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 .

I often dislike musicals, find them self indulgent and embarrassing. I like music and theatre but not together. I know many do love them but you and your friend are not alone in feeling as you do.

I can understand hating stinky cheeses. My palate likes hard cheeses and un-aged cheeses like mozzarella and burrata and creamy cheeses like brie. But things like Stinking Bishop are a no go!

Lord of The Rings. I went to see the movie with a new boyfriend. I desperately wanted to walk out after about ten minutes but I really liked him.

I stuck it out but cried with relief walking away from the cinema. I thought I must look like a complete idiot! He did look a bit shocked but we’ve just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary so it was worth the pain of having to sit though the worst film I’ve ever seen.

Yuck!

I absolutely hate bbqs. I don't want to cook in the garden and I don't want to eat other people's half cooked meat and queue for salad and ketchup.
I also don't like buffet style restaurants. It's just cheap rubbish food and you have to eat like a pig to get any kind of value for money.
Oh and don't forget to queue again and ignore all the dirty people picking at the food with dirty hands and kids running around the restaurant excited about all the cheap food on offer.

The colour grey. Why it has been so popular is a mystery to me, it’s the colour of the roads, skies on a miserable day and battleships, absolutely horrid.

Puppies. I love adult dogs, but puppies are awful.

They're not trained, destroy things, bark a lot, piss and shit all over and are just overall annoying. Give me a kitten or old dog any day over a puppy.
