DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Things You Hate ... That Most People Love

Having a discussion last night with a few people about things that most people really enjoy ... but that we actually dislike. It became kind of a fun and enlightening conversation haha.

Here were a few things I mentioned:

- Vacations. I’m not saying I hate taking small vacations ... but anything more than a few days drives me crazy. I hate the process of packing, traveling, taking a long time, being out of my routine, thinking about stuff I need to get done when I get back, not knowing where I’m going, etc.

- Steak. This has more to do with my genetics I think ... but steak has never sat well with me. I don’t digest it well or something. Most guys die for it ... and I pretty much avoid it.

- Concerts. I enjoy good music and can listen to a wide variety ... but I don’t enjoy going to concerts. Too loud, too many people, too crowded, too much traffic, etc. I’d just as well listen to a good track in the car or working out.

- Getting haircuts. I’m always surprised to hear that people love getting their hair cut ... I can’t stand it! I hate how I feel afterwards and it always takes me a good week or two to feel normal again.

- And just to throw a Browns related comment ... Doug Dieken. Here’s the thing ... I love the fact that he’s a franchise legend and so loyal ... but I dislike him as a color guy (and I think he’s getting worse). He interrupts, groans, and truthfully doesn’t add much to the broadcast. I always feel like Jimmy D is carrying the booth. If Doug weren’t a staple in Cleveland he’d never get a job IMO (and I hate even listing this one haha).

coffee
beans (any and all)
mustard
pickles
lettuce
cabbage
spam
classical music
opera
ice tea
pepper

Ok I'll go,

Steaks: I agree, my stomach always hurts after I eat one.
Coffee: The smell just kills me
Pickles: The taste, the texture, and the GD juice gets everywhere
Those fake home improvement shows: Just the whole thing is so scripted, but they act like it's not. I guess I would be ok with it if they didn't act so fake.
Def Leoppard: That guys voice is so annoying, everytime they are on the radio, I'll change it our worse, just turn it off.

Coffee
Sauerkraut
Liver
Twangy country music

What? Few things in life are better than a fresh-brewed coffee and a smoke first thing in the morning...

Oh, I forgot to add Cigarettes to my list.

Thanks for reminding me.

People who camp in the left lane.

*Note to myself* Leave my Conway Twitty CD's at home when I'm with Ytown

Lol. I don't think most people love those jerks.

Fantasy related movies. Feel like I'm the only one on the planet that hasn't seen any of the Lord of the Rings.

Comic book movies. I saw the original Batman with Michael Keaton. Don't think I've seen any comic book movie since.

About two years ago coffee was on the list for me. Now I drink one/day.

But I will add Starbucks. I do not understand the appeal of that place. It costs over $4 for a large iced tea. And I refuse to say the Italian name for the sizes.

Aaron Rodgers. About 4 years ago I said I just didn't see what all the hoopla was about. 4 years later people are just now starting to say the same thing.

Dawgtalkers. This place is a cesspool. It's like an accident I can't turn my eyes from.

Ouch!!! A more apt description would be 'cosmopolitan'...

Since the New Year, I've cut my habit to single digits/day...

Star Wars

Pumpkin spice

Steph Curry/Golden State

Reality TV

Yeah, I never really cared for the spice girls either.

Cats - go away.

Cat people - love to tell you how much they love cats and how unique they are.

Amish Country - enough of the novelty act.

People that write checks at stores.

CBS sitcoms and NCIS - Horrible.

"Don't even talk to me until I've had my coffee" type people. - Ok buddy, grow up and go away.

I second Rish on the Italian names at Starbucks and I'll add the Starbucks lingo in general, "I'll have a venti, half-caf, skinny vanilla latte." - Stop it.

In-N-Out Burger. Extremely over-hyped and overrated. And enough of the "did you get it animal style, bro?"

ketchup
sandals on men
New Years Eve
"Its A Wonderful Life"
Queen, Steve Miller Band, Grateful Dead, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Prince
sitcoms not named "Seinfeld, The Office, News Radio, or Parks and Recreation"
hospital/doctor/medical TV dramas
hashtags in front of a word or phrase
Musicals (stage or movies)
vanilla or tropical scented candles, body wash, or bathroom anti-poop sprays/plug-ins

I’ll also agree about fantasy type movies (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc) ... cant get into them at all

The bands Rush, and U2.
People that don’t like coffee.
Broccoli
Small dogs (if it can’t protect you just get a cat)
The movie Titanic.
Leonardo DeCaprio in general.
Reality TV

You're dead to me.

I agree. It’s okay but it’s nothing special. It certainly is overhyped. There’s a chain in the NW called Burgerville. Much much better than In and Out.

SATAN!
Racism
Steelers
Ravens
Bengals
Broncos
Liver/Onions
Peas
Spinach
Cats
Any Music except Christian except (see below)
A little Country/Classic Rock sometimes
Golf
Tennis
Auto Racing

Game of thrones.

I just couldn’t get into it. Then people started repping their favorite characters like gang wars and it got even more annoying.

Guacamole. Can't stand the stuff!

(Wait for guac fans to go wild now)

Spaghetti O's

Little Richard

Citizen Kane

This. I made it through about 3 episodes before checking out. Every time I see my brother in law he tells me I need to give it another chance. I always say maybe just to move on from the conversation.

Again, this kind of falls under the fantasy category for me. Just can't get into it. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. I was raised on Star Wars episodes 4 - 6 growing up, and I liked them, but I just watched episode 1 for the first time on Sunday. My plan was to watch them all in order. I could barely get through episode 1. Now I don't think I'm going to go any further.

It's supposed to be stuff that most people like.

1-3. Cars nowadays

Too complicated, not fun to drive. Sacrificing soul and purpose to try to attract the 'average consumer' (that doesn't exist, imo).

In and Out Burger for sure ... It’s not any better than other joints IMO

I just can't accept this.

what do you like from there specifically? The burgers, fries, everything?

Yes, everything, but it is important how you order. I don't want Milk to make fun of me, but you do have to order your burger animal style. Double double, animal style, with chopped chilis. Fries are good, probably not the best, but you can also get them animal style (sauce, grilled onions, cheese).

In and Out is an institution!

Waiting in line for average food?

In and Out is straight trash compared to 5-Guys (or most other burger joints, for that matter). Waited forever for the opportunity, finally hit one up in Hollywood. Got my food, took a bite, looked around for the Candid Camera crew. Was so excited to try the "legendary" Animal Style Fries... Fries covered in thousand island with American cheese? Really??

I kinda doubt "that most people love" Satan and racism.

You're going to come back with 5 guys? Oy vey!

It's the first thing that popped into my head... But yeah, every day and twice on Sundays!

I never had In and Out, but I do love Five Guys - best I've had. When I'm too lazy to cook and a bit too lubricated to drive, I order from a place called Brown Bag Burgers on Doordash. Not quite as good as Five Guys, but still really good, plus its free delivery while Five Guys is $5.99 delivery on top of your total (including 20-25% tip).

You don't like guac????

Yeah, I agree with you. Green mush.

I'm having a hard time making a list because I am not sure that "most people love" these things, but I do think they are popular.

--Elvis. Never could stand the dude. Thought he was fake. I didn't think he had a good voice, either.

--Oysters. Oyster Roasts are very popular here in SC. I can't stand the things. Eating one is like swallowing a big gob of snot.

--Bing Crosby. Another singer/actor who I thought was fake as hell.

--Pickles. I especially hate them on a sandwich. I always ask for them to leave them off. Sometimes they forget. Even the juice that seeps into the bread is repulsive.

--Baker. LOL.......I really don't hate him, but I am chuckling because it will pizz people off.

<eyeroll emoji> !!

This adds fuel to the overrating of In-N-Out burgers. People like to tell you their wacky orders! A double double, what's that? Just a double cheeseburger. Animal Style? What, you added some onions? Just stop it. This is Starbucks ordering with burgers!

It's a place that I think people feel they have to say they like because it's "just the thing to do."

I'd wager people like placing their "secret" order more than they do the actual food.

In-N-Out could not hold a candle to Swenson's.

Begin the burger wars!
