We all have our guilty pleasures, but what are the things that people pretend to enjoy?
A user asked the forum, What are you convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? Here are the common responses.
JOBS THEY GET THROUGH THEIR DEGREE
“The jobs they went to college for.”
GOING TO ZOOS
“Zoos. Would anyone trade places with those caged animals? No. Then how can you enjoy that? I’m not against natural history museums (taxidermied animals).”
PARENTHOOD
“Parenthood. 99% of the time, when I see parents out in public, they look miserable.”
PROTESTING
“Protesting, too many people just blindly follow their friends and favorite communities. They don’t do their own research or actually care about what they are protesting for; it’s just a way to fit into the crowd.”
PLAIN YOGURT
“Eating plain yogurt and saying it tastes good.”
SOCIAL MEDIA
“Performing for Social Media.”
ALCOHOL
“Alcohol. Beer tastes like moldy, liquor tastes like just straight alcohol, so it gets mixed with better-tasting stuff, and wine is vinegar with alcohol in it. People enjoy the buzz, but enjoying the actual drink is a farce.”
RAP MUSIC
“Rap crap music, ’cause it truly is annoying & not entertaining.”
GREETING CARD
“Greeting cards. I hate them. Someone gives me a greeting card, and I pretend to be happy, but it’s just something else I have to throw away after someone spent $3 or more buying it for me.”
WATCHING FOOTBALL
“Football (soccer). And I’m not just convinced. It’s been studied that men watch it because it’s expected that men like football.”
EATING DARK CHOCOLATE
“Dark chocolate. It tastes bad, and I feel like everyone pretends it’s good because they want to feel cool.”
DRINKING PRIME
“Prime. I refused to buy my son one cause it seemed like a ridiculous hype thing. One of his friends bought him and some others a bottle each—the newer ice pop one.
My son was so excited. He had a few sips and then held it for the rest of the evening. No more was drunk. It’s been on the side all week. He said he liked it. I smelt it, and it’s the most sickly sweet thing I’ve smelt for a while. I’ll leave it in the side and see what happens.”
LIVE CONCERTS
“Live concerts.
No thanks, I’ll stay home and listen to a recording. The sound is better. It is cheaper. I don’t have to worry about transportation or parking. I don’t have to deal with many stupids around me standing, singing, being drunk.”
BOSS JOKES
“Laughing for your boss’s jokes.”
GOING TO BEACH
“Also, going to the beach.
I am a very high-energy outdoorsy; I hate being at home kinda person, and even I can’t be at the beach for more than 3 hours MAX.
I have 0 interest in spending all day AT A BEACH. 2 hours sounds good, with a beer, good food, and a short drive back home. Anything more than that, and I need to mentally recover for the next week.’
