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

[BernieBarks]

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 .

It tastes like dirt.

Most charting books, and I used to work in bookshops!!! I always wanted to say to customers ‘stop buying what publishers want you to buy and have a good old root for something you want to read instead!!!’

oh I so agree. Can't even stand the smell.

I never have pizza in restaurants. I grudge paying all that money for the same thing I’d get in the supermarket for £3

can anyone tell me what "chinking" ice is please?

Indeed. A few more than he should be popular with.

Gavin and Stacey.

Ugg boots…they are fucking minging and so cheap and common looking

Maybe a typo for ‘clinking ice’?

Football
Drag Queens
Adverts for period pads and pee pads
Gardening

Magnum.

Leave me cold, but not through eating one.

I share 4 of your 6!

Love ice cream and am an avid follower of football.

Can I add coffee, red wine, and travelling ( except by car) certainly not by plane, tunnel or boat! Also including ‘exploring’ sorts of holidays or camping.

Yes, I watched the 1st episode of the US Office & just thought "wtf? It's exactly the same episode but with American actors!"

Normal People- the book and the TV adaptation

Tattoos
Bold-print, cheap-fabric maxi dresses
Wet rooms
Big bulky cars
Synthetic lashes, nails, tans, clip-in hair pieces

Wuthering Heights - absolutely loathed it, sick stalking obsession. Vile.
Coffee
Tea
Pineapple

Tea 🤮
tomato ketchup 🤮
coffee 🤮
Strictly.
Reality TV

thanks, but I have no idea what that is either?

Football
Abba
George Clarke (the architect one) - to be honest I do like to watch Old House New House, but mainly so I can complain about how smug he is.
David Attenborough programmes
Line of Duty
Frida Kahlo
The Repair Shop
Drag
Ed Sheeran
& I agree with all the previous comments about Coldplay. Awful.

I went in 1990 when no one paid and you just knew where the ‘special entrances’ were, where you could just rock up and someone would let you through the fence.

The weather was lovely and I should have loved it, but the sheer number of people was overwhelming to me. We were in a group of about 20 and most were only interested in the rave acts that didn’t begin until about 1am. It took all I could give to persuade a few to stumble towards some of the headline bands.

I wasn’t a big drug-taker, but once we discovered people selling very strong hash cakes in the next field, I basically self-medicated for it’s duration.

Have never been inclined to go back, especially as you’re now paying an absolute fortune for this experience.

Oh, and on the last day, I went to pee and the mounds of feaces were poking above the toilet bowl, so I had to try and stand either side to do it 🤢

@MesonBoson yes me! Can’t stand Stephen Fry. Or David Attenborough

Edited for spelling error

Don’t quite agree with you, but this made me giggle.
