Things you love, which most people hate!

[ScruffMuffin]

As we have a thread about popular things we hate, I thought it might be fun to hear about the opposite.

Unpopular things that I think are great include:
Bagpipes
The deeply unfashionable Fairport Convention
Pickled gherkins/ onions/ beetroot/ cabbage!

I draw the line at pickled eggs. I was given one in error at the chippy once, and namely tried it. It was like trying to bite into a bouncy ball.

Most people don't hate God. We just don't believe he exists. There's a big difference.

I love living in remote, rural areas (I'm young, healthy, and I can drive, so I have no issues with getting around). A lot of people (family and friends included) think that I am insane, and do not understand how I can live in the "a* end of nowhere". They got scared looking at where I was moving to on Google Maps/Earth, because there is "nothing but greenery!" and, "Where's the nearest shop?" 😁

They would be horrified if I moved to the place that I aspire to, because Google Earth doesn't exist there, and there is only one shop within about 27 miles. Alternatively, they'd just chalk it up to me being weird again!

I was reminded of another thing that I love today, which shocks/horrifies a lot of people... and they say that they couldn't face it. I love being single! I enjoy my own company and space, and making my own way in the world, doing what I like... on my own! I do not need a partner when I am perfectly happy by myself!

Me too! More chance of me winning the Grand National on foot than there is of me being in a relationship again.

Off-topic, but that reminds me. I teach a child who spent the summer holidays last year with a broken foot. She sustained the injury while practising show-jumping... without the aid of her pony!!

I'm loving this thread. We get to rejoice in our self-professed weirdness, and there's no judgement. Lovely.

Same! no hairdryer, love staying home for weeks at a time without having to talk to anyone.

When I am out, however, I do enjoy random one off convos with strangers at bus stops, in shops etc; so not totally asocial/anti social!

@Notsosweetcaroline I wonder if that’s you’re not a picky eater but rather you just don’t like British food? That’s a genuine question BTW. Do you prefer other countries’ cuisines or foods that are spicier?

I love the smell of cannabis, I'm not a user of it. All of my friends hate the smell so much.

Same!....silence is golden.....I find sometimes often that even having the TV or radio on is irritating and find absolute quiet peaceful and healing....
But then, yes, can talk the hind legs off a donkey with a close friend or random stranger😂...maybe that's why I need the peace and quiet to balance it out?🤔

I do however like a quick blast with the hairdryer on my roots otherwise my hair looks limp/flat🤦🏻‍♀️

Not liking something is very different to hating it though.

Not at all. There are things I don’t like, but don’t actively hate. Hate is a very strong emotion for something we all start as.

Euston station
Avocado bathroom suites
Industrial landscapes
Harrison Birtwistle
February
Suburbs

Spiders

unannounced visitors

Oh yes and this!

Amazing!
Both are a big NO from me lol
But great that we're all different 🤗
