18 'great' things people need to stop trying to convince others to support.

Trends come and go and low-rise jeans ebb and flow, but there are some classic words of wisdom or generally overrated things that are annoyingly relentless...

Go away, 5 day 40-hour work week. So, when a Reddit user asked, 'What are you sick of people trying to convince you is great?' people were ready to vent about the things they think are criminally over-hyped. What's the point of gambling on the 'stock market' if you don't even get free drinks like in a casino? Do you really need to save for 'retirement' if nobody can retire anymore? Is avocado toast really worth $18 dollars? Yes it is.

1.

Natural remedies. Those are what people used when they didn't have anything else and didn't know any better. Pharmaceutical chemicals for the win! - No_Antelope_6604

2.

Taylor Swift. I just can't seem to get into her, and her cult-like fanbase trying to drill in that she is god is something else - walmartvicfuentes

3.

The keto diet. God, I'm so sick of hearing about it. No, I do NOT want to put my body into starvation mode lite, and I'm sick of them demonizing all carbs. Like, I've seen some of these people do it, and they always are miserable, lethargic, and tired. - Equivalent_Fee4670

4.

Cauliflower anything — pizza, rice, mashed potatoes, etc. Or any good pretending to be other food, for that matter. - tiggerbunny

5.

Instagram. Useless as f**k. - lorassino

6.

Working from an office. I get that it's perfect for some people, but as an introvert, I'm happier doing my job remotely. - Some_Willow_552

7.

Having to work a job I don’t find interesting for a living - ThatsincRedditble

8.

Potlucks at work. I'm not spending my time and money for a 'fun' work party. If they want to have a causal work get together the company can cater the damn thing...plus Cheryl always makes weird sh*t... - KiwiDimes

9.

IPAs. You seriously can't mention that you don't like them without them saying YoU JuSt hAvEn'T tRIeD a GoOd OnE. - Not_The_Outsider

10.

Their religion. - revs201

11.

Waking up at crack of dawn just to “get a head start on the day” - f*ckinraccons

12.

Alcohol. Every time I'd go out and people saw I don't drink they'd ask me why. When I explained I'm teetotal, they'd try their best to get me to drink. I'm not a virgin to the stuff; I was a drinker in my teens but realized I hated it so packed it in. - Leapling229

13.

Having kids. I’ve known I don’t want kids for 10+ years. “You won’t know unless you have them!” Why would I make kids I’m not sure I’ll like? That’s a whole other human being, bro. Not some pet. I don’t want to be a dad. - CofDumbassery

14.

Their untrained, unleashed dog. GTFO with that mess and don't bring it out in public until you have actually given it some meaningful training and a leash. Also, if you are not physically capable of restraining that dog, don't bring it out in public ever. - ThisistheInfiniteIs

15.

Working yourself to death for a retirement that may or may not happen. Live now, not chasing this hustle culture that puts you in the grave with more regrets then dollars in your pocket. - sorvis

16.

Game of Thrones. I don't want to watch a story about royal families/rich people inbreeding, killing each other and destroying the world. reminds me too much of real life. - random-bird-appears

17.

Podcasts. 'They're so great, they'll let you learn things while doing other things....like audiobooks, but topical'...'your drives will be more productive'. Fuck you I'm busy and my brain is ALWAYS running, leave it alone. It does not need to be more productive.

My brain is busy enough, I do not care. I do not care about all the people who have decided their opinions are important enough to record and share and get ads for. Let me listen to my music and my white noise in peace. I need my car time to decompress.

I love my husband, but he's a huge podcast guy and wants me to listen them. I have found 1-3 that I can handle on occasion, but I pretty much refuse to add more at this point. I listen to most of them so we can talk about them and I can be informed, and not just to have him summarize them for me. - s_kisa

I've been with my boyfriend for almost 6 years. The only BF I've ever had. We met in high school and now I'm almost done with Uni. People constantly try to convince me that I should break up with him and be with more people because 'I'm missing something.' I don't get why I have to eat sh*t first and then get to appreciate a loving relationship. - Prior-Throat-8017
