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 ?

OP - Strange that you chose a musical because I came here to say Hamilton. We hated it.

Wolfinmamma · 31/05/2026 18:54

Maybe this is a UK English vs USA English issue but I have no idea what you mean.

Do you mean you hate unmarried couples you know living together?

You personally hate living with an opponent sex partner unless you are married?

You hate that people can and will live together without being married in general?

Or something else?

Pandimoanymum · 31/05/2026 18:56

Most of those foods/flavours that suddenly seem to be incredibly popular and then get put in everything. Salted caramel, Matcha, N'duja, that type of thing.

I'm interpreting that comment as her saying she hates any heterosexual relationship that involves cohabiting.

There are some heterosexual couples that live in different homes. Some people report that living in different homes is good for their relationship.
