Things you should enjoy but don’t

[Dr Jekyll]

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.

Dancing to non-dance music.

Dancing, at all, to any music.

Just feels weird and alien to me, watching other people dance just makes me think this even more.

I just don't get it at all.

[Vocal Minority]

I'm the opposite really - dance music (indeed any of the stuff you mention) isn't my cuppa.

Not a big dancer. Into drunken sing songing at a gig....but not dancing

[Pistom]

All the above except cheese. I thought I was on my own about the other stuff.

I'm also not keen on people admiring my stuff like cars, houses and cats.

Yes, I know they are nice, that's why I have them.

Absolutely.

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.

Films. Really can't be arsed sitting through most of them.

why is that something you should enjoy? ive never heard a single person ever say 'ohh i had a nice commute to work on the tube'

Traditional Sunday roast dinner - nice to get the family get together, but I can't be arsed with the amount of preparation, the juggling to keep everything warm, and the volume of dishes and pots/pans that need to be cleared up after.

Bah!

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!

Ugh. I don't think I can get drunk enough to dance to anything that isn't the sort of stuff you used to dance to. I mean, I could get more drunk but then I'd pass out.

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.

At least you don’t dislike whisky. Hope for you yet.

I agree with absolutely everything you've both said.

Women. I like them as a concept but in reality, they're just snakes with tits.
