Have you ever hated something that seems very popular with everyone else ?

Just for fun so no sarcasm or nastiness please .
My friend and I went to see a West End musical this week . I was really looking forward to it . Great reviews . Celebrity cameos . Camp and fun . Seemed right up our street .
We both hated it . We were turning to each other with puzzled looks and raised eyebrows (we've known each other forever and have very similar tastes so no words needed) .
The audience seemed off their tits to be honest . Screeching at every unsubtle innuendo . Shouting responses to the actors . It was like a really bad hen do .
We left at the interval .
My point is that everyone else seemed to be having a great time . The staff who opened the doors to allow us to leave at the interval were incredulous . I quote : "Are you not enjoying it ?!"
Well no , we weren't . We thought it was shit .
This is a show that is up for lots of awards and has had so many positive reviews .
Have you ever hated something that everyone else seemed to love ?

Books, cheese, wine, BBQs, spa days, slow cookers, out of date food, stale bread, lentils, flowery dresses

Is out-of-date food really popular with anyone, though? My grocery order included a lemon creme cake that expired the next day. It's still on my counter if someone wants it. 😉

Jaffa Cakes.
I just don't like the chocolate and orange flavour combination.
I feel alone in this as I've never met anyone who doesn't like them and people look amazed at work when they're offering the Jaffa Cakes (and at Christmas Chocolate Orange) around and I say that I don't like them.

I ate an entire box of Jaffa Cakes yesterday 🫣 My excuse was that they have got very small so not really a whole box. Will never not love Jaffa Cakes.

Oh and banana bread. Vile.

’Reality’ programmes like Love Island and other obviously fake programmes with people who look the same.

Friends (the tv show) - I was coming of age when it was ubiquitous and I absolutely loathe it. It’s not funny.

Coleen Hoover and Freida McFadden books - fucking dreadful.

Someone said to watch Last One Laughing and it was so unfunny, I just sat there stony faced and bemused . One episode was quite enough.

Oh yes Last one Laughing was painful

Avocado. Mealy mush.
Sally Rooney.

Oh yes, Sally Rooney.

She's written one good book but mostly duds and she's feted like a modern-day-prophet.

Who gives a fuck what she thinks about israel/palestine?

And I'm sure she's deliberately sour-faced.

As much as I hate it when men say this; whenever I see her photo, I think "Cheer up love, it might never happen"

Wetherspoons chocolate orange espresso martini is to die for imo. The only good thing about winter! Ok I am exaggerating slightly....!

Hopefully they’ve stopped being a thing, but freestanding baths in the middle of your bedroom. I don’t get it at all and they make me quite angry!

I've never heard of that. Are you sure you don't mean bathroom?
