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?!

Another top vote for grief vampirism. Including - no especially - over the Queen and particularly Diana.
The monarchy and the whole out-of-date UK constitution.
Working Title Movies. Every last one of them. The tokenism and/or sheer schmaltz is nauseating.
Ditto 'Bridget Jones'.
D H Lawrence. The dialogue is excruciating. No one talks to each other like that.
Voting, in any context other than political elections or union ballots.
'Gender'. The whole bloody shitshow has caused me as a woman nothing but trouble.

Most of these I can take or leave, but I definitely agree about DH Lawrence.

Hate:
Cream of any sort
Pasta
Pret & Costa coffee
Thai takeaway
Dolphins
Pornstar Martini’s
Music by George Ezra (though he seems like an absolute sweetheart)
I thought detecetorists was painfully boring and I’ve never found Brad Pitt attractive

Diana.
I dislike whoever named her the People’s Princess even more.

After dinner mints 🤮

You’ve gone too far.
After dinner mints are the best bit about dinner!

Adults who love Disney stuff and merchandise more than kids do.

I agree with dogs apart from small fluffy ones that are basically rabbit equivalents.

The programme ‘This is Us’

Trash like ‘I’m a celebrity’ it’s so boring I can’t fathom watching an entire episode of these egocentric twats rabbiting on

Woahtherehoney · 17/11/2022 07:15

Ant and Dec
Beyonce’s music
Dr Pepper

Do you like Thai food if you eat it in a restaurant or cook it yourself?

Pebbledashery · 17/11/2022 19:15

The great British bake off or whatever it’s called. I’ve never got through a whole episode. 😂

soulinablackberrypie · 17/11/2022 20:55

Cream
Whisky
Lager
Chocolate cake (I quite like chocolate itself, but it's not one of my main weaknesses)
Most "reality" programmes (I liked Castaway 2000)
Superhero programmes and films
Holidays where you just lie around sunbathing most of the time

They're creepy IMO, same as the Harry Potter fans proudly declaring what house they're in. It's aimed at children, it's for children! You can like it (I like some cartoons, regular show is great) but being obsessed is just weird

Camilla. Everyone seems to have forgotten what a vile person she is. And now she’s going to be Queen. Disgusting.
