“Golf”: 30 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes, They Just Pretend To

Isn't happy birthday just an un-skipable add in real life?

Unfortunately, that's very difficult. Based on my own personal experiences, my best jobs came from personal connections.

Mandatory fun!

NASCAR is actually very enjoyable to watch- if you know how it works and what is going on. If you are unaware of the rules and technical aspect (high speed driving, pit stops and everything else) then I can see how it appears boring. I felt that same way until I learned.

Yes!! Best decision of my life when I quit 14 years ago!

New Year's in general.

That second sentence! 🤣🤣🤣 I am going to use that one day!

Why do people insist on going to bad, overpriced bars that plays s****y music? I've been to plenty of bars that were really nice.

Another American tradition that Brits have adopted, along with school proms and Black Friday. 🙄

But, please. I honestly would enjoy hearing about your pets. :)

Nightmare fuel

Never used it. Never will.

"God is everywhere." Except on Sunday mornings, where He can apparently only be found in certain select locations.

I've only done a couple, but I like the fact you wake up in a new place every day without the effort of travelling. We never had any issues finding quiet spaces to ourselves.

I like running through a town or the countryside an awful lot more than staring at the same four walls in a gym.

If you're a smoker chances are your taste buds do not work as well. I'm no expert but I've been to wine tastings and although I can't taste everything, some things are really distinct.

LinkedIn is basically an online asylum for the extra pretentious these days.

Agreed!

As a man, I never understood the appeal. I've gone about 3-4 times, mostly as part of a bachelor party. The only thing that it was good for was to help you identify the real creeps in your group of friends.

Clubs, I grant you, but concerts are things you go to to listen to the music, not to chat with your mates.

If you're aching and feeling nauseous you're doing something wrong....

Pretty sure not even the people who record these actually watch them. So they don't enjoy the concert fully coz they're too busy recording, and then not watch the recordings coz they're probably taking photos of their food or something :)

Depends on the parade. If people put time into floats, silly costumes and fun routines, then yeah, I'll go and pretend not to feel snubbed when they only throw candy at the kids, but if it's just a bunch of nobodys taking a stroll, then my interest is lost.

But if you're lucky, Crowley will give you real guns.

But that's often how you discover common interests.

That's actually one of the ways to make new friends when you're an adult with smaller kids. Might be akward at first, but if you invest, you might find chemistry to get new friends.

What ? You mean people pretend to like dancing ? Or like partying ?

Depends on the family I guess.

I miss working so much. I loved my job and it was devastating to have to quit for health reasons. I'd give anything to be back at it.

If it's miserable and boring, you shouldn't be there no matter how long or short it is.

I do not believe that anyone said that. Missed time with colleagues, perhaps, just like everyone in isolation, but no the commute itself.

Really? None of my colleagues said that, in fact it was the biggest complaint when we had start coming back in.

On behalf of all "essential" employees, we didn't miss you on our commute. It was glorious not dealing with rush hour traffic everyday. My commute time was cut in half for over a year.

I recently had to work abroad and hated commuting to the office there. My commute at home is a 15 minute walk.

that f*cking "Banana for scale" joke. UGH!

Ew. Well, not the waking part, but the getting up part. I often awake early, read for a bit, then go back to sleep til 10 or 11. Yes, retired.

I'm a Portlander. We love ipas here!

You didn't like it but you did it "loads"? Why?

Gender reveal parties.

Anyone who enjoys hating on something has a problem.

Lol😆

Not if you have it braised with bratwurst and garlic mashed potatoes!

Oooo nooooo 😭 I love watching holiday photos but nobody wants to anymore these days 😕 I love showing mine too btw

Or having it sang to you at work. So freaking awkward.

If you meet a vegan who does CrossFit, what do they tell you first?

Like you just did?

Do the hustle! 🕺🏼

Not true, but it's also not true that you have to pay an exorbitant amount of money for a really good wine. There are definitely terrible and substandard wines out there, but there are great ones which you can get for a very reasonable price.

Watching my son grow into a young man has been the greatest honour of my life. Parenting is hard, and it isn't for everyone and that's fine. I personally wouldn't have traded it for anything and the joy I've got from my son far outweighs all the bad times. That said, I am a member of the one and done club. 🤣

Going to the beach in the winter is more fun for me

Grew up playing that game!

Depends on the person hosting, some people really love hosting dinners/parties and some don't. 🤷‍♀️

everyone likes kids? Nah...

You mean cycling clubs, and I’d agree. They seem to take the fun out of it. A Sunday ride with your mates though, magic :) I love cycling.

Waw, it sucks so much to read this. Being a dad is by miles the single greatest thing of my life. Maybe when kids grow teenagers it start to suck more. But the 0-10Yo has been amazing for now.

Depends on the in-laws and what kind of relationship you have with them.

I'm not vegan myself, but i've met two kinds of vegans. The ones who made the decision to stop eating animal-derived foods for health/ethics or whatever other reason, genuinely experiment with it and come up with amazing recipes and ideas. Then there are the other ones who just jumped on a trend and are more concerned about guilting anyone who sniffs a bacon-flavoured potato chip and preaching their new-found ideals. From my experience, the former group really enjoy being vegan and are fun to be around. The second group give the first group a bad name :)

Whoa! Poor, dirty countries full of poor, dirty people who are too mentally inferior to practice food safety? Mm-hm, cause poor people are famous for letting food spoil or get contaminated, because there's always plenty more available for free. This post is offensive af. I've been to several "poor, dirty" countries and have never had a negative experience with food handling practices. OP needs to get over themself
