Lip filler. Football.

Davespecifico · 03/01/2021 20:31

Egg Nog and other egg based drinks. I imagine sweet snot or strings of egg like you get when you’ve just cracked an egg. On that theme: soft meringue.
Enforced humour by humourless people e.g. on Red Nose Day.
Centerparcs
Swimming with the dolphins in Florida
Marshmallows
Musicals
Halloween hype
Fleabag
Glamping - an excuse for cheapskates to rip you off.

@hansgrueber

Definitely agree with your grandmother and was told at school it was unacceptable.

I always pack a lunch or bring a thermos for the car if we are on a journey anyway (not currently)😊

Australia. I just don’t see the appeal. I’m sure it’s lovely and I’m not bothered by the host of animals that are capable of finishing you off (kangaroos are ripped!) but I’ve never come across anything that’s made me add it to my bucket list despite the glowing recommendations of friends who’ve travelled there.

White wine/Prosecco/champagne - personal taste obviously but I have no love for any of them. When I was pregnant a friend got me a small glass of Prosecco to join in with some celebrations - I was gutted I’d wasted a sneaky little drink on the stuff! I wanted a little Rioja!

LoudBatPerson · 03/01/2021 20:47

Beach holidays
Fake eyelashes
Fillers
Resort hotel holidays
Botox
Soaps
Reality TV

^i am realising I dislike quite a lot!

YakkityYakYakYak · 03/01/2021 20:51

Pubs/bars/clubs - I just want to cry with boredom whenever I find myself in one of these places, just a load of drunk people talking rubbish and shouting over each other.

FangsForTheMemory · 03/01/2021 20:53

Tattoos, nail and hair extensions, plastic surgery for purely aesthetic reasons.
