David Beckham. He looks like he should be working on the dodgems at the local fair

Tom Hardy. So average!

Christmas dinner. Bland meat, smelly veg and only ever so slightly redeemed by pigs in blankets and cranberry sauce.

Restaurants that serve me food on something that's not a plate. I once had a chickens and leek pie in a mess tin FFS.

Camping. Trips away and holidays are supposed to be enjoyable, what is fun about sweeping bugs out your home in a morning and freezing half to death on a night

Wine and coffee - both taste vile to me.

Fed up of all the gin snobbery, just give me drink in a glass I don't give a fuck if it's elderflower and rhubarb flavoured.

People who must tell Facebook and Instagram when their kid is sick: 'just at A&E with Tom he's got a right bump on his head' WHO THE FUCK EVEN CARES

Mime. Ugh.
Christmas markets - my city is unbearable at this time of year because of the tat sheds.
Jeans that aren't actually made of proper denim and are thin and rubbish but really expensive.
Jeans in a horrible 80s shade and finish or with completely ripped knees, meaning you end up with a semi-detached lower leg after one foot slip putting them on.
Jeans with a massive, long zip area, accentuating my paunch and somehow simultaneously giving me camel toe.
Jeans that are supposed to be skinny but actually make it look like you're carrying a load of loose potatoes round your bum, thighs and knees after 1 hour of wearing them.
Jeans that are cut for a body shape I will never understand.
And lots of other jeans.
I can't find a good pair at the moment Sad

Anyway ( rubs thighs) here's my list - most already mentioned I think:

Christmas
Children and babies

Harry Potter
Food served on anything other than a plate
Waiting staff who tell me to 'enjoy'
Loud music in restaurants
'Sides' 'Slaw' - in fact most menu wankery
The fashion singular ' a glossy lip' ' a burgundy pant' 'pant'
Piece- referring to an item of clothing
Curated
SUVs
Modern cinemas and all mainstream films
Disney industry
Skiing, skating
Cruising. I'd end up jumping over the side.
Las Vegas

There is much much more, but better go and lie down! Grin

I actually like Christmas within strict parameters. First one being it's to be "a thing" in December. Not November.

RedRoseReb · 28/11/2018 15:21

Modern films hear, hear.

Getting pissed aka "unwinding" every day after work

Taking selfies and making everyone look at them by means of social media

Stupid photo filters

I also don't understand people who yearn to be coupled up. Such a faff!
