@gentlelunette: WWHHAATT?!?! That is serious blasphemy!

Pumpkin flavored anything. Barf.

My husband is a fan of Jordans and expensive sneakers, and I do not get it AT ALL. He only has a few pairs, but it seems like a big waste of many to me. Most of them are ugly AF. It's one of our main sources of conflict, haha! I own maybe 10 pairs of shoes. So clearly I don't understand show obsession in general.

Tory Burch shoes (same vein). I just don't think they are attractive. The large metal logo looks like it's hanging on for dear life at the end of the foot. They just look silly.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette.

I agree about the paleo I mean atkins with vegetables. I thought it was common knowledge that a vegetarian lifestyle is best for optimum health.

I also am turned off by displays of wealth.

@Greentea: I'm not into fitness/diet trends/whatever but I didn't know completely vegetarian was truly healthier. I just always thought of it as sort of lower calorie.

I don't like, or have any interest in watching the following shows: Friends, SNL, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad

There are only like 5 fruits I'll eat, only raw/whole. I will not eat anything with fruit cooked in it, and most things flavored withdraw fruit. I don't like fruit that's been, mashed, smashed, puréed, pied, jammed, jellied, emacerated, etc. but I will eat some in a smoothie

I don't really like chocolate. No chocolate milk, cake, frosting.

I really don't understand the Disney obsession. I have never been to Disney, and would not be sad if I never go.

I hate all coffee shop drinks, including regular coffee and tea. No lattes, cappuccinos, iced coffees, frappés, etc.

I'm sure there is more, but can't think of anything else

I hate pb@j - jelly is fine. Pb is fine. Together? Bleugh

I love mcdonalds. In my circle at least that's not something you own up to.

@Portboston: I'm the Same! I hate syrup and jam/jelly

@delight: I'm also not a cake fan unless it's made of ice cream.

I also hate the smell of vanilla brown sugar or whatever that B&BW soap is called. I always have to immediately wash my hands with something else if I accidentally use it.

@T.H.O.U.: I mean, I buy it too - there are times when the texture works better, like when I'm making Greek food or because its easier for DS to try and spoon at 18 months. But I try to buy full fat or at least 2%. Most of the stuff out there isn't really even strained Greek yogurt, its like nonfat yogurt stuffed full of powdered nonfat milk and weird stuff - hence the chalky paste business.

I don't really like pasta and not a big pizza fan. So heavy!

I used to not have a sweet tooth at all and wasn't a big fan of dessert...until pregnancy. Now I just want all the pastries and cupcakes and cookies!

I'm also not that into films/movies. I respect that they're legit art but I just have zero interest in most movies. But I do love me some Marvel Cinematic Universe. I think I just have too short of an attention span and I'm too sensitive/emotional for intense dramas!

I am indifferent to bacon.

Also: I HATE BOURBON. It's a problem when you live in horse racing/Derby/Bourbon country.

@2littlepumpkins: @CHARM54: @reese: meat pies are a totally different ballgame. Just please.... leave the slimy fruit out of it.

I don't really get watching TV. I think it's kind of a waste of time. I'd rather read a book or play a video/board game.

I also hate sports. Pretty much universally. I see no value in professional sports, at all.

Ah, I forgot to mention celebrity worship. We are all human. People being famous for nothing but a sex tape makes me ticked. The grocery store checkout gives me anxiety. I do enjoy country music, occasional movies, the NFL and more than a few shows but I do not idolize or obsess. When people talk about celebrities and know everything about them it makes me eye roll. It's a form of entertainment, they are not your friends.

I dont spend a lot of money to keep pets alive. I mean, I take good care of them- shots, well fed, etc. but when the time comes the time comes. I know people who have taken out personal loans to keep dogs alive and it makes zero sense to me. To be fair, my mom grew up on a farm and so I think we were raised with a similar attitude about animals. I think a lot of veterinarians play on people's emotions, and practice a version of medicine that is only sometimes rooted in actual science. We were once quoted 2 grand for a diagnostic procedure on a cat, and then shamed for deciding not to do it (and ultimately putting the cat down when he began suffering).
I'm usually pretty open about my opinions, but I keep that one to myself. Because people think I am heartless for it.

I don't like the beach. But let me be clear- walking the beach, swimming, boating, finding treasures (sea shells, glass) -I love- but I don't like laying around. I don't get it. And I don't like seeing other people's butts that much. I am a very conservative beach dresser. And sunscreen seems gross and I don't like sand everywhere.

I lived on a beach for a summer as a biologist, so maybe that tainted my view!

@Silva: yup! I hate the guilt trip. My Mom was a farm kid too- her dogs never saw a vet. They are my companions but they are not people. It's a racket.

@Silva: YES! Animals are not people. I had a (childless) friend post on FB that she was getting a glimpse into parenthood because her dog woke up early to be let outside. Um, no. You're not. I can't just open a door and say there you go to my baby when he's up all night 🙄
