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 😊

Onions. It's in everythingAngry so assume people must love it

I agree with the poster who said pets. I do totally understand the appeal for pet owners, animals are fascinating and engaging but find it a really old fashioned concept. I feel the same about zoos and other animal attractions.

Travel seems odd to me. I don't mean the bog standard holiday or moving to a different country. It's that specific type of travel, the gap year gawping, it also seems incredibly old fashioned to me.

Taking children to see Father Christmas. I find it so uncomfortable and never quite know how to behave.

Sliced bread. Everything about it is so awful.

Seafood. Insects of the ocean. They don't look nice to eat and they don't taste nice either.

The thing that gives me the absolute rage are cafes that warm up your scones in the microwave. I cannot adequately express how much I hate this.

Seeing houses that are all grey inside, ( there are lots of them in my village, all seeming inhabited by young couples who have moved here.

Those really massive TV'S, mounted on the walls, in a little old terraced house, with a tiny living room.. You feel like you could bring a chair along, and sit outside their window, and watch a movie, like going to the cinema.

Flavoured gin - it might be a nice colour and the bottle is pretty but it all tastes the same

Being served gin in 'fish bowl' type glasses - too easy to knock over!
