I don't drink, not because I'm a recovering alcoholic, or because I'm religious, or because I think it's immoral, or any other judgmental type of reason.

I just don't like the taste and it tends to make me feel nauseous well before it makes me feel good.

For some reason nobody can accept this simple explanation.

[–]Replekia 102 points103 points ago

I used to catch a ton of flak for this too. It's partially because I dislike the taste, and partially because the idea of intoxication bothers me. After a while of my friends poking fun at me for it, they realized how damn useful it was to have a friend you can count on to be sober to watch their asses when they're completely wasted.

[–]mywhitewolf 9 points10 points ago

i have a friend like you, my wife and his missus gives him hell for it.

As someone who has experimented with drugs, taking alcohol less seriously than any of the others is dangerous. but PUSHING it onto others using social pressure is just abhorrent. i get nothing but furious with the way they try and make him drink...

He has tried it, he doesn't like it, Just leave him alone.

[–]leBMD 36 points37 points ago

I'm a man, and Tangled is one of my favorite movies, right up there with Lion King, Phantom of The Opera and Cloverfield.

I also can't stand football and would much prefer to go see a play or something than be around sports.

This would all be fine and dandy except that I'm straight. People tend to just nod and say "Okay, so you're pretty much the quintessential gay guy" (especially since my best friends are all girls) and then I tell them I'm straight and they flip out and yell something about the friendzone or whatever.

People always give me looks because i can't stand ketchup.

[–]natron6 130 points131 points ago

I was once called a communist for my dislike of ketchup.

[–]christmasface 272 points273 points ago

I like the Matrix sequels....THERE I FUCKING SAID IT.

[–]martymcflytf2 61 points62 points ago

I like them too, they're just worse than the first one, which is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen..

[–]zombie_lawyer 309 points310 points ago

I like to watch Robocop ... a lot.

[–]ensales 183 points184 points ago

I'd buy that for a dollar.

[–]fucking_leverpostej 38 points39 points ago

I have the same problem with Commando.

[–]Vamoosy 551 points552 points ago

I can't name actors or band members because I don't care enough to learn them. I also don't watch that many movies, so my conversations usually go like this.

Them: "Do you like (actor I don't know)?"

Me: "Who?"

Them: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO (actor I don't know) IS?!??! Have you watched (movie I haven't seen)?!"

Me: "No."

Them: "What do you even do?"

ಠ_ಠ

[–]a_cleaner_guy 164 points165 points ago

I've found bro's flip out even harder when you can't name sports players.

[–]slvrbullet87 92 points93 points ago

It depends who the sports figure is... if you dont know who Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods are then yeah i would probably comment on that. But if you dont know who the jacksonville jaguars kicker is that is fine

[–]YesItsKevin 295 points296 points ago

It's Josh Scobee. Do I get a prize?

[–]Jachard 172 points173 points ago

Here's your upvote. Don't spend it all at once.

[–]mayaxpapaya 428 points429 points ago

the number of must-see movies I haven't seen. The list is rather embarrassing. We're talking Jurassic Park and Ghost Busters here, guys.

Edited to add: And it's not like I'm too young to understand the awesomeness of said movies. I'm in my 20's, these are things I should have seen.

[–]rac3r5 260 points261 points ago*

I don't like hockey and I'm Canadian.

EDIT: Didn't expect so many comments. Let me clarify, I don't care much about most sports, however I did watch the Canada vs USA Olympic finals with a lot of interest. Gotta beat em Americans ;) I do play some sports btw, but am mostly into non team based stuff: snowboarding, indoor/outdoor climbing, hiking, swimming, biking etc. I find it silly that ppl spend so much of their time and money idolizing sports. You could live and enjoy your own life but most choose to revolve their life around a bunch of millionaires that don't really care about them.

[–]pHreaksYcle 65 points66 points ago

That's borderline treason, eh?

[–]eternal_solitude 11 points12 points ago

I'm Finnish and I don't like ice hockey. We're in the same boat, bro.

[–]JojOhmy 50 points51 points ago

I'm just not a fan of music festivals. I don't do hard drugs and hate large crowds. I live in California and people freak out over Coachella saying they would "sell their souls" for weekend 1 tickets and I just don't get it. I love music and all, but camping in a packed field for 3 days in 100 degree heat with a bunch of people who are there mostly to say they went doesn't sound like a good time to me. I'll stay home and have my own dance party.

[–]robintunes 287 points288 points ago

I always catch shit for not like the band Tool. I think they're extremely talented guys, I just really don't like their sound.

[–]nnagflar 66 points67 points ago

I didn't like Tool for years. Then one day, it just clicked. I was listening to 10,000 Days on an epic road trip with the volume turned way up, and I've been a fan ever since.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points ago

This happened to me, last year. Years of finding them pompous and annoying turned into 'this is fucking awesome.'

I have no idea why.

[–]feeblmynd[S] 56 points57 points ago

In my town this is a big thing. Tool in Tallahassee is like Nirvana in Seattle and I don't know why.

[–]17-40 12 points13 points ago

Tool isn't really like other music, so this makes sense. When I'm in the mood to listen to Tool, nothing else does the trick. And conversely, sometimes Tool is the last thing I want to hear.

[–]ZacharyTayl 694 points695 points ago*

I don't think Megan Fox is "OMG FUCKING SO HOT" like everyone says she is. She has great eyes, that's it. *Edit: It's not just because her toe thumbs, everyone has imperfections. It's her face...it's just not appealing to me.

[–]feeblmynd[S] 65 points66 points ago

I find her quite unattractive.

Yep.

[–]hamburgermuffin 148 points149 points ago

I dont want to have kids. I mean, I dont like the idea of all those early stages as babies, where you have to be pendant of them 24/7. And then having to raise them up and all... too much work for me.

But of course, the minute someone says something like this, everyone else goes BUT WHY NOT?!

uggh

[–]natty_boom_boom 79 points80 points ago

"You just don't want to have kids NOW. But don't worry. You'll want them in a couple years time" - Fuck you.

[–]ANewMachine615 9 points10 points ago

My girlfriend's sister went so far as to say that she was praying that we get unexpectedly pregnant so that we can know the joys of parenthood. Bitch that's what adoption agencies are for.

[–]XeroPeace 33 points34 points ago

I don't want kids either and when I say I don't, people tell me that one day I will or that I just don't get it cause I don't have one of my own.

No, asshole, I don't want to reproduce because I have valid reasons despite your dismissive opinion. I have dated several women with kids and treated them like my own. Still doesn't make me want to reproduce.

[–]joyfly 21 points22 points ago

I can't stand babies. Add to this my distaste for chocolate (and, sugar of any kind) and dogs, and I seriously get "you have FAILED the girl test" looks all the time.

[–]jaystewart2 99 points100 points ago

i hate adele, and for some reason nobody else does and they have very strong feelings about it.

[–]DistractedScholar 11 points12 points ago

I can understand that. I don't hate her, but she kind of over sings every one of her songs, which can get annoyig.

[–]SPacific 1083 points1084 points ago

I don't like sports. Especially football. And I live in Wisconsin.

I live in central GA and also dislike sports. I'm surprised I haven't been burnt at the stake yet.

Same here, except I live in Texas.

[–]FekketCantenel 22 points23 points ago

I'm 26.5 and I play video games. People in my social circle think its immature to play video games and that men shouldn't play. My reply is always: "its immature to base my interests and hobbies around whether or not people will approve of said interest or hobby."

[–]cleverquack 657 points658 points ago

I think it's immature to measure your age with decimals. Grow up! :D

[–]Ypetrik 173 points174 points ago

[–]MistressMabel 11 points12 points ago

My boyfriend is 27 and he plays MMOs with our friends, who are in their 30s and 40s, every single night. My dad is 63 and spends his evenings playing Zelda. Screw the people in your social circle, and stay awesome.

[–]Chronoallusion 53 points54 points ago

Because i don't like facebook, my friends get all pissy because thats the only way they communicate.

[–]sciencesaves 7 points8 points ago

I feel the same way. I have a cell that receives calls and texts and email, why do I need yet another form of communication just so I can feel popular for having a 100 Facebook friends I don't talk to in real life. My motto is, if you can't talk to me in person or give me a call or simple text, than we must not be close enough for us to be considered friends. If that's the case why do I need Facebook to remind me of that. Like I said, I feel most people use it to feed their ego, and look at their 150+ "friends" list and say, look how popular I am, I must be important, and everything I do must be important enough to announce to 50+ people I don't know through anything else other than Facebook.

Tl;dr- I really hate Facebook.

[–]CelestialRose 495 points496 points ago

I'm an English Major on track for Creative Writing. And I'm not in the major because I'm bad at math or bad at Science, I'm actually good in those subjects and enjoy them. English is something I've always loved though and something I wanted to learn more about and gear my life towards. I get so much crap for this... it's kind of ridiculous.

[–]ompompomp 394 points395 points ago

This is what I came here to say. I hate it when people just assume I'm a creative writing major because I can't do "real" school. MAYBE I LOVE WHAT I DO YOU BUTTNUGGET

[–]DanRYoung 425 points426 points ago

Stop doing what you love. You need to force yourself into a field you might not be fond of like engineering or something high paying. This way you can crack jokes about how English majors make your coffee (while secretly being jealous them for doing something they love/are passionate about while you feel dead inside).

[–]SimpleSampleSlurry 190 points191 points ago

Wow this hits way too close to home.

[–]weggles 138 points139 points ago

At the same time, I hate the implication that people in engineering are only there for the money.... It is possible to be passionate about something that can also make you a decent salary.

[–]clearlyclassy 34 points35 points ago

I'm in love with a physicist. He's very passionate all around.

[–]pouzou 68 points69 points ago

[–]witm 139 points140 points ago

THANK YOU! I have been so resentful to people asking me "oh? what are you going to do with that degree" or "so you want to be a teacher?".... There was one time I was on the phone with some Tech support and he asked me what I was taking in school... I replied and he asked "Oh, so you want to be an author?"

He was the first person who has ever said that to me in my entire life; it sounded so beautiful I almost wanted to cry

[–]voodoojessica 57 points58 points ago

Dude, be an author, and be a good one! We need more good literature right now! <3

[–]Eritrean_Redditor 638 points639 points ago*

I feel bad for Justin Bieber. It must suck not being able to go on the internet without hearing how much people hate you without knowing you. Then I remember he's loaded.

Edit: So apparently Justin Bieber is an asshat. I feel a little less sympathetic.

[–]Fuqwon 205 points206 points ago

I think of all people Vanilla Ice actually put it best. In reference to his career he said something along the lines of "Some guys told me to put on stupid pants and dance and they'd give me shitloads of money. What 18yo wouldn't do that?"

And it's the truth. I may not like Justin Bieber's music, but can I really blame the kid for taking advantage of the situation or argue that I would have done any different?

[–]milliondollarboy1 146 points147 points ago

And at the same time he's getting more pussy than all of us combined.

[–]Robonia 231 points232 points ago

I always thought she kinda looked like him so it threw me off that they're together

[–]Jack_Squire 265 points266 points ago

She doesn't look like him, he looks like her.

[–]juke_the_stats 32 points33 points ago

In John Oliver's podcast, he was talking about a political fundraiser where he was sitting with Justin Bieber. Some women came up extremely excited and asked for his autograph and he said "can I finish my cake first?" I felt bad for him.

[–]darkeyesgirl 275 points276 points ago

I dislike Beyonce. I realize that here, it may not matter, but in my circle of associations and with my kids, apparently it is awful. No one gets it.

[–]Toastmaster_General 32 points33 points ago

Yeah, I'm indifferent to about 3/4 of her music, but I really like the other quarter.

[–]AimeeEvilpixie 384 points385 points ago

I don't drink alcohol. I just don't like it. People who learn this are invariably amazed, and then try to convince me I haven't found the right drink yet.

Now when I go out, I have the bartender put cranberry juice in a wine glass and no one bothers me.

Other things I don't like that confuse people: Chocolate, coffee, carbonation, red meat, and lemon.

[–]rhymeswithbanana 163 points164 points ago

Cranberry juice in a wine glass, that is a great idea. I may have to steal it.

[–]DucksniggaduckS 66 points67 points ago

Ask for cranberry juice in a highball glass with ice and a wedge of lime. People will think you are drinking a Cape codder, and will not comment on the off color of wine.

[–]LegionKreativ 114 points115 points ago

You don't like booze, chocolate, coffee or meat? Clearly this means you are some sort of android or replicant!!

[–]AimeeEvilpixie 18 points19 points ago

Actually, it means that my vices are carbs, butter, and cheese.

[–]jhphoto 12 points13 points ago

My vices are everything.

fuck

[–]TerminalStar 19 points20 points ago

Damn, I hate it when drinkers try to convince people who do not like alcohol to drink. I do enjoy it myself, and I cringe so much when I see my friends insisting on those who dislike it that they will "if they find the right drink".

[–]jmayniac 7 points8 points ago

I know what you mean. I absolutely hate beer of any kind and people freak when I tell them that. It's like I'm not American if I don't drink beer.

I just can stand any type of alcohol. I've tried many different types of mixed drinks and I hated each one. My latest was a white russian and I didn't like it either.

[–]tactile_feedback 265 points266 points ago

Facebook.

I don't have one and have never been interested in one. Same thing when MySpace was popular. People just can't understand why someone wouldn't be interested in it.

[–]feeblmynd[S] 102 points103 points ago

I facebook, and I myspaced back in the day, but I do see the stupidity of it all. The futile desire for attention is a bit pathetic, and the thought that anyone actually gives a fuck about your menial, daily goings on is even more pathetic.

I still do it, though. :P

[–]furywarrior 9 points10 points ago

hell yeah motherfucker. I've been adamant about staying off Facebook and Myspace since they came around. I get asked atleast once a week why I don't have one. People treat it like not having a job or something.

I can't believe you don't have a Facebook... How disappointing.

Bitch I have a cellphone. Why do I need to see pictures of your dinner and hear about stupid shit your three year old says.

[–]smootie 10 points11 points ago

I hate dolphins, and cetaceans in general. I find them to be sinister. People around here give me a hard time about it. Apparently if you live in Hawaii you have to love dolphins and whales.

[–]ivanthedispleased 130 points131 points ago

I don't like Keira Knightley. Her acting is awful, and she's worryingly thin.

[–]milky_funk 30 points31 points ago

I can't tell the difference between her and Natalie Portman and I get shit for it all day. Natalie Portman is apparently good at acting, where K.K. isn't? I honestly can't tell the difference.

[–]RawrCupcakes 403 points404 points ago

I hate Family Guy. I just don't find it funny. People try to force me to watch it saying "but THIS episode is funny!" It's not.

I hate Italian food. Some are practically offended when I say that.

I don't smoke weed. I get my head chewed off by pretty much everyone I know for NOT smoking.

[–]tinyzombie 126 points127 points ago

I hate Family Guy so, so much. I have the same situation, where people always go, "Oh, but have you seen THIS episode?" Yes, I have. IT SUCKED, TOO.

[–]zyedy 51 points52 points ago

You know that ad on TBS that has Stewie going "Mommy, mommy mommy" for about 2 minutes? I just mute the fucking thing every time. Stewie isn't funny and he never was.

[–]catnipassian 10 points11 points ago

They are bad, they have the occasional thing that makes me giggle. Or maybe once or twice full on lol, but fuck that show is shit.

[–]Stealyphil1905 11 points12 points ago

Yep. I think the only reason I liked the earlier episodes is because I was younger and more easily amused.

[–]shacknasty 9 points10 points ago

You hate it but have seen every episode? That's commitment i guess!

[–]BlueBusDriver 77 points78 points ago

Family Guy totally isn't funny anymore.

Love Italian fewd. Your taste buds are broken is all. Go to the people mechanic.

And don't feel bad about not smoking weed. It's not a big deal and if people make it a deal then they're either feeling partly guilty that they indulge in it or they're just immature. I've spent alot of time with weed, I've learned why people bitch at other people or try to coerce them into smoking. Guilt, often.

[–]Kiwi_X1 288 points289 points ago

I like the prequels. I saw them at the same age as most of you probably saw the original trilogy and I loved them. Even Phantom Menace (because of Darth Maul really)

[–]MstrKief 116 points117 points ago

Darth Maul is one of the few things that people like from TPM

[–]sparkybrak 14 points15 points ago

I dunno. Darth Maul doesn't really feel like a character to me. He never really makes any decisions for himself and hardly talks. He just shows up wherever Palpatine tells him to have a lightsaber fight with someone. I think one thing the prequels was really missing was a good unifying villain.

[–]solitaryman098 27 points28 points ago

I'm pretty sure that's why people like him. Doesn't have any stupid lines. He's just a badass that kills people.

[–]adam_frankenstein 21 points22 points ago

Despite Attack of the Clones being a little fatty in the middle, I actually really like the prequels as well. I think they're enormously underrated by fans of the original trilogy, but time will be more forgiving of them. Kids today under age 13 or so LOVE the prequels and the surrounding media (the TV series, etc.), and the generations that follow likely will as well.

[–]mattmacneil 236 points237 points ago

Hey I fucking hate dubstep too. Fuck it.

[–]winterandautumn 120 points121 points ago

Never seen Star Wars. It's not because I don't like it, I just don't think there's much point in me watching it now because it wouldn't hold the nostalgia factor. It's probably only good if you have the memories to back it up.

Some of my girlier friends give me shit for liking video games and the fantasy genre in general. I've been playing Skyrim all the time lately (is there any other way to play it?) so one of my friends asked what exactly is so good about it. So I tried to explain first the depth of storytelling and things to do, then I talked about the amount of lore and that I loved how well-developed the Elder Scrolls world is. The same reason I like any other fantasy series. Anyway she clearly wasn't listening to begin with and said 'oh right, I forgot how cool you are!' and laughed.

We're 19 and I don't get how some people still have an idea of 'the norm' and that people who like different things are deviating from this normalcy.

[–]MrChurchSir 50 points51 points ago

Don't avoid it because you don't have nostalgia for it. Personally, I think they are great films. I wasn't alive for the release of the first three, so I can't enjoy the nostalgia either. But I like them.

[–]crackedup1979 161 points162 points ago

I am deathly allergic to Journey. I break out in hives and start to vomit uncontrollably whenever I listen to one of their songs for more than a couple of seconds.

[–]Buttersnack 20 points21 points ago*

I think he's great, but I can totally understand why some people might not like him. I love his music, but I also love Philip Glass and Iannis Xenakis, and I hate Bruno Mars more than anything else in the world, so I totally get that musical tastes can differ.

[–]Dompola 593 points594 points ago

I think coldplay are extremely overrated, as are the Arcade Fire.

[–]desconectado 175 points176 points ago*

This is going to sound very hipstery. But the first two albums (Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head) are wonderful. Nowadays, they are very overrated, but their early music is worth listening even if now they are another comercial product.

[–]GhostSongX4 663 points664 points ago

I got shit for not liking Napoleon Dynamite. Even though that movie was a muted, one-joke, droning pile of pure boredom. No, throwing the Trapper Keeper out the window isn't hilarious. Eating tater tots out of your pocket isn't the grand punchline. Feeding a quesadilla to a llama...fuck you.

[–]drpeery 21 points22 points ago

I was pretty amused by the movie just for the honesty of it. Central Idaho has a lot of places like that.

[–]Robstaley 170 points171 points ago

throwing the Trapper Keeper out the window

uhh yeah that never happened

[–]NotoriousFIG 12 points13 points ago

Not liking Jay-z i think his voice is annoying. I really dont like nas either just a couple songs.

[–]bjlyan 114 points115 points ago

In the words of Sage Francis, "I like 99 rappers, but Jay-Z ain't one."

[–]ChastityPanda 13 points14 points ago

Fairly indifferent to Jay-Z but Sage Francis is fantastic.
EDIT: linked to the 99 rappers bit, thought I should link to an actual song too.

I have zero interest in any kind of sport. I just don't see the attraction.

[–]feeblmynd[S] 101 points102 points ago

I like them because I like strategy. Sports are a good way to coordinate and implement strategy, besting your opponent! What's not to like?

But hey! This is a thread for going against the grain, so if you don't like sports, good on you! :]

[–]katacarbix 650 points651 points ago

I hate the show "The Big Bang Theory", even though I'm nerdy, because it's retarded.

[–]Futhermucker 169 points170 points ago

[–]catnipassian 140 points141 points ago

It's how non-nerdy people think nerdy people act together. They aren't nerdy, they are socially retarded.

[–]Deetoria 88 points89 points ago

Agreed. The frat boys who dress up as nerds for halloween, with big glasses and the pocket protectors, wrote that show. Or at least it seems like they did.

[–]n0ggy 136 points137 points ago

You're really not alone. The countless pop culture references inserted as an emotional-whoring device for the audience. The volume 11 laugh-track with characters pausing their lines for it. Ugh...

[–]N0V0w3ls 85 points86 points ago

On the flip side, I do like The Big Bang Theory. But admit that on reddit and get ready to be told how your taste in television is subhuman.

[–]Singulaire 12 points13 points ago

I also like the Big Bang Theory, it's a solid model with a lot of evidence supporting it.

[–]squeakyguy 214 points215 points ago

Fuck that show

[–]ModernAlias 24 points25 points ago

I think fuck that show is the consensus. Every nerd on Reddit thinks it stinks of complete bullshit. Who the fuck is watching that thing?

I've never watched, nor am I especially interested in ever watching, the Sopranos.

I don't like beer, and it bugs me how it supposed to be a guy's thing. What's manly about a certain taste?

[–]seth11111 38 points39 points ago

Nobody likes beer until you like it. It's an acquired taste.

Most people that I know say that they are big fans of nirvana but can only name one song - Smells like teen spirit. So maybe it's not that most people like nirvana they just like that one song.

[–]Perk-a-Derk 731 points732 points ago*

I hate the Beatles. Well, I guess I don't hate them, but I really don't enjoy their music. I respect the role they played in music, but that's about it.

Edit: "role" sorry, I guess I just had "rock n roll" stuck in my head when I was typing this earlier haha.

[–]mycatisadick 372 points373 points ago

I never liked or got into WoW. The art and design style just doesn't do it for me.

I don't like hot wings. I prefer to not cry while I eat my food.

I hate all forms of seafood. I think there was one time I somewhat enjoyed a crabcake, but everything else, absolutely disgusting!

[–]Stereohead101 91 points92 points ago

I like Nirvana but I perfer almost every other grunge band a lot more (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc.). Nirvana was very influencial though, before Smells Like Teen Spirit came out Whitesnake and other bands dominated MTV - you had these music videos with models on cars, rock stars with teased hear, etc. When Teen Spirit came out it was soo different because it looked like regular guys you would see in your high school class - it was more relatable than the 80's glam and hair metal

[–]BearGryllsGrillsBear 15 points16 points ago

Wait, since when was music on MTV?

[–]vertexavery 38 points39 points ago

What about TAD, Mudhoney, The Melvins, and any other of the myriad great grunge bands that weren't on the radio?!?

[–]imnotanananimal 43 points44 points ago

Not having a facebook page. Also not liking Nirvana. Hating Elliot in the morning with a passion. Those of you in the DC area will understand the last one.

Not wanting to kill Justin Bieber. I don't like his music, but that doesn't mean I need to bag on him for it.

[–]uconnhusky 224 points225 points ago

Not a fan of the Transformers movies. I find the plots so stupid that I feel insulted. I would rather watch a plotless movie where giant robots fight for no reason and the entire Earth gets destroyed.

[–]TeneCursum 151 points152 points ago

I thought liking transformers was the minority. Everyone I know hates on them real hard for the same reasons you described.

I don't like Big Bang Theory or How I Met Your Mother. I hate both of them. How do people find it funny?

[–]Not_by_a_longshot 8 points9 points ago

I'm in physics, so I have a lot of friends and colleagues talking about Big Bang Theory. I can't stand the show. How I Met Your Mother is different, but I'll only watch it if there's literally nothing else on.

[–]Galaxyman0917 30 points31 points ago

I can't stand big bang theory, but I love HIMYM. I think I watch it for Barney Stinson though haha

[–]superawes0me 227 points228 points ago

My hate for Zooey Deschanel.

[–]manicottibandito 245 points246 points ago

No Zooey, you don't need to sing in every single movie you're in. Also, if you could dial back your "quirkiness" a bit, I'd really appreciate it.

[–]marburg 38 points39 points ago

The attributes you would like her to cut back on are the only reason she gets work.

[–]Andar1911 8 points9 points ago

That may be the point :D

[–]areohbeewhyin 47 points48 points ago

I don't hate her, but I agree that she tries too hard. It's painful to watch.

[–]vermicin 19 points20 points ago

her sister is hotter AND a better actress. but guys love a chick in a band who is quirky, even if it's painfully forced.

[–]n0ggy 75 points76 points ago

OMG I thought I was the only one. She manages to look oblivious, arrogant and condescending at the same fucking time while being the archetype of the "cute and original girl for pedantic asshole"

I want to punch her fucking face.

[–]satinbirdy 9 points10 points ago

I think you would enjoy this article.

[–]Slorgasm 17 points18 points ago

My boyfriend hates her, thinks her acting is flat like week-old soda in a glass with melted ice, & I support him in his beliefs.

[–]jester7 119 points120 points ago

I never cared for the movie Goonies. I grew up in the 80s and pretty much ALL of my peers consider this a staple of their childhood. I probably tried to watch it 10 times as a kid and just got bored and stopped watching.

[–]purplebeats 80 points81 points ago

I enjoy watching Jersey Shore. I find it legitimately entertaining if you take it for what it really is. A bunch of idiots living together and drinking a lot. It's really fun to watch them do stupid shit and struggle with simple concepts and speaking. Whenever I tell someone I like the show, they usually just make fun of me or act like I'm a complete idiot.

[–]doray 322 points323 points ago

I FUCKING HATE STEVE JOBS either alive or dead, I fucking hate that guy and all the "steve jobs is god" and "apple is awesome, why don't you buy an iPad instead of an android tablet" stuff

[–]Mwight 27 points28 points ago

I hate that everyone thinks he created everything apple. I see apple fanboys who think he did all the technical work and all the physical work to create the products.

[–]chrisvnerd 14 points15 points ago

I'm with you on this one. He seemed like a miserable prick who managed to avoid the best things in life to design toys.

I don't like bacon. There, I said it.

[–]pretentious_pancake 14 points15 points ago

does he also hate that movie

[–]WarrenHarding[!] 411 points412 points ago

I live a lie.

At my school people call me "bacon" or "bacon guy". Not because I'm fat, or I have a pig nose, it's because I eat a lot of bacon. I don't even like bacon.

It all started about a year ago, my friend was eating a thing of bacon for breakfast, and he loved it so much that he said "God, who DOESN'T love bacon!?" When I raised my hand, he looked at me, startled. He said "I bet you never even had bacon before. Here try some." When I insisted not to, he said "BULLSHIT! Eat the bacon!" I ate it, and knowing my friend would just make me eat more if I said I didn't like it, I smiled and told him I was wrong, and it was delicious.

Every. Fucking. Day. Since then, my friend has brought me a whole plate of bacon for breakfast. If I don't go down to the cafeteria, he brings it up to me in my dorm. I have had to create a rigorous workout regime to burn all of the fat off too, but he just never stops with the bacon.

I hate bacon, I just want it to stop.

[–]ANewAccountCreated 152 points153 points ago

I don't wish to alarm you, but your roommate may be trying to kill you. By heart disease.

I cannot think of a more glorious death than death by bacon.

[–]Ghili 18 points19 points ago

Grow a pair and tell him you were living a lie.

[–]re_Pete 7 points8 points ago

Put your fucking foot down and put an end to that shit. Stop doing something you hate just cause you're scared of what MIGHT happen. Fuck that guy.

[–]jakesneef 117 points118 points ago

I hate nutella, siracha, first person shooters, most politics and Louis C.K. This is probably also why I will never win at reddit.

I know this goes against the unwritten code of reddit, but I don't like Pokemon.
