Things/people you don't get the fuss over

[GunpowderGelatine]

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

Got beaten to stating babies and children, but yeah. Totally overrated.

Netflix, X Factor, “The Jungle” (people asking me if I’m watching “the jungle” drive me scatty and I think it makes them sound thick)

All the bashing of people like Holly Willougby, Meghan Markle etc..

Any filtered selfie on social media attracting, “omg hun...😍” comments when you know they’re dog rough in RL.

I don't understand people's love of Panto.

It maybe where my family work in theatre so for me, it's a period of the year where everyone is busy and is a general mess for us but even so, I don't get the appeal of spending so much money to watch awful actors who can't find any other work to twat about on stage in a show that is repeated in the exact same way every year.

I also don't get people who take soaps so seriously! It's as if they think Coronation Street and Walford are real places and these people exist somewhere.

I've been pulled up twice on my comment now so...

IN MY EXPERIENCE people who rave about Nando's don't venture out of chain restaurants

People may think that this statement is either snobby or ridiculous but it is purely based on actual conversation and relationships and not some preset judgement I landed upon one day to sound superior

I won't comment further

Why all fashion/instamum influencers want to wear exactly the same clothes

Zara (see above)

Bill's restaurant

Brownies (food not the kids )

People over the age of 13 getting excited / obsessed by Unicorns. Do not understand it.

Chart music - It's utter shite these days. Everyone is collaborating with everyone and everything sounds overproduced and autotuned.

Ed Sheeran and Anne-Marie - Boring and average singers.

Reality TV - Don't see the appeal of X Factor and I'm a Celebrity. I don't understand the popularity of scripted reality shows like TOWIE and Made in Chelsea. It's like watching bad acting about people's boring lives.

The Cult of Celebrity - Nobody is famous for being talented any more. Bit famous for getting their tits out, being involved in a scandal, shagging someone very good, or through appearing in reality TV. Then all the gossip mags dedicated to this tripe, I couldn't give a shiny shite what Kim Kardashian is wearing for brunch.

Chris Evans - He's become an egotistical gobshite. I just want to hear a track on full, stop talking over the singing!

Expensive sunglasses - Sunglasses get lost or broken all the time. At least mine do.

IKEA - My idea of hell. Having to walk on a specific and set route through the entire ship to get out, with people shuffling about like penguins.

iPhone - Had iPhones for 10 years, got sick of having to charge the bastard things 3-5 times a day and the crappy camera on them. It's emporer's new clothes syndrome. I'm now on Android.

Chinese food - Never had a really lovely Chinese. I've tried so many restaurants and gave up. Thai and Indian, I've eaten stunning food, Chinese... never.

Harry Potter: so true. I did enjoy reading the books with the kids ages ago but I've had family members take it to the extreme.

Just stop now.

Love Island - Bunch of fame-hungry, vacuous, preening clones. Turns my stomach.

"designer clothes" - all clothes, even the cheapest, are designed by someone

"architect designed house" - all houses, even on the largest developments full of identical / similar houses are designed by an architect, even if that design has been replicated up and down the country

Oh and thick black eyebrows that look like giant slugs

Loads of expensive cash sinks bore me:

Prosecco. Gin.

Apple (iWidget) products - pies and crumbles are excluded.

Airport lounges
Air travel

Tiny Cashmere jumpers

Cooking as an art form

Going to stay in villas or country cottages

Multiple bathrooms beyond any conceivably healthy need

Layers of decorative "bedding" encumbering my sleeping space.

Gin - however, good effort to whichever PR company managed to make it trendy again.

Johnny Depp - Not so much now, but everyone used to fawn over him, but I always think he looks in need of a good bath (and not a nice one, an industrial one!)

Named flooring: Amtico Karndean, i don't care - it's a floor.

Ellie Goulding
Ed Sheeran - both dull as dish water
Agree Beckham/Daniel Craig. Neither to anything for me.
Christmas bloody Markets. There's one on my city at the moment and it's so irritating. Just means town is too busy for residents to get anything done for 2 weeks. Its mainly stuff from local shops you're all paying well over the odds for.

Don’t like dogs

Prosecco. Like it's a fucking classy drink.

Cous cous.So shit they named it twice.
Prosecco
Bbq sauce
Sweet potatoes.Fucking vile

Sweet potatoes voguishness irritates me. The ones I see about have all been shipped in from the US.

White potatoes appear to belong to Satan right now. It's like eggs in the 80s. I think in 10 years or sooner health authorities will begging the population to reembrace the spud.

Poached eggs
Gin
People who take arty pictures of their poached eggs or avocado on toast and post them on social media. I don’t care!

Christmas markets (I like them in theory but in reality it’s spending hours squashed in a massive crowd, shuffling at snails pace past B&Q sheds selling burnt sausages and overpriced mulled wine in tiny cups)

I go to expensive restaurants a lot. I also go to Nandos. I'm not expecting a 5 star meal at nandos, I expect chicken and chips, it tastes good, kids love it,therefore I love it.
I only go to other restaurants when I'm on a date or with adults only.
Nobody expects Michelin star food at Nandos. And people DO know the difference between a chain and a high end restaurant.
Yes you are a snob.

Cocktails! They taste like fruit juice so you drink 5 of them in the time it takes to get through 2 glasses of wine and are expensive! So you end up broke and weirdly drunk all of a sudden.

Salmon and trout. Both taste like rivers.

Sweet chilli anything.

I like most things on this thread.

Idris Elba.
If he was your regular man next door women wouldn't swoon so much. He's not a great actor either.

Catherine Tate. She's the same whatever part she's playing.

Holly Willoughby. So bland.

Kale - avocados - haloumi can all get lost.

Strictly, X Factor,The Voice et al where the preening judges love themselves and its all about them really. They get an ongoing career whilst whoever wins show seems to drop off the edge of the earth after a short while. Tedious.

8 pages in and I can't believe that nobody has uttered these three words-

Soap and Glory

Horrible stuff!
