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?!

Does anyone like carpets in bathrooms? I've never seen the logic in that.

Those dancing dog acts on BGT that everyone seems to love. So shit and boring!

How about excessively negative people?

Raw tomatoes. Fine cooked in things but the slimy seedy bits 🤮🤮🤮

The Green Roasting Tin cookbook. Always recommended on here when someone wants to try eating less meat. Of the 30 or so vegetarian cookbooks I've owned, it's been the most disappointing by far.

So many interesting aversions!

For me it's football (players are such entitled wimps, in general) and football fans (drunk, violent, aggressive). No patience with any of it.

Ed Sheeran and Coldplay doing a duet together.

Except that BTS/Coldplay collaboration. That one is good.

Lol! That really got me! I feel like that sometimes

Salted caramel anything.

XelaM · 14/10/2022 13:25

A few things to add...

Stand-up comedy and any comedians. Absolutely hate them and have never ever found a single one funny.

Pod casts. So boring. I don't see the appeal at all.

Yes, those too.
