re: What’s something “normal” that people swear is great…that actually overrated?

Brunch does suck, but it has its use.

* Gender reveal parties = attention-seeking nonsense
-it's just an excuse to have a party, no one is forcing you to go.

* IPA beer tastes like pinecones and regret
-some of them taste alright and get you drunker than a light beer.

* Destination weddings are a financial hostage situation
-people getting married with a nice view, what's to hate? Again, no one is forcing you to go, and actually, they probably don't want you to go

* “Work family” is corporate propaganda
-not sure this one even applies to your rant.

* Lines for anything over 15 minutes = automatic no
-i dont think anyone swears that lines are great.

I’ll go first: brunch is a scam. You wait 90 minutes to eat eggs that cost $18 while drinking watered-down mimosas with people you barely like. Just call it what it is—day drinking with a cover charge.

Other hills I’m willing to die on:

* Gender reveal parties = attention-seeking nonsense
* IPA beer tastes like pinecones and regret
* Destination weddings are a financial hostage situation
* “Work family” is corporate propaganda
* Lines for anything over 15 minutes = automatic no

Let’s hear it. What’s the widely accepted thing that everyone pretends is awesome but is actually overrated?

Half your list is about money. Doing stuff you can't afford or don't want to waste money on doesn't make it "overrated"

Who on earth pretends gender reveals are awesome or "work family" is a thing?

Nobody pretends on the work family thing. They buy it. They believe that their employer truly has their back.

We all know that’s not the case when push comes to shove. They’ll do some cold blooded shite then hit you with “hey it’s not personal it’s just business”.

Naive young people fall for it bad.

Voting for communists.

Costco.

I can't get through that place without spending $300 and that doesn't include the cheap(er) gas.

Anyone that enjoys sipping whiskey neat is an alcoholic.

shite is absolutely disgusting unless mixed with something

Yes. I call them grass beer. Tastes like grass.

agreed. I love other styles of beer but a good Hazy is still king.

Asian food

The amount of hot pots and boil places is unsustainable in my area. People eat it because social media tells them it’s great. You can add Korean BBQ as well. Why pay to go to a restaurant just to cook your own food?
