A new writer asked me yesterday how I deal with negative reviews and the answer is that I don’t deal with them. I let other people I love check that shit out and they tell me if it’s something I should take to heart or not. Sometimes feedback can be really helpful but often it just fucks with your head so it’s good to have someone who isn’t you look at it objectively so you don’t have that shit in your head forever. The thing I’ve learned that is the most helpful is this:
I’M NOT FOR EVERYONE.
And that’s actually great because if I was for everyone then I’d be so bland and pointless that no one ever would say, “OMG ME TOO! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY WEIRDO.”
You are totally not the only weirdo. Welcome home.
Whenever I start to doubt that someone rejecting me isn’t necessarily a reflection on me as a person I remind myself that there are amazing, brilliant things that are so important that people base their lives around them but that I personally do not get the appeal of at all. It’s not that I’m better than those people and honestly I wish I loved a lot of stuff that I don’t because I know I’m missing out, but we are all unique and that is what makes it so magical when we find the things make our hearts sing.
So, right now, I want you to share at least one thing that everyone else in the world seems to love but that you could totally do without for the rest of your life. And remember that even though you don’t like it, it doesn’t mean those things aren’t important. That goes for you too. Not everyone is going to like you. But so many people are going to love you.
I’ll go first.
Things I could live without forever that the rest of the world loves:
Tolkien. Oreos. Steely Dan. Cherry popsicles. Sweaters.
Your turn.
PS. Later this week we’ll look at things you love that no one else seems to appreciate so start thinking about that too.
Turtlenecks.
So happy that we’re your weirdos!
I don’t like coffee, tea, or wine. They all taste bitter and gross to me. And, yes, I know everyone thinks I’m weird.
Abstract art. It just looks like a bunch of paint splashed around to me.
I have a real issue with Steely Dan – too. Sigh.
Abstract art. It just looks like a bunch of paint splashed around to me.
Salinger, Nutter Butters, Grateful Dead, tea, puffy vests.
CCC. Lawyers.
Ketchup. Reality TV. Proper grammar. Toe shoes.
Starbucks
I don’t like lime or cherry popsicles, beer, wine, ketchup, or ranch dressing.
I am right there with you on the Oreos. My big one is football, though. That’s super fun, living in Texas.
Horror and terror movies. I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of them. Why… just why, argh. Also, jelly and flan. The consistency… yikes.
Disney ballads, cilantro
Professional family photos. Grey’s Anatomy. Facebook. Car decals. Gluten free food.
Dark chocolate. Having (my own) children. Pants
Belts, high heels, bikinis, brussel sprouts, Trump
Harry Potter, jeans, sightseeing, thanksgiving
Strawberries and avocados. 🤢
Ketchup. Reality TV. Proper grammar. Toe shoes.
deviled eggs, internet buffering, cleaning toilets, Justin Bieber and turtlenecks?
Elvis. I lived in Memphis for most of my life and just didn’t get all of the fans coming there just to see his mansion that’s not really even a mansion. Some of these people came all the way from Japan, Germany, Australia, etc. just to do this. 😒
Gone With the Wind. Anna Karenina. It’s a Wonderful Life. Coconut water.
Fleece clothing (blankets don’t count) and the movie Titanic.
Donuts. I will eat them, but only socially.
Mushrooms. Brie. Cucumbers. Zoos. Punch with pop in it. Roller coasters.
Dark chocolate. Having (my own) children. Pants.
Coffee and tea. And crime/violent tv shows or movies.
New Years Eve, nail polish, down filled anything, and bananas
I don’t like The Big Bang Theory (the show). My family loves it and since I’m the designated nerd in the family they are shocked every time they relearn that I don’t like it. Also I hate paper plates because of pollution and I don’t mind washing my plates and the texture makes me cringe.
Thinness. I would 200% trade my scrawniness for a tummy and some hips.
Tea, cilantro, sour cream, yogurt, blue cheese, and (sorry!) Meghan Markle.
It’s a Wonderful Life.
Gone With The Wind.
Anna Karenina.
Coconut water.
Sci-fi/futuristic movies / TV / Books, Video games and coffee anything.
I don’t drink coffee or alcohol. I don’t like the taste. Though out there, there are one or two alcoholic beverages that I have enjoyed, but I don’t actively seek it out.
Avocado.
Food so spicy it sears your taste buds and nostril hairs right off your body.
Seafood (for eating); in the ocean where it belongs, it’s awesome.
Coffee. It is just burnt water, and you are all wrong 😉
But on the flip side…
You lost me at Tolkien. I must confess though, I do have a good reason for loving him – my parents named me from his LOTR series (the little Elanor flower in Lothlorien) so I guess I have an excuse. 🙂
Also, I also absolutely adore spiders in all shapes and sizes. My friends now send me random spider posts on FB asking me to identify them.
Bourbon, scotch, pal ales, football, the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”
Smart phones and Cardi B.
Parades, apple pie, baseball, asparagus, and rhubarb. Oh, and Gmail. But gmail pretty much loathes me too.
the sport of curling, Game of Thrones, the Kardashian clan and Justin Bieber
Grateful Dead, Doughnuts, Big Bang Theory, Basketball.
Exercise (I get rage not euphoria)
Dancing & Clubs
Playing Cards
Waterparks
Cheeseburgers. I like cheese and hamburgers but not together. Holy fuck that’s gross! And I hate maple syrup, most nuts (except cashews), and maple syrup and pumpkin anything and butternut squash. NOPE.
Sci-fi / futuristic / Harry Potter type anything. Video games. Coffee.
Ketchup. Reality TV. Proper grammar. Toe shoes.
I am 100% with you on Steely Dan and sweaters. Well, “Dirty Work” by Steely Dan I like but seriously bleh.
And sweaters get too hot because everyone keeps the heat too high in winter and they’re itchy and bulky and frankly just not comfortable.
Things I can do without: the song Sister Christian. Sausage. Taylor Swift (YEAH I SAID IT). Beer.
Babies. Bananas.
Football.
Game of Thrones.
Peanut Butter.
Coffee. Twilight (the books). Dan Brown.
Coffee, tea, beer, wine, pickles.
Family pictures. Especially the framed ones.
reality tv, wine, sports
Danielle Steele. Twix. “Reality” shows. Bathing suits.
Harry Potter, Christmas, traveling and sweet vegetables.
Doctor Who. Marvel movies. Beyonce. (She’s gorgeous and has an incredible voice, but her style of music is not up my street, okay.)
Kardashians, thongs, ketchup, crowds, amusement parks, movie popcorn, high heels, parades.
Mocha. Yuck. I like my chocolate to taste like chocolate and my coffee to taste like coffee. Don’t try to confuse the two greatest things on earth.
Mushrooms, beer, wine and politics.
Religion. Gone with the Wind. Lawyers. Purposely-distressed furniture. Jeans faded on purpose. The Saw movie franchise. The desert (love desserts, though ;-). Actually, the outdoors in general. Summer. Hot (anything above 60 degrees) weather.
Coffee, pedicures, feta cheese. Everyone can have my share.
Avocados. The Princess Bride. Pumpkin anything. Hot tubs.
ice cream
Ice cream It really is a big no matter to me
Even i’m brazilian and i don’t speak english very well so i’m sorry if i say something that doesn’t make much sense
Mushrooms, beer, wine and politics.
Coffee… beer… opera
S’mores, pumpkin spice everything
brand new restaurants, twitter, kindle, dancing and country music
Coffee. Game of Thrones. Superhero movies. iPhones (and people who act like iPhones are the only smart phones available). Concerts. Facebook. OK, I’ll say it, friends that attend concerts with mutual friends and post pics on Facebook using their iPhones so friends who weren’t invited can see. TOTALLY kidding, but it just seemed to all go together so well (I could not figure out how to work Game of Thrones, superhero movies and coffee into the drama). I am too old to care who does what with who on Facebook, and usually too tired to join in anyway.
Things I could live without forever that the rest of the world loves:
Country Music. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Billie Eilish.
Things I could live without forever that the rest of the world loves:
Country Music. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Billie Eilish.
Modern jazz (makes me want to bite something or someone), Black Friday/and, actually, stores open on Thanksgiving, and a lot of the crap/hype that has become Christmas….and so-called Christians who seem to have missed a LOT of the points made in the New Testament. Oh- and people who won’t vote because they think their vote doesn’t matter. And finally, as a now-retired teachers, politicians who think that testing=teaching. Whew! I feel better already!
I know you will probably say I’m sick, but I honestly have to say sex. Only had experience with 2 partners, and maybe they got it wrong, but I could live without it The rest of my life. The only good things that came from it were my daughters.
Chicken, semi sweet and dark chocolate (let’s simply say bakers block when a kid, big bite),1970’s El Camino, and wine
Sports. I was born without a gene for it. “Reality” TV. The news. It’s way too depressing, and I have to deal with my own head as it is.
I’m with you on the Oreos. Chanel flap bags. Bluegrass. Trump.
Alcoholic beverages. Canon in D by Pachelbel. Spectator sports. Makeup.
Journey. As in the band. I absolutely HATE them. I can’t even tell you why, but I really do and people are in absolute shock if this ever comes up. There are definitely others (I’m so with you on Tolkien), but this is the one that upsets the most people.
Beer. Nutella. Any fruit candy.
Bob Dylan and coffee. Maybe if I had coffee WITH Bob Dylan they’d both be better? If so, maybe Bruce Springsteen should come too.
People think I’m there for their needs. I am so OVER THAT SHIT!
Coffee. Alcoholic beverages. Jello (total sensory nightmare). The movie Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio.
I didn’t read the fine print. I listed Trump. The rest of the world doesn’t love him…strike him off the list.
David Sedaris. Licorice. Whiskey.
Carol King. Picnics. Small dogs.
Louis Vuitton anything
For me it is snow, ice or anything other thing associated with coldness. People go all gaga over snow and I just don’t get it.
Luckily, (not really luck, I planned this) I now live in Vietnam and will never be cold again.
Coffee. Pumpkin spice anything (including pumpkin pie). Horror movies. Sports. Rock concerts. Sushi.
black pepper, coffee, dark chocolate, game of thrones, skinny jeans, high heels (low heels, any heels)
Cookie dough.
Disney land. Disney world. I don’t understand it at all
Paintings like those of Mark Rothko, puffy vests, mochi, baseball or soccer, beer, EGGPLANT, scented products because they come together with all the other random scents in other products=ewwww, and probably too many other things I just can’t think of at the moment.
Game of Thrones…I just do not get the appeal…I couldn’t even stick through 1 episode.
Honestly…sex. 🤷🏻♀️

Peanut butter, pizza, any alcohol, the color black, Friends

Coffee, dark chocolate, Princess Bride, bloody violent anything, horror whatever, Twitter, and chalk paint!
Hallmark movies. Reality TV. People Magazine. Lipstick. Walmart. Avocado Toast. Rap music. Christmas decorations before Halloween. (Don’t even talk to me about Christmas until after Thanksgiving.)
Agreed with so many of the ones already written. Also for me, Red Velvet. Yes to the cream cheese icing, but you can put that shit on anything and make it delicious. The actual Red Velvet cake…nope.
Duplin’ dots. Especially tutto frutti. Yuck. Asked husband for ice cream at a baseball game (have been married almost 24 years and he Knows I love all things chocolate) and he brings me this sticky atrocity?
Baseball , country music, cilantro, the twilight series
Avocados
Sigh. Dippin. And Tutti
Ketchup chips and Game of Thrones
Cilantro and Neil Young
IPA’s, cookies with raisins, breaded meat, pineapple on pizza

Game of Thrones-I tried, I swear. I can’t.
Blue October-his voice is so fucking whiney makes me want to stab myself in the eardrums

Friends. Ketchup. Mayo. Outlander. Game of Thrones. A Discovery of Witches (Holy cow, I caught it a couple weeks ago from some of my tour guests when they found out I was not able to finish the book – let alone the following books.)
Christmas I pretend to like it but really it’s my least favorite holiday, Designer handbags, , makeup. and Joe Hill the author.
Taylor Swift hurts my ears
In no particular order, and as noted, with the awareness that this doesn’t make me better than people who like these things: Christmas and the associated treacly music. Winter. Team sports. The idea of fame and celebrities. The idea of ‘working hard and playing hard.’ Mission statements. Dancing. Country music (I live in the southwest.) Reality TV. Practical jokes. There are more, but that’ll do for now.
Musicals. Especially The Sound of Music. I just can’t stand any of them!
Beer, pot, high heels & crackle finishes.
OMG someone else who doesn’t like Oreos!!!! The whole WORLD loves Oreos except me – and you!!!! I also hate coconut and coffee, two more things the whole world loves. Except I have found a few people who hate one or the other of those, too. Yes, I’m a weirdo and I am proud to be one of YOUR weirdos. If that isn’t too weird…
As a Canadian, I feel like a social pariah that I don’t dig the Tragically Hip at all. It’s like a Canadian “thing” to like this band… I keep it quiet. Oh, and ice cream. Also not my jam.
Beyonce, pickles, wine, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Chick Lit/Rom-Coms, Reese Witherspoon, summer, ham (especially hot ham)
Coffee, wine, soft drinks, shopping malls, most junk food, football, cooking, and heavy makeup. There are many others but that will do for the moment. Yay for weirdos!
Black pepper. And all things British.
Sweet corn, lobster, prestige TV shows with unlikeable “heroes”, and any sport where opponents beat the crap out of each other: boxing, wrestling, MMA, football,…
I hate most sports, pumpkin spice anything, all mlm’s, the term “boss babe”, all Kardashians, hallmark christmas movies, Tolkien books, Steeley Dan, the Jonas Brothers, high waisted Jean’s.
I’m sure there is so much more, but I’ll leave it at that for now.

The movie Forrest Gump, mayonnaise, country music, Harry Potter books or movies, the show Friends, meat, beer, pot, football, basketball, Hallmark movies, popular fiction. And that’s just a start. I love looking at everyone’s lists. (But GAWD, I did love Game of Thrones!)

Oh, and sweet tea and BBQ.
Chocolate. Neil Young. Bananas.
The Alamo. When I moved to San Atonio I put it on my un-bucket list. Seriously, it wasn’t our land to begin with…what am I missing here?
I’ll try almost anything once, but often once is enough. Most new shows on TV, Starbucks/fancy coffees, mcmansions, morning radio DJs, having my own children, and buying the latest car/phone/etc.
Now, you damn kids — get off my lawn! 😉
Coffee. Avocados. High heels.
High heeled shoes – NOBODY’s got time for that and you can’t run away as fast, baths (sitting in your own dirty water for an hour? How is that relaxing?), dark chocolate, drill teams, bras, Hemingway. Apparently I think non sequiturs are the bomb though.
Celebrities, Reality TV, most Starbucks drinks, medical TV shows, all spinoffs of Law & Order (original is the only watchable series), TV adaptation of GoT. I could go on…
Oh, reading others’ comments make me think of even MORE again: pugs, Star Trek, GOT, face time (without warning), yoga pants, pumpkin spice, scented candles, subway tile, The biggest of all — and this is more of a pet peeve — is the word “like” used as anything other than a verb or simile. It drives me CRAZY. The record I’ve heard was five times in one sentence. PLEASE STOP!
Thanks for letting me rant on that last one.
Mayonnaise, waiting in line for brunch, la croix, kale.
Bacon. Cauliflower. Stephen King. Instagram.
flower bouquets, scented anything but mostly candles, Breaking Bad, games
Cantaloupe. I call it gagaloupe. It permeates and pollutes a fruit salad so don’t tell me to just pick it out. It is the only food I can’t eat so leave me alone.

Bacon, avocados, steak (hopefully, these three are never together in my presence), football, horror movies
Wine. Pumpkin spice anything (except for pumpkin pie, which I love). Sushi, Keto, Paleo, actually any diet that takes away all the things I love to eat.

Zombies. Vampires. So many movies and tv shows that so many people love, but they just creep me out.
Country music. Folk music. Football. Religion. Uggs. Game of Thrones. Anything fantasy-related (like GOT, Tolkien, etc.) Most sitcoms. Seche Vite topcoat. Louis Vuitton logo bags. (Any logo bags, actually.) I think being unique takes more guts and shows more refined taste than just being a lemming and following the lead.
Oh, yeah! Pumpkin spice! I hate pumpkin spice with a mad-weasel passion!!!!
Elvis
Lima beans, all fish(to eat) and all holidays except for birthdays.
The Beatles. IPA beer. Sitcoms. Watermelon.

Thanksgiving. TikTok. Bottled water. Ice in beverages. Bacon. Artificial maple syrup. UGG boots. RuPaul’s Drag Race. Hershey’s chocolate. LaCroix, which I will forever insist should be pronounced la-kwahhh and not luh-croy.
beer, coffee, pepsi, sushi, undercooked meat (yes it all must be well done), kardashians, and really following any celebrities…. I mean who has the time…. and they make big money so why do I need to support their lifestyle by buying their shit….

Reproducing. Sequels. Prequels. Republicans. Families.
On “It’s a Wonderful Life”– totally with you. In my book, it’s a horror film about a poor bastard that God tortures until he’s ready to kill himself, at which point God threatens to kill or destroy everyone he ever loved, until he volunteers to go back and endure more torture.
Professional sports. Shopping malls. Digital assistants. Pet dogs. Beer. Whiskey.
Musicals and laundry detergent that’s smells!
Olives, avocados, mushrooms, cheap-ass toilet paper (cannot abide), coffee.
Yes! How could I forget Fifty shades of grey? Trying to read that crap just makes my head hurt.
Also, gender reveal parties. Whose bright idea were those? Just in my family two dads were crushed (and honestly, kind of hated) when they found out they were having another girl. Both dad’s already have two. Phooey. Who needs to witness their private angst?
Coffee. The color Pink. Dark chocolate.
Flannel sheets, salads, Sirius radio, open concept houses.

Christmas music!
I could do without ANY reality TV shows….
Beer
I’m just going to add Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorations all coming out in August/September, then Valentine’s & St. Patrick’s day decor at Christmas. Remember when consumerism was more subtle?

Sorry to all fans of the things on my list.
E
I love that looking through these comments I’m seeing many people listing the same things I would! That shows right there that while tons of people may like those things, it’s not everyone! Now lets see if I can come up with some stuff that may not have been mentioned already…
For me, pretty much any vegetable and most fruits… There are literally only like 3 things in combined fruits/veggies section that I’ll eat, and even then only every once in awhile. Most soda, I actually used to drink soda way too much but when I had some stomach issues a few years back I tried to cut down on the soda, and nowadays most soda just legit makes me cringe when I take a sip (root beer is an exception, but again only every so often).
The sun. Sounds weird until I point out that I live in Arizona and sun=heat, soooo much heat. (Seriously, middle of November right now and we are still having high-80s temperatures.) And even without the heat issue, I just like overcast/cloudy days more, I feel like sunny days are just too bright and bold and in your face.
Most ‘popular’ music of the moment? Like, Beyonce and Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj… I don’t hate their music, and most artists have one or two songs I kinda-like, but I just don’t really get all the hype. I’d say 90% of my normal playlist is songs from before 2010, just not that into much of the current stuff.
OMG.
I truly have found my tribe. These responses are super funny and fascinating!
I’d like to add James Corden (carpool karaoke), Amy Schumer, Swiss cheese, Chelsea handler, ambrosia salad, Taylor Swift, Costco, the “Twilight” series, football, breakfast burritos, baseball, Jimmy Fallon, camping, any insect, Christmas music in November, “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, peppermint/mint flavoured desserts… Star Trek… and Star Wars. I know those last two make most people I met say WHHA?!
American football, lawns (they are vaguely insulting), and the letter q.
S6nthetic Cherry (actual cherries are fine), real watermelon (sunthetic watermelon flavor is awesome), coffee, alcohol, children, Tolkien, Game of Thrones
reality tv, god
Cable TV, cilantro and raspberries
Lobster, pineapple, reality tv, toilet paper hung with the paper dispensed from behind/bottom of the roll, texting while driving (pretty sure I’d get years back from the delays due to texting.), vomiting. I’d rather be sick for days than vomit🤢.
‘Important’ authors. Eewww. New York. Los Angeles. Summer weather.
Parades. Never understood the point of standing outside to watch people march by. A televised parade is even worse. Yes, that includes the Macy’s Day parade.
Men. I don’t hate them, just not interested at all. I’ll consider individuals on a case-by-case basis.
Sports, Hamilton, drinking, loud music, crowds
Cats
Most television but especially TV Dating Shows, Big Brother, and all things Kardashian
Nailed It
Dan Brown books
Non linear video games
Avocado
Starbucks anythingaccino
Trump, doughnuts–they just turn into a lump in my stomach and then on my thighs! the new flat black car paint–saw a Tesla like that. It just looks like a car that’s not quite done being painted to me. I guess it’s the new “thing.” Downton Abbey, and pretty much every reality show on TV except Project Runway and Top Chef.
Watermelon, oranges, tea, yogurt, blow dryers, winter, sneakers when you’re not exercising, and turtlenecks
Cheese, Baked Beans (as a British person, I think I’m considered weird!), the ‘Twilight’ series, romance novels and ‘Game of Thrones’.
Cherry flavoured anything. Beer. Sitcoms.
I am enjoying all the comments :D.
Meat or any animal products. Suffering tastes bad to me. Commercials. Sales people. Real estate agents. High waisted pants.
Friends, Seinfeld, Golden or Gilmore Girls. Lime flavored candy, watermelon jolly ranchers. Storebought pudding. Ketchup.
Dresses and skirts, tight clothing, sweaters, reality tv, having a nasty judge on entertainment shows, hot weather, billionaires, using ask as a noun and other linguistic dumb downs.
Coffee, cookies, caramel…. an alliteration! Also, football and Star Wars.
Lord of the rings, sports, soup,pizza, red dwarf and alcohol
I developed an intolerance to chocolate in my twenties. I can’t eat it without massive headaches, and feeling like I’ve just eaten poison. But… I’m over it.
People act like it’s so TRAGIC that I can’t eat it because to them it’s magic and amazing and the only thing they ever want in a dessert.
Okay. That’s great for them! But I really have no interest or desire for chocolate at all.
And yeah, the fact that SO MANY PEOPLE obsess over it to the point that they HIDE chocolate in otherwise non-chocolate desserts (like salted caramel crunch ice-cream -with hidden chocolate chips-), can make me feel left out and at times even annoyed.
Yes, chocolate is great! Hurray!
Now keep it the hell out of my food.
Jeans, alcohol, coffee, tea, chili, very-spicy food, tight clothes & sweaters for me too, pop music, blockbuster superhero movies, and many other things but I don’t have all night.
Sports, coffee, alcohol.
Facebook, reality tv, sports, high heals, makeup, being a parent (No worries, I’m not one. The children I didn’t have thank me.)
Sports. Christmas. Chocolate.
Pumpkin spice lattes, unicorn food/drinks, lord of the rings books, podcasts, parties bigger than 8 people, Seinfeld, marvel avengers.
Football, Whataburger, wine/alcohol in general, ketchup, soup
Relationships. Single has been the best thing for my life and I wish I’d done it a certain number of years ago (2008).
Never read the bad reviews. With the following you have, you don’t need to. Like you said, if everyone liked you, you’d be mainstream, and mainstream is boring. 🙂
Reality tv (except DWTS). Wine. Sheryl Crow.
Love, The Other Jenny
Alcohol !
Cilantro
Football (I’m Australian so that’s worse than Texas), Beyonce (seriously if it wasn’t for the other two no-one would have ever heard of Destiny’s Child), Reality TV
Tom Hanks, and especially Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers—although I love Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s profile of Tom Hanks.
Also, Paul Rudd may be the blandest person on Earth.
French fries. This one makes people gasp and question my sanity. Then I’m like “what is this sanity you speak of” and we both laugh until we cry.
I quickly came up with a list of about 40 individual things before I realised that I should cut back. So here are my current top three from each category [which is more than 40 //insert facepalm emoji here//]:
drinks: coffee, alcohol, bottled water [it tastes gross and everything about it is horrible for the Earth];
foods: coconut anything [except for macaroons and Mounds bars], raspberries, cinnamon rolls;
movies: Grease, The Princess Bride, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off;
movie franchises: Evil Dead, The Godfather, Pirates of the Caribbean;
actors: John Cusack, Al Pacino, Bill Murray;
actresses: Sandra Bullock [except in The Proposal, Murder By Numbers, and Demolition Man], Judy Greer, Jane Krakowski;
TV shows: reality shows [except for a couple of things, e.g.The Amazing Race], Grey’s Anatomy, The Walking Dead [I still watch this and have from the beginning but the oversaturation and obsession is baffling to me];
male singers: Elvis, Bob Dylan, Geddy Lee;
female singers: most solo Beyoncé [I liked Destiny’s Child], most Taylor Swift, Anita Baker;
art: abstract, cubism, performance;
clothing: pointed-toe shoes, drop-crotch pants [the ones that fit everywhere else but for some reason the crotch is halfway to the knees], Western clothing [i.e. cowboy stuff];
makeup: orange/”warm” contour, obviously fake eyelashes [natural-looking false lashes are fine], foundation that doesn’t match the actual skin color;
sayings: It Is What It Is, Live Laugh Love, Keep Calm and Carry On;
holidays: Christmas invasion in stores [shouldn’t be in stores until AT LEAST the middle of November (actually I’d like to make it a rule that any holiday shouldn’t be in stores until a month before the date; no Xmas in October, no Valentine’s Day right after Xmas, no Easter in the beginning of February. etc.)], Thanksgiving [there’s nothing to celebrate about what happened to the Native Americans when Europeans arrived], 4th of July [any patriotic thing, really];
random: the entire concept of high end/designer things, purposefully-distressed things/stuff that looks “worn in” even though it’s new/expensive, The Muppets [I like some individual Muppets but on a whole, no]
I’m sure I could sit here and think of more and more but it’s 5am right now and I should go to sleep.
Cake/pies (too much of that when I wad young), pizza (yuck), skinny bottom slacks (I’m a kid of the 80’s but our jeans and slacks weren’t that skinny, and I’m way too fat to wear then), and soccer. I really don’t know what to say about soccer except that I really have a distaste for it.
Summer.
Milk chocolate. Give me dark or nothing at all.
Monty Python. Summer. Goldfish crackers. This feels very therapeutic.
Monty Python. Summer. Goldfish crackers or Cheez-its. This feels very therapeutic.
Sushi! Thunderstorms and being alone.
Bacon
pumpkin spice flavored anything. rom-coms.
Cheese cake, coffee shops, loud concerts.
Star Wars (love Star Trek though), Lord of the Rings and The Office.
Coffee. Black Friday. People in general. Sunbathing. Vegetables.
Turtlenecks, Harry Potter, Star Wars, TOFU
Jeans, licorice, Disney’s “Frozen,” chocolate cake, church, the movie “Grease,” and all the stuff that’s “supposed” to taste bitter according to snooty folks like dry wines, all the beers, and dark chocolate.
Cadbury Creme Eggs, Miley Cyrus, Circus Peanuts ( the marshmallow candy), the song Last Christmas (drives me insane!! 😂)
Professional sports, except maybe wrestling, cell phones, icy roads, licorice.
Pumpkin anything, including spice. StarWars. Cable.
Make-up, live theatre (sorry!), dressing up, avocados
Also mid-rise pants. Bring back mom jeans!
Long list. Noise, television, most movies, most cooked vegetables, romance books, being in a crowd, Hallmark movies, stupid plots, grammatical and spelling errors, people who complain about the weather, new to me foods, Christmas shopping, sports, scented products, incense, my pastor, …
Wow am I a grump! Hey you kids, get off my lawn!
Dickens. Flannery O’Connor, pickles, those tops with a hole where the shoulders should be.
Hot weather, wine, sports, most pop music, romance books/movies, CBD oil, essential oils, Instagram
The Sound of Music, mushrooms, horror movies, and I know this is very controversial, The Beatles.
Chicken dance, electric slide – any dance done in unison…
GOT=WTF?
Creamsicles – most fruit/cream combos
Jelly Rings (Jelly most things)
Popcorn (first bite is the best – it’s all downhill after that)
Local TV news anchors who think they’ll win an Oscar for over-dramatizing the news: “And NOW, a REAL, LIVE kitten in a tree!” If there are two anchors, they constantly look at each other for confirmation as they read from the teleprompter. Get over yourselves!
Reality TV.
Kardashians.
Fake eyelashes that look like a tarantula landed.
Orange juice.
Forced family gatherings at holidays when most of the relationships are toxic anyway.
Chin hairs (not talking about men here).
Beards (talking about men here).
95% of the people I know.
Game of Thrones, reality television, The Shining, wine, Starbucks. I am sure there is more, but off hand, these are the Not For Me things.
It’s funny how my instinct when reading things that people do not love is to try to change their minds.
Star Wars and sweet potatoes
Mushrooms. French dressing. Muscle cars that have automatic transmissions. Flip flops.
TV / videos / movies, podcasts, watermelon, strawberries, pies, and taking baths. It’s funny when someone (… my mother) tries to convince me that I do indeed like these things.
Condiments: ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, mayonnaise, etc. Please send all your Oreos to me.
Tattoos (even though I have a small one myself).
Pick-up trucks.
Country music.
Harry Potter.
I work retail so… Christmas. I have nothing against the holiday itself but I don’t understand the stress people put themselves through for it. I also don’t get the appeal of hot weather, FOMO (fear of missing out) olives, sports, make up and fashion, reality tv, and lying about your age. I’m 41 and I don’t care who knows it!
Oh and also being the center of attention for any reason. I like being appreciated but I don’t like having a fuss made over me or being the center of attention for any reason. My wedding was probably one of the most stressful days of my life.
Sauces (unless they’re really thick), jelly, jam, custard, purple skittles, and milk.
whoops accidently posted that under my husbands name (andrew juell) in the comment above could you please delete it?

Extra-dark chocolate, extra-hoppy beer, extra-spicy hot sauce, sour toe cocktails, or anything else that no one would ever consume except on a dare

High heels. Running. Plastic. Red meat. Pigs. Roller coasters. Large bodies of water. Coldplay.

Mashed potatoes
Wine, coffee, The Eagles, parades, Disney vacations, manicures, high heels, reality tv, Facebook, Christmas music, Christmas shopping, Christmas decorating, church services… I could go on for days.

Mushrooms (they are fungi! that grow in poop!! come on people); coffee; skittles; The Office (TV show – I just can’t do awkward humour)

I don’t like sunny days!! I’m a pluviophile☁😎
Oreos also, watermelon, coffee
I am totally with you on the original Oreos – blecch!

Star Wars. Just…meh. Not for me.

Dan Brown. I hate his writing. HATE. IT. I’m sure it’s not his fault and he’s a very nice person, but ugh.

Any one of the Peanuts holiday specials. Something about them just irks and depresses me.
Podcasts. Vlogs. Garlic. Root beer. Autumn & winter. Rain/thunderstorms.

Granite countertops, Lima beans, musk perfume, polyester clothing
Game of Thrones. La Croix. Too much sunshine.
Superhero movies, paper straws, Christmas – like the decorations, hate the expectations.
Coffee. Avocados. Coconut. Ice cream and yogurt with fruit in. Raisins in anything other than cereal.
M&Ms. The peanut ones are ok, but plain M&Ms are just terrible American milk chocolate inside a bad candy shell. Why.
Pumpkin Spice. The Real Housewives and Bachelor/Bachelorette franchises.
Religion. Scary movies. Niceness for niceness’ sake. Cloying children’s entertainment.
Olives, The Ramones, tomatoes, Real Housewives, loud restaurants, driving, melon of any kind
Cake, donuts, iphones, The Beatles (I thought I was the only one but I see I have some people above!)
It’s a Wonderful Life, Kardashians, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, donuts, infinity scarfs (I feel like I’m choking), and Star Wars. That last seems to insult everyone and question my worth, especially since I’m a huge Marvel and Harry Potter nerd.
Reese’s Pieces. Nascar. Asparagus.
Horror and creepy suspense movies (7 seriously nearly killed me ). Being on the front row rail at a concert even if I love the band. The b52s. Rock lobster is the worst thing ever. Lizards, spiders etc as pets. Sports on tv..

Seinfeld
Anime
Panera Bread
Ferris Wheels
Rap
I’m with you on the Tolkien and the sweaters. Boring and itchy, respectively. Also: women and expensive shoes and men and motorcycles. I don’t get either of those at all! And shows like This Is Us and Grey’s Anatomy. I see the value! I used to love Grey’s and This Is Us is very well done but I’m past the point in life that I can tolerate borrowed angst and suffering. So I just…don’t and I’m so much happier!
I could live forever without hearing the following words or phrases that everyone else seems to love using:
amazing
LOL
peeps
fur babies
Have a nice rest of your day.
Thanks for providing the forum to say so!
Peanut butter, selfies and any extremely inbred pet animals like munchkin and hairless cats.

I just don’t groove on:
superhero movies (or many new movies in general)
pop music (never have I ever seen American Idol)
video games (don’t even own a computer)
Dancing with the Stars (see comment number 2)
the cult of personality (I have publicly stated that I wouldn’t know Kim Kardashian if I tripped over her dead body in an alley)
Mayo, wine, Bachelorette or ANY of those shows, news of anyone’s “baby bump,” THE WORDS “baby bump.”
Scarves!
Coffee and peanut butter are my big ones. Anything melon. Ketchup unless it is with mustard on a burger. All things scary.
Nascar, football, beer pong, zucchini, lima beans and lobster.
Dave Matthews Band.
That song – Hard Candy Christmas… I just don’t think it’s a Christmas song and I wish they’d stop playing it.
Cilantro.
Summer, wine, hugs.
ALL seafood (Even if it’s “not fishy,” if it came out of water, I don’t want it. That includes lobster, shellfish, seaweed.) . I hate marzipan and almond flavoring with a passion (but I eat almonds). Manicures, dressy shoes (especially heels but flats too), handbags, wine, hard alcohol, tea. Sometimes people (I would miss them eventually, but I’d do better on a deserted island than most.)
Old movies shown at the holidays where current celebrities give their “take” on them; the recent Little Mermaid Live; anything Kardashian; reality television, period. Ugh Ugh Ugh
The Office, sea food, any of the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows, sloths, black licorice, Kanye, politics and people being offended by everything!
The Office, vanilla-scented things, flavored water, most social media.
Eric Clapton. I acknowledge he is a fine musician, but his songs just don’t do anything for me.
coconut anything. magical realism. christmas.
But I love YOU!
Oh yeah, coffee and chocolate.
Shrimp, oysters, red/green bell peppers (ruin the taste of everything else), Game of Thrones, being warm all the time, professional sports

Hemingway. Cacti. Heels. Pinterest worthy birthday parties for kids. Cats. Diets.
Marvel comics, DC comics, and the comic format/genre in general; eggs as standalone food; makeup.
drinking coffee (the smell is delicious), owning a car or a house, winning at sports or getting an award, dessert/sugar in any form, getting high or drunk. That last one might be because it was such a relief when I finally got stabilized on SSRIs. I’ll take feet solid on the ground any time, thanks.
I’m with you on everything but the Oreos!
Things I hate that everyone else loves: Game of Thrones, comic book movies, pickles, lobster, porn.
Professional Sports. Beer. Coffee. Weddings.
Reality television.
YES re: Tolkien! I read The Hobbit as a teen and was like, “Meh.” But people got so goofy-eyed talking about it aver the years, I picked it up again as an adult, figuring my dumb youth brain had missed it’s beauty.
I dragged that book around for three months trying to get through it. Everywhere I went, people saw the cover and said stuff like (swear to g) “Ohhhh, I wish I could read The Hobbit for the first time again. It changed my life! Enjoy this moment!”
It made me so sad because a) it wasn’t even my first time, b) I knew they were telling the truth, c) I was trudging through the most boring story ever.
Jenny, I love you! There isn’t enough room here for my list but I thank you and everyone else for their lists. I feel less weird but not sure if I want to feel less weird! Hooray for being different, for not wanting to be like others, for wanting to be an individual!
*Gift giving out of social obligation – listen, if you are giving me a gift because it’s expected just don’t, I have enough stuff. Let’s go do something fun together unless I don’t like you then a gift card is fine.
*The expectation that I am going to give gifts out of obligation. That’s a big nope.
*Just In Case gifts.
*The stress people put on themselves to pull off the “perfect” holiday. I prefer the stories like how Uncle Bob passed out in the snow while trying to taking a piss or the turkey caught on fire and nearly burned down the garage. Nobody is going to remember the perfect cranberry stuffing.
*Holding onto grudges. I forgive you, I just don’t want to be around you. Vice versa is cool too.
Avocados, The Real Housewives of Anywhere, clumpy eyelashes, complaint rock, snow, Tolkien, unsweetened tea
Most daytime talk shows, but especially Dr. Phil
Chocolate. Opera. Reality TV. I”m sure there are many more, but those three come to mind immediately.
Lemon, peas, game of thrones, horror movies, turtlenecks, abstract art, hard alcohol, pepper, Mickey Mouse, reality tv…
I never realized there is so much stuff that is popular that I don’t like!
Here’s an abbreviated list:
Olives, spicy food, country music, Claire Danes, raw fish, Fox news, and Kanye West
Pie (warm fruit makes me anxious), Back to the Future movies, The Superbowl, hot drinks, PSLs, mint and chocolate together. Ya’ll nasty
What a fun post, Jenny.
Febreze, unnaturally scented anything.
Excessive profanity. There are other words.
Greasy food. Fast food, except In-And-Out.
Amusement Parks, Famous People, Band Wagons, Make-up, and Thanksgiving.
Game of Thrones. Tom Cruise. Driving.
Parades, IPAs, icing on cake (plain cake only please), Breaking Bad
New Years. 99% of donut places. Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones. Honestly most TV that people love. Beer. Make-up. Beyonce and Taylor Swift. Reality TV that isn’t a cooking show.
Binge-watching TV shows in general (but especially shows like The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. Who needs all that yuckiness in their life?)
Horror movies (see above)
Halloween (the holiday) (sorry, y’all)
Spicy food
Beer (any form of alcohol, really–it all tastes like poison to me)
Dogs (yeah, i said it)
Camping
Pickup trucks
And pretty much any popular fiction book that has the author’s name printed larger on the cover than the title, lol.
The Kardashians. I’m sure they’re all very nice people, but why should we give a sh*t about them and their lives?
Also, the custom of hand shaking. It’s nice to meet you, but I don’t know where your hands have been. Please keep them to yourself. Thank God for Purell.
Chick Fil A. Just don’t get it.
Coffee
Mayo, pickles, IPA, olives, watermelon, artificial sweeteners, cherry pie
Oreos. Coffee. Sports. Star Wars.
Whipped cream, Mayo, Hot tea, and fruit pies like apple. I guess I have texture issues.
The Wizard of Oz – storms scare me, who thought flying monkeys were a good idea and a little girl alone with three creepy guys…uh, no. Hard liquor – it hurts and I’m pretty sure it’s poison, same for chili hot food. Pain NO LIKE!
I’m going to have to join in with everyone on the abstract art thing. Picasso? Nope. Rothko? Nope. Pollack? Nope. NO THANK YOU, SIRS.
Milk, Harry Potter, marmite, bikinis, babies, pet birds, quilting…
Reality TV.
Milk, Harry Potter, marmite, bikinis, babies, quilting
Massage, the Beatles, horror movies, alcohol, pumpkin pie.

Popcorn, Horror Movies, Mustard, Fried Chicken
White Castle
Avocado
professional team sports
(But I adore Tolkein and read LOTR every year or so)
Wine. Reality TV. Hallmark movies. People calling skinny jeans “skinnies” and sunglasses “sunnies”. Any video game.
Wow this is fun! Jazz. Hate it. Irritating noise. Yes to all those who say abstract or “modern” “art”. What a scam! People pay actual money for that garbage. Yes! Hated Lala Land with a passion. Also Ladybird. Ah, I feel so good saying all this. I could go on… but that’s enough for now.
Reeses, Super Heroes, Horror
Walmart, Beer, fancy cars
Thai food (it’s the coconut milk). Superhero movies. Uggs.
I’m not a fan of beer or pomegranate juice. All other drinks, I’m in!
Zombies, Raisins baked into anything, Sweat pants with words on the butt.
Freaking avocados.
They’re awful!
I can only eat it if it’s in sushi, and even then, sometimes I pick it out and hope the roll doesn’t fall apart.
That was easy! SOCIAL MEDIA!
Bows, ruffles, flutter sleeves, glitter, peter pan collars and other infantilizing details on clothing for women and girls. Bath products that make you smell like food. Business people and politicians who speak only in metaphors because for some reason they can’t just say what they mean. And probably most of the stuff above. I’m working on being a curmudgeon. 🙂
Can I have your Oreos?
Babies, toddlers, mayo, mustard. Lemon in my water. Spicy food. Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, reality TV, Investigation Discovery. American football. Strawberry ice cream or cake. Coffee. Anything that cream cheese has even THOUGHT about getting together with.
Star Trek. Disney.
McRib. Everyone I know RAVES about those things, so a couple of years ago when they came around again, I decided to try one. No taste, bad texture. The only interesting thing about it was the BBQ sauce – and that wasn’t great. Never again. And no one seems to understand my dislike.
Doritos. Downton Abbey. High-waist jeans/pants
Detective/cop shows, mushrooms, asparagus, liver, crowds of any kind, heights, really hot weather
First, I have to say please re-think Steely Dan. I just discovered them later in life and it gives me a really feel-good peaceful feeling when I listen to them. Things I don’t like – the Beatles, the Big Bang Theory.
Coffee, Vera Bradley bags, Pandora bracelets, the Rolling Stones, Kardashians
“Feeling cute.” Beer. Metal music (which is a difficult and complex music skill that doesn’t do it for me, so…. respect to you metalheads for your dedication). Having margaritas with a group of women I just met (it’s a thing, and I don’t get it, or do it). “Game of Thrones”. “The Watchmen”. Elton John. Black and white kitchens.
Sports, sushi, parties.
Beer.
Bacon. There, I said it. I’m not sorry!

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Papaya. Soft cheeses. Religion. Babies/ children. Reality TV. Running. Marriage.
Sigh. I’ve been waiting so long for someone to ask me this question so that I can finally get this off my chest without looking like a douchebag who’s all, “I just don’t get why you like that…” But I still feel like I’m going to break some strangers’ hearts when I say….
Dr. Who. Don’t get it. Not at all. Not even remotely tempted to take an afternoon to binge and figure out why people go nuts over it. Must be something there for so many avid fans, just not for me.

Avocados & tomatoes.
Relating to things 100% emotionally (vs. logically analyzing).
Loud, crowded events pumped full of energy.
Cruise ships (refer back to loud & crowded)
Political one-ups-man-ship on a personal level, professional level, national level, etc. I’m OK if you want to think you are better than me. I’m usually more comfortable hiding my strengths than flaunting them.

Pickles. Relish. Miracle Whip. Baths. Saunas. Having to endure any footwear that is not a flip flop. Vanilla candles.

Comic books. I understand and respect the art, language, story, and care that goes into them, and that they have inspired and entertained and even helped so many people.

Tom Hanks (sorry, Tom), pickles, ketchup, mayo, potlucks, sweet side dishes like yams with marshmallows (WHY?!?), tearjerker non-scifi/fantasy novels (why do I want to read a depressing realistic novel?), reality tv, and most autobiographies (I’ve read too many that are I’m wonderful and here’s everything fabulous I accomplished).

Young Adult fiction (book or movie versions), such as Harry Potter. Twilight, etc. Lord of the Rings series. Fast action movies, and Downton Abbey.
Cheesecake. Cats (although “hate” is a strong word. It’s more a dislike born of two rounds’ antibiotics due to cat scratch fever – damn feral cat bit the ex-husband first and he was fine. Maybe I had Scott scratch fever??)

The mere thought of Disney theme-parks or cruises. It nauseated me. Frankly, Disney in general, with very few exceptions, I find to be over-rated.
Cheese, mushrooms, olives, eggs, Michael Bolton.
he Beatles. I do not enjoy British people’s singing. My Beatles loving husband realized I absolutely despise British singers to the point where I can’t be around that ear trash. It’s something about how nasal they are, I’m gen x and have been drowning in this my whole life. God.
Christmas letters, like who cares. Stand up comedy shows on TV. Comedy Roasts on tv. They are vulgar. Rap. Kanye West and all the Kardashians.
The song “American Pie”, avocados, pickles, Daniel Day Lewis, Jack Nicholson, Big Bang Theory.

I have a story. This has nothing to do with things I hate, but everything to do with criticism.
Years ago my husband and I went to a quilt show and he saw a quilt that was made from purple, green, and cream colored fabrics. He asked me if I could make something like that for our bed. I said sure. Then I pulled together a bunch of fabric I had and bought what I thought was an acceptable cream solid from the fabric store because I needed it in a large quantity. When I showed him all that I pulled together his first comment was that the cream wasn’t “CREAMY” enough. NOT CREAMY ENOUGH. So I went and bought another “cream” that was fractionally CREAMIER than the one I had. And he approved of its creaminess. But it is years later and I still can’t make myself start the damn thing because I’m afraid that he’s going to nitpick every single farkin’ thing about the damn quilt.

Avocados, beer, SPORTS, Halloween, tiny dogs, designer anything, cherry flavored anything, almond flavored anything, eating…, Brad Pitt or celebrities in general, Friends trying to sell stuff (oils, nail polish, makeup, etc).
French fries!
As a Canadian (soon to be in witness relocation) – I despise Hockey and Tim Hortons and winter in general

The movie Titanic. And fondue.
Horror movies. The Bee Gees. Reality TV. Christmas. Celery. Michael McDonald.
Watching football, baseball, basketball, wrestling, golf, soccer, boxing, hockey… you get my drift. I couldn’t care less about any of the sportsings. Also, beer. You can infuse it with unicorn glitter and rainbow morsels and it will still taste like piss water to me.
Video games. Hot Pockets. Fruit Gummies. (much to my 8 year old’s dismay.)
The movie Titanic. And fondue.
Modern comedy. I just don’t get it. Parks and Rec, the Office, Big Bang, none of them are funny to me. I’m not too crazy about the actors either. I tolerated Chris Pratt in Guardians. I don’t get it.

Amyj19
amyjean19@hotmail.com
Harry Potter

do not like almond flavoring in anything and ANYTHING in my black coffee. I don’t like antibacterial anything, margarine, Trump, people who put food on my plate without asking, animals in cages who belong in a forest/savannah, (that includes birds), Trump, and horror movies. Among other things. The older I get, the longer the list gets.
Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Nice tune. Stupid words.
I hate over the top marriage proposals and the soldier surprising their kid(s) videos.
Bob Dylan. I get that he’s a ‘folk icon’ or whatever, but I can’t stand him singing. Or the harmonica.
Beer. Football. Sports bars. Reality TV.
Tim Hortons (I might lose my Canadian citzenship for this one)
Star Wars
Reality TV shows
Cotton candy, Gummies & similar candies
Talking on the telephone
Stupid Hallmark Christmas movies!! I despise them. Would rather poke my own eyeballs out than watch more than 15 minutes of one!
Taylor Swift, Award shows, Oprah
Harry Potter-refuse….
shirts with shoulder… holes, videos of people falling down or off of something, big everything foods–super milkshakes, mondo hamburgers with 400 toppings, etc.
I’m with you on the oreos. We have many better biscuits here but people still buy that wheat dust and sugar cement. eugh.
Pumpkin. Big Bang.
Dr Pepper; Brussels sprouts; frogs
Harry Potter… UGH, and why is he so popular entire FB feeds are dedicated to if you are a Slitern or Snuffleluffagus!!!?? vacations where you go places (home is a place), people commenting when you sneeze (bless you, are you officially ordained to bless me or is this a general heathen blessing and why bother in the first place?), handshakes (ew, I just met you, don’t touch me), watching TV every night (brain drain), spending holidays with family (toxic, toxic, toxic), TURKEY (it’s that time of the year where I have to tell everyone for the love of all that is holy I am not having turkey pizza but regular pepperoni pizza).
Coconut water, alcohol,eating seafood, coffee(unless it doesn’t taste like coffee-hello frappacino),
Star. Wars. I don’t get the appeal at all.
Also sweaters, football (American), the tv show “this is us”, Twitter, BBQ, greeting cards, and bonfires.
Pretty much all sports, receiving flowers as a gift, beer and wine, and Christmas music. I’ve also got a very strong, visceral yet completely irrational dislike of Don Cheadle.
I love this – I’m reading through and thinking, oh yeah, I hate that too! Although I’m amused by the hatred of Steely Dan; I didn’t know they were a big thing that everyone loved.
Anyway, for me – the band Journey (especially “Don’t Stop Believin'”), fish of any kind, reality TV, and like many before me, the movie Titanic.
Silicone in everything especially household and kitchen products, I can’t stand the texture. Lyocell, tencell fabrics, super soft microfleece, the feel of these fabrics literally makes my skin crawl. Music that claims to be rock and roll from the 90’s and 2000’s, but isn’t rock OR roll, it’s whiney emo music…. I’d rather listen to elevator music from the 70’s than that stuff. Anything from Oprah’s book club. Athelesiure clothing as street wear. Eggplants and mushrooms. Canned mandarins oranges in salad, or flowers. Fruit salad, but I love fruit by itself. Bananas in liquid form, like in juice, ugh! Wine, it’s too bitter for me, or margaritas. Fruit flavored yogurt. The trendization of just about everything sold in America for marketing hype purposes. Boy bands and teen idols. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, other social media with the exception of blogs, because blogs are like journals or mini essays.

Christmas crap, Game of Thrones, anything Kardashian or even remotely Kardashian, dark chocolate and cashews.
Anything even remotely fashionable.

Fancy restaurants, long hair, high end cars, fishing/hunting, wrestling, sushi, red wine
Chewing gum and lollipops, Arrested Development, Lord of the Rings, and YA fiction reading as an adult – seriously, my books need fucking and fucking swearing.
Ketchup, mayonnaise, hot tea, salsa, The Office, barbeque sauce or flavor, most reality television (unless it’s cooking; those don’t count), networking
Both opera and sportscasting, for the same reason: they both just feel like someone yelling at me and I don’t like it.

Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe/honeydew melons
Kpop music
Coffee, avocados, Seinfeld.
Pad Thai, tater tots, avocado, kettle corn, clubbing (the loud dance kind, not the baby seal kind. Though I assume the crowd here is largely anti-both, being a lot of introverts). Dystopian future books and movies also, to the dismay of my husband.
OMG, I can’t believe I forgot red peppers (I hate ALL peppers) and chilis in everything. I do not need jalapeno, chipotle, sriacha, habenero, spicy ANYTHING. I am sick of every damn thing coming with some sort of pepper or chili or both in it.
Credence Clearwater Revival. Vegas.
Seinfeld. Its just not funny.
Gory horror movies, ketchup, strawberries, stranger things (just have never felt the need to watch it)
Parades, outdoor music festivals, coffee

OMG, Yes on Tolkien. Ugh.
I also hate coffee. All of it. Everywhere. Yes, even that one too.
And I can’t stand alcohol. It just tastes awful. No, I don’t want to try this one. Yes, I’m sure you think I can’t taste the alcohol in it, but if I can smell it from 10 feet away, I ASSURE YOU I CAN TASTE IT.
Hamilton. Just shut up about it already!!
Oh, also crime shows and gory horror movies.

Cheese. Can’t stand it, except when it’s melted on pizza.
U2
Christmas, coffee, small talk, drama.
Had to add to previous list.
I love how reading thru the comments reads…. One person comments on some things and the next person mirrors those and then adds more, so the the third person has to do all of #1 and #2 lists and then their own…. could be never ending.
The Princess Bride (movie). Beer.
iPhones. Mushrooms. Uggs. PSL. Parks & Rec. Anything Star Wars.
Christmas and all the stuff that comes with it. 😐
Meatloaf (the food, the singer is good), mayo, grits, cottage cheese. I can’t stand the texture. Sitcoms, Game of Thrones, Dumbledore (the real Dark Lord in my opinion.) Those last two are made more difficult because I work in a bookstore. I just smile and nod when people gush over them.

iPhones. Star Wars. Alcohol in any form. All of the sports.
The 4th of July, hunting, football. I might as well be French.
Eggs, Brie, children (except a few), pickles. It’s totally weird to not like children much. There’s the odd one who is nice, but mostly they are boring & smelly & loud. I actually trained as a teacher, but found out in time that I don’t like them, and thus have saved hundreds of them from a horrible fate. (mean teacher)
Any & all reality shows, coffee, iced tea, zombies, cheese, Bob Seeger.
Thank you for validating my intense distaste for Oreos. I really was starting to think I was the only one.
I’m a theatre person that hates the musical “Hamilton”
hummus
Crunchy peanut butter, cake and ice cream (soggy cake, yuck!)
Seinfeld (the show, not the person). Running. Scented lotions.
“Cherry popsicles”
YEESSSS. Cherry flavored anything, really. I like CHERRIES, but that fake cherry flavoring is like just a big mouthful of chemical medicinal taste.
Avatar (the Movie, NOT the Last Airbender – that is awesome). Coconut (anything flavoured or scented coconut puts me right off). Friends (the TV show, not my actual friends – coz they are awesome). Twilight. People who loudly state that YA or Graphic Novels don’t ‘count as reading’ (I am a Librarian and I hear that waaaay more often than people would think).
Jane Austin, Reality TV, Maple anything, snap chat filters, those onesie jumpsuit things that adult women wear (what? really? why would you want to get totally undressed in a public restroom just to pee?), Any internet article that starts off with “You have been doing ______ wrong your whole life”
Any Donna Tartt book, including The Goldfinch; Disney corporation – they’re taking over the world; social media; electric vehicles – they’re not as environmentally sound as people think.
Sushi, cheesecake, beer, runny-yolk eggs, Beyoncé (yes, she’s talented, but I cannot listen to her songs). And I don’t get the mommy wine culture. I’m ok with missing out on all of them!
Cheesecake, football, Las Vegas, The Voice & peanut butter.
Game of Thrones! TV or book form. Wine and coffee. High heeled shoes.
Just reading all of your replies is cathartic! I am not alone in my weirdness. I love that you are honest and open enough in this safe place to really let it out! Thank you! Mine? SEX.

Ranch dressing,cookies and cream flavor anything, sex.
The whole ‘holiday’ season….EXCEPT I do enjoy listening to Transiberian Orchestra xmas music, I do NOT decorate, I do NOT go to the holiday bazaars, I do NOT send out cards, I do NOT exchange holiday gifts, I do NOT do the family dinner thing..ugh!. It’s the worse time of year for me and I go in to my ‘hermit’ mode and don’t emerge til after the 1st.

Hot beverages, brewed beverages (coffee, tea, beer), carbonated water/seltzer, cherry-flavored anything, pumpkin pie, Oreos (except Golden Oreos), The Wire (although I may give that another shot someday), doughnuts, beans (refried, in chili, in soup – don’t mind green or wax beans), books about time travel – the list goes on seemingly forever.

Not for me.

Things that are more than slightly sweet, tomatoes, manicured lawns, long sleeves.

I do not like The Beatles. I loathe Christmas. I am not a fan of popular music.

Men on dating apps who say they want a girl who “takes care of herself” as code for fit/pretty/polished. Spanx, the song lyrics “she doesn’t know she’s beautiful and that’s what makes her beautiful” (misogynist much?), and also the song lyrics “some people call me the space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love” (no. No, they don’t. Promise).

Bras
Fire pits
Football (team sports in general, actually), beer, makeup, beets.

Summer, pizza, Bob Dylan,beer
I’ll probably have my Canadian Citizenship taken away for saying this, but I can’t stand the band The Tragically Hip (or as I refer to them, The Tragically Shit). I feel bad because the lead singer died a couple of years ago, but just NOPE.

Summer!
Ketchup, avocados, and crocs.
I also don’t get the love fest for Tolkien.
Window treatments. I don’t mean you can’t have blinds or simple curtains to keep people from looking in. I mean full-on window decor.
Hair bleach and dye that’s trying to look natural. These are two middle-class social climby things that take tons of time and maintenance and money and no matter what you do you end up saying ‘maybe it would be better a few inches shorter and a shade lighter’. Yet millions take these social constructs so seriously.
And, by the way, I don’t get Frank Sinatra. The guy could really sing, at least when he was young, but the stuff was boring and he ended up sounding like a parody of himself.
Sushi, Disney, Chocolate covered fruit of any sort, Xmas music, selfies, babies, religion, Crocs.
Terry Pratchett’s writing. Which makes me sad, because many people I adore love it. But it just isn’t for me.
Condiments, Sci-fi, crowds

Christmas cards, Celene Dion, football, Facebook
ASMR, youtubers, love songs, avocado (and guacamole), eggs, mayonnaise, the BeeGees
Coffee and beer.
For some reason I’ve never been able to enjoy jam/jelly/preserves. I think it’s the texture and cloying sweetness? And the fact that they’re cold. Also everyone seems to be wearing Blundstones lately and I HATE them.
Snow, tomatoes, peaches, politics,
Judy Collins. She sounds off-key to me.
Coffee. Bourbon on the rocks. Friends shouldn’t let friends drink bourbon on the rocks. Red velvet cake.

Movies that have space in them. Not Star Wars franchise, but anything with an astronaut in it floating in space.
Holy Kamoly! I commented before I read everyone else’s dislikes. I agree with a huge number of you. I have been avoiding certain things so long, I forgot they exist. I also hate turtlenecks, Twilight series, raw onions, and beer-the smell as well as the taste. Yuk.

kale, decaffeinated anything, anything made of fleece, hoodies, clothing with words on it, spectator sports, reality tv that -doesn’t- prominently feature performance art

Disney anything, Girl Scout cookies, makeup other than mascara and lip gloss, 50 shades series, wine, dressing up…
sugary breakfast cereals. having my photo taken. the holidays (they suck for some of us). texting in lieu of phone calls.
The movie Hocus Pocus, onions, Clearwater Beach FL, talking on the phone, coffee, krispy kreme donuts
Love,stories, rom coms, someone else’s sex scene
Can’t believe I forgot to include medical shows in my first comment. I have medical PTSD. NO, I do NOT want to hear what happened in Grey’s Anatomy, because I don’t enjoy having the poop triggered out of me.

Thank you for letting me vent. Very few people can handle that list of mine 🙂
Football! And I live in the deep South. Everybody loves football but me!
Bananas
It’s funny, but “I’m not for everyone” is something I recently came to embrace as well. I kept trying to follow all these “mommy blogger” on Instagram and they would unfollow in droves and I was like…”Why don’t they like me? I’m a mommy who blogs!” and then I just figured you know…I’m not for everyone.
I fully agree with everything on your “I could do without” list. I would add: Perfume, musicals and leggings. (I still think everyone looks like they forgot to put on pants and I feel like we’ve taken a step back to medieval times where everyone just wants to wear a tunic and tights)
Donald Trump, watching the Kardashians (did I even spell that right?), news about the Royals (could we just leave them alone like we did in 1783?), drinking booze (fine for others, just never got into that scene like I never got into water skiing), going out to eat, and traveling.

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Stuck with “you gotta haves” And everyone is going to gain weight. I’m not crazy about a ton of leftover white turkey meat, rather have any of 6 other pies than pumpkin and why add rolls on top of everything and best ones are from scratch and involve hours. Hate having to start days in advanced to prevent being so tired that it’s not special to me when I get there.
But I love mashed potatoes, stuffing and green bean casserole- especially if someone else makes them 🤗

Oh Jenny! You totally remind me of where I live: Nebraska. Did you know that some marketing genius has given us the slogan: “Nebraska. It’s not for everyone.” You should come home/here some time! 😊❤️

I can 100% live without cinnamon rolls, Breaking Bad, televised sports, and soda.

I’m so relieved that there’s someone else who’s not a Van Morrison fan. Nothing against him personally, but I can’t stand his vocal timbre. My husband knows to change the radio station quickly if a V. M. Song begins…to add to my weirdness, I can’t make myself eat ground meat, ground tofu, or sausage (textural issue) I also dislike peanut butter cups, trucks, country music, or competitions of any sort – including but not limited to – sports. Fortunately, my list of things I really like is a lot longer!

Onions. I know people think they add flavor. But dear god, it’s like craving the taste of someone’s BO

I live in California wine country and I hate wine. So over pumpkin spice. Reality tv “stars”.
I don’t hate it but I don’t like ketchup, rollercoasters and watermelon

I don’t like beer or wine, coffee or tea – they have never appealed to me at all. When I went to college I met someone who kept going on about how I had never read “Catcher in the Rye,” as if it was the sort of thing that would appeal to me. I am familiar with the gist of the story and have never seen the appeal, so I have no desire to ever read it.
Disney, modern country music, the fact than no one on TV has real hair. teeth, nails, eyelashes or eyebrows.
I have 2 essays in draft form on my Medium. About things I hate etc, LOATHE and detest: Musicals, dark chocolate, soup, GAH SOUP.

Pumpkin spice anything.
coffee, sketchers footwear, scented candles, velour
being a fully put together, makeup done, work clothes on, hair styled woman to drop your kid off/pick them up from daycare. it just seems like a pissing contest to see who can be the most supermom and have all this done as early as possible.
Wine, ketchup, cilantro (I have that gene), pugs, and professional sports with the exception of the Olympics and ones with animals (polo, horse jumping, dog sledding etc)
Danielle Laporte.
Paying for air conditioning in summer
Turning the heat way up in winter

Dark chocolate
Putting extra ingredients in coffee
Hot coffee
Orgasms
Going somewhere on vacation just to sit around and do the same things you would have done at home

Mountain Dew
Game of Thrones
almost all alcohol (some beer / champagne is ok)
(un)reality TV
shoes – especially heels
pink Starburst
PB & Jelly mixed (separate they are awesome… together I’ll toss it in the trash)
show tunes, Harry Potter, white rice, cats (the play and the animal), parsley, raisins in cookies, people that meet you at a 4-way stop and it is their turn to go but they wave you ahead first like you are somehow in their way and everything would just be fine if they’d just follow the rules of the road and go on their turn
Cilantro – demon weed. The Kardashians, every last one of them. Sushi, come on, it’s just bait in my book.
I live in NE Ohio….Fall…I could totally do without. Give me spring 1000 times over.
Oh yeah…
ELF ON A SHELF!!!
Frigging Christmas decorations in stores in AUGUST
People who don’t take their Christmas lights down until March
People who drive 42 in a 45 mph zone
Kim Kardashian’s butt
Guys wearing pants half way down their butt
Country music
Current pop music with people who say words all weird (like “gooid” instead of “good”)
AMY SCHUMER
So many more…
Hummus, local tv network weather reports, white chocolate, the song “Sweet Home Alabama.”
hot yoga, Harry Potter, The Tolkein, ham, Christmas, milk chocolate, most TV programs, nuts in meat dishes, people on special diets unless there is a REAL medical reason, weddings, vampire movies
Casablanca (the movie), beer, fried food, annual office holiday party
Will Ferrell
Hallmark movies 🤮
Sports. Onions. Kale. Grocery store cake. Sitcoms. Adam Sandler. 4-Way Stops.
Coffee and wine.
Not liking wine can truly affect social events. At fine dinners I’m often mentally twiddling my thumbs while everyone else goes on about this great wine or that and I feel like an uncouth peasant because to me it’s fancified rancid grape juice. And is it even legal to visit France or Italy if you don’t love wine?
You can feel left out too if you don’t like beer. Which I also hate.
Coffee. Video games. Any of the sweets from the grocery bakery section. Wine. Beer. Hallmark channel. Romance novels. Mustard and mayo.
Eggs, Marvel and DC entertainment, cartoons of any kind, and Agatha Christie. There! I said it!
Olives and Adam Sandler; I just don’t get it at all.
television
Coffee. Beer. Elf on the Shelf. Branding/logos/lettering prominent on purses or articles of clothing. Eyebrow makeup.
I don’t understand how the smell of popcorn affects a lot of people. It doesn’t make me want to eat it, or drool or anything. I don’t even care to east much of it at all. I hate the way the husks get stuck in my teeth.
I also don’t understand why bathroom humor is so appealing. It just makes me cringe and feel crappy. Also movies that seem to assume everyone’s intelligence level is that of a 12 yr old boy.
My worst ever thing I detest? exercise. I never enjoyed it, just felt the pain, sweat and exhaustion, even as a kid.
I live in an Italian area, and there’s this Christmas song “Dominick the Donkey” that totally ruins the holidays for me! Don’t google it, you will regret it!
Another biggie is the adulation of people famous for basically nothing, like the Kardasians. Or the way “famous” people are almost worshiped. Why? Does what they do better life on earth? Why not admire teachers, or doctors, nurses, scientists, humanitarians, social workers, judges, people that make a difference, that can change the world?
Oh, and eating liver, or any organs for that matter. Just yuck, run far away.
But as my dd says, “Don’t yuck my yum!” LOL
Elf on the shelf, staged family photos, polar express, complaints about immigrants, white privilege, hanging out with people just like me, the phrase “boys will be boys” use of gender specific pronouns, assumptions, all inclusive resorts, cruises, Facebook, gossip, CCR, Eddy Money, 45 and how much time 45 takes up (let’s just vote him out of office already), how many candidates the democrats still have in the primary, manicured lawns, Botox, MAGA hats, fake tans, persecution of sex workers, Round Up, off season fruits and vegetables, prepackaged meals, microwaves, pumpkin spice anything, flavored coffee, perfumes, unnaturally white teeth, organized religion, the Dollar Store, New Years resolutions, selfie sticks, tour packages, carry on baggage, shiplap, Jetted tubs, Minivans, hockey, ice dancing.
Parades!
Oh yeah… and the Eagles.
Facebook, Christmas, sports, Diane Keaton
LOTR, Game of Thrones, avocado toast, mushrooms and white chocolate.
Disney World & mayonnaise. Just no. The first just sounds like a nightmare. And then my friend keeps buying mayo to keep in my fridge and I make my husband throw it away as soon as she leaves. I can’t touch the container.
pizza.
Twinkies. “love you to the moon and back”. “easy peasy”. Beer.
This is easy..>TELEMARKETERS! I get bombarded with them every single day. NO matter how many times I block their numbers they come back with new ones. The worst ones are the ones where the caller doesn’t even speak the same language as me. Please stop wasting my time!!
The height of fashion right now–skinny jeans and leggings. All it does is accent one’s body flaws. Overweight–it all hangs there and wobbles for the world to see. Skinny? it aggravates how skinny you are– you end up looking like a pencil with no interesting curves., And I am so tired of having to wear long, long shirts to cover the camel toe that would inevitably show if you didn’t. And in cold weather, tight pants/leggings do nothing to help keep you warm because there is no thermal layer of air between your skin and your clothes. Looser pants with some air between is a natural thermal layer. Duh.But hey, doesn’t matter if you look like a walking bowl of pudding or walking on stilts, as loooong as you wear what everyone else is. P.S. the fashion industry loves stretch leggings because no effort has to go into fitting them to different body types and sizes. PPS–do you know what the greatest amount of plastic pollution found in lakes is? Microfibers (a shite load), which come from your polyesters. If it’s plastic clothing of any type it will end up in your lakes, your oceans, your fish, your cattle, your world (article: American Scientist, Sept-Oct 2019–Sherri A. Mason).
Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, mornings, potatoes, working from home.
And The Big Bang Theory, of course, because that show is terrible.
Chocolate, coffee, tea. I have never eater a McRib and never will. I have an aversion to shaped meats. No dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets for me.
Steely Dan! Forrest Gump.
Yawning without covering your mouth. Twitter, Instagram, mushrooms, Starbucks, morning talk “news” shows, wearing leggings as if they were pants, bare ankles because visible socks are somehow no longer a thing.
The Beatles, white wine, “Live, Love, Laugh”
Les Misérables
and I love musicals in general
The Kardashians / Jenner families.
Celery
Harry Potter, Nutella, blue jeans
I can live without: Any kind of alcohol, Macarons (yuck), Game of Thrones, a second on Steely Dan, and shellfish
Summer, unscripted comedy, unicorns. So, a unicorn doing improv in June is, like, the ultimate nightmare.
L’Oreal’s Lash Paradise mascara. I just don’t get the hype.
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – couldn’t get through the first episode. I finally got so fed up at being told yet again that I HAVE to watch it, it’s so good! that I snapped at a very sweet coworker and almost made her cry and felt like I’d kicked a puppy. Still not watching it, though.
Disney.
Harry Potter, Horror movies and those TV shows that gag people or trick them for fun, how is that fun? Its mean and I really don’t get it. Most reality TV shows have this element so don’t get and don’t care.
Anything with pumpkin spice, babies, beer, mayonnaise, bananas, most any tv sitcom
Sting. Has anyone ever actually LISTENED to the words of “Every Breath You Take”? Full on stalker song. The opposite of romantic. Also, The Human League – “Don’t You Want Me”. Again, listen to the words. Dude, no one wants you. You’re a controlling, threatening jerk.
Things I could live without forever that the rest of the world loves:
alcohol
mac & cheese
Harry Potter
Jell-O
Game of Thrones
sportsball
Hootie
Black Friday
Country AND Western music
Skinny Jeans / low rise jeans / “jeggings”
pumpkin spice everything
All things Lord of the Rings – I appreciate the fandom, but just can’t get through it.
Will Ferrell
Bruce Springsteen! The color pink (sorry). Skiing.
Pumpkin spice everything, Marvel movies, reality television
Coffee, Wine, Beer, Cheryl Strayed’s book Wild (hated it with a fiery passion, yet I know people who think it’s the best book they’ve ever read), Mango, the world’s obsession with making everything scented (hello asthma trigger!), and single-use items, over-the-top and/or overly crude, reliant on potty-humour comedians/actors.
Neil Young’s music and graphic novels
I am late to the party, but my hates are: ABBA, why does their music endure, it was always mediocre. And pecan pie. And dry cereal.
Wine, beer, coffee, dresses, makeup, hairdressers or haircuts, football, ham, mustard, pickles. There’s so much more. I’ve been happy to be unique. And weird like the best of us!
Doritos.
Bob Dylan. Wine. Photoshopping pics. Online gaming.
PS: I’m glad you have a food taster of sorts for your reviews……….

Here is another: Subway tile everywhere. Ugh.
Disneyworld, Disneyland, Disney. Live music or concerts. Leggings.

The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and cilantro.
Cilantro, Rush, maple syrup (extra scandal because I’m Canadian), James Patterson
Videos of a band playing on stage at a concert posted on instagram. It makes no sense, I don’t know who the band is, I can’t really hear it anyway, flashing lights, sudden loud noise while I scroll. No thanks.
Strawberries!! Everyone says they’re so sweet and I just have to find one that isn’t sour, but I’ve even had ones others say are sweet and they’re still awful!
Mayonnaise!
Hot Apple Cider
Kombucha. Turtlenecks. Reality TV. Bleu cheese. Kathy Griffin and Gilbert Godfrey.
Anime
Pumpkin Spice!
The Ellen Show. I know, I’m going to proverbial hell…I just hope they don’t have vapid gushing, stupid games and (supposed to be heart-wrenching) giveaways or it will be real hell.
Greys anatomy, kale, bananas, avocados, hamsters and guinea pigs
Game of Thrones, salmon, SNL, SNOW!
Oh and Apple Pie
Fleetwood Mac, the way people spell things when they text, the Kardashians, Seinfeld, hops heavy beer, gin, morning television, and yoga teachers saying, “Namaste.”
Fall, winter, college and pro football, cold weather and too many layers of clothing, bare trees, gory Halloween things, and really all the winter holidays. Goat cheese, “French” as an adjective, eels, talent competitions, “mommy” as an adjective, lavender scented or flavored anything, Danish pastry, coffee cake, and Corvettes.
Oh, I forgot the important part. This is major. I didn’t let/have my children watch Mr. Rogers, it was so slow and it bored me. I have apologized to the children.
Ice cream, football, carrots, lipstick
macaroni and cheese. ugh. but i love you and glad to be in the company of weirdos.
Jazz. Jazz makes me itch. Flavored coffee. Yoga. no it is not going to help my pain. its going to make things worse. Bridesmaids- the movie. I didn’t find it funny, just cringey. Friends, Seinfield. also not funny. Reality TV with the exception of Top Chef and Great British Baking Show.
Coffee. I can’t stand coffee.
Reality T.V., video games, talking on the phone/gossiping, meat and any public gathering
Ketchup, the combo of orange and chocolate, football on television (in person is okay), leggings, jeans with holes in them.
Dark chocolate. Steak. Leggings.
Almost all condiments except Caesar dressing, coffee, Game of Thrones, egg nog, deviled eggs, coleslaw, potato salad, beef, chili, Christianity, Radiohead, Dave Matthew’s Band, Hootie and the Blowfish, beer, any fruit pie, Stephen King.

Advertising for prescription medicine, dyed hair, beards longer than 1″, unsafe footwear, verbs used as nouns (and vice versa), any audible sound coming from someone else’s cell phone, singing/whistling/humming in public or at work, cannabis billboards (and newscasters using the term “pot”), deviled eggs, chicken wings, rap/hop “music”, publicly visible piercings and tattoos, and several things (alcohol, avocados) previously mentioned by others.

Ohhhh, this list is long. But such a relief to be able to tell someone.
Foods and drinks: Bacon, coffee, pumpkin spice anything, melon, pickles, eggs, mayonnaise and Miracle Whip, BEER, onions, tomatoes, peppers, avocado (except guacamole), ketchup, olives. There are more, but I’ll leave it at that.

Bacon, coffee, BEER, tomatoes, onions, peppers, avocadoes (except guacamole), melon, eggs, pickles, mayo/Miracle Whip, pumpkin spice everything, ketchup, olives.
Miscellaneous: Snow, winter, kids, dogs, monkeys (they gross me out!), Oprah Winfrey, flip-flops, essential oils, goats, Birkenstocks, sweatpants, loud music, the uneducated masses.
avocado toast and Facebook
Donald Trump. Sorry, not sorry.
Television. Beer. Social events. Makeup/nail polish.
Coconut. When the local sports team is winning and everyone’s wearing team shirts and I just don’t care but feel a little left out.
Also, Jenny – this is a brilliant thread idea! I’ve so enjoyed reading these responses!
Led Zeppelin. . . I will literally cringe when I hear it. My late fiance L9VED them and would drone on about their virtuosity. It was one of those times when you roll your eyes and find a reason to be elsewhere.
Disney, sports, the radio
Celine Dion and Christmas.
I’m in on turtlenecks. I would also like to add adulting but I suppose that’s unavoidable. Thanks for being you. We all love you.
I’m in on turtlenecks. I would also like to add adulting but I suppose that’s unavoidable. Thanks for being you. We all love you.
It’s a Wonderful Life. Can’t get through more than half of it before Jimmy Stewart’s over-acting ruins it for me. I think he was a lovely man in real life, one of the best of his era, but I just can’t stand his acting style.
Salads with fruit in them (unless it’s slathered in whipped cream – that shit rocks!)
I had a girl scout meeting yesterday and did this activity with my 6th graders to talk about the fact that we all like different things — and that some people won’t like what you create. We’re working on a screenwriting badge, so it fit well. Thanks for the great idea!
Steely Dan (totally there with you), the song “Horse with No Name” (worst song EVER), anything Kardashian, superhero movies, “It’s a Wonderful Life” (so depressing), Disney , most hip hop, James Joyce, Carol King’s voice (she writes good songs; she just shouldn’t sing them), and the current Republican party
ha, it feels good to write these down! In no particular order:
-alcohol
-E-scooters (no they are not eco-friendly. If you’re able to walk, do it! That’s the greenest solution for short distances)
-fast food
-stretch fabric (does it stretch? then it’s full of plastic)
-fancy workout clothes (no need to look sexy while you sweat, it’s just another excuse to spend money)
Deer/anything hunting (except for survival). Starbucks. Game of Thrones.
Ketchup, mustard, mayo, ranch dressing, video games, tattoos, facial piercings and ear gauges
I forgot lavender. I HATE the smell of lavender!
Bananas, cola, Christmas, reality tv, Shakespeare. And I absolutely love that almost all of these has been mentioned before, because they’re really weird things not to like. I don’t actually think I’ve ever met anyone who didn’t like bananas or some variant of cola. Now I know I’m NOT alone 😀
k-pop, pineapple on everything and pineapple flavor, hemmingway, medical dramas (with one exception, i do like The Good Doctor,) and crime dramas, spicy food, the macy’s thanksgiving parade and all parades.
i mean… i like a lot of things, but also… i don’t like everything.
The Beatles. There, I said it. Barf.
Hemingway and Faulkner
Beer, coffee, tea, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, olives, fish/seafood, runny eggs
country music, horror movies, true crime, superhero anything, Big Bang Theory, The Kardashians
makeup, fashion, politics, religion, most sports
FaceBook, Instagram, Pinterest
following news of any sort
microfibre anything
*Jenny, thank you SO much for asking this question. Responding to it feels so liberating, as more than a thousand comments have validated thus far! * 🙂
Reality TV especially the Kardashians, they are just horrible people.
Gah I forgot to note ripe bananas and pumpkin pie!
Faulkner, reality TV, true crime, sports
Wow, I used tagcrowd.com to filter the top 100 words on this thread so far (minus words such as “comment”, “like” or “anonymous”):
alcohol avocados babies bacon bananas beatles beer books butter cake cats cheese children chocolate christmas cilantro clothing coconut coffee country cream dan dark disney dogs donaeurtmt dressing drink dy eat eggs facebook family flavored food football friends fruit game harry heels holidays horror iaeurtmm ice itaeurtms jeans kardashians ketchup kids life live makeup movies mushrooms music olives oreos pants parties peanut people person pickles pie potter pumpkin read real reality salad shoes shopping shows social song spice sports star starbucks steely stuff summer sure sushi sweet taste tea television thrones tolkien turtlenecks tv video wars watching water wine world years
Black coffee, milk chocolate, poor drivers, and beer. And I live in Wisconsin.
Chicken (to eat, they’re pretty cute as birds doin’ their thing but I think chicken tastes too chickeny),Star Wars, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and, ET.
Using “it’s” when you mean “its,” especially if you know the difference and don’t care.
Those sweet hot milky drinks with whipped cream and caramel “swirls” on top.
Ear gauges…can’t even look at them.
Tattoos.
Selfies. And the word “selfies.”
The song “The Hotel California” gives me shivers — a long bad story with this song. Peanut Buster Parfaits for a similar reason. I hate when people “lol” FOR NO REASON, or because they are afraid to just write what the mean without softening it. Wine is gross. Hard alcohol makes me scream from the pain. High waisted jeans. Low waisted jeans. The excessive arches on my flat feet when I wore Birkenstock’s. People who REVIEW THINGS ON AMAZON AND ONLY WRITE: “I don’t know, I didn’t buy it.” THEN WHY ARE YOU ANSWERING, KAREN??? 🙄
U2, Tom Cruise, Pretty Woman,
Beer (go figure), trump, other stuff
Jenny – what a great way of thinking and a great topic! People have really sparked about this!
For me: parades, fireworks, following a sports team, waterparks and swimming, bathing suits, Christmas, getting a haircut, reality tv, practical jokes, sparkling water, olives, Andie MacDowell,
“keep calm” and anything, etc. 🙂
Sushi
This is Us
“Just saying”
Bread
Always and forever – i hate it so much it’s down in my baby book under disliked in all caps, underlined and exclamation points
Coffee taste like dirt. No seafood of any kind (yes, that includes Lobster and Shrimp and no, NONE OF IT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN). Halloween. Any kind of televised sport. Exercise.
I could do without most team sports, with the possible exception of soccer played really well. Don’t get why people go so nuts over it.
Religion. I envy people who believe in a God who handles all things. “Let go and let God.” That there’s an afterlife so no need to worry or grieve the dead. My son died over a year ago and if I believed, I would know he’s in another place, not just dead. And perhaps I’d be able to get over it.
I forgot to add bottom hamburger buns, Just the bottom ones. I will not eat them. I always eat my plain cheeseburger like an open faced sandwich.
Anime.
I hate alcohol, weddings, baby showers, Christmas and Christmas music, country music, winter, makeup, dresses and skirts, spicy food, inflatable lawn ornaments, texting, leggings, i Phones. Being called ma’am or lady, or miss.
I never got the hype around The Hunger Games or Frozen.
Also, when I got my first bad review for my first book, I told myself that even the best sellers and things like Star Wars get bad reviews. That made me feel better.
Willful Ignorance
Professional football!
OK, there are more things…maybe I don’t “hate” them, or maybe not “everybody” loves:
Disney: Disney films, Disney toys, Disney products, Mickey Mouse club (although I can enjoy Disneyland)
slice-of-life reatlity shows, such as “Real Housewives” “Jersey Shore” ad nauseum
babies/small children (this is a “don’t hate” but just don’t get–especially newborn pictures…they aren’t cute!)
souped-up cars/trucks
Rom coms
TV and movies
Catcher in the Rye. Tolkien. Coffee. Mushrooms. Hot tubs. Bananas.
Sweat pants, bath bombs
Apple pie, watermelon, and casseroles. Non-food- This Is Us, football, and jewelery
I cannot stand the taste of coffee (even in ice cream form), but I love the smell of it. I also don’t like the Beatles, although I don’t mind their songs when performed by someone else.
Hot liquids of any kind, fruit punch or bubble gum scented things, anything that is banana flavored (but I like bananas – go figure), people talking about their toes, reality shows of any sort but ESPECIALLY shows where people try to sing, people who flap their hands when they sing…
Oh, the list goes on and on. Thanks for this safe space to vent and to see that we are not alone in our lists!
The Office
Reality shows
Steve Carell comedies
Will Ferris humor
Catcher in the Rye
Beer
Shellfish of any kind (not allergic, just don’t like the texture)
Oh, I forgot, Starbucks coffee. I like the other stuff, but their Pike’s roast beans are totally burnt tasting to me.
I agree with you on Tolkien and Oreos! I also don’t get the obsession with Game of Thrones.
This feels like some sort of confession! I think I’m an alien because there are things that I can’t stand (and can not even understand the appeal) that EVERYONE else loves and it makes me feel like I might not actually be a human. I hate: coffee, alcohol, music, pets.
Things that others love that I don’t get:
Running (like, as a hobby/career)
American Football
Basketball
The Wheel of Time series
Actresses like Megan Fox
Anything to do with the Kardashians
Cilantro
Working a typical 8-5 job and striving for a career. Traveling. Putting on makeup.
Tomatoes. Salmon. Sushi. Sweating. Probably lots of other stuff, but that’s all I’ve got for now 🙂
Dr. Who. I know it’s a favorite of yours. I wanted like it. My mother likes it. I just can’t get into it even after watching the first two modern seasons.
Such brave answers. Cheese, seafood, math, mushrooms, cilantro, sleeping, Christmas, spicy food, milk, skittles, captain america, going to parties and me. Most people think I am funny and smart and like talking with me and stuff….but I am bipolar so most of the time I am giving myself the side eye cuz …I cannot be trusted.
Titanic Movie! Bras; t-shirts (especially with logos); hot sunny days, cactus plants, wool blankets, showers
sushi. and pretty much all seafood except shrimp
Wine, the Kardashians and modern art.
Taylor Swift. Game of Thrones.
Starbucks. Pretentiousness taken to the extreme. and those aren’t even real sizes!!!

Elevators
Fish all sea creatures as food… like them to look at not to eat
Country music
Beer
Working unless it’s fun job or for myself
Football
Beer, seafood, Harry Potter
Sports. Small children. Classic books. Dogs. (Sorry but I don’t get the appeal.) Coffee. Carbonated drinks. News. Dr. Who. Fantasy books. Video games.
Coffee, Friends (the tv show, actual real friends are great), Disney
I don’t like coffee but love cappuccino. Also don’t like horror movies (being scared is not my idea of entertainment), the Kardashians, video games, any of the Bachelor/Bachelorette dating shows, cheeseburgers.
I could forever do without football, reality TV, scary movies, ranch dressing, sushi and spiders.
Pineapple in food, coconut in food, candles that smell like ANY kind of spice at all or have names like CALMING BEAUTY, or chamomile tea that is cootied with orange peel or rose hips
Green Peppers, SciFi anything, sweet smelling candles, DISNEY (and I just had a baby, Lord help me).
Pumpkin pie and egg nog. Just no
Coffee, hot tea, Hallmark Christmas movies, rosemary (tastes like licking a pine tree to me), Seinfeld, Friends, the Office, most carbonated beverages,Nutella, seafood, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, running/jogging. Oh and Dancing with the Stars.
Cheese. When I tell people I hate cheese they often act like I am insane or trying to offend them, but I Just. Don’t. Like. Cheese.
Chocolate cake/icing. Gimme vanilla, lemon…almost anything else and you’ll have to fight me for a bite.
Star Wars, tv in general, career politicians, movie star activists who use their fame to influence others instead of their time and money to make a difference, polyester
The Great Gatsby, Romeo & Juliet, Mad Men, Jack Nicholson, mushrooms as a substitute for meat, summer, Southern California, BMWs.
Nutella, mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, mustard, pumpkin spiced anything
Sheet cake, icing roses, pizza, beer, celery.
Avacados! They are mushy and flavorless– what’s the deal?
Bacon. Fried fat… yuk!
Hazelnut anything
Almost every aspect of Christmas.
Sports. Of any kind.
Bacon and spaghetti sauce (Which everyone in my family LOVES) I make it then eat the garlic bread)
Bacon. Coconut. Scary movies. Cocker spaniels.
So many great ones but I absolutely cannot believe there is someone else out there who hates Journey!

Football, reality TV, any kind of peppers, ranch dressing, tequila, Robert Plant’s voice.
Oh, and any temperature above 80 degrees F!

fancy restaurants. facetime/skype
Fuzzy socks. Or any socks really.
Butterfingers and The Gilmore Girls. Especially Lorelei.
Ice cream!
Dave Mathews Band. U2 for that matter. Seafood. Game of thrones (though the first book was good).
The smell of gasoline and polecats aka skunks, listening to the elderly talk about their prime, dill pickle martinis which I drink after listening to those stories!
The Kardashians, Jimmy Buffet and Beyoncé
Christmas. Meh.
Craft stores and everything they sell. Squash. Cranberry sauce. Flat sheets on beds.
Pants, cooking dinner, outside (it’s too peopley)
Adele. Shiplap. Property Brothers. Any song by Adele.
Onions. And people get genuinely offended when you say you don’t like them and try to convince you you do. “oh, you’ll love them cooked!” No, no I won’t. “oh, but you’ll love it, I cut them up small!” Did you turn them into something that isn’t onions, because otherwise, no. “But they give everything it’s flavor!” Yes, the only food in the world with flavor is onions. Or the alternate (often tried by the same person right after explaining they are the flavor) “but you won’t even taste them!” I don’t get it, just let us onion hates hate them, please? 😉
Facebook!!! We are all turning into pillars of salt. Trust me on this.
“Real” Housewives of Anywhere. Chocolate.
I don’t believe gluten intolerance is real. (Celiac disease is real) I think gluten intolerance is made up by people that don’t want to tell anyone they think carbs make them fat because people now roll their eyes so hard it pulls muscles when they hear that. I can’t name a single person with a “gluten intolerance” that isn’t white and upper middle class.
Summer. Too much sun and heat (gives me migraine) and sweat (oh the smell) and noice/light (no sleep, so tired). Yep. Weird.
Shopping. Brand name accessories. Elmo. Steak. Mandatory society. Baby showers. Starbucks. Ross from Friends.
Beer. Country music. Reality TV. Football.
Baby Yoda
Nutella. I like hazel nuts and frosting, but the idea of Nutella just doesn’t do it for me.
Pedicures…they tickle then hurt. Hillary. Except Lady Gaga, any singer under 30 who uses autotune, reality tv, nutella, coffee, and scary movies
Harry Potter, wine, beer, Nutella, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and romantic comedies…..
Celebrating, or even acknowledging birthdays. I just don’t see why the day you were born is “your special day” and I try to keep my birthday as low key as possible. I wish I didn’t have to worry about keeping everyone’s birthdays in mind so I don’t forget to wish them a happy birthday.
Star Wars, dresses, eggs, SUVs
I love to hear that I am not the only person who dislikes Oreos. Every time I say that, I get so much hate. I am also anti-coffee and beer. Love tea…I have like 20 varieties and I can drink the heck out of most hard liquors, but beer and coffee are gross (to me).
Dr. Pepper
Labyrinth, Jeffrey Tambor, teal, the smell of flowers
Designer clothing, 80s Hair Metal, “reality” TV, Harley Davidson, fandoms.

Crack cocaine
Sushi, shrimp, oysters, Tolkien books & movies, being handed a baby without being asked
game of Thrones – I’m glad i’m not the only one. I just don’t get why ppl hype it up so much.
Avocado on it’s own is a Big NO for me, just the thought of the Texture makes me nauseous. Guacamole on Toast i like though.
Marvel/superhero movies
Small talk. I prefer deep/real talks more.
Football games. Nah they’re bring as hell to watch.
Ketchup
Musical movies. High school does’nt count!
Star Wars, smartphones, SpongeBob Squarepants (especially the memes), superhero films, Super Mario (especially when every online cartoonist is drawing him constantly.) Those all began with S.
Also Sonic the Hedgehog – another S.
Starbucks, Post Malone, The Property Brothers, tight leggings, ground beef, driving, Sitting through movies that aren’t my specific interest, watching memes, hot dogs, riding bikes
I’m 76 years old and I have never even heard of some of the things people hate but others supposedly love. Many of the things others hate, I love, but I also share a lot of hates. I love dark chocolate, red wind, popcorn. Person who hates eggplant should have a really good eggplant Parmesan. I made it a few times years ago. Lot of trouble. A man I used to work with (Italian ancestry, great cook) brought it to work several times and it was fantastic. I hate sports, most current movies, all current music, celebrities, anything related to “pop culture”. Don’t really like exercise either, but you better do it if you want to maintain your mobility – very important as we age. Luckily, I love being in the woods, so hiking is very acceptable to me. Not camping. Love to walk in the woods, but I then want a hot shower, good dinner and comfy bed.
Pizza. Why do people even like this food? I think it’s a piece of trash.
Star wars!!! What is that fim and what’s with the hysteria around it?
Babies. I have nothing against them but I don’t want one. People seem to go especially nuts over mixed race babies.
Fall. It’s okay. I don’t understand what the big deal is though.
Europe. Same.
Sunrises. Same.
C.S. Lewis. (Can we all find someone else to quote please)?
Pit bulls.
dogs, tattoos, white claw, running, beards, high-waisted bathing suit bottoms or pants, salad
