Popular things you aren't fond of

    So as the title suggests, what popular things are you not crazy about? For me,

    1: Chicken fillet rolls. I know, very controversial. I think they're fine but would never crave one really. I see their appeal for sure but not that into them myself.

    2: Monty Python. I pretend to like it and when I was younger would have more fun quoting the movies with my friends rather than watching them.

    • People who post lists of popular things they don't like
    • People who dislike other people posting list of popular things they don't like
    • People who point out that posting a list of popular things they don't like that includes the topic of other people posting lists of popular things they don't like is hypocrisy
    • People who hypocritically post lists of popular things they don't like that includes the topic of other people posting lists of popular things they don't like, but are self-referential about that hypocrisy.

    I could go on...

    Reality & talent TV shows, including Dancing with the Staff, which I abhor. Station changed immediately.

    Loud concerts as I have noise sensitivity, although I enjoy music.

    Sport. (though I have enjoyed taking part in adventure sports)

    Particularly tedious, humourless & predictable social media posters

    Bots

    Going out. No thanks.

    Pubs. No thanks I just hate the smell of drink.

    Coffee. Can't stand the stuff. Horrible vile stuff.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I'm in the minority here, but I'm not fond of...

    Lord of the rings/ Dr Who/ Star Wars/ Game of Thrones

    Spicy food

    Hurling


    Possibly controversial opinion, but I'm also not fond of "Disney Adults" (an adult who is a devout fan of The Walt Disney Company).


    However each to their own, as I'm sure there are many things that I'm into, that others would not be...

    At this stage there's nothing you can say, it can't get any worse when you get funny looks from Italians when you ask for no cheese on your pizza.

    Cooking - I do it out of necessity and the fact that it's beneficial for your health and your wallet, but I find the whole thing, aside from the actual eating, to be so tedious. I've never been able to view it as something other than a chore that has to be done.

    So, at some level, when someone tells me that they "love to cook" it makes as much sense to me as someone saying they love to clean the toilet.

    I am a fan of Star Wars but I do not get the love for Rogue One. It is often lauded as the best Star Wars film since Empire and some people in the fandom even claim it is the best SW film. It is mediocre at best with some terrible acting and dialogue and one or two good set pieces.
