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 😊

it's fucking grim and unhygienic.
We grew up in caves. A bit of wet dog on the bed is a pleasant reassuring odour. 🐕

I agree about Autumn, I'm just sad it's the end of the summer!

Also, massages.

Any festivals (music, food etc)
Holly willoughby (12 years ago, club in London, she was doing coke in toilets and was so rude, shockingly so)

Marshmallows and whipped cream with hot chocolate. It's a drink, why would you smother it in messy gunk?

Music. Pretty much any, if it’s quiet and in the background it doesn’t bother me but I don’t actively like any at all. I like audiobooks and podcasts and radio 4 in the background.

(I do have songs I’ll sing along to, but I will never seek them out)

This is the one that stands out to me as the most unusual; most other things are down to taste, or are things that you can just avoid, but I just can't imagine a life without music.

Road trips!!! Sooooooo much sitting still, potential for getting stuck in traffic, having to wait /search for toilet stops, views of motorway siding for hours before you get to the good bits...
Give me a train or plane or boat any day.

Bond films. I've tried. They leave me cold.

Increasingly alcohol. It's my age.

Video games. I'd like to like them tho. Perhaps someone could recommend me one which might change my mind.
