Things that sound nice but actually aren't

[WeeAgnes]

I'm putting forward Fruit teas.
Some of the combinations sound so promising and positively delicious.

In reality, they taste what I imagine drinking pot pourri to be like.

Raclette

Fiona in the wild!! I watch her videos too.
She makes it look so fun, she even camps in the winter!!

And sharing a bath - who gets the tap (unless it's in the middle)

Agree with camping. Although I don't think it sounds nice either.

And picnics, you just get bothered by off-lead dogs and insects and sometimes birds.

Going to central London to see the christmas lights

Puppies - they grow into dogs and are absolute pains in the arse.

Aperol spritz - sounds and looks lovely and refreshing, literally tastes like bile.

Inviting your IL’s/dp’s for Christmas - the thought of it is better than the reality, which becomes horribly apparent after about 30mins of everyone being in the same room.

What!? All of those things are an absolute joy to me

Noooo Paris is gorgeous. What about it don't you like?

For me, it's going to go/see some odd seasonal thing, like lavender fields or pumpkin patches. You travel for ages and then there's a field you look at for 20 seconds and...that's it.

And their cookie dough and brownie tray... their desserts are generally not nice

Salmon/ 99% of sea food except battered cod - some meal options look good but it stinks and tastes like the ocean

Coffee - so many different ways to have it and yet it tastes foul

Another one for fruit teas - tastes nothing like flavours advertised

Steak - not for me - too tough and chewy

Celery...

Parties with loads of people you don't know.

M&S meals always looks really tasty and appetising on the box but they usually taste just a bit better than the box.

Beef Wellington. Just a pasty. What a waste of fillet steak.

Steak isn't tough or chewy if it's cooked properly!

I'm with you on coffee but also like the taste but find the extra nervousness that accompanies it is unhelpful. Low caffeine tolerance.

Staycations with lots of families and kids under one roof !

Just no!

there’s always a messy one, a lazy arse, cheeky kids and an incredibly loud person that interrupts everyone’s stories !

Chocolate Brownies. Sound lovely but in reality just crap.

The steak and pastry I can cope with… but that weird mushroom paste round it…. Why?

Cant speak for the PP but its a dump! The only good thing about it is the Louvre.

The Ideal Home Exhibition - words cannot express how crowded noisy and boring it is. All that tat. So inconvenient to get to.
Going out on a sunny Bank Holiday - Stuck in traffic for hours. Always too hot, crowded and expensive. Relaxing in the garden is the winner's formula. Maximise hours in the sun
I also agree about Yoga..especially at work in some soulless meeting room with colleagues in lycra.. the pressure of fart suppression is too much for the human frame to bear

One night camping is all it takes to remind oneself why the majority of human civilization has been a race to get as far away from the outdoors as possible!

The area around the Louvre isn't very pretty but paris is an absolute picturebook (and far less bombed out than say, London, so huge amount ofold stunning buildings) outside the main drag. I can't quite get the hate?

Also thought of another one - airport lounges. Sounds luxurious, always a disappointment

😂😂👏🏼👏🏼 “Trench Minge”

Cocktails. Do not get the appeal for chucking a load of different alcohol in a glass. And being charged the earth for it.

The most disappointing cake of all to eat out is chocolate - just overly sweet, waxy shite!

I'm also adding desserts in most restaurants. Fab main course often followed by a soggy piece of "Sara Lee" with a squirt of cream, for the best part of a tenner.
