I know its a bit of an odd thread. Bit negative, bit like my mood on a Monday morning.

What things in life that others seem to really appreciate are lost on you or seem strangely like a waste of money/time/oxygen :p ???

Don't get abusive or too political. Don't get offended. This is meant to be a bit tongue in cheek, i'm not this naive. I can appreciate others opinions and tastes. However i'm sure someone will throw their toys out of the pram.

Ill start with 'Expensive' Wrist watches.
Every facet of these machines, that were once pretty marvelous contraptions have been replicated, improved and can be reproduced for a minuscule cost. Why do people still get so excited by a device that who's sole purpose is utterly mundane in modern society. :p

Cars... I appreciate their role in a modern society :D but what is it that really matters from a car that does 70mph and gets you from A to B to a car that's has a bigger engine, uses more petrol, ultimately more dangerous to everyone because it could go at 200mph.

'Expensive' Restaurants - Pay a HUGE premium for for a tiny meal that ultimately is cooked by a guy on minimum wage in the name of a millionaire chef who is probably sat at home with his feet up. :D
 
Professional football.

Just don't understand the emotional attachment and the money involved?

I appreciate and enjoy the sport itself. But the rest of it blows my mind.
 
Celebrities and fame culture. I could stand next to someone famous and not be bothered about it at all. They are just people.
 
Watching team sports. I'm not playing, nobody I know is playing, so I don't care.

After shave = puff juice

Shopping as leisure

(I like all the things in the OP though ;))

Definitely agree with this, but I would like to extend it too all expensive jewellery.
 
Football.
Facebook likes.
Tinder matches.
Snapchat conversations.
Retweets on Twitter.
Celebrities.

I've seen girls brought to tears because her 'friend' got more tinder matches.
 
OP, reading your 3 things, you and I couldn't be more different :D

Team Sports i.e. football, rugby etc. Don't care.

Sitting in a pub "socialising". Why would I want to pay for the privilege when I can have people over and have a better time, or vice versa.

So with you on this one. And what annoys me most about these 'celebs' is the ones that say "do you not know who I am." I believe that we should be allowed to execute anyone who says this and not be punished in any way.

I also do not get Star Wars films.
 
I love cars and watches...

But i dislike (i would possibly say?) all sport, i dont get that at all. I will go to a basketball or baseball game while in the states for the atmosphere and event perhaps, but i wont know who is playing nor where they stand in their league. Within the UK i wouldnt even consider attending a sporting event.

I like Star Wars. Once watched each, that's enough for me. I was much more of an Indy fan :)

Celebs? smelebs. TBH I would love one to ask me if I know who they are because I would say "Oh yeah. You're that ** No disguised swearing ** who wastes space on my TV screen".

I tend to avoid reality TV and anything that contains celebs and just stick to docus, wildlife shows and so on. I have a bit of a fascination with serial killers so I tend to watch tons of that sort of stuff.

Now they're celebrities ! lmao you wouldn't need a serial killer to ask "Do you know who *I* am?"

:D
 
Cars for me,

I'll be honest I like to look of some Ferraris etc but when people spend £100/£1000s doing thing to them. My generation was the original Fast & Furious, car cruise, neon lighted generation but I never bothered to do mine up.

Was part of a pretty big car club. SHMCC, most people modified the cars, some to an extreme point. But me, never. I considered a "modification" as fitting a decent sound system.

As long as it has 4 wheels and gets me to work and back I don't care about what it looks like.

I feel that I should but I just can't get into it. Maybe it is because I have never been in a postion to own a "decent car". Never had a new car, had an almost (4 year old) car - that was nice enough.
