I’ll start… dogs 😬 Never goes down well & I think if I owned one I’d probably grow to love it but in my eyes they just smell and dribble and are annoying. How about you?!

Salted caramel
Biscoff
Summer
Any kind of board game
All of the ‘performance’ reality shows eg strictly, dancing on ice

I don’t know how controversial these things are but they are the first that come to mind!

Love island - it annoys me that when it’s on every conversation seems to revolve around what some pretty 20 year old shagged did.

Grey everything - it looks like a home bargains threw up your living room.

The greatest showman - shite

Theme parks - shite with long queues and too many people.

(Non sportswear) Leggings as trousers - baggy knees and a very visible pantyline is not a good look.

I probably have many more I’ve forgotten.

Mamma Mia
Drag Artists (just not funny…, actually quite insulting)
TikTok
Stupidly expensive stag & hen nights abroad with a fancy dress requirement or matching T shirts

(I actually love the Red Arrows 😀)

Oh here’s one.

Lying in the sun getting burnt. Isn’t it uncomfortable?

Alcohol.

Never seen Dirty Dancing or ET. And I'd like it to stay that way!

I used to work for a woman who started painting everything grey. And buying grey soft furnishings.

Painting over the lovely blue of her front door was the last straw.

Kisses on text messages. Completely unnecessary and also a bit strange. I'd never kiss someone after saying a sentence in real life so why is it expected in messages? Thankfully this seems to have died off a bit over the years and I don't know anyone who sends "X" after their message, unless they've just learnt to not do it to me but I'm happy with that 😂
