Aibu to start a thread about popular things that you just don’t get!

( this is meant to light-hearted and I appreciate everyone has different opinions)

Avocado.
Hummus.
Nando's.
Mulled wine.
Trout pouts.
Big eyebrows.
Bum implants.
Candles.
Tennis.

jaffa cakes. Awful texture and awful flavours.

I had one yesterday for the first time in almost 30 yrs - almost unrecognisable from my memory of them. Every bit of the flavour was different and likewise the textures.

In line with so many PP, glitter; the normalisation of excess alcohol consumption; the normalisation of stress levels to the point where drivers near to me regularly drive on the wrong side of the road and dangerously and make it difficult to cross the road in broad daylight (as well as for other drivers).

Skiing - why would you pay to go somewhere colder than the U.K. 🥶

Spas - paying to have someone touch me, the thought of it makes
me feel sick!

Coldplay - early stuff was better

Range rovers when you drive from your townhouse to the local school and nowhere else.

Grey grey grey interiors, give me some colour and personality

Pugs..cute but their poor airways.
I'm a Celebity...i will say it again...it's animal abuse.
Fairground rides...hate them
Elf on the frickin shelf...nope
Christmas eve boxes..

Labradors

2nd hand clothes - the thought of wearing trousers that have been on someone else’s crotch makes me want to vom.

Friends (TV show) - it’s a poor mans Seinfeld

High heels - they’re uncomfortable and difficult to walk in and as I’m already teller than most men they make me look like a giant.

Unicorns and sequins

Went shopping fir a new school bag with dd(7) today. We went to Smiggle. Neither of us was very impressed. DD said “I don’t really understand why there are unicorns on everything”. Nor do I!

The "GC" I cannot stand her

My little son was reading over my shoulder and said ‘mummy she looks like you’

Smart homes. I just want to come into my home, switch a light on and make a cup of tea. I don't want to have to have to deal with a computer or talk to a robot before I get my tea. I don't want one glitch or hack to mean my heating won't turn off and I don't want my fridge to do my shopping for me.
MP3s. They sound shit.
The way lightbulbs are ridiculously over complicated these days. Just went to homebase and the lightbulb aisle was full of people staring blankly at lumens and wattage equivalencies and trying to pretend they weren't completely befuddled. A lightbulb is not something you want to have to figure out like a quadratic equation FFS.

The phrase “living my best life” fucking can’t stand it.
Any singing tv contest, apart from Eurovision which is hillarious 🤣

Nobody likes Mrs Brown's Boys.

Surely.

It must be some sort of 'in joke' at the BBC.

Please?

Kardashians-skanks, should be banned.
Huge arses-just looks shit, my aim is a smaller arse!
Chavvy decals on walls in houses. Euw.
Massive fake nails, you’re gonna have someone’s eye out!
Snapchat filters. Grow the fuck up, you’re not 12.

Oh dear, vicious rant there, sorry!
