Things you dont care for that most others do ! ?

Watches, anything more expensive than a Casio terrorist watch I don't get.
People getting boners for cars, a bit of metal that goes from A to B. I could understand if we had Autobahns but even the most crappiest car I've had has done 70 mph.
I don't get why men wear perfume.
Paying more than £10 for a meal and that's including my drink.
Homemade tattoos or people who haven't given a thought about it.
People who go to a gym and then use an exercise bike or treadmill. I even see some running outside when it's nice and they've paid to do what I do for free.
Drinking lots of alcohol to look cool.
I will never buy a card (birthday,christmas, get well etc).
Cyclists who wear lycra when not in competition.
Car racing like F1.
 
anything I don't mind said:

Yes. Let me explain why all these things are awful :p

Lager. It's gassy, makes me feel bloated, and generally tastes horrid. A nice mild 3% bitter is so much nicer :p I stopped drinking lager after uni. Yuck.

Beach holidays. Well, I can't stomach too much sun and/or heat for starters. I don't like sweating or being too hot. And whilst I like sleeping, I don't like lying around doing nothing while I'm awake. So if I go on holiday I like to walk around and explore. Lying on a beach, being hot, and going nowhere... this is crap :p

Surfing. I'm supposed to like it because I live in Cornwall. I don't like getting wet tho. Especially cold and wet. I hate swimming. I like walking next to the sea, but not in it. I like listening to the sounds of the sea, but I can do that up on a cliff without pretending to be a seal. It's also a lot of work for very little payoff. And whilst you're out there, trying to have fun, there's a very real danger that you'll drown. Nope, not for me.

I guess I'm a bit sadistic when I say I watch the first few minutes or so for any position filtering prangs, but after that it's like watching paint dry.

I find it hypnotic, tho I can't pinpoint why. It's not like it's exciting most of the time. But if it's on I can't take my eyes off it. Perhaps it's the commentary.

100% agree with all of this, especially the hot holidays!

Give me skiing any day of the week instead of doing jack all on a beach or walking around a boring hot town with nowt interesting to do.

Also, any form of extra time in exams. A reader I can understand in some subjects; someone's English ability should not affect their science grade for example (unless they can't coherently form an answer), but no-one should get extra time.
 
A few of my pet hates:
- Going to the beach. Sitting and sweating while eating a warm pork pie isn't my idea of fun.
- Going on holiday in 'peak season'. I'd rather just sit at home and watch something good than be in a packed 'resort' full of screaming children and stressed out parents. I'd rather have a motorhome, and go somewhere in Scotland that's nice and quiet, have a nice meal while looking out over the sea or a lake etc.
- Flying. It's going up to nearly 40,000ft in a tin tube - really don't like it.
- Stupid people. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. I hate morons with a passion, sadly I seem to be in constant contact with them on most days.


Edit: Just realised this post makes me sound very old and grumpy!
 
Football - it just seems like a bunch of prancing nancies getting paid obscene amounts of money and in the case of the England squad, getting that money for basically being rubbish at their job! :confused:

Modern 'art' - OK I know it is like marmite and not strictly something that everyone else likes, but I simply fail to see the art in it.

Purile trash TV, like towie, geordie shore, big brother, x-factor, strictly so on and so forth (and don't get me started on soaps like Eastenders :p ).

Fashion. WTF is it all about? Why are people spending 5 times the money on the same kind of garment because it has a particular logo on it? Yes, dressing sharp is appealing I get it. But it can be achieved relatively easily without spending obscene amounts of cash on a logo. "Yeah man check out my Gucci sneaks". Dude I dont give a **** about your Gucci sneaks, you look like a nob and Addidas have been making footwear like that for decades and they dont cost £350. Fool! :D

Going abroad. We are obsessed with it as a nation. I find it very sad that many people in the UK have seen more of foreign countries than they have of their own. But then again I am not obsessed with sunshine. In fact I don't really like hot weather. Why would you want to sit in 40 degree heat? If I wanted to be cooked I would climb in the frickin oven! :eek:

Social media. Yeah I have a Facebook account. Some strange thing possessed me to open one when Facebook first came out. I barely use it. What I do see is a decline in the overall intelligence of the people on it. "OMFG someone posted a picture with a quote on it and it has 15 zillion likes, you must share it!!!". I must share it? What, even though the quote is not even genuine but all the Facebook sheep don't have the intelligence to check it out before writing hilarious "OMG how deep is this guy" comments? How about you **** off and stop posting **** on my wall and stop sending me game invites. I didn't accept the first 10 times, so take the hint! Twitter - where people post every inane detail of their miserable life so all the other people out there who are equally miserable can retweet it. How about you look up from your phone and start living in the real world? How about you chat to someone next to you in the queue and tell them about your day? No? Why? Because they are strangers? lolwut. Epic logic fail is epic! (Jean-Luc, a facepalm when you are ready please!) :p

Fri/Sat night on the town. An experience full of retarded people who cannot handle their drink and who get lairy and anti-social because of it. Why do people still go into town on a weekend? 90% of the people where I work love it. Last time I went along I was packed into a hot bar like a sardine in a vice and the music was so loud that you could barely make yourself heard even when shouting. Getting to the bar was a drawn out affair and it reminded me of Emperor Penguins shuffling their feet to get to the centre of the huddle. Once you have your drink you then realise the truth. You have no hope in hell of escaping the bar area without spilling it, probably on one of the many drunk and lairy individuals that tend to frequent these establishments. No, this kind of activity is not for me! :(

Fad sports culture (and all other fad culture). Wimbledon is on, so sales of tennis racquets go through the roof. Six weeks later, they get put in a cupboard and forgotten about. Tremendous cycling success for the UK, so bike sales soar. Then it gets cold and they get put in the garage never to be used again.

Modern music. Oh dear me. Massively popular but utterly rubbish. What ever happened to the real talented songrwriters and musicians? :confused:

Christmas. Why do I have to look at Christmas items in the shop in September? Christmas has become an event I no longer understand. It seems to be about filling our lives with material possessions along with eating and drinking ourselves into a vegetative state, and for what? Some kind of backwards pleasure where we feel good about buying gifts for other people, but only if we receive similar value and quantity of items in return, otherwise we feel had over? I just don't get it. :confused:
