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?

@ Springflowersyay -
“Those sticks in pots of oil that people have in every room in the house.”

I couldn’t agree more. I once upset my sister when staying at her house, when she found I had put the offending pot out of the bedroom and onto the landing because I just couldn’t stand it - it was suffocating. She’d also sprayed the pillow cases with some laundry spritz stuff - the effect was just overwhelming. We once stayed in an air bnb where they had them in every room including the kitchen and even on the stairs - we collected them all up and put them in the shed while we were staying there.

Yes, sweet sickly dough and overpowering dried oregano blasted through the air at a million degrees centigrade, to the sound of rattling cheap cutlery in a miasma of culinary disappointment and underachievement.

“More respectful” 🙄

My child had major surgery when they were a baby leaving them with a large visible scar. Whilst they were in intensive care I vowed to get a tattoo in honour of their bravery, strength and resilience and my thinking was that my tattoo would be my version of a scar telling the story of what me and my young family went through. I’m so bloody proud of my tattoo and can’t wait to show them and explain it to them when they’re older. I know they will love it. My eldest already does because they think part of it looks like a crocodile 🙂

Private car registrations.

I agree with Lush. I picked out a bubble bath bar as a treat, at the till it turned out to be twelve fucking quid!!!! And it coated the bath in shite.

Cats walking on countertops.

Untrained and non-assistance Dogs being taken everywhere. No Debbie, Fido does not need to go to B&Q or even worse bloody clothes shopping with you!
Fillers
TikTok
Turning films into musical stage shows
Crytpic “u ok hun” SoMe posts. If you want to call someone out publicly fucking have the balls to do it.

And absolutely agree re the Reed diffuser/air freshener/wax melt shite. They all smell rank and sickly.

I disagree with the dogs in prams! Have you ever actually asked. Babies have legs but they aren't expected to walk. My terrier has a metal plate in her leg and can only walk for short stints. She loves going out and I don't see why that should stop so I put her on a doggy pram and we alternate walking and riding. She is living her best life whilst she can...so don't make judgements on things you don't understand.

‘Called out’, ie the ubiquitous phrase that has replaced nice normal English words like ‘challenged’, ‘disagreed with’ and ‘disputed’.

Or, in many cases: ‘passive-aggressively huffed and puffed for a bit and was fairly petulant and rude in an inappropriate setting owing to levels of immaturity that I probably need to work on.’

Lip fillers

Nail Art is a strange one, but tastes differ....
I'm also going to add dogs everywhere because it's such a thing nowadays and I'm not sure why.
I don't like tattoos personally, but it doesn't bother me if I see them on other people.

Yep, I saw biting insects earlier in the thread. Since when are they popular 😅

The phrase 'I'm sorry for your loss' - trotted out without any genuine emotion behind it. See also 'our thoughts and prayers are with...'

Starbucks coffee
Scrunchbum shorts / leggings

Haribo

I know right, ‘look at my fabulous new dress made of biting insects, it’s so on trend’ 😂

Piercings of any sort. Even pierced ears make me feel queasy.

Long hair or long nails
Thong swimwear
White trainers

School uniform on DC below secondary school

’Picky bits’ agree very unappetising!
‘Making memories’ makes me feel even more nauseous

At least I don’t know anyone who uses these phrases IRL

Salmon
Crocs
Tattoos
Nose piercings

Soaps, although I suppose they’re a lot less popular than they were. They’re utterly shit and no I don’t think that it’s great that Coronation Street and the Archers are twice my age.

Graves. It’s really odd to me that lots of people are refusing to have funerals, which imo are really important, but still having graves which are awful. My dh’s grave was never going to be a happy place but it has been a source of unexpected levels of misery and family conflict.

Wine. Cant stand it.
curry

Forgot tattoos
lip fillers
false eyelashes.
