People shared things we pretend are fun but are secretly hell and it’s fair to say a theme emerged – 17 living nightmares
Grinning and bearing your way through unpleasant experiences is an unfortunate fact of life. But are we all pretending to enjoy awful activities too?
Apparently so, if the answers to a recent question submitted by No_Revolution_4072 are anything to go by. Over on r/AskReddit, they tasked fellow users to share the activities that aren’t as fun as people make out by asking:
‘What’s something people pretend is fun but is secretly hell?’
If we’re being honest, it’s hard to disagree with these top answers…

‘Group vacations with more than 4 people. It starts as “fun with friends” and ends with passive aggression, drama, and one person crying in a bathroom’

7.
‘Disneyland. Maybe it’s because I’ve been so often growing up, but there’s just too many people and too many lines. The fun of the rides feels too short for the wait. Plus it’s a fortune now.’
