"I Absolutely Despise It": People Are Exposing Overrated Things They're Sick of Hearing Are Fantastic.

There are countless things that fail to live up to the hype, no matter how often people insist otherwise. Recently, a Reddit user asked the r/AskReddit community to share what theyre tired of being told is wonderful. Here are some of the most controversial responses.

1. Turning Hobbies Into Work

"I crochet for relaxation. Turning it into a business with pricing, deadlines, and customer complaints completely kills the joy. A blanket could take me weeks or years; a small toy might take hours or a month. I do this for myself, not for profit." u/SuccubusAgenda

2. Hot Weather

"I cannot stand extreme heat. Standing or walking in the sun makes me sweat endlessly, and sleeping becomes miserable. In the UK, everyone looks forward to summer but then complains about the heat." u/Simpleimages

3. Stanley Cups

"Kids at my school constantly drop these giant Stanley cups. Parents push them, not the kids. My $13 Walmart insulated cup works just as well." u/KitchenWitch021

4. Running

"Some enjoy it, but I dont. Ive tried running, and its just not for me. Other sports are far more enjoyable." u/bubba4fun

5. Quitting Corporate Life to Start a Business

"I prefer my peaceful job. Not everyone is cut out to run a business, and Im one of them. Having a small business can be all-consuming." u/Aroharoha0513

6. Weddings

"Im tired of being told I need a lavish wedding. We prefer a courthouse ceremony and a small celebration. Our love doesnt depend on spending $10k+." u/Such-Cap3496

7. Kombucha

"It might be healthy, but it tastes like fizzy vinegar. Honestly, one of the worst drinks Ive tried." u/jcgreen_72

8. Ice Baths

"Ice baths only help me when alternating with heat. Alone, they are miserable and ineffective." u/UltraRunner42

9. Becoming a Manager

"I hated managing. I enjoy my current job without constant stress, scheduling headaches, or extra responsibilities." u/TheBurgTheWord

10. Cruises

"Commercial cruises dont appeal to me. I think of illness risks and confinement, not a fun vacation." u/AdOk9572

11. Having Kids

"I know I wouldnt be a responsible parent. I dont need society to validate this life choice." u/BarrelProofWiskey

12. Drinking

"Working in restaurants means forced shots and hungover mornings. I fail to see the appeal of ruining your next day for brief fun." u/BasicallyJustAnIdiot

13. Dancing

"People always try to push me onto the dance floor. I dont feel compelled to dance, and I resent being treated as shy or awkward." u/bubba4fun

14. TikTok

"I refuse to download the app, and links that require it just annoy me." u/andyrocks

15. Overhyped AI Features

"Most new 'AI' features in software are marketing gimmicks. Cars, apps, and business tools claiming AI often just use complex algorithms, not real intelligence." u/KitchenPalentologist

16. Cauliflower Substitutes

"Cauliflower-based pizzas, rice, or crusts never taste like the originals. I hate it." u/Minute_Objective_746

17. Dogs

"I wasnt raised around dogs and find them overwhelming. I prefer being a cat person in peace." u/Grimedog22

18. Coffee

"I dislike bitter coffee and see no appeal in it." u/WandOfPilar

19. Hustle Culture

"Im tired of people glorifying overworking as the only path to success. Long hours do not equal dedication." u/bubba4fun

20. Crocs

"I see them as ugly but practical for yard work. The hype doesnt make them attractive." u/Kclayne00

21. Dating Pressure

"People constantly pressured me to use dating apps or meet strangers. I met my partner organically and am happy being single when needed." u/Tinatronic

22. Fast-Food Apps

"Every chain wants an app or loyalty card. Prices should be simple, not tied to digital hoops." u/paypermon
