    White wine is way too acidic, the same with cider. I can't go near either without getting bad heartburn or stomach cramps.

    Also, shirts and slacks are something I avoid like the plague wearing. They just make me look old and boring.

    Music.

    I don't dislike music as a whole but it does very little for me. I know it makes some people feel emotional or see colours but i just hear sounds.

    I like watching live musicians make music but I'd never just sit and listen to music in earphones. It's mostly just an inconvenience to me and gets in the way when trying to chat.

    I know some people have different music for different emotional states and it can help them through tough situations. But I don't experience music on that level at all. If someone told me there would be no more music from now on I'd probably say "meh".

    Coffee. Can't believe how much business revolves around something so rotten to the taste.

    Tea. Horrible taste off it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭ShatterAlan


    Brennan's white bread. Tis muck.


    Depends on what you put in it.


    Take two slices of fresh Brennan's sliced pan and toast them and then slather on the butter so it melts into the hot bread. Then put 2 nicely grilled rashers in the "69" position, close sandwich, push down hard and consume with boiling tea. Rinse, repeat.

    Yeah I really don’t get the tea buzz at all, never have. People seem to be dying for it. Hate being asked - no, I don’t want tea I’m not your granny!!!

    People look at you like you couldn’t possibly be Irish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭ShatterAlan


    You're all a bunch of fcuking weirdos.


    What I crave right now is a Brennan's Bread bacon and cabbage and fried eggs triple decker sandwich, extra butter and throw in some onion slices too. Mash an avocado on the side to give it a guacamole mexican dimension. Dessert....ice-cream with almonds.


    What's WRONG with you people?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,671 ✭✭✭GarIT


    Dogs, or pets in general. They're dirty why would you want that in your house.

    More people seem to be into coffee these days though, which thankfully I do like. But yeah I remember people looking at me as if I had 10 heads when I said I don't drink tea. And then they offer you a cup of milk as an alternative. :confused:

    I went on a date once with a guy who was "allergic" to music. We met in a bar and there was music playing quietly in the background. The first thing he said was sorry about that racket, I can ask them to turn it down if you like. I thought he meant because it was Coldplay and almost said yeah please do :p
    Anyway, he went on to say that he's allergic to music, he can't stand it and it brings him out in hives. I thought he was joking but his neck was all red and blotchy and he told me it's called
    Misophonia. Technically it means allergic to sound like someone tapping their foot or drilling but for him it was any and all music.
    I knew there and then it wouldn't work cos I'm a music fanatic but found that interesting.

    Maybe you have misophonia El dude?!

    Onions, their immature offspring and their Welsh cousins Leeks. Yet in this country they put onions into every fuÇking thing because they are cheap, every pasta sauce that no Italian would dream of having an onion in, mushroom soup that has more onion than mushroom, inside burgers.
    It's disgusting.

    butter on bread/rolls

    Sauces on food.....if you need either of these,what your eating isnt nice


    I'd like to see you try to sell that logic to a michelin star chef.


    Sauces enhance the flavour not mask it.



    It's hard to justify saying that a humble potato isn't nice because you pour some gravy on it which elevates the spud exponentially.

    Golf - playing it or watching it even worse

    An expensive way to ruin a nice walk

    That's amazing! I've heard of misophonia but i didn't know it could have physical effects like that.

    I lived with a very noisy eater and he annoyed me, but it sent my other housemate into a rage. Like he just couldn't help it, it was visceral, like a someone grating his brain. He might have had misophonia too.

    I just don't like music. I don't get the good that other people get out of it so it's just unnecessary noise to me.

    If someone told me they were allergic to music I'd have assumed they were talking nonsense, but that's a great anecdote.

    Rap! I don't understand how talking to music is considered singing.

    Spuds are pretty shyte though. Unless they're roasted or fried until they have a caramelised outer layer, they're usually shyte. Not a good national vegetable and we tend to just boil them like it was 1840. I wouldn't miss spuds if they disappeared either.

    It's poetry set to music. Same principle as any other song. I thing they rarely go together. Instrumental music or spoken poetry are usually better separate from each other. Singing over music is a stupid idea in my opinion. Ruins both the poem and the music and just comes out as mixed noise.

    Oysters and all raw fish, like in sushi with cold slimy rice.
    I love herring which is rarely in the shops. One day in Lidl I saw rolled up herring fillets in a jar, from Poland. Oh my God. They were raw and FOUL.
    However I love those little whitebait fillets in vinegar you get as appetisers.

    Any sort of fish for me, can’t get my head around eating it, or anybody wanting to eat it...

    Looks absolutely dreadful.

    The texture of it is dreadful.

    The smell is woeful, vomit inducing.

    The taste is filth.

    Apparently noisy eaters are the main trigger for people with misophonia. I found it really interesting too. My date was visibly uncomfortable and squirming in his seat even though the music wasn't that loud. He jokingly said I wanted to ask you to meet me somewheer outside like a park but didn't want you to think I was weird! This was pre covid when meeting in a park on a Friday night would have been considered weird! Can only imagine what a Metallica concert would do to the poor guy or a weekend festival, he's lose his mind!

    Beer-yuck
    Cats
    Many many things on Netflix that people keep recommending, peaky blinders most notable.
    Chicken fillet rolls-never had one.
    Tea.
    Salads

    Game Of Thrones. It's like amateur porn mixed with something out of a Saw movie. Then there's the flying dragons. Dafuq.


  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭trixi001


    I agree with many of the above

    Ketchup & Mayonaisse
    Fish (although i do force myself to eat salmon because it is good for me..but can't stomach any other type)

    In a way - Music - but i do like live music, but i would also rather chat than listen to recorded music..

    Other things i don't like:
    Nightclubs
    Amusements Rides
    Fancy modern hotels
    Fashion Trends

    Gadgets & electronics

    Branston pickle.
    Most relishes.
    Vinegar on chips.
    Salt and vinegar crisps.
    Tomato ketchup.
    Mayonnaise. Although coleslaw is nice.
    The smell of cooking meat.
    Frosties, sugar puffs, all those cereals - vile.
    Marzipan on Christmas cakes - why?
    Mince pies - Cheesus...
    Kefir.
    Brandy.
    Caffeine.

    I love avocado. Every vegetable and fruit. Except for glace cherries in cake which are beyond disgusting.

    There's more. But sure lookit.

    Me too. I think coffee is rancid. Even the smell of it makes my stomach heave.

    Great to find a kindred spirit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,667 ✭✭✭YellowLead


    In full agreement on the marzipan. Funnily enough I don’t think I've let anyone who actually likes it!
    Nothing worse than getting a marzipan sweet unbeknownst to you out of a box of chocolates...

    I do however like Turkish delight...

    I wouldn’t mind if it was just talking. Instead, it’s shouting incoherently with every second word being a profanity. How this rubbish is classed as ‘art’ is beyond me.
