Have you ever felt disappointed in someone you don't even know?

I follow a couple of, I suppose they are influencers, on Instagram. Fun accounts, great women, often championing other women. One in particular is quite vocal on how women can often be overlooked etc.

I've just seen on Instagram that they are on a trip to Dubai - there is around 10 of them there with a travel company and I feel a bit disappointed. This is, of course, completely ridiculous and these people can go wherever they want, but, Dubai?

I'm very fortunate to have been able to visit lots of fantastic places, but Dubai is one of the places that does not sit well with me at all, for a million reasons, and it's made me feel a bit 'I didn't think they would endorse somewhere like that'.

Have you ever felt disappointed in someone that you don't actually know? There are the obvious ones course, who have been in the news over the last decade etc.

Disclaimer: it's obviously none of my business where these women chose to spend their time.

If Timothy Busfield is guilty of what he’s being accused of I will be so very disappointed. Not just for the crime, that would be awful enough. For those of us that watch the West Wing it will be hard to watch.

Pssst.... It's all of them 🤫

Yes. Hugh Jackman when I read he was divorcing. I have no idea why.

This was years ago but I was disappointed in George Harrison when I learned he had an affair with Ringo’s wife Maureen. (He’s even seen singing a little song about her in the Get Back film.)

Ashley James has always been a fake, she does do a great job of appearing genuine though

Yes. There’s a woman called Michelle the Bartender on social media. I used to really like her content but she kept posting bitchy skits shaming customers for not tipping enough. I was embarrassed for her if anything so I just unfollowed her. A tip shouldn’t be expected/demanded 🙄

I think the fact she is Racist and a massive Maga supporter is more of an issue than videos about shitty tipping
