Things you hate, that every one else seems to enjoy

-MCU. I can't wait for this franchise to start bombing



-Star Wars. Same



-Hot drinks. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, you name it.



-Jennifer Lawrence. Not hate, just dislike, and confusion on why she's so beloved. Her "real" personality seems forced to me, which makes her more fake than other celebrities.



-The Metric System. I realize it makes more sense. But I grew up on Imperial, and am good enough at math to where 12 inches=1 foot and 5280 ft=1 mile isn't that hard for me to figure out.



-A lot of classic rock

I'm watching the Rose Parade, and it occurs to me that I just do not get parades. Nothing about them is appealing to me. Not floats. Not marching bands or baton wavers. Not getting there at 5:00 am to get a "good" seat for these things. It is all entirely baffling. I feel bad saying that as I know that a lot of work goes into those elements on display at parades, and I don't mean to diminish that, but the whole spectacle is just another weird thing y'all do.

Ranch dressing

These are the correct answers.

I speak for no man...

but for those that heap food scraps or verbal praise upon me....in that case, I will speak for any man or woman and say anything...

Triskan you are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. You put Ozymandias to shame. You are the Bee's knees. You know what? You're just awesome.

So how much verbal praise is required for you to become a spokesmonkey?

People hogging the bathroom at work

Do you know a ton of people who just love it when people hog the bathroom at work? Do people look at you strange when you tell them that you dislike this? Does your other work mates stand up and cheer when the bathroom is monopolized?

As for me, I really dislike

Baker

Cormac Mcarthy

David Lynch

and

Stanley Kubrick

How dare you disrespect Phil Collins! Quick story: my co-worker tells me he doesn't like Phil Collins' music (co-worker can come off like a music snob). Which threw me for a loop when 'In The Air' comes on and he commences to sing every word.

Lol, just for you then.

Hannibal (almost hate) and Mad Men (especially Don Draper!) (dislike quite a lot). I know that this is probably a deadly offence on this forum.

also, relevant to the thread;

bacon.

even when i was not veggie, bacon is just...so overrated. so ridiculously, phenomenally overrated.

I agree, bacon is totally overrated around here.

Beer.
When I was younger I also hated fizzy drinks, but I managed to stamp that out because it was so inconvenient.

I still dislike all of them. It is not that inconvenient, I just drink water/juice/tea/cocoa all the time. I do not like coffee (stinky) and beer (bitter :ack:) either.

I've lost count of the number of times that a favourite item of mine has been discontinued in the supermarket. Seriously, pretty much every product I've ever liked has been killed.

You too huh? I still weep for the inexplicable demise of those Knorr sauce pots, as well as that other stirfry sauce whose name I have long forgotten (though the memory of the delicious taste lives on)... WHY GOD WHY?

The worst part is stepping out of the hot shower and being hit by the blast of cold air. This often results on me standing in the shower for far too long, plucking up the courage to turn off the hot water.

Rookie error. Keep the towel within easy reach, then you can grab it and dry off inside the cubicle without losing too much of that hot steam. This information brought to you courtesy of a former landlady who had built an unheated shower room right by the back door which had cm-wide gaps all round for maximum admittance of all winter winds (the shower also ran off a coin meter so you had to be careful the water didn't run out before you'd finished...)

I hate Love Actually with the fiery burning passion of a thousand suns. Even by shitty rom-com standards it's fucking terrible, and I just do.not.understand why everyone has to go on and on and on about it every fucking Christmas.

Sriracha sauce. The few North American friends I have cannot live without this stuff, I just don't see the appeal. I'm usually met with "How can you not like Sriracha?!" when I refuse to have some. It tastes awful, there are so many other ones that taste better.



Edit: Love Actually and Showers are great though. It must be difficult to live in a world where one does not like those two things.



On account of Polish's post down thread, I'd also throw in Die Hard. Can't watch that film.

Making a big deal out of New Year's Eve. Writing generic HAPPY NEW YEAR posts and tweets as if it actually means anything. URGH. The sending of generic text greetings is one of the worst things about mobile phones. I have zero interest in your bland meaningless communication. Fuck off.

Being dead set on getting smashed out of your head _just because_ it's a particular date. Acting like it's some super significant day in your life which you have to get super drunk on purpose in order to celebrate. Lame. NYE is the culmination of amateur month.

Love Actually is a shitty picture with the plot of a porno written by a horny 14 year old girl and her friends at a slumber party ,including every overused element of every rom com ever .

The reason many like it is because so many at some point where horny 14 year olds .

This is hardly unique to NYE.

Isis,

Okay, here's mine. I don't like being "drunk". A buzz can be somewhat pleasant but "drunk" I don't care for. It usually leads to a hangover and the evening before is a blur. Part of what I enjoy about having a fun evening is remembering what happened later. When I'm drunk I lose parts. I don't like that. I'm not against drinking generally I simply dislike being "drunk".

Tom Hanks. Something about him annoys me immensely. It's not that I'm incapable of enjoying a film with him in, but most of his more iconic roles... just don't get it.

Beer. Just in general. I don't understand the appeal at all. It always strikes me as something even people who like it now had to make themselves do so, and it doesn't seem worth the effort.

The Big Bang Theory. I'm not sure how popular it is on this board, but a lot of my friends think it's fucking hysterical. And unlike other comedies that I don't like but I can see the appeal, with this I just don't see what's funny.

A friend from work tried to convince me that it's a better Christmas film than Die Hard the other week.

Mind you, she hadn't seen Die Hard at the time.

Yeah I don't get the Big Bang theory either . I find it below average .

I also echo the Jennifer Lawrence dislike . I do not "hate" her but I sure dislike her bogus pr . I also don't think she's that good . She's fair in a just below average generation of actors .

I don't like bill Murray's acting , he seems like a nice chap but I simply don't think he's a good actor . Still enjoyed some of his roles .

Coffee . I drink less than 20 cups per month . And when I do it's for the flavor so just special things .
