To hate twatty London nights out

[Ohgivemestrength1]

In London at a party. £10 for a fucking g&t. Pretentious crowd. Would rather be at home in my pj's with a cup of tea. Aibu??

Why are you there if you don’t like the people?! I agree London nights out are expensive, but you must have known that before you decided to go?

No I hated London nights out overpriced drinks, trying to get the last train or a taxi home.

Been there, done it, hated it. In the end I stopped going to parties held in venues like that. I've never enjoyed myself as I don't relax.

Can you leave?

Of course you’re not. Sounds like a great night out to me, but if you’re not enjoying it, go home and watch a bit of telly before bed.

YABU to imply that all London nights out involve pretentious people (although TBF £10 g&ts are not uncommon). YWNBU leave if you're not enjoying yourself though (and buy a bottle of Bombay sapphire on your way home).

If it’s not your cuppa it’s not your cuppa!
Unfortunately they’ll charge £10 because people will pay it, but it must be in a posh area as your average London g+t would be more like £5-6.

£10 for a G&T? That is pretty much standard wherever you go in a major city ie Manchester,Glasgow, Edinburgh etc so not just London.

Hate G&T - missing the point. Drink beer!

I prefer nights out just with one friend or maybe a few really good ones - something to eat and drink and a really good chance to talk. Somewhere cozy and friendly. I hate poncey nights out.

Where the fuck are you drinking in Glasgow than a gin and tonic costs a tenner??

I went to uni in London. Usually went to student nights but occasionally we did venture into central... found a club where the shots were £12.50!!! Nope

Yabu. No one is forcing you to go out in London. £10 is cheap for a gnt - you can’t be in central London. Go home if you hate it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

YANBU
My friends love this kind of thing but I've opted out now
They can have unlimited gin at mine but they like their swanky bars.

I don't like the bars or the journey home.

I used to love nights out in bars and clubs mostly in central London

Now on occasion I might go but would never get the night bus back and leave early standing around in loud bars where i can’t hear myself 🤔 (yes I am over 40) is painful and boring

Much rather a night in watching Netflix

YANBU. I prefer a quiet meal in my local borough and walk home. Far easier, cheaper and more pleasant.

funny responses. Just forgot how expensive nights out were. I have a baby and live in the sticks so it's been a while. Priorities have changed I guess. Oh well nearly home time!

I count the minutes until it’s socially acceptable to go home.

Oh I hate the "can't hear anything" thing
I'm convinced people are just pretending to hear what others are saying!

@Misericord yes! Hahaha. Oh God I'm dull

“£10 is cheap for a gnt”

Gotta love MN. Even if you were complaining about a 30 quid g&t there would always be an Elevenerife poster saying that wAs in fact cheap!

FGS stop whining. Go home already. Yes of course you can drink gin in your front room but you’ll never encounter the same possibilities as you will stepping out onto a city street on a summer night.

My last 2 nights out in London were to see Jack White play in Hammersmith and to see Hamilton. Yes absolute boasts.... good luck experiencing that in the sticks.

@AnExcellentUsername - the west end of Glasgow, were ubiquitous chip is also in more central Glasgow hutchesons G&T’s are around £10.

where

"£10 for a G&T? That is pretty much standard wherever you go in a major city ie Manchester,Glasgow, Edinburgh etc so not just London."

I must live a sheltered life. I think £10 for a G & T is extortionate.

“The same possibilities” ... drunk people, letchy men, overpriced drink, sticky floors...nope, I partied hard in my teens and twenties but don’t miss it at all now!!
