Things we do, that are better when they are over ?
Discussion
What things do we do that the main enjoyment is when it is over ?
Camping, realistically, it is horrible but it makes you appreciate your house and comforts when you get back.
Nightclubs, truly awful, spending vast wads of cash on booze and entry, cant hear, all in the hope you will "pull".
Running, especially marathons, does anyone really enjoy that (that isnt weird) ?
Sure there are many others.

I'm no grump and enjoy a small gathering but realistically its much better when it's over and you get going into the new year.
Always found NYE to be an anti climax.
Ha, you guys. 
Now, I've camped, and run marathons, been on roller coasters (only little ones) even been to the dentist. I've never done a parachute jump,or a bungee jump.
But most fun when it's over. Hard rock climbing.
Pushing yourself to near the point you are falling off, and conquering both the fear of falling,and the falling itself. Completion on this is a whole different world to those things mentioned, and will leave one, both exhausted and exhilarated in equal measure.

You're almost certainly doing it wrong then! The main reasons why people think camping is horrible is because -
A) They've got s
te gearB) They've got the wrong gear for the environment and conditions
C) They haven't a clue how to do it properly
or D) all of the above

Parachuting. Bungee jumping.
People claim to enjoy these activities, but in reality, they enjoy the adrenaline rush they get when they realise they aren't dead.
Unless they are dead.

My 75 year old dad has been parachuting for 35 years and holds world records in the sport, I think he enjoys it.People claim to enjoy these activities, but in reality, they enjoy the adrenaline rush they get when they realise they aren't dead.
