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?!

The greatest showman. Everything else I can accept. Not that. Not ever.

Going to restaurants to take photos of myself in the toilets (I’m looking at you The Ivy)

Anywhere that seems like it‘s just a background for Instagram snaps - pumpkin picking, lavender farms etc.

’Ditsy floral’ patterns

Perfume - I’m allergic to most of them and can’t bear the smell either.

Air fresheners/plug-ins - as above

Grey and silver decor (although I think that’s died a death now, thank god!)

Bubble Tea 🤢

Sushi - not because I’m terribly uncultured or squeamish about raw fish. It’s a temperature/texture thing.

Lip fillers

Celebrity culture

Tiktok

The Queen/Royals in general

Pointy shoes

Aperol

Gin. Yuk

Tea. Yuk

Strictly Come Dancing. overrated and boring.

Downton Abbey. overrated and boring

Drag artists. Outdated and offensive

Oodies. Ugly and overpriced.

Waitrose. Overpriced and overrated. (So is Marks and Spencers.)

Lord of the Rings saga. Lengthy, and tedious.

Cooking from scratch. Boring and unnecessary.

Diversity in everything, even when it doesn't belong/doesn't make sense. It's just naff box-ticking.

K-Pop, Adele, Lewis Capaldi. yawn

Salted caramel. Vile.

Marvel films. All the same and all a bit average.

Grime music. Crap.

Dogs. Used to love my dog when I lived with mum and dad. CBA with my own as an adult. Too needy, whiny, clingy, noisy, smelly, expensive to keep, and cost loads for the vet bills.

Prosecco. Fizzy piss.

Hairdressers. Overpriced and overrated and unnecessary - especially once you hit 40. It's actually SO easy to dye and trim your own hair.

Destination weddings. Pointless and pretentious.

Gender reveal parties. Naff and pathetic.

HAVE to disagree with FRIENDS. It's fucking brilliant. Always has been.

What the fuck is biscoff?

Woke "comedians". Fucking shite.

There are a few things - shellfish; camping holidays; gardening as an activity; high-heeled shoes- but most of all, my birthday! I don't need to have my transition to a new age treated as a social occasion1

MrsHughesPinny · 13/10/2022 23:04

Celebrity culture.
Crisps.
Either watching or playing team sports (love both watching and participating in solo things).
Children’s choirs or concerts—they make me want to fold myself up with embarrassment and post myself down the nearest drain.

Stumpedasatree · 13/10/2022 23:04

Theme parks and all inclusive holidays

Wishfulthinking1977 · 13/10/2022 23:05
