This, along with Audi's and taking 'professional' football too seriously.

I also don't understand the obsession females have to be stick thin. Obviously you don't want cushion for the pushin', but come on.

- Fifa. I love sports, watch and play football. But Fifa is just boring to me.
- Shoes. My friends seem to be buying a new pair every other day. I have 3 expensive pairs that I've rotated for the last 3 years.
- iPhones. Or phones in general.

Clothes shopping. Hate it. When I need something new, I don't want any mucking about. Just see it and get it. The mere idea of browsing for clothes makes me wants scream and yank at my testicles.

Raw cheese. The stuff is gross. I can't see why there is such a massive industry and culture based around off milk.

Teen reality shows like TOWIE and Geordie Shore. Just pointless to the max. 85% of the cast need humanely euthanising.

Finally. MMO's. Games like WOW are mind numbing to me. I shudder when I hear stories of people devoting their lives to them, even to the point where some have died through blood clots and sleep deprivation.

Another vote for football but more so for me, I just can't see (literally) what someone would get from listening to football on the radio, especially as it doesn't really make much sound. You just listen to two blokes growl on about football stuff.

A minor/occasional one that's always amused me is the fascination of a slow cooker. Whenever someone talks about owning or buying one, it's always immediately followed up by them saying "what I'll do is put my dinner on, then go to work/the gym/shopping etc and when I get home, it will be cooked" :confused:

That's actually quite a handy thing to be able to do tbh. Put stews on slow cook during the winter days. Come home to a lovely hot meal with no fuss.

I'm in.

Yep, that is an odd one to get confused about. But I do see slow cooker as a waste of cupboard space, that's what an oven's for.

Any cooking shows, can't stand them and can't understand why anybody would want to watch them.

Ideas and techniques. If you want to learn how to do things, no better way than actually watching someone do it, recipe books might give you a recipe, but you don't gleam many techniques and tips though.

Yes, but I have an abundance of cupboards. Food processors, blenders, slow cookers, breadmakers, you name it, it's all pugged away in my kitchen.

Even my tefal toast and egg.

I like Jamie's 30 and 15 minute meals. Had some real nice meals out of that show.

I wish I had that space, half my cans, jars and spices are on the Worktop as it is.

Any and all memes. Even if they are funny, after the 1millionth time someones posted it, it's not.

People who don't realise now customisable Facebook is and just assume it's all pointless rubbish, rather than an extremely customisable tool. Far from pointless posts, when they're news items from the various things I follow. It's a personal news feed, very few posts from friends as most of us see that as pointless. Let alone the ease of arranging group events.

Premier League Football

Iphone/pad yearly releases (one year smaller, next year bigger, smaller, bigger etc etc) I have an Iphone but the hype is pathetic.

X Factor every season since the farce that is Jedward.

Reality TV (and pseudo/ fake reality TV - TOWIE, Made in Chelsea etc)

Things that are absurdly overpriced, namely watches. It like a stupidity tax on those that have too much money.

Brb - off to buy some 'performance' cufflinks.
