Things you should enjoy but don’t

New years eve.
It's supposed to be something to celebrate but it happens every year regardless so what exactly can you celebrate? Unless it was a really good year in which case next year will presumably be worse.
People jumping up and down in delight that 23:59 is followed by midnight. As if there was some doubt in the matter.
Another year older, another year closer to death.
I'd rather have an early night.

Absolutely. It's supposed to be something to celebrate but it happens every year regardless so what exactly can you celebrate? Unless it was a really good year in which case next year will presumably be worse.

I don't drink so I have to put up with people acting like idiots, get force fed "party" food which gives me bloody heartburn, join in a celebration I have no interest in and pretend to actually like the people there as well, not to mention the pleasure of running them all home afterwards. NYE can go fk itself. This year I've volunteered to work overtime as part of the skeleton crew, it is one of the few times I'd prefer to be at work than at home.

Dancing to non-dance music.
So much this.My misses, and my parents and all their friends think it entirely normal that if music is playing in a "party" situation of any kind, then one MUST enjoy having a dance to it.
I used to dance all night to techno, jungle/dnb, etc... but I simply cannot fathom how you are supposed to dance to "Fireworks" by Katy Perry or some such nonsense.
in fact, last time I was out, my misses and her mates were dancing to "Sweet Child 'o' Mine" FFS... not only can I not see how that's enjoyable, frankly I can't see how it's even possible!

Fun.
When something is sold to me as "It'll be fun" it never is. Fun is only ever derived from unexpected sources. Anything that comes with a prediction of fun, I avoid like the plague.
So true. "Fun run". If it was fun, you wouldn't need to put "fun" in front of it.When something is sold to me as "It'll be fun" it never is. Fun is only ever derived from unexpected sources. Anything that comes with a prediction of fun, I avoid like the plague.
