Was watching a music countdown the other day and one of the songs from dirty dancing came on, I casually mentioned to my mum how I like the song but dislike the movie.... my mum almost lost her shit....
Like it was a criminal offence to not like it.
Tell me something you dislike but everyone loves..
Can be anything 😊

Breaking Bad - I just can't figure out how the storyline could go on for so long

@Chemenger

People who don't like animals.
I used to like all animals but then dog owners made me start hating dogs.

Junk food

Crisps, burgers, pizza, chocolate, popcorn etc

Just leaves me feeling… bleurgh

Give me a beautiful fresh fruit salad, a bowl of Greek yoghurt and granola, a handful of nuts, a tomato salad over the above kind of foods… any day!

Interesting, this. Because whenever I eat junk food, it’s never as nice as I expected it to be before I started eating it. And whenever I eat a salad, it tastes nicer than I expect and I wonder why I don’t eat it more often.

Life is so FUCKING confusing.

Football, I just don't get it.

Bond films = boring, to me.

Having a bajillion friends. I don't need everyone to like me. I don't need to go to every party. I don't care about FOMO. I don't like making small talk and I'm comfortable with silence. I'm ok with the handful of friends I have.

I loved breaking bad (especially the early ones) but I totally know what you mean.

Especially when skylar found out and kept it a secret because Walt basically said oh everyone will judge/blame you. Err no they won’t you’re the one cooking meth?

I got irritated at that section of the programme because there was absolutely no reason she couldn’t tell her bil that this was all going on and have him removed from the home and arrested. And tell her son too so he could stop disrespecting her. She could have got on aibu and everyone would have told her that.

Music festivals- My idea of hell
Tattoos - something about them being permanent terrifies me
Going to the cinema - I hate paying a small fortune to hear other people eating and rustling wrappers

For people who actively don't like dogs, I wouldn't tell people this if I was you. Is very unattractive, like part of your soul must be missing.

I don't mind dogs, its just that some owners are objectionable

@Sugaris

Genuinely can’t remember last time I had chocolate, sweets, popcorn, burger etc.

No bloating, no feeling bleurgh and…. Not had a cold, cough or even sniffles in about 10 years

Out of interest. Is this your view relating to all animals without exception?

Or just dogs?

Ashleighz88 · 29/09/2021 15:11

Anyone disliking dogs clearly had something go wrong in their childhood, how can you not like dogs or animals, I find it so weird.

Ashleighz88 · 29/09/2021 15:17

@10cheethahcubs totally agree, I don't trust anyone that doesn't like dog's/animals. I genuinely think it's a failing of emotional development. It's no coincidence most serial killers kill animals first.

Some people don’t like the smell or find dogs annoying. It’s not that odd. They’re generally noisy and unpredictable.

I like some well behaved dogs but even then I generally don’t want them around me for long periods.

* I got irritated at that section of the programme because there was absolutely no reason she couldn’t tell her bil that this was all going on and have him removed from the home and arrested. *

She loved him
They’d had a wonderful marriage to date
They had a baby daughter together and a teen son with a physical disability
They were financially in very difficult position
He had terminal cancer

Good enough reasons for me not to immediately tell my police bil

Kanaloa · 29/09/2021 15:21

I guess it depends on how you define wonderful marriage. From my perspective it didn’t seem like it and I didn’t get the whole her being a martyr and allowing it to be brought across as if she had broken the marriage up for no reason. It was like for the sake of the plot they had to say oh she couldn’t possibly tell anyone and then he just pushed his way back in. It bugged me, especially how he lied to the police making her look crazy.

I like dogs
I love children

However I totally get why others may not

And sure as heck wouldn’t insinuate they have serial killer tendencies!

Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of dogs either and no childhood trauma. Actually, its more dog owners who think everyone else should worship their dog as much as they do.
Ashleighz88 · 29/09/2021 15:22

@Kanaloa there are a lot of smelly children and people in the world.. doesn't mean all humans smell.

In my personal experience every single person I've met that doesn't like dogs/animals has been cold and emotionless.

TedMullins · 29/09/2021 15:24

Yeah I have to agree on not liking animals (not just dogs). Fine if you don’t want a pet yourself or you find jumpy dogs annoying (I’ve got a dog, he is annoying sometimes), but I’ve met people who say they just don't care about animals at all and actively dislike them which is a huge turn off to me.

Ashleighz88 · 29/09/2021 15:25

@Reallyimeanreally2022 I didn't say that. The facts are most serial killers have started on animals first, lack of emotional connection.
