Stand up comedy. I watch at least 5 stand up shows every week and absolutely love it but wouldn't want to do it myself even for a million pounds!

True Crime. I'll happily sit and watch a 2 hour documentary about a family being murdered in the most violent way possible, but can't even say no to strangers in case I hurt their feelings 💔

Pottery. I love watching The Great Pottery Throwdown. I never miss an episode - but absolutely no desire to do it.

I came on to say this! I LOVE the Throwdown, and always fancied a go at pottery, but never got the opportunity. Having watched it, however, it looks like you need to be good at Maths (and I'm very discalcula). Having them work out sizes to fit lids on, and allow for shrinkage, etc makes me stressed just thinking about it.

It looks very technical, and that puts me off.

Dog agility at Crufts.
My canine partner would be uncooperative!

Whenever a Mountain Rug Cleaning video appears on my feed I watch it. It's like a visual ASMR.

Actually doing it? 🤢

I've recently found another quite niche one.

There is an account on Tiktok that cleans up broken make up palettes. People send their eyeshadow or blush palettes that have been dropped and the powder has broken up and spilled everywhere. They painstakingly take them apart, clean everything, then press the make up back into the sections. Its incredibly satisfying to watch.
