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

Coffee in the (roughly) thousand forms it comes in, and the people who moan because they want it hotter than the surface of the sun. I don't understand how people can want to drink something hot enough to burn. (One woman always used to stick her finger in her drink. ) Our new coffee machine won't heat the milk above 70°C and people say that's too cold! It's hot enough for me.

I accept that some of you think the comment is snobby, it wasn't intended as snobby and I said as much.

But those of you who've retorted that Nando's is CHEAP are spectacularly missing my point, both initially and follow up

I know many people for whom Nando's is EXPENSIVE and therefore either a huge treat or out of budget and so it is high end.

This just illustrates the lifestyle divide that exists on MN

I move in the circles that think Nando's is expensive so no I'm not a snob

And for what it is and the price it is it is overrated

Pets.

They just strike me as a lot of unnecessary work.

Elfinablender · 28/11/2018 14:11

I get why other people like them, but I have a hole in my heart where other people see furry cuddles and companionship and I only see a to-do list.
