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?

Oh god yes, tattoos. Like ugly blue graffiti trashing attractive pure skin.

Stupid phrases like 'reach out'.

Donuts. Taste rank and cheap - so fatty and sugary when you could be having some amazing cakes or puddings. Total waste of calories!

Sushi
Lasagne

Ed Davey gives me the fucking rage

SusanSHelit · 01/07/2025 00:08

Eating animals

School uniforms, particularly draconian secondary school uniforms

Tories /right wing politics in general

Reality tv

Most takeaway food. Greasy, salty and wholly unappealing. Even the smell of the Chinese chip shop or greasy kebab and pizza place knocks me sick

Acrylic nails. I don't care what other people put on their nails and they do quite often look lovely, but I hate how bulky they make mine feel, even just the shellac polish stuff. Sensory nightmare

Cheap perfume dupes. No, they don't last as long. Yes, I can smell the difference nine times out of ten

Face fillers /botox /shit of that ilk

MoonWoman69 · 01/07/2025 00:11

Okra, hideous slimy stuff!
Neighbours greasy smelling BBQs, they can be cleaned after each use you know?!

Cheese (except halloumi)

MrsAvocet · 01/07/2025 00:13

Salad cream, mayonnaise, ketchup and all similar revolting slime that people ruin perfectly good food with.

Coastliner · 01/07/2025 00:14

Conflate - used by various posters on MN but no-one IRL actually uses this word.

Charli XCX’s set at Glastonbury on Saturday night. Also, Rod Stewart.

People who allow their animals to go in the kitchen.

My dog has her basket in the kitchen. What’s so bad about having your dog in the kitchen?

Yes, and "in store"

Adults going to Disney land and being obsessed with it.
Influencers on IG taking pics of their lunch/ exercising or perfect house that have no idea/
experience of real life lr things that actually matter in life, it’s totally vacuous IMO.

Those women on Instagram who decant shit into little plastic containers for no good reason - over consumerism at its finest.
