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 ?

Getting drunk. Most people seem to exist just to go out and drink. I got drunk accidentally on two occasions when I was young and felt so sick and horrible.

Botox and fillers.
I can't do it. I also don't think it makes you look younger, just like your age with botox and fillers.
And ironically (and stupidly) my 34 year old unbotoxed face got IDd in Tesco last week.

Paris. I find it neither beautiful nor romantic. Imho it's a shit hole and I've felt more aesthetically pleased and romantically inspired by Leeds
