En suites. So there's an advantage of privacy but I never want to be 1 foot away from exh having a shit ever again. 🤮

I agree wholeheartedly with PP that said cruises. Honestly I rather die.
I hate apple products and people obsessed with getting the new iPhone. 🐑

@nevernotstruggling oh yeah, they are a bit grim. There should be a law enacted against shitting in them at the very least.

Hard flooring anywhere but bathrooms and kitchens. It's cold, and you will get old and break your hip on those glossy wooden atrocities. Get some nice carpet down, you silly goose.

Proper pizza. I make a lovely home made pizza at home, with lots of toppings and nice strong cheddar on top. Much nicer than sparse shavings of whatever you wanted covered in cheesy chewing gum.

Big cup cakes. So much work has gone into making them pretty, I'm fooled into thinking one day I'll come across one that tastes of something other than sugar, but that day eludes me still.

Wow I agree with so many people and always hid my dislike of these popular things because I didn't want to seem contrary!

Foreign holidays for the sake of it
Expensive handbags
Fake tan, fake nails
High heels
Making face look thin with makeup instead of nice rosy healthy chubby cheeks
Cars
Driving
Suburbs
Cake- such effort and a kitkat is nicer

The cult of celebrity
Facebook

Thedogscollar · 03/01/2021 23:15

Facebook with bells on. Never have never will.
All I've ever seen on here is people moaning about what people post on it and at work saw a colleague dismissed for posting confidential info on it.

Thedogscollar · 03/01/2021 23:17

Oh and Boyox too. Makes you look permanently surprised or frozen.
Lip fillers like Daffy duck

"How men are" since I've only ever been in same sex relationships lol 😆

MissJeanLouise · 03/01/2021 23:23

@gloomyglummer
Manicures. I've done it once to be a bridesmaid and the cuticle stripping was a form of torture.
I love manicures, although I can rarely justify the expense. I feel exactly like that about eyebrow plucking though - had it done once for my wedding 20-odd years ago, never again!

Holidays to all inclusive Spanish resorts in Benidorm. Omg, no thanks.

Football: no, I will not support the noise, pissed up assholes and hooliganism and the fact that it isn’t safe to walk round my town because there’s a match. FUCK OFF.

Pandora jewellery: I find it common and ugly.

Yy to small talk. It's constant repetition of the same information isn't it?
