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?!

Painted nails.

Dogs.

Celebrity culture - gossip magazines, talking about celebrities, who is dating who etc. Just don't get it. I don't know them, I really don't care what they wear/name their children/if their weight has changed.

I don’t like dogs either.

Love Island
Naked Attraction
(Any reality TV tbqh)

Nail salons, just what is the point. Total waste of money imo.

Oh and getting nails done. Just not important to me - I don't notice it on other people and I don't care

Yepp agreed, so glad someone else finds it pointless too!

Big outpourings of grief about 'SUCH a big part of my childhood', 'DEVASTATED' whenever some celeb dies that no one's even thought about for decades. It all seems so insincere.

100% with you on this one! And they always begin by hollering, "Oh no! I can't believe it! X has died! Oh no! That's so sad!" about someone in their 80s or 90s who they have never met, who they have not seen in the public eye for 30 plus years, and whose existance they had completely forgotten till they saw the announcement on Twitter.

Fake eyelashes. They make me think of enormous horse lashes

LearnerCook · 14/10/2022 05:43

Tea & coffee. People look at ne like I've got 2 heads when I tell them.

Cats & dogs, too. Smelly, dropping for everywhere. Ugh!

The Beatles. They seem to be worshipped but I don't get it.

any play/musical

Ritascornershop · 14/10/2022 05:55

Dogs. I know most of them are full of good intentions and bring people happiness, but they smell and I don’t want them jumping on me, licking me, sticking their noses in my nether regions, or having to touch them at all really.

Also I dislike summer. Over 19 and I’m sweaty and uncomfortable. The light is piercing and endless and I am so pleased that it’s dark earlier now and am looking forward to lots of refreshing rain.

cacchidevilfruit · 14/10/2022 06:15

Drinking any fluids- Obviously I have to, but literally never feel thirsty below a temperature of 38, so mostly drinking is a necessary chore!

Mummadeze · 14/10/2022 06:16

Games of Thrones. Any superhero movie. Bread.
