Even the strong smell of coffee gives me a headache. Beer. I've only had two that I could even say I liked. One was so weak it was almost water, and another was aged in bourbon vats, and tasted like bourbon. x2 on both of these. It's a wonder I made it through college. |

If I had 3 wishes from a genie, one would be for this terrible thing to have never existed. McDonald's - I have never had a McDonald's hamburger - The smell of them makes me want to gag. Harry Potter - I don't get it, It bores me half to tears. |

Master 2264 Sunbury, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Things lots of people like... Geez, I'm trying to become a recovering hipster, but an invitation like this to express what I dislike that is popular, well here comes a relapse. In no particular order.... Golf. - Carlin nailed this one. Modern country pop music. NASCAR Coffee Following a professional sports team Post-rehab Aerosmith Transformer movies Fast and Furious movies American mass market beer watching reality tv -all I hear is how it's a trainwreck you HAVE to watch. No you don't. There is no reason to know anything about a Kardashian or a Honey Boo Boo. None. Joel Osteen sparkly Vampires Gallagher The Olive Garden "Liking" facebook statuses about bad news. Farmville, candy crush, mafia wars, etc..... Pirates. -the definition of a pirate is a criminal, often rapist and murderer. We still have pirates. They are not cute. The song Life is a Highway, sung by anyone. Thomas Kinkaide paintings. I could do this all night. |

I just can't get excited about following the equivalent of a bunch of farm teams. To this Canadian it's like obsessing over minor league hockey. Imagine the Moose Jaw Warriors with a national TV contract. |

Master 2380 Beijing | Subject: RE: Things lots of people like... Originally posted by bullyboy SUSHI. I swear if one more person tries to get me to eat sushi... I will throttle them with their octopus surprise while shoving chopsticks up their backside. them: "have you ever TRIED it" me: "yes. it is disgusting" them: "you should try it again" me: "i have over 5 times. it is still disgusting" them: "well this place has the best/ freshest, blah, blah, blah...." me: "all five times it was prepared by highly skilled sushi "whatevers" at either a 4 or 5 star restaurant... I HATE THE FREAKIN' TASTE!!!" I'm not sure if I hate sushi or the people pushing it on me more.  I'm the same way, except for cooked fish. I actually like Sushi. I've had the conversation above more times than I can count. When I got to Beijing, people COUDLN'T BELIEVE that I didn't eat fish. "Is it the bones?" (they serve the ENTIRE fish here, and then you pick off the meat and eat it and then spit out the bones.) "No. I don't like fish. The texture is horrible, and it either tastes like NOTHING, or it is so fishy that I can't stand it." "Fish in China is different." "No it isn't. I've had fish all over the world. It's all the same bland disgusting fishy pasty nastiness." "But we cook it different." "No, you don't." then later.... "I've got a suggestion for you when people ask you to eat fish." "Oh really? That would be great!" "I think you should just try it." "GDDMMIT PEOPLE, AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME?" |

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Things lots of people like... College basketball. The only reason I look forward to March Madness is because it means the season is finally almost over. Auto racing. I don't get the appeal. I can't imagine watching cars drive around a track for hours at a time. Mayonnaise. I only like it in preparations where you can't taste it, like tuna sandwiches, crab cakes, etc. |

Master 2504 Southwest Iowa | Subject: RE: Things lots of people like... The taste of coffee - I love the smell of coffee and like to make fresh coffee for my wife as I like the smell when I am grinding the coffee beans. The taste is terrible and any tea is just as bad if not worse. Why screw up water by adding dead leaves to water so it will smell bad and taste bad. Cabbage and brussell sprouts - cook this stuff outside or in another house. The smell almost makes me vomit when the wife does some for some of our dinner parties or if we are catering for something.

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Things lots of people like... Glad to see I'm not the only one with unusual food dislikes. Mine are few, but they are pretty major and disqualify me from a lot of the main sources of American bulk: *Cheese (pretty much any kind. I can put up with feta....barely), ground meat, egg yolks unless scrambled in. It mainly has to do with texture, as well as taste. Blue cheese--just might puke! *Sweets, except really dark chocolate. Not a health thing, just hate'em. Always been that way. Mom is the same--I think it's genetic. Yep--tough for an endurance athlete. Have spent a lot of time finding the few brands/flavors of gu/bars/drinks that I can stand! Pork: Not a religious or health reason, just hate the taste. I love Malaysian and Indonesian food--no cheese, ever, few sweets except for bearable stuff like coconut drinks, and they're not going to slip pork into dishes. I always thought of myself as (and was always accused of being) a picky eater until I moved to Asia. Now, it's usually a non-issue. Aside from that, don't have too many hates. Just don't get into a lot of sit-down stuff, though. TV, online games, Facebook, Twitter--bleh. I prefer being active; when I'm too tired, I read or sleep. And (odd for someone who lives in the tropics, I know) lying on the beach/in the sun. I love to swim in the ocean and body-surf, maybe have a quick lie-down to dry off, but once I'm dry, I'm back in the shade or preferably the air-con. I lived in Hawaii for two years, and I think I actually lay out on the beach once or twice for an hour, max. Lived in SE Asia for seven years and, aside from tris, never done a beach trip or spent the day at the beach. Hot sunny weather just makes me tired. Guess I'm an Oregonian at heart. |

Extreme Veteran 799 | Subject: RE: Things lots of people like... Watching sports on TV or getting really excited about them in general. In particular I think it's really strange to be a diehard fan of a college you didn't go to. I'll probably watch a football game or two a year while drinking beer with my friends, but I cannot understand getting excited or mad about a team you have nothing to do with. Going to a big game is fun, but to me it's all about the atmosphere, hanging with friends, talking trash, and drinking beer. |

Most people did not go to college at all, let alone PSU. |

Master 1780 Boynton Beach, FL | Subject: RE: Things lots of people like... Originally posted by Hook'em "Sports" that are judged YES! I always said that if it needs judges, its not a sport. It might be physically demanding, difficult, and requires ability. But not a sport. The worst for me is ski jumping. Why do you even have a "style" score combined with the actual jump length for the overall score? So what if I decided to jump in a Tutu while flapping my arms like a chicken while making animal noises? If I jump further than you, I win. Simple. Although I disagree with the mustang. I had a 69 mustang...sweet car. Edited by Samyg 2013-05-30 9:44 AM |

And the format is tired. The over-glamorization of celebrity chefs. Hunting/Fishing. There's grocery stores now.

YES! Add any type of creamy dressing and alfredo sauce, and we'll have a complete set of disgustingness. Ick. |

oooh good one. I'm putting a moratorium on all baby showers, bridal showers, engagement parties. No more. I'm not bitter, I'm just sick of going to them after 16 or so years, and now I'm going to people's round two. No, you already had one, you don't get to have another one. And you really don't get to have one for your second child. Enough with the money grab. |
