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.

Yes to fruit teas. They just taste of hot water with barely any fruit taste, very disappointing

Hot chocolate - sicky yuk
Baileys - sicky yuk
Pampering yourself - boring
Baths - boring and wet

I only ever camp for festivals now. Although more and more are offering hotel packages these days, thankfully, so it’s just a couple of festivals.

Otherwise yeah, agree that camping is complete fucking bullshit and in no way a ‘holiday’. 🙅‍♀️

Auntie praised roast potatoes in goose fat, Gave them a go, utterly rank and completely ruined a Christmas dinner a few years ago

Just thought of another one, Afternoon tea. Admittedly I don’t really like sandwiches so already on the back foot with them but even so they’re always disappointing and expensive.

Yep. One of you is always cold. And water is really.... drying.. in your special crevices.

Afternoon Tea: Sickly, disappointing, and not worth the calories or price.

Maybe twice a year I'll get a donner kebab. The cravings of the Donner meat get too much so I eventually get one.
And regret it almost straight away.
After the first few bites/strips, it just leaves a weird lard taste in your mouth. The smell seems to take over every cell in your body and the house stinks. Not worth it...
But I'm sure the cravings will return and I'll have to live with the regret all over again.

Got to agree with yoga- the whole time I kept thinking "Why is it so SLOWWWW?" Plus the teacher had one of those annoying 'mindfulness' type voices- I guess it was supposed to be soothing but I found the whole thing irritating.

Also- camping. I love tents. I love the idea of camping. There's a woman I follow on FB who goes off solo wild camping and it looks amazing and I watch the reels and think "Wow. I'd love to do that." Except- I need a whole carful of camping gear to be comfortable at night. I hate peeing outside. I hate sitting around outside in the dark on an uncomfortable chair or worse- a log or rock or whatever. Plus, frankly some of the locations, while beautiful, look bloody spooky and I'd be a scaredy-cat. So probably not as nice I think it would be.

Yes to this. I always describe the taste as “farm”

Breakfast in bed

Any coffee that's not exclusively coffee flavoured, ditto cheese, I don't want my lovely Wensleydale adulterated

Yes! Also sex in the bath.

McDonald's. Every now and again, maybe twice a year, I think ooh yes. And every time I regret it.

Yes to afternoon tea especially the sandwiches : they always include something I don’t like ham + mustard , turkey + cranberry sauce not a fan and the scones leave a lot to be desired
plus the ones in London are really getting very expensive

Picolax sounds like such a nice gentle, kind laxative. Like tiny, delicate fairies are coaxing out your impacted bowels with flutes and panpipes while you gently rest on soft cushions listening to Chopin and eating Turkish delight.

No. It’s not that sort of laxative.

Strawberries. Look delicious but they smell like bins and really the only nice thing is picking them!

😂

Haha defo this

Coffee. Smells so great. Tastes so naff.

Cornwall. Crowded, expensive, naff

Brainwashing......so funny ! Reminds me of that post where someone insisted she washed her actual eyeballs every day !

Agree with spa boredom and other people's weddings.

Snow. It looks pretty for a day or so, and is fun for about half that. Then we either end up with dirty mounds of slush everywhere, or hazardous patches of ice. And it's COLD. No thanks.

I accompanied DH and the kids into town on Christmas Eve once. They had one person to buy for as I had done everything else. 🙄 I thought it might be fun to pick up a bit of the atmosphere, which of course would be all festive and twinkly.

It was NOT. Obviously, all the shops were rammed; lights and music were blaring from who-knows-where, it was freezing and blowing a gale, and he rain was horizontal. I felt so overstimulated that I went to a coffee shop and sat at the back of it until the others were done shopping.

My friend once referred to bad tea as brown sadness water.

Sex 😂
