Things everyone loves but you hate! #7

[GamerLlama87]

Lilo and Stitch! Why is the merch still literally EVERYWHERE. I mean it's more prominent than fucking Mickey Mouse as Disney stuff goes?! The fans are always those weirdos that are far too into Disney for an adult too. I'm 36 years old, I don't want to have to sift through racks of clothes with that stupid little blue prick plastered on them when I'm shopping

New Year’s Eve

 

[Lazarus]

Adopting dogs from overseas when there’s literally dog shelters here bursting at the seams.

 

[Lazarus]

Drag shows, drag makeup, the whole fucking thing.
I would love someone to explain to me how a man impersonating a woman (to the extreme) is funny - and also, how it differs from blackface, for example.

 

[Daffodils_androses]

Labubu dolls. I keep seeing them advertised everywhere now and people posing with them.

Ugly fucking things.

 

[EleanorRigby]

Baby showers, Halloween, Black Friday, prom, spring break ….. all American traditions creeping in.

And graduation ceremonies for nursery school kids... In my day "graduation" was for when you actually graduated with an actual degree. Not for having attended a nursery and gained no qualifications whatsoever.

Beyoncé

I hate panelling on walls...maybe I'm extremely lazy but isn't it enough to have to dust your skirting boards, but no, you just stick a huge skirting board on your wall instead.

What is this "dusting skirting boards" of which you speak?

 

[charlied0106]

Drag Queens.

 

[lilyannrose]

Fireworks.

I like professional, organised displays but I can't believe in a country so obsessed with health and safety, every Tom, Dick and Harry can buy them and set them off whenever. To me that seems bonkers.

Fucking Glastonbury - what a load of middle class entitled bollocks. I'm old and it's never been any different

I hate when you're getting off a plane and people have left so their rubbish all over the floor and in their seats so it looks as if it's the aftermath of some kind of disaster. How hard is it to put your rubbish in the bag that they bring along during the flight, or even better, take it with you? I've honestly seen tidier nurseries at the end of a 10 hour shift than I've seen tidy aeroplanes after a 2 hour flight!

Leaving a recent flight I noticed someone's iPad poking out of the seat-back pocket as I passed, but they'd also ground a load of crisps and discarded sandwich innards into the floor and left their food packaging jammed between the seats and on the floor too so I said nothing. Fuckers.

Remakes of films we've already seen. I don't get the hype when we already know the story. Plus it's boring and lacks originality but the top films from last year were all remakes so everyone else seems to love them I guess.

 

[Starlight_100]

Autumn decorations. Decorating for Autumn has always been an American thing as they have Thanksgiving as an Autumn holiday and make more of big deal of Halloween. I just think it's yet another thing that shops want us to spend money on and it's pointless.

 

[EleanorRigby]

I agree, plus drag routines always include disgusting "jokes" about women's bodies and women's sexual activity under the guise of the impersonation and "oh I'm a gay man maligned by society so I can malign others".

They weren't back in the day. Mainstream drag acts like Danny La Rue and Lily Savage's humour didn't stem from misogyny. This modern version of drag is very different. It's notable that Paul O'Grady couldn't stand RuPaul because of how he'd changed drag for the worse.

 

[MrsSlocombe]

Lord of the Rings - both book and film form - long, boring, tedious, and very overrated.

 

[EvilJigglypuff]

Hen nights/weekends

They’ve got so out of control that I don’t want to celebrate with people anymore whatever happened to a night down the pub with your friends? What’s expected of people now is insanity - 3/4 nights abroad, taking annual leave, arranging childcare, specific outfit requests, military itineraries packed with expensive activities, maid of honour that’s an insufferable bitch, it’s horrible - then you’re expected to chip in for the bride too. Count me out - but you’re made to feel like a cunt for saying no.

Another thing we can put down to social media and keeping up with the Joneses

 

[petitspois]

Crowd funders. I increasingly see people raise money for funerals or travel home after a medical incident on holiday without insurance. I'm not a cold hearted weirdo, I get that there are some unusual situations sometimes but I find it really distasteful.

 

[Sour Pickle]

Brioche - especially as a burger or hot dog roll. Awful weird, sweet bread that feels like it would outlast an apocalypse.
