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

Tummelthecat · 29/11/2018 22:49

Rap.
Celery.
TV Quiz Shows where the contestants talk through why they have chosen whichever multiple choice answer they have gone for. SO tedious.
“And the person leaving us today is ..... “. Just tell us without the pregnant pause.
Donald Trump.

ElliePhillips · 29/11/2018 22:49

Tapas. It's shit. I hate sharing food. Just serve a proper adult meal. Can't stand it.

Emoconn · 29/11/2018 23:18

Classes for small babies
Expensive Make up palettes (I have loads and most are crap)
Holly W
Animal print clothes
Gin with stupid garnishes

browneyes77 · 29/11/2018 23:19

I’ve thought of some more overrated things in addition to my annoyance of Ed Sheeran and X factor:

Brad Pitt
Aldi
Lidl
Quiche
Mayonnaise

Kaybush · 29/11/2018 23:19

Definitely Holly Willoughby. When she got the M&S campaign it was like a bad virus had been let loose on a national institution.

GlitterPixie · 29/11/2018 23:25

Tom Hardy, Ant&Dec and Beyonce

GlitterPixie · 29/11/2018 23:27

And Game of Thrones. It’s an okay show but I’d often have it recorded on the planner for a week or two before getting around to it. I just don’t understand the absolute CULT of it Hmm

Anyat212 · 29/11/2018 23:32

Nando’s - honesty do not get it?
Pandora - over priced & everyone has the same items?!
Subway - too much pressure for my liking when ordering
Ed Sheeran/Adele/Mumford & sons - so over hyped
This new Sabrina show on Netflix - it’s very cringe
Kim k or any kardashians / Jenner’s - don’t get it they all annoy me
Kayne West - 🙈
Tomato sauce - hate the stuff
& quiche was a good shout PP it’s rank!

AlbaChick · 29/11/2018 23:51

Christmas Elf - I want to blow that little fecker into next Easter
Also The grown adults that post the shit about what he did,
Christmas pudding- sure tastes like it came from last Christmas
Chocolate or caramel with Salt! Willy Wonka must be whirling in his grave.
Twee programmes showing lovely, caring, happy families singing and holding hands around the Christmas tree/piano/table. Ours is more like Beirut meets Syria halfway through Christmad dinner 🤣 But Maybe that’s judt us
I love the lights, the tree and all the sparkly Christmas tat! And my choccy advent calendars 😊

AlexaAmbidextra · 30/11/2018 00:16

Holly Willoughby. She’s everywhere. Sick of the sight of her.

Girlicorne · 30/11/2018 00:18

Prosecco! Hate the stuff!

BruegelTheEIder · 30/11/2018 00:19

WTF is Elf on the Shelf? I just googled it and went on their website and still can't figure out what it is. Is it a toy?

VerbeenaBeeks · 30/11/2018 01:28

Elf on the shelf - basically a little elf doll that comes to stay for the duration of December and gets up to "mischief." Cue posts of kids coming downstairs to said elf who's caused havoc overnight, say been unrolling bog roll, making snow angels in talc etc..... freaky little things though lol.

BlimeyCalmDown · 30/11/2018 05:40

People who call other people Babe
Made in...... programmes
Rhiana

PeevedOfPortishead · 30/11/2018 06:25

As per PP people who use crappy swear words wankbadger/cuntpuffin/twunt - cringey and try-hard
Breastfeeding
Nando's - it's just chicken. Baffling.
Reality TV - TV in general. Haven't watched itv for 20 years.
Girl's night out - urgh
I had to Google Mrs hinch and I'm none the wiser - although her name seems to be associated with zoflora - stinky stuff in a tiny bottle.
Anyone over the age of 13 on Instagram
Fashion over style
Vegans
Celebrities proffering their political opinion
Anyone getting overly political on FB. I want to see your new rescue cat - but if I must unfriend you because you've demanded I do so because I voted a different way to you - so be it
Cocaine - you're not edgy. You're a 45 year old house wife from Essex and it might've entered the country up a peasant's bum-hole

haloumi · 30/11/2018 08:12

I came here thinking ...

"Jeez, What a miserable post" ..

But I agree with nearly every suggestion .....

I had a NANDOS once. ... ONCE .... I was expecting WOW... I got chicken and spicy sauce. ...... absolute trash.

RoboticSealpup · 30/11/2018 08:14

But why were your excpecting "wow"? Nandos is basically one step up from KFC.

Lenmaw · 30/11/2018 08:16

Someone stole my debit card and spent £80 using contactless (3 separate transactions) in Nando’s. I was livid, I hate the place.

Is it like Marmite? I know people for whom
It’s the grail.
