Question in a pub quiz

[BritBratGrot]

Pub quiz recently, question was "We asked 100 people what would you NOT miss if you were stranded on a desert island alone - what were the 5 top answers? "

I will come back and share the answers as that's what the AIBU hinges on, but wanted to garner opinion on MN first.

I wouldn't miss my phone. It would be so liberating.

My housework is more of the blitz then wallow till next blitz variety rather than constant drudge so less likely to occur to me as something to not miss.

Housework would never occur to me, but it’s just my cat & me in a one-bedroom flat so housework is minimal, and cooking is completely on my own terms.

I’m not sure what my top 5 would be though.

I think after 100 days in the same seawater washed outfit, you'd feel a bit nostalgic for the laundry even.

Housework is a doddle if you have the time for it. Mind you on a desert island, you are going to spend most of your time fishing so it's a bit of a moot point.

Maybe housework was number 6. Plenty of people on this thread didn't mention it so it's not all that surprising it's not on the list. If you saw all the answers given and housework didn't feature at all I'd be shocked.

Alternatively people listed things like washing up, hoovering etc instead of just "housework".

Wouldn’t miss housework as I don’t do much of it.

Yes this could explain it.

I'm surprised friends or family weren't in the top five but maybe they come under "people".

I don’t do loads of housework and I’d assume the life on a desert island would be way more labour-intensive so it’s definitely not something I’d say! I’d think lugging firewood, fetching water, gutting fish and building a shelter would have me thinking longingly about sinks full of warm washing-up water and machine-washed clothes hanging on the line!

Maybe they only asked people who like their friends and family!

😂😂😂 I somehow flipped the question even though I had already answered about things I wouldn't miss. I'm going to make another coffee...

Right. Sounds like you were out with some misogynistic twats. Only worth an eyeroll mind 🙄

I wasn’t far off. Didn’t even think of housework!

People who can't read an OP properly.

Can you try reading the question again

It's a pub quiz, lighten up!

I suspect your answer is the sort of answer the OP is going to say is the point of this post

It looks like OP is using sock puppets?

All admin shit
Usernames
Passwords
Security questions/ codes
Shallow human beings

Pub quizzes with stupid questions would be my number 1.

She just correcting herself. OP to mean "my original post" rather than original poster because

And the NOT was in capital letters!

Clutter

EXACTLY!

Anyway...

1. People who play music in public;
2. Body maintenance which is aesthetic rather than for health and fitness reasons;
3. FOMO (which is sort of ironic, I guess);
4. Other people's smells;
5. Other people's noises (see also 1, above).
