The American Songbook and everyone who sings it
Most musicals after 1950 (like tap-dancing musicals though)
The Circus
Blue cheese
Reality TV
Arrested Development
Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman
Liver, Beets, Blue cheese (but surely many people hate them too - I’m rarely in a position where I am forced to eat them, but my sil puts them in the salad every single time and I pick them out and she always seems surprised?)

Blue cheese, beets and liver - luckily it’s rare I have to eat them. Though my sil sticks blue cheese in the salad every time we visit and always acts surprised when I pick it out again.

We have a winner!!! :slight_smile:

First of all- I LOVE messages, facials and anything at a spa- so please feel free to send ALL your GC my way!!!
But I HATE Seinfeld (saw him live several times and found him hysterical, the sitcom left me cold)
Anything Kardashian, Big Bang theory, the Help (book) crab, football, tailgating, could easily skip alcohol for the rest of my life and be fine, putting very personal things about myself on FB, broiling at the beach at noon in the summer without an umbrella- too hot!

110

Fragrant flowers or leis–they make me and loved ones physically ill, as lovely as they are to view.

Also hate lotteries
Gambling
Las Vegas

111

Hate to eat fish or anything that lived in the water before it was dead.

112

Practical jokes
Valet parking
Tres Leches cake (tastes like glue)
Clowns
Amusement Parks
Beer
Pumpkin Chiffon Pie (love pumpkin pie; why mess with it?)
Artificial sweeteners
Circus
Slapstick comedy
Loud cell phone ringtones
People talking on their cellphones at restaurants

“What do you hate…that almost everyone else loves”

Hard to know what “almost everyone else loves” and some items already mentioned, I can’t imagine that “almost everyone else loves” Really? “Almost everyone else loves” brussel sprouts, cauliflower or blue cheese? - I would include these in my list, but I don’t see them as overly popular items.

I’ll echo a few others have mentioned:

  • Coffee
  • Shopping
  • Beer
  • High heels
  • Mustard (though oddly, I live honey mustard dressing)

Not me, but I have a SIL who hates ice cream. What?! (And she has never liked it, not even as a kid…)

114

Okay…I don’t think anyone loves this! LOL!

115

S hates potato chips and French fries-- never liked them!

BIL doesn’t eat desserts, period. He thinks desserts would cause him to die young like his dad, tho his mom is in her 90s.

116

Some of the things I dislike:

  • Mushrooms. Something there is that doesn’t love a fungus.
  • Cottage cheese. Just thinking of it triggers my gag reflex. I like ricotta, but the larger clumps in cottage cheese, and the looser/soupier composition of it, make it unpalatable to me.
  • Certain sports teams, like: Minnesota Golden Gophers, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, and Norte Dame (in football).
  • Chevrolet (Ford guy)
  • Chit-chat, especially loud chit-chat, during a movie at the cinema. Kids breaking out their ultra-bright cell phones is a close second in terms of my movie theatre peeves.
  • Slow traffic in the left lane. If you aren’t passing someone, please let the faster traffic by.

Now maybe not almost everyone else loves these things, but plenty do (or seem to).

117

Pie.

Sigh. I know.

118

@Ckaremont mom. I don’t like ice cream either. It’s exactly the kind of thing I was talking about ( I’m the OP). The kind of things people are shocked you don’t like. Like obviously" almost" everybody loves coffee or you wouldn’t have a Starbucks every quarter mile.

119

Honestly, don’t know folks who like others chattering in theaters–it’s rude and if you ask ushers, they’re supposed to shush them or ask them to leave.

I hate apple pie. Any kind of cooked Apple. Love apples though!
Actually do not like sweet things that are hot such as cider, mulled wine, etc.
Always pretend to eat or drink but really do not care much about sweets in general but hot–ugh.

I really really hate shaking hands.
I really hate pot lucks and soup or cookie exchanges.
People coughing without using their shoulder.

Also, detest massages. Well, I like foot massages only.

Hate people who arrive late to a dinner party for no good reason.
