    The smell of cooking meat.
    Frosties, sugar puffs, all those cereals - vile.

    Caffeine.

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

    There's more. But sure lookit.


    Not a huge fan of mango. I t's a tricky one. I like the smell, I like mango juice, I like mango in little blocks if it's very "al dente". But if it's slimy I'll throw up.

    Chicken (food)

    I absolutely detest chicken and people look strange at you when you tell them you don’t eat it.

    On a thread entitled "Things you don't like that everybody else does" there's an awful lot of people not liking the same thing! :pac:

    And one glaring absence (apart from my obvious soulmate BrenMar): pubs. An utterly pointless waste of time and money. Even when there's a good (live music) session going on in the corner, you can't really appreciate it because of the heathens bellowing at each other on the other side of the room.


    One thing I dislike that many others love is trad music and/or a trad session in a pub. To me it's this neverending cacophony of random, tuneless, structureless nonsense. The only good thing about it is that it allows you to strike up a conversation with the nice tourist women who are thoroughly enjoying this musical diarrhoea.

    This! Outside of the occasional unaccompanied uilleann pipe solo I could never get into Irish trad at all. I find it very repetitive and samey and one tune sounds like every other tune.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Dogs

    Sh1t everywhere. Stink. Shed hair all over the place.

    I get they can be good company for some people but they just aren't for me. I don't get how some owners don't see a problem with their dog sh1tting out on a walk and then letting it up on the couch when they get back..

    Foodwise:

    Ketchup
    Currants/Raisins
    Peppers

    The food ones can be annoying.

    Most takeaways throw ketchup on burgers so you need to ask for it without.

    Raisins stuffed into baked goods without you realising, can be hard to get museli or granola without them too.

    Similarly with peppers, usually need to ask for meals without them when out.

    Even if you want the salt and vinegar, a lot of them show it to the top of the bag and maybe 10 chips get a bit and none on the rest...

    Yes! Years ago chips would get a lovely dousing. Now even if I ask for lots of vinegar you still get a tiny bit on the first few chips. It’s a devastation.

    I'm not a dog person. But dogs are lovely. As for sh1tting everywhere and shedding....they don't. a well fed and well trained hound will be regular and take a dump on his/her afternoon/evening walk. If a dog is leaving hairs all over the camp then the diet is not the best but also the dog needs to be brushed. Once a week should do it.



    A well fed Irish wolfhound will not shed a hair on the carpet whereas a poorly fed Jack Russel will leave the carpet looking like Santa was shaved there.

    Shared a house once and one of the girls had this massive (for the size of the house) golden retriever.
    There was an absolute bang of dog off the house...pheehew..the thing stank to high heaven. It had a delicate stomach and it puked and shat inside in the kitchen on occasion. It sat inside all day alone while she was at work, thought that was a bit cruel to leave a dog cooped up inside for hours on end. It left a mattress load of hair after it too. Never ever would I want to keep a dog under these conditions.

    Well, from dog owners I know, their dogs very regularly leave "presents" in the garden lawn. Let's not even get in to owners not picking up the sh1t of the "well trained" ones from the footpaths and park trails. We've had 2 family members have the misfortune of stepping in dog crap in the last 2 weeks. What about taking a dump on the walk and owners allowing the dog up on furniture after.

    My experience of most dogs is that they always shed hair. I have seen someone brush their dog - in a public park and left a massive mess on the grass.

    Most of these are the dog owners fault of course.. but it's still the dog making all this mess.

    Might be an unpopular opinion but I firmly believe that many people who live in urban houses with small gardens, and the house occupants are not present all day should not be allowed to have a dog.

    I agree with you too, no matter how clean a house is, if they have a dog it always stinks of it.

    You always have the militant dog owners who follow the rules, always pick up the sh1t, train their dogs really well so they don't jump on people, don't bark all day, and defend dogs to the last. But in this country my experience is that the majority of dog owners are not like that.

    This retriever absolutely honked, I think it built up grease in its hair if it wasn't washed often enough.
    We once had a border collie and it never smelt anywhere as bad as that. Just a faint background dog smell, not one that hit you over the head and kicked you in the balls when you opened the door.

    Slightly specialised, this one: I cannot stand the “F-Hole” cutout on musical instruments. I suppose it’s barely acceptable on classical instruments such as the violin, since it originated there, but if I see it anywhere else, my reaction is just “ew”. This guitar is a typical example of what I mean. It just looks wrong.

    Most men I speak to like a bit of hair left down there, very few like totally bald. Very few also like full bush. A decent ‘treasure trail’ of a triangle or square on top but bare undercarriage seems to be in favor.
    I don’t think your preferences make you sick however!

    It looks nicer when there's a bit of shrubbery but a bald one is better when giving mouth to south.
