Weddings, I cannot understand how 2 people are willing to spend so much for a 1 day party. The idea of getting excited or stressed over colour schemes and table decorations just makes me 😂🤣

Drag- it’s usually always offensive with references to “fish” etc, it makes women a horrid stereotype and what is the talent even meant to be? Most drag performers sing like Mike Reid after smoking 50 a day and a whiskey gargle so they dont even sound nice - so I guess their “talent” is simply putting on women’s clothing?

Butlins. A damp mouldy chalet and forced fun whilst grown adults drunkenly cop off with the first person to show any interest, all to the back drop of 80s tribute “bands” and Jason Donovan.

Beer. Bitter and makes you gassy, bloated and for men they grow moobs.

Traditions. Or more specifically the obsession with following them. Eg. Everyone having turkey for Christmas dinner- why? Turkey is dry as fck and no one ever eats it the rest of the year but if you dare suggest eating anything else people act like you just suggested going on a murder spree!

Beach lovers.. I hate the beach. Moved from a seaside town and everyone comments whether I miss the beach. No I do not miss sand flying everywhere, freezing cold water and seaweed covering up a pool of mystery.

People having full fridges. What do you keep in there??? Other than cold meat, cheese, yogurt, butter, milk and veg (in the drawer) ours is empty! We have 2 shelves not in use, it’s a standard sized fridge, what the heck am I supposed to put in it to fill it up?!? (And does anyone know if you get a 30/70 fridge freezer? I can find 70/30 fridge freezers but not the other way around and I need the freezer space more than the fridge!)

Marriage.. I mean, I never have. I can understand, the once ,,, at a push,
But some people do it soooo many times! I have friends who've done it 3 or 4 times before they hit the age of 40!

Meowchickameowmeow · 03/01/2021 19:37

I think a lot of people just never clean out the stuff that's out of date and pile more stuff in front of it.
