, lunch in a pub then we all went home. Just saying that hen parties are not all the same and I would also hate the tacky ones described here.

Any kind of festival
Coldplay concert
Any kind of sporting event
Trek into London to spend 5 seconds cheering on someone you know who's running the marathon when they don't even notice you
Go to a soft play centre

One of those hen weekends with forced fun.
Package holiday
Large shopping centre
Clothes shopping
Clubbing in Ibiza
Packaged pop concert eg Beyonce, Swift, Little Mix

Salted caramel

Have always wanted to go to The Edinburgh Fringe. What puts you off the festival BlueEyedBogWitch? Great username btw!

Glastonbury definitely, or any massive festival for that matter
A cruise
Dubai
Vaping
Botox/fillers

Agree with most of these apart from Spain, loved Northern Spain, did the Camino and everything was fabulous, I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Disney/theme parks in general
Big ship cruise, although I could cope with a very (sub 100 passengers, pref less) small expedition type cruise to somewhere like Svalbard /Galapagos /Antarctica.
Any big hotel/resort, especially AI. Fly and flop holidays in general.
Spa day.

Those massive O2 concerts where the whole thing takes about six hours.

Agree with you . Although a few years ago spent the day in Blackpool as had a family member holiday there and went to spend a day with them .
Having said that after about 2 hours took them out on a trip in the car so we could get away from Blackpool !

😂😂😂 we need the laughing emoji back!

Skiing. Paying a fortune to slide down a hill on two planks of wood in the freezing cold, probably breaking your arse bone in the process. Why? And if you ever suggest to anyone that it might be less than amazing, they always say “Ah, but just think about the apres-ski” with this “ooh, how decadent” type gleam in their eye. Erm, couldn’t I just get sloshed in the warm anyway without having to do the skiing bit?

Rollercoasters. Queue for an hour to experience what it’s like being in a horrendous high speed car crash before vomiting prolifically.

Bottomless Brunch
Multi course taster menus with wine
Anything involving me in water with large swimmy things ( dolphins or sharks)
Glastonbury too
White sand/blue sky beaches with nothing to do but drink rum based cocktails or scuba dive (see above sharky things) or sunbathe

Totally. I have fallen in love with Spain from seeing different areas and find Spanish people so much friendlier than French or Italians. It's interesting and reassuring to know we all like different things though.

So many things already stated: ski-ing, cruises, music festivals involving camping, any kind of event that draws a big crowd and costs a ton of money. The only exception to the last one being our local community event which I love because I know so many people and we can walk to it (and walk away when we've had enough).

Oh god, yes! I forced myself to watch once because I’d declared it utter crap at work and was forced to admit I’d only assumed that. Five minutes in I realised I should have trusted my instincts all along. Some orange puffa fish screeching “You’ve broken my heart!!” at a glassy-eyed pound shop Ken doll she met two days earlier, because he’s now taking part in the very game she knew he’d have to take part in with a different orange puffa fish.

Ha ha, I can go with pretty much all of these.

I've become a real homebody in the last ten to fifteen years and anything that involves crowds of people especially airports, cruises, holiday parks etc. makes me feel physically ill.

A friend is off for a hotel break this weekend with several other friends and I wish I could envy her and do the same thing ... but I don't!

So at home I'll stay 😆

Any hen do.
Spa days

I agree with so many of the previous ones: going on a cruise, attending any sporting event, going to Dubai, camping, mountain climbing. I wouldn’t do any of those things even if free - but I probably would if someone paid me enough!

But I would totally go to Glastonbury again and re-live my youth, as long as I could stay in the fancier bit with yurts with beds in them, flushing loos and showers etc.

Why did you go the second time?

We have been a few times to a family friendly festival and I'd go again in a shot but never Glastonbury.
Also Dubai and Botox.
Any kind of stag or hen do involving popular resorts or cities and bar crawls.
Any illegal drugs.
An all inclusive holiday (and I've been half board skiing but anything that involves unlimited drinking. For anyone).

@Shimmyshimmycocobop Love Northern Spain but do give Granada/Sevilla a chance in a cooler month.
