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?!

Mobile phones, yes they are occasionally useful, like that apple corer I bought from Ikea.

Cats, pets other people let out to poo wherever they want and kill everything within strolling distance, or are kept in a weird half life that involves not killing stuff and pooing in plastic boxes. Either way they rule the world, the bastards Wink

All the chuffing spices, in little plastic pots that will vavavoom your meals, according to Waitrose, Cauliflower = cheese, end of !

Using end of to lose an argument Grin

The Royal Family
Haviana flip flops, identical to cheap ones.
Saltwater sandals- look awful
Oodies- cheaper versions are just as good.

I used to feel exactly the same about haviannas. I could not understand why someone would spend ten times more money on not very exciting looking flip flops. And then I bought some and will not wear anything else. I think it’s something to do with the sole. I can walk for miles in them. Because the sole is quite firm you don’t feel uneven ground, stones etc. I also suffer from planta fasciitis and Haviannas don’t cause me any pain.

Posting a message to your dead relative on social media. 'Love and miss you Uncle Simon, absolutely heartbroken without you but I'll be strong for granny and make you proud'.

I can't stand the dream Instagram/Tiktok big bum look. I'm perfectly happy with having a flat bum thank you very much.

I actually fucking hate walking. I take my dog out, and that is it. I only walk if I have a destination.
I can't listen to music or audiobooks, because any time a car goes past, I can't hear it anyway. That, and my area is dodgy so I want my wits about me.

A lot of literary classics.. bronte sisters Jane Austen sort of books, very boring and I’m convinced a lot of people lie about enjoying reading them for fun

namechangetheworld · 13/10/2022 23:57

I agree with you about dogs, although I don't think that's a hugely unpopular stance in real life, there's just a particularly high number of dog nutters on here.

Also, Breaking Bad.
