The people of Reddit are bonding over things they hate, but for some unknown reason, they claim to love. A thread in the “Ask Reddit” forum has gone viral after asking, ‘What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy?”
Many people have opinions on this topic and from the more than 21-thousand responses, these are some of the best:
- “Having constant drama at work, in friend groups, and elsewhere really can't be all that exciting... can it?”
- “Bars and restaurants with loud music and terrible acoustics. What’s the point in being social in a place where they’re trying to make it hard for you to socialize?”
- “LinkedIn.”
- “Your boss’s jokes.”
- “Podcasts where the hosts just laugh at everything they/other hosts/guests say. Nothing is that funny for that long, dude.”
- “Trying to make everything Instagram ready.”

- “Live action remakes”
- “Maintaining their jobs as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram personalities.”
- “American talent shows like quite literally ‘America’s got talent.’ and ‘American Idol.’”
- “3 hour long church services. Jesus gave the sermon on the mound in like 5 minutes. Get over your ego pastor!”
- “That nasty fermented shark they eat over in Iceland.”
- “Anything that requires an insane amount of waiting in line. Amusement parks, brunches at fancy places, night clubs, etc. Like, you're engaging in a barrier to make the ‘thing’ you want seem worthwhile.”
- “Playing tag with a four year old. You have to let them win all the time to not make them cry. You have to run really slow and you have to look like you're enjoying it.”
- “Baby showers/reveal parties”
- “Having a job”
- “Going to a children's performance, especially if their own kids aren't currently on stage”
- “Those big spider-leg eyelashes they pay for and put on.”
