Ok…I have always hated fanny packs too.
The kids and I have been making fun of those elastic ankle sweatpants with pockets that are passing as casual pants these days. Apparently they are very trendy.
Need the fanny pack to carry my camera gear, because my shoulders and neck can’t take it!
The designations DH, DW, DS1 and the like. I can not stand those abbreviations. Not sure why- maybe it’s just me.
^ I would use DX if I have one. 
Not just you, MOfWC! I hate those, too. I remember Mr. asking me not to refer to him as an “H” in my posts. Because he is “Mr.” or “husband,” not an “H.”
Thick towels and washcloths. I like thin somewhat scratchy washcloths - how do you wash your ears with those thick ‘luxurious’ ones? I like large, thin, beach towel-like bath towels, too. In addition to my preference for using the thin ones, the thick towels take too long to dry in the dryer, and seem to mildew easily.
New Year’s Eve. And the fireworks when shot off in my neighborhood
Fireworks in general, even on the Fourth of July.
People who say that this year’s fireworks weren’t as good as last year’s. (Who the hell remembers?!)
Hostesses who tell you not to bring anything to the party, when they’ve given all the other guests an assignment.
Florida
First time I went there (long, long ago) I immediately realized why nobody from California ever visits Florida, but the opposite is quite common. I remain aghast that it’s a vacation destination for people on the east coast.
Florida has nice, warm water, which California does not. Otherwise, I agree with you.
Marvin-my H hates Florida but loved Ca. He loves the beach and the ocean and spends time there most days.
I don’t get the need to celebrate the end of the year or the beginning of a new one in a big way.
My family makes fun of me that I often think I smell skunk. It’s not a skunk but people smoking weed. So I hate the smell of pot.
I know people who claim to LOVE the smell of skunk. I figure they are closet weed smokers. I’m worried that the whole damn state is going to reek of skunk 24/7 now that we’ve (supposedly) legalized weed.
(I actually like the smell of a lot of the cat-pee-smelling plants, so I can’t really argue with the skunk lovers).
Florida isn’t my favorite state but there are many different parts of Florida. The Keys are very different from Miami which is very different from Orlando which is very different from the Panhandle. It’s hard to lump them all together.
I don’t like April Fools’ Day much, unless the joke is some kind of clever satire. My grandma’s car got stolen one year and it was so hard to convince anyone.
Music by pop artists such as Bruno Mars and Adele
I’m with you on April Fools Day. It brings out the childishness in so many people.
Red meat…just don’t care for the taste
Nottelling, there’s supposedly a percentage of people who don’t mind the smell of skunk. While I prefer plenty of other scents, skunk doesn’t bother me. Afaiac, smells like stale beer. Not weed. That’s patchouli- and I love that one. I’ll turn around to see who’s wearing it. (And not a closet weed smoker.)
I grew up in CA.
Haven’t hit every town or whatever, but I’ve hit every region of that pancake-flat state, and I’ll just say none of it’s for me.
