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 😊

@Reallyimeanreally2022 ah yes correct, I stand by that.

If there were two worlds, one filled with people that loved animals and one with people that hated animals, I know which one i'd prefer to live on!

Do you really think everyone else loves stupid people?

@OrangeJuiceAndNoodles

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.

Grin

That's what I'm aiming for as my personality!
OrangeJuiceAndNoodles · 29/09/2021 16:58

@LST that's hilarious 😂

@AlfonsoTheDinosaur Good shout re: Beyonce. Can't stand all the sycophancy around her. She's screamy and badly dressed.

[quote Ashleighz88]@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. [/quote]
Why are you conflating not liking dogs with not liking animals? I love animals just not dogs.

Also it's massively embarrassingly dramatic of you to make the jump to people not liking dogs and being serial killers. Imagine being this invested in people liking one particular animal. Fucking wild.

I dislike dogs. I don't wish them harm..it would upset me to see one being mistreated...I just don't want them around me.

As for other animals...I'm fairly ambivalent.

Yeah exactly I don't like dogs much neither does my partner. I think they're needy and dirty. It obviously doesn't mean I'd want to see one mistreated or wish any harm on them. It's actually quite bonkers to jump to that assumption as pp's seemed to.

Says more about them I think.

But the hyperbole on this thread is funny. I can't look away even though it's annoying!

*Before the drugs
They clearly had a great marriage

It was part of the story line that the drugs spoilt the marriage

And even afterwards she clearly loved him.

Would I dob in my terminally ill husband, father of my baby and teen, who doing it for the family (at least when she found out he was), no. Absolutely not*

Different strokes I guess! I saw it a bit differently, I saw him as cold/cut off or repressed in the beginning with the drugs giving him a spark/power to then behave aggressively towards his wife (and others). I get how you could see it that way though!

As for the dogs thing, people are terrified someone who doesn’t like dogs will commit cruelties on humans? Erm no they generally just don’t like dogs. Don’t worry we’re not working our way up to attacking humans in the street.

ohnonotyetplease · 29/09/2021 17:14

I think dogs are lovely and I'd love to be a dog person. But I have a visceral, deep seated fear of them and their barking which I have tried very hard to control/overcome, but have as yet failed.
It's quite incredible to me that I'd be regarded as untrustworthy because of this.

Strictly Come Dancing. I would literally rather watch anything else. I find it both boring and cringemaking.

MidnightMeltdown · 29/09/2021 17:32

Films / tv programmes / books about detectives. Nothing more boring than a 'who done it' IMO
