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?!

It’s sexist, homophobic, and all the jokes about when Monica was fat are just cruel.

Isn't it more that it just isn't remotely funny or entertaining in any way?

Pandora jewellery.

Several friends wear it, I just don’t get the love.

I think it's horrible stuff.

‘This is us’ don’t like girly trash in general, just my opinion

I can't stamd the Pride of Britain Awards. The crying, the celebrities queuing up to have their photos taken with little Jonny in a wheelchair, Carol Vordeman. I jusr really really really can't stand it.

What you would rather members of the public didn't get awarded for acts of bravery and raising money for charity.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Utterly creepy.

Gender Reveal
Baby showers

Thank god they didnt exist when my DC were on their way. Grabby nonsense.

Wearing trainers with dresses and skirts

Sourdough bread. It's too dense, almost inedible unless you toast it, and goes stale faster than a Liz Truss u-turn.

I'm guilty of doing this on the way to and from work 😅

😂 oh I completely agree. God even hearing the theme tune sets my teeth on edge…

A small person, can cast a very large shadow.

That said, I like the borgias, which is similar

hugefanofcheese · 16/10/2022 22:43

Dogs, Beyonce, Adele, milk chocolate. Spa weekends, Friends (the programme. My actual mates are ok),

Bloody enormous cars!! Cars are massive now why do you need one so big? Annoys me that my view of the road ahead is completely occluded because people feel the need to take up as much space as possible! (And your car takes up 110% of the parking space logistical nightmare!) 🙄🤣🤣 (are u not tired of the fuel costs?)

AntiqueFlowerRing · 17/10/2022 06:59

Cats. Just yuck.

Children.

FennelAndOnions · 17/10/2022 07:23

Gin
Coffee

The expectation that I’m supposed to like both and the shock when I don’t. It’s weird.

if you’re talking about suvs, my dh calls them “fat cars”. Living in a town built for horses and pedestrians, they are the bane of his life.

Soaps
Reality TV
Small talk
Going to the hairdresser's

Seasonal items. Eg a pumpkin shaped casserole dish. A Christmas tea pot. An Easter door mat. Etc. Basically everyday items but you can only use them at a certain time of year, rest of the time they're cluttering up your house. Consumerism at its finest! 🙄 People seem to love the idea though.

Halloween and anything to do with it.
The idea of living by the sea, no thank you.

Halloween 🎃 can take a flying jump as far as I'm concerned! I'm just relieved my kids are now too old to care about trick or treating as well 🍾👏
