‘Music festivals. especially the ones that are full weekends in the middle of nowhere. nothing about going completely in the hole financially to eat, stay, drive, get a fucking $8 water looks appealing to me. Usually in extremely hot places or really shit weather.

‘You have to select which artists you wanna see amongst a stacked set list with a lot of B’s on it, so you’re paying thousands for maybe a couple of artists you like. I’ll take my evening show and sleep in my bed.’

‘A wedding ceremony.

‘I never got married but I was a bridesmaid a bunch of times. You spend a lot of money, plan for months – sometimes years, by the way, for one day of taking pictures. I think it’s actually insane.’

‘Drinking regularly. Having a hangover constantly isn’t fun for anyone.

‘Eating super spicy foods, it takes over the flavor of the entire dish.

‘Having a full social life, always having plans and being around people is exhausting.’

‘Boat rides. There is nothing more boring or miserable than getting trapped in somebody’s boat; getting fried in the sun; no access to a bathroom; all while they show off their expensive, and frankly, stupid purchase. It’s one of many activities that is only tolerable when totally intoxicated.’

‘Cooking – shit takes way too long most of the time. I don’t wanna start prepping food when I’m not even hungry just so I got something ready by the time my stomach starts rumbling. And if I’m already hungry, I don’t wanna spend 2h making something.

‘I’ll never understand friends getting together to cook, like, to have that activity be the main focus of the evening. Bruh, let’s just order pizza and enjoy our time instead of shuffling around in a crowded kitchen for hours and hours.’
