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 ?

Alcohol and getting drunk. I’m not teetotal (rarely drink but will have a Bailey’s at Christmas and maybe a zero alcohol beer in the Summer). I don’t get the appeal of getting drunk at all (the couple of times in my life were just horrible). Wine really isn’t nice.

I don't like alcohol either. I'm your dream guest for Christmas - no alcohol, no gluten (that one is medical), no meat and no dried fruit 🤣

Beyondamountainandoverthesea · 31/05/2026 16:06

Alcohol - detest the taste of it all.

Animals in your house

With you there.

When it comes to food I dislike tuna, baked beans and bananas (separately or together!).

Love Island, TOWIE, MiC, I’m a celeb, BGT, MAFS… Any other show like this. I used to enjoy Big Brother when Davina presented it so not averse to reality TV but never got on board with any of those.

Totally with you - I don’t like cooking or baking shows either ( yet I like cooking) or strictly or dancing on ice etc -

Duran Duran. Saw them live in my 20s. Everyone was having a great time, except me and my two mates. Bunch guys and a synthesizer? We felt old.

Also: marmalade, sunbathing parties, trifle.
