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.

Oh, amd I agree with some pp about snow! It makes things so slippery, which due to c0oridination disabilities is really hazardous for me, and keeps me shut in as I don;t want to fall and break my neck.

Why mix delicious orange juice with champagne, or even prosecco?

Sadly, I can put my oven on and forget it. Expensive and the results are poor.

Snow , it makes even the most grotty areas look nice for about an hour then turns into sludge and ice and black snow which is lethal. I remember walking to it to school and ending up with wet feet. Had to just get on with it, but it was horrible :(
It can be nasty.

You're thinking of guosto, hellofresh has decent portions. Guosto has tiny ones but they are the same price as hello fresh!

Having BIAB nails done. Having the old colour filed off is absolute cringe. Makes me want to heave. I have to try and go into some sort of meditation to try and deal with it.
Having eyelashes done. It's meant to be relaxing, so I'm told (I get them done as lost most of mine to thyroid disease) I find it unbearably uncomfortable, doesn't help I'm a fidget. The infill is ok but it's the take off that I hate... I itch and water so much.
Having sex on a beautiful fossil beach on Skye (no not on the actual fossils, that would hurt). Turns out it's tick central. My then DP got a tick burrow in HIS NIPPLE. I had to tear his nipple apart with my nails to get the burrowing bastard out as he screamed. Once done I tripped over a rotting dead seal.

I also have a disability and snow even a little bit means I can't go out on my own.i hate it, as posters said, it is nice to look at for an hour.

BBQs. Especially those of other people that we are invited to. Always seem to sit there starving for ages and then the food is a letdown

Sourdough bread = dreadful indigestion.
Champagne or red wine = instant headache.
KFC = the chicken is edible but the coating isn't what it used to be.

I second this with knobs on! My swimming with dolphins experience was actually terrifying. It was in a very deep sea pool, the dolphins were very fast and skimmed against my body, I was very aware that they can kill with one body slam. Imagine being in deep water with something the size of a large cow swimming around you at lightning speed. Then they do this weird body scan thing, they get close and you can feel, and hear them sending frequencies to check you out, like a squeaking pulse. I was very glad to get out of that pool, aside from the dolphins, there was a ship wreck a long way beneath that showed the scale and depth of the pool, so it gave the sense of being on top of a high rise building. I have vertigo so it was horrible.

Thank you that made me laugh. It is true though. A friend once described peppermint tea as tasting like pre chewed chewing gum!

Diamond shoes. They’re just so damn tight!

I second that. Refuse to buy any cakes and desserts now. I make my own from scratch using butter, eggs, flour etc.

Brush your teeth. Rinse your mouth. Spit the water into a glass. Repeat twice a day, spitting the water into the same glass.

At the end of the week, pour the contents of the glass into your favourite mug and heat through in the microwave. Voila! Peppermint ‘tea’.

Children

Hot bubble baths. I’m 5’9” so most of me sticks out in the colder air. It’s also really uncomfortable lying on hard plastic trying to contort myself into the shape of the bath is rubbish. My scalp gets sweaty too.

I dont like baths now I used to love a bath , when we moved to this house we had a new bathroom put in with a whirlpool bath, ive used it a handful of times, it just seems to much effort.

Baths.

The first moment is painfully scalding, and then you kind of stew breathlessly until it's time to wriggle around trying to decide where to rest your head without the rim of the bath digging into it making you feel like one of those car crash test dummies.

Having rolled up a towel to tuck behind your head (which you now have to wash because it has slipped down and become soapy and sodden several times), you realise the water is actually lukewarm, your skin is pruney and your bum flat as the underside of a germknodel.

After hoisting yourself to an upright position, sloshing water like a whale in the shallows, you have to manage not to slip and crack your head open stepping out. Then you need a shower to hose off the muck off that you have been sitting poaching in. As a final little disappointment, you notice the bath now seems to have a soap rim round it.

For added horror see "sexy bathing with your partner."

We cross posted!

Or just existing in them, veruccas, bums and all!
Let's all share a bath with some strangers - no thanks!

Raspberry and chocolate together.

We did boo to baths 😀

I "lold" at sexy bathing though 😂

Our slow gin tastes wonderful
