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 😊

These threads never end well, but mint chocolate is the devil's food. Tastes like dirt.
Mint ice cream too. Why would I want to eat chocolate/ ice-cream that tastes like toothpaste?

I always assumed I'd hate Dirty Dancing so only saw it for the first time about 2 years ago. I LOVED it and have watched it many times since. So YABU there.

OTOH baked beans are vile. I also dislike tomato ketchup and tea.

B n B’s, I don’t want to pay a strange person to sleep in their house. It creeps me out. Prefer an anonymous hotel.

Alcohol and Dogs, on the latter my annoyance is when I’m out with my toddler and dog owners get offended when I don’t make a fuss of their dog when it comes hurtling towards us. Am I the only one this happens to? I’ve had so many dog owners say, “he/she just wants to make friends with you” 🤨🤨 then they walk off in disgust shaking their head!

Alcohol Dogs Hen nights
Me too. Dogs, Ok if they belong to my family and I know them really well. Alcohol and hens parties - definitely NO.

Tea! Awful drink.
See also cucumber... Hate it.

Indeed the only alcohol I like is baileys or cocktails

Clubs, festivals, spa days,

Dirty Dancing and Grease are terrible, terrible films.

Am I allowed to say Ru Paul’s Drag Race? I watched the first series to try to fit in at work, but I just didn’t enjoy it.

Also hen parties/baby showers/anything of that ilk makes me cringe inside out for some inexplicable reason.

Auroreforet · 29/09/2021 07:09

@Kate3150. I have a dog and totally agree with you.
My dog adores children but weighs 18 kilos and sometimes jumps up.

If I see children, runners, cyclists coming towards us in an area where she’s alllowed off lead I grab her because she could easily knock a toddler over.
Fortunately her recall isn’t bad.

Cosmetics, hair dye, fake anything that masks your natural face

My children hate orange chocolate too, but I like it.

@FelicityBeedle I could have said pretty much exactly that. I rarely seek out music to listen to. I have tried to make an effort in the past as it seemed like the thing to do but as I have got older and please myself more I find I don't bother with it. My family will listen to stuff which is mostly fine. Very occasionally I will find a track actively annoying and ask them to switch it off. If someone puts on something I am familiar with then it might make me happy but it will be because of the things and people I associate it with rather than the music itself.
