What seemingly popular things leave you scratching your head in bemusement?

What do others love that leave you cold?

For me candles. Don't see the point. Got some in case of a power cut, but I'd go for our torches first. Don't like the smelly ones, don't like the risk of fire, don't understand buying something just to burn it.

Also soap operas. Why watch miserable people shout at eachother in barely believable situations? Just go visit the in-laws house if you want that

How about you?

Candles/wax burners. Why burn stuff, that often you don't know what's inside, that's going to end up in your system? Fire risk too.. Uh I hate it!

All the ridiculous chef shows......

Small portions of art on a plate.... beautiful to look at but ONE crisp ? 3 pea pods....

No wonder i'm fat ... talk about portion size...... by the time they've played with it it's unrecognisable.

Sounds like where we live!! Our house needs work doing it. Financially we’d be better off moving to a new build - it’s crazy

You’re using your candles wrong.

For me its social media - instagram, facebook, twitter etc.

Your life is boring so why document it in photos, no one gives a fuck that you checked into lidls and lastly James Blunt won twitter years ago so just give up.

Slouch socks worn over leggings/jogging bottoms - this look is very 90s revival for me reminds me of my P.E kit!

Huge nails that look like you would cause yourself an injury whilst having a lady wank.

Balenciaga trainers - £700 to look like your wearing a brick for a shoe.

Population shift has been about for decades, in the 1970s I was building and selling new 3 bed Detatched Houses for £3250 in the East Midlands, 60% were bought by Londoners who having sold an old inner terraced house in London were able to buy our houses outright.

Backwards caps. You wouldn’t wear your trousers backwards so why do it with a cap?

"Backwards caps. You wouldn’t wear your trousers backwards so why do it with a cap? "

Because backwards pants are not practical, nor do they tend to fit very well especially when it comes to jeans.

Caps you don't always need the visor at the front but still need the hat, or the visor to protect the back of your neck from the sun. Saves taking 2 hats with you.

Fair enough but I once saw a man with his cap on backwards, his sunglasses around his neck using his hand to shield his eyes. Make it make sense.

In my old flat I had a transfer above the bed that read Laugh, Love, Leave.

Nobody ever read it so they just assumed what it said.

When I moved I couldn't peel it off the wall in one piece and ended up shredding it. It was a shame, but it would look mad in my current flat anyway.
