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 ?

I’ve never been skiing but I expect I’d hate that too 🤣

The snowy mountain itself is lovely . All the apres ski stuff is nice. Walking in rhe snow once you’ve put on all the gear is nice.Skiing is horrendous. Never again 😂 God I think I might be a bore.

😆 yes! Just so whiney, I felt they never had the edge as the other rock band did back then.

Sacrilege!

Twilight

Wicked

Six

Definitely Wicked. I haven't seen the others two. The costumes were fabulous but the show was sooo disappointing. We also left at the interval. Such a let down after all the hype! 😒

Coffee! It tastes like crap 🤮

The Beatles

Yes! I’m with you on that! And (lately) Queen… and I’ve always disliked ABBA… I’m at home with the radio on a lot and find myself yelling
“ play something else” all the time.

Foods to burn in hell…

peppers… overwhelming stinky things turning up in everything. Ditto bloody salted caramel, Dubai chocolate and Biscoff!
Any form of fish with eyes and skin still present… fresh fish counters make me retch, I have to close my eyes when I pass them. God, I went faint when I saw an Eel on a counter once.
Can’t cope with alcohol anymore … used to love a drink and a dance, but if I’m ever forced to go out after teatime, I’m clock watching to get home to my pjs and the dog! Alcohol makes my head spin and I feel sick so I’m a cheap date now😄

Skinny jeans. Even moreso on men!

HelenaWaiting · 31/05/2026 23:32

You don't see them much any more, but those cold shoulder tops everyone was wearing a few years ago. You look fecking stupid. Eff off and buy a mirror.

Franjipanl8r · 31/05/2026 23:34

Yoga - I hate it. I’ve tried lots of different types but every time it pisses me off.

Coffee

I'm with you on that one. A horrible drink.

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 31/05/2026 23:40

Football. Never really understood the hype, all the "who do you support?" bollocks. Well, none really because I neither financially or emotionally invested in anybody, but if you say none the atmosphere goes so stale. Feels very us and them.

Matcha

I was going to say that. But wasn’t sure how to spell it and wax too lazy to look it up.
Yeah! To my tastebuds it tastes fishy (literally).

I can stand ‘Friends’ to prog a group of adults behaving like immature teenagers, and the canned laughter grrrr!!!

NoCarCantGoFar · 31/05/2026 23:51

Oh yes, ‘Friends’ seems so fake, also ‘bonnet dramas’ can’t bear these either.
Anything advertised on Sky Atlantic - full of guns and explosions and violence.. and the adverts for this stuff is so damn noisy!
Danny and Dani Dyer - just go away pleeease! I see more of them than I do my own DP… and he’s much nicer!

ThatBlackCat · 31/05/2026 23:55

The tv show Friends. Where the audience laughs at absolutely fuck all. Someone drops a fork. Audience laughs.

Walking. People in the UK seem deeply obsessed with going on walks on Boxing Day (fuck knows why) or any day really, when many of us are hung over and want to stay in bed or around the house, not even the kids want to leave their back yard or toys, kids hate it more than the adults. I never willingly walk, don't see the point in it, if I have to go further than the end of the street I take my car.

The Blues Brothers film. It's utterly crap. And I'm a huge soul music obsessive.

tachetastic · 01/06/2026 00:15

Avocado. No clear flavour. Texture of slime.
