@fallgirl:
I agree, the nostalgia for the past, how great it was, drives me up the wall. Doesn’t mean that there weren’t things about that time that were easier, but like the images of the 1950’s people picked up (and still pick up) from tv programs of the time and nostalgize that as ‘a great time’, or even the image of the WWII generation as “the greatest generation” who were supermen and women (my dad was a member of that generation, and he said the cloud of adoration was so great, it totally obscured the many feet of lead and clay and took away that most of his generation were ordinary people).
Yes. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. Loved the body tho.
@SalveMater & @1or2Musicians I also loathe the Love Actually movie. Just listening to the beginning where the guy screws up that song over and over and over and over again makes me cringe. And it just got more maudlin from there.
An HONEST feel-good movie is Hector and the Search for Happiness. I dare y’all not to feel good after watching that one.
I hate mixed doubles tennis. Dudes and their egos, no thanks.
Let the hate for me pour in from the 13 people who agree with post #544.
I bought a stroller this week for my dog who will turn 16 next month. Her performance weight was 12 pounds but with muscle atrophy she is now down to 10 pounds. She still loves to be out and about but I cannot risk a traumatic injury at this age.
She will still be friendly with you even if you ‘hate dogs in strollers.’
I do make exceptions for the elderly and disabled dogs. 
I agree. That’s different. It’s the foo-foo tiny dogs that also are wearing nail polish and bows in their hair that kill me.
No nail polish, but she has always worn a bow in her topknot.
Elderly and disabled doggies get a pass from me, too, bows and all.
All dogs in strollers get a pass as at least the owner is walking 
Dogs in strollers…one never knows if the dogs has an injury that keeps it from walking, so no judgement from me.
Pedicures, cantaloupe, honey dew and baked potatoes.
Avocados
I just stumbled across this thread, and read some but not all entries, but here’s my list. Sorry if I can’t stand one of your favorites, or mention some that have been dissected:
Most sci-fi
U2, with special animus toward Bono. Did “The Edge” give himself that nickname?
The Wire. tbh I didn’t like West Wing either; I’m not usually the dumbest guy in the room so explain to me how everyone else followed the dialogue but I’m clueless.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (except for the improvised shrug and shoot)
Any holiday except Thanksgiving, and even that is getting old.
Birthday fuss for adults. Except for round numbers 70 and above.
Alcohol. 1 in a thousand people is more interesting after a drink than before. And even they seldom stop at 1. Not a big fan of pot either, but at least they don’t repeat boring stories I’ve already heard.
Now, THAT’S some good old fashioned hatin’ @IxnayBob , I commend you! Although, right now I’d say we have zero in common. I love all that stuff.
I hate Nickolas Spark type romantic movies. I think I am the only woman over 30 who hasn’t seen The Notebook. Mannnn at least gimme some comedy in there, or a spaceship, or something.
Nope–have never seen Notebook either. I don’t know who Nicholas Spark is. I’m not a fan of alcohol nor pot, tho in moderation if folks want it, OK. It has ruined many people and lives tho.
Most TV shows I’m pretty indifferent to–don’t care enough to like or dislike.
@JenJenJenJen , I was trying to hold to “that almost everyone else loves,” so I guess I got it.
Bonus hate: baseball.
You didn’t miss anything. Can’t stand Nickolas Spark books.
I totally agree. I don’t get the mentality that because one continues to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide for another year, one deserves to be treated like Princess (or Prince) for a day. I go along, but beyond wishing a happy day, everything else seems excessive.
My Dad, who adores birthdays, wonders where he went wrong with me.
I thought of one - Julia Roberts! She does absolutely nothing for me and never has, and here she is People’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman again. Props to her for aging gracefully, though.
^Same
When Julia Roberts got married to Lyle Lovett, I didn’t know anything about him and had the general view of Julia Roberts that she was a good looking actress. ** “What in the world does she see in him?”**
So, I decided to listen to some of his music. I originally thought it was “country music,” which is not something I am drawn to, but quickly decided that, regardless of what genre you call it, he is a man of prodigious and rare talent, with a great sense of humor. Soon it was: “What does he see in her?”
