Life is a rich tapestry full of lots of things to do and enjoy. There’s also a lot of stuff that’s billed as “fun” or “enjoyable,” but that is honestly dumb as hell. And what’s especially galling is when there are people who appear to enjoy the dumb things. It leaves you wondering: is it just me? Am I incapable of joy? (Probably not.) Or am I just old and crabby? (Possibly.)
On r/AskReddit, user AndyBales solicited submissions for all the things out there that Redditors suspect people are only pretending to enjoy (for whatever masochistic, self-gaslight-y reasons).
From certain kinds of social interactions to, you know, life in general, here were some of the most on-point answers.
Drama
Long church services
Loud music at restaurants and bars
Podcasts with a captive audience
Instagram-ifying everything
Live-action movie remakes
