You have probably seen a person change their mind about disliking something the second they hear their friend, for instance, say that they love it. Or witnessed someone push through what looks like torture to them, all the while trying to squeeze out a sincere (-looking) smile.

For one reason or another, some people choose to pretend to like something when they actually don’t. And similarly to said reasons, the things they pretend to like tend to differ from person to person. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently discussed what things they believe others lie about liking, and there were quite a few things they pointed their fingers at. Scroll down to find them on the list below and feel free to upvote the ones you agree with the most.

50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Ridiculously loud cars even when they are driving slow.

I know it's always going to be easier on the person making the sound but they got to find it annoying when other cars are loud to a corny level.

50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Watched it with my college roommates a couple of times and I was just like “I don’t get it” the entire time. I am really big into makeup and I found two of Kylie’s lip kits very discounted (ten dollars a piece when they were normally going for thirty dollars a piece) and I really didn’t get the appeal. I saw a conspiracy theory on a different subreddit saying that Kylie’s makeup line is a money laundering scheme at this point and that is something that I could actually get behind!

50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Stanley cups. The design is literally so stupid. It’s annoying to have to hold the weight of a full water bottle with your wrist. I would rather have a water bottle that has a handle on top so I can carry it comfortably.

I have found showering with someone else to be much more fun than showering alone.

On the rare occasions when I have a special woman in my life, I absolutely love showering together. Sure, I wouldn't do it on a daily basis when I'm getting ready for work. But when we have the time, there is nothing quite like the intimacy of being with the person you love in the warm water.

Also sex in the shower, the few times I've tried someone ends up injured or bruised in some way.

Showering with a partner every single time is weird, but now and then is fine. I drag my partner alone sometimes because the feeling of someone else giving your hair a good scrub is great.

My husband and I would have been married 36 years in July of 2024. We always showered together. I lost him in November 2023 and this is one of the things I miss the most (other than himself, of course).

It really helps if you have one of those shower heads that is actually two shower heads, one of them detachable. My wife and I shower together all the time with one of those, with one using the hose head and the other standing under the fixed head. It's much more fun!

This is solved by regular showers at another time but scheduling a special one aimed at romance instead of hair washing.

I have a 6 headed shower that would comfortably fit 4 people (people who built the house owned a plumbing company). Sharing isn't too bad in that one.

Morning sex and sharing the shower are not romantic. Morning breath and not get all the hot water is unpleasant.

Ah - this is where the marvel of removable shower heads comes into play! Seriously: I thought they were the norm everywhere, but apparently (gleaned from BP comments) this simple luxury never crossed the pond...? Adjustable in height via rod, shower head removable, about 50 Euros - no sticking neccessary 😁 dusche-66b...40eb1e.jpg dusche-66bb35c40eb1e.jpg

... it depends on the size of the shower. Like... I have a friend with a shower that is... HUGE. It's awesome. It's... I think it might be larger than some college dorm rooms. and it's just a shower (low lip to step over to enter, not a full bathtub wall), also the shower head is much more central, so it's not like the person(s) inside have to cram themselves one one side/against one wall to get the water. THAT shower 'stall' (room, really) ... two-person shower is awesome. Normal-sized shower stall? Ugh. elbows everywhere, one person is cold, wanting the other person to hurry up so they can get the hot water on them... etc. etc.

Bumping your back in the icy cold tiled wall half a second after being under hot water is enough to break the mood.

Nothing like a tight space, where you can whimp as you get the ice cold side of the wall on you back and behind, an elbow in the face and no water, because there's no space under the shower for the two of us...ooh, so tempting

really, sex in a water situation -- i.e., sex without lubrication -- is not good...as elaine said in seinfeld "sex in a tub doesn't work"...yet it is such a movie trope...foreplay in the water, fine...the deed in the water, no

I think it depends on your goal (and the size of your shower). I have enjoyed showering and bathing with other people. (wife / girlfriend - no, not overlapping times). But you are there for the togetherness first and getting clean second. If you just want to get clean so you can scoot off to work or an appointment then showering alone is more practical.

I don't think there is nothing wrong as long as you have the time, but if you need to get in and out in a fairly decent time then no.

50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Poly relationships.

thrilliam_19:

I have several friends who all tried poly relationships at some point in their life and every single one ended in disaster, and whenever they were all together in the same room at least one person looked like they were miserable and pretending to be ok with what was going on.
Someone always got jealous or someone cheated. Or it was an excuse for 3-4 people to fuck each other for a few months until someone got bored and the people that were actually into it got hurt.
I’m not saying it can’t work, but I have seen zero evidence that it does. I also feel like long-term monogamous relationships are hard, why would adding another person into that relationship make things better or easier?
