> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Oh! I’ve lived in Florida all my life and this is pretty much how I feel about the beach as well. Don’t forget about the glare, pointy creatures in the water, greasy lotion, and hanging around mostly naked! As a beach lover who sometimes snorkels, I can say that no, you really don’t want to put your feet down there. ---

Listening to music. I just don’t get it. I enjoy _playing_ music, that’s a fun challenge and it’s really cool when it all comes together. I appreciate some classical performances, sometimes, when I run across it on YouTube. But having music on as background noise? I’ve never seen the appeal of that. I _like_ quiet. Your infatuation with your ‘bands’ makes no sense to me. Fortunately I mostly just don’t care for/about music rather than actively disliking it. My husband can play whatever he likes (so long as it’s not horrifically out of tune) and I’ll happily ignore it. ---

Sports. Especially football. Spa stuff - yoga or massages - I can’t imagine getting a massage! Manicures. Height of stupid waste of time and money. Roller coasters. No. Never. Reality shows, especially the Kardashians - they are fake, repellent, everyone loathes them, but they will never ever go away from the TV. Water parks - WTF IS it with the incessant advertising all. summer. long. for water parks? McDonald’s. Everywhere else is OK. Not McDonald’s, ever. “Snack cakes” - dingdongs, blobblobs, who-whos. Ick! Pandora jewelry. ??? High heels. Public swimming pools. Glade plug-in smellies, and related products. A stench does not smell any better with a layer of Hawaiian fruit-toot or cheap imitation flowers over it. Pepsi. Snuggies - though I hope they’re still going to show commercials for them, and related garments, because the people wearing them look so hilarious! ---

I hate mayonnaise, celery, watermelon, pickles, coleslaw, and potato salad. I also don’t care for pickle relish. I would rather freeze to death than wear a Snuggie. I’m also bored with reality tv, I’m over phone books. I hate flip-flops. ---

Air conditioning. Everyone always has it too cold and I have to wear a jumper in summer! Why can’t I enjoy some warmth?? Why don’t you all just move to Tasmania, or better still, Antarctica. Why do you live in a warm climate if you don’t like warmth? Why??!!! ---

Going shopping “just to look around”. What? If I have money to go shopping, I will decide what I need and go get it. If I don’t have money, why would I want to “just go look”? I’d be sure to see something I really wanted. Loud children. People who yell “hey ref you suck” at hockey games. ---
