What is something that is popular but is something that you detest

[19ptrialprice]

What is something that is popular but is also something that you detest. It can be anything.

Picky bits - can’t fucking stand that phrase
Blake Lively - no, do not and have never got the hype. Rich nepo baby D list actress.
Love Island - trash
Dog/cats being pushed around in prams- if it has working legs, it can walk
Protein products - UPF advertised to the masses as “health” food to make a huge profit. Just eat whole foods that are high in protein.

You?

The music of Queen and the monarchy lol

Mayo. Why does every pre-packed sandwich have it 🤢

Alcohol. A disgusting drug that is incredibly bad for you. It makes some people aggressive and violent, and others sloppy and foul and horrible. One of the few really positive changes I have lived through is the decline of public drunkenness in the U.K. A lot of young people don’t drink at all. Thank god. I used to feel so ashamed when I took American friends to a bar in the late 90s. You’d see girls pissing in the street, boys fighting and vomiting and acting like savages. Still happens I guess, but nothing like as bad.

The Sun Newspaper. A national embarrassment. It panders to the ugly, oafish, beer-swilling, anti-intellectual moron side of this country.

The Royal Family. A bunch of ugly, snorting gargoyles. They make me so ashamed. I’m fairly patriotic, but my patriotism revolves around things like Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Dickens, Jane Austen, etc. It is our cultural and intellectual history that we should celebrate, not that lot. I doubt Harry has ever read a book. He’s basically a chav with a posh accent.

The Beckhams. Bunch of oiks who have been forced down our throats for a quarter of a century. Enough with them.

The “Aesthetic” trend that’s been going around the last few years. Clean girl, pink girl, career girl, husband girl, gym girl, hot girl summer.

You have to fit into a certain box and young girls are following these trends. People are changing every aspect of their life to follow the aesthetic.

People that try and make their photos look aesthetic too, like every post on fb or Instagram has to match on your page.

I just think it’s insane, and think people would feel less pressure to just be who you are

Other people's children
Dogs
Poorly trained humans who don't pick up their litter or their dog's shit.
Hobby cyclists
Miriam Margolyes
Dairy Milk chocolate
Coffee
Tea
Matcha anything

What the cashier from Natwest? She can stay. She makes Rishi Sunak look like Miss Congeniality. I’m not a lifetime voter and now I never will be…

I haven’t seen the other thread, but I agree that her comments are derailing this thread and that is a real shame. As you say, it is supposed to be lighthearted. We should all just stop engaging with these posts of hers.

I don’t know what that is, but it’s already clear that it’s ridiculous 🤣

I need to add the crazy false eyelashes and duck lips.

“Girl” used to mean woman, especially in book titles eg “The Girl Who … (disappeared, usually)

Picnics

Why do you do the back of your hair when you can't bloody see it?

Me too. I’m despairing at present

In your opinion.

Live music
Steak

Another one

Gin

Ballet pumps - shit footwear

Wine

90% of the music that has been released in the last 10 years

Love Island type shows - always the same type of people, they even look similar.

Vapes and all the tacky vape shops popping up.

Coffee with sweet syrupy stuff in them - salted caramel or toffee flavours🤢
I love my coffee but the sweet syrupy gloop is disgusting. Completely destroys the coffee imho.

Hot tubs- cannot think if anything worse!

Onion in sandwiches and wraps. 🤢

Especially when used for parties where there's a bar in the garden or shed.

I’ve started to quite like tattoos but there are some really odd choices out there for sure. A young man I know has a lovely ship in full sail but it’s on the inside of his upper arm, so the only way anyone can see it is if he lifts up his elbow to show you, and then it’s upside down. Why?

How to spoil a good meal!The devils work.

@StrikeForever if you look up videos of vocal fry you'll instantly recognise it. You often hear it in young American women's voices. Actually....maybe don't look it up because it's impossible not to notice when someone is doing it once you realise what it is! 🤣

Not with me!

Tattoos
