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 😊

Musicals. I hate the style of singing and with a few exceptions, the tunes are not very good.
Jazz. It makes me wince.
Bond. I've never managed to watch a Bond film without sighing and switching off.
Drag. Men pretending they are women, with the barely disguised misogyny, is really beginning to piss me off

Mint chocolate
Long nails
Selfies. I've been in selfies with others when drunk, but to post a sober solo one just screams narcissism to me.
Phil & Holly
Baby showers

Jaxhog · 30/09/2021 13:31

Depressing soap operas e.g. Corrie, East Enders, HollyOaks etc.

Loveme2times · 30/09/2021 13:32

There are lots of things that I know a majority of my friends like, or use, or are interested in ... but that are not for me. So that's not *everyone", but to add to the list

I don't care for these (but many/most of my friends do)

  • reality TV
  • soap operas
  • porn
  • physical books (I read on an iPad)

P.S.: There is almost a need for an inverse list? of things we like that most others do not enjoy

Agree about selfies ….. and worse when someone strong arms you into one and posts it on SM when you are a private person….I always look caught of guard whilst the perpetrator looks gorgeous having perfected their pout …. !!

TikfuckingTok - infantile shite. I wish idiots would stop sharing on WhatsApp groups I need to be part of. Never watch the content but I still hate it.

The world is free to make and watch the stupid videos all they want as long as it doesn't involve any animals but I don't want to hear about it or see it.

Funny animal videos are all I watch on tiktok!
AlfonsoTheDinosaur · 30/09/2021 15:07

I am amused by some of the items on this list. I should say that everyone's likes and dislikes are valid and I have no comment on them; I'm just amused by what some people dislike.

I really cringe at a specific type of tik tok video I see a lot.

It will be a man or woman then in type on the video it comes up an ordinary thing like ‘places you need to visit.’ Then the person will start doing a stupid dance and pointing all over the screen while their list of places to visit comes up. The entire time the person’s face will be held in a ‘posey’ way, not quite smiling.

I don’t mind a dance video if it shows any type of talent but it isn’t like that. Just make a list, you on screen doesn’t add to this in any way and it’s embarrassing.

The4thForm · 30/09/2021 17:23

I'm probably a bit out there with these, relative to my friends, but these are the ones for me :)

Soap operas (such a waste of time)
Cocktails/spirits (but I do love wine)
True crime stories (these are real people)
Star Wars (I really don't get it)
Getting oral (giving is fine for me)
Gym (prefer to be outdoors running, or playing a team sport)

20Past3 · 30/09/2021 17:32

Here are a few things I dislike, but I know that some or most of my close friends would strongly disagree with:

tea/coffee I never got into it
vibrators not for me since I have a DH and hands
sunbathing/pool/resort holidays
rap music

Kanaloa · 30/09/2021 17:35

I misread this as ‘visitors’ and was wondering what you were making visitors do before you had a DH.
