I seriously don’t get the current fad of chrome fuel doors on vehicles, specifically pick ups. Examples [here](http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/3345/461/33360230011_large.jpg) and [here](http://cdn.content.compendiumblog.com/uploads/user/e9599c95-f8f5-4410-a9fd-6fe52637538d/99fd4da8-9124-42cd-9b4b-62e542d7da40/Image/7026262b2db5b057530d84fe6266bca0.jpg). I get it: you want to trick your truck, but often, the only thing you’ve done is put this aluminum fuel door on, and frankly, it looks dumb. But it’s extremely popular, and I just don’t get the appeal. ---

I don’t like alumni associations-who wants to associate with somebody you never knew at school? The Superbowl-although sometimes the halftime show is OK. Stock car racing: sitting out in the hot sun, inhaling exhaust fumes, and eating junk food doesn’t appeal to me. Chinese “buffets”-like watching hogs feed. Political speeches-listening to some hack read something that was written for him, which is saying as little as possible, using as much verbiage as possible. ---

I get it: you want to trick your truck, but often, the only thing you’ve done is put this aluminum fuel door on, and frankly, it looks dumb. But it’s extremely popular, and I just don’t get the appeal. On the topic of car features that have become popular that I not only don’t care for, but actively hate - low profile tires! I’m guessing people like them because 1) the wheels are larger, and 2) the sidewalls are more rigid, improving high-speed performance. But I despise them, and I ruled out several cars that use them during my last car purchase process. I had them on my previous car, a Mazda3, and they made the ride rough to the point that driving on anything but a newly paved smooth road was a chore; the short distance between the tire surface and wheel caused me to crack a wheel after hitting a relatively minor pothole; and replacing them is EXPENSIVE and they don’t last too long. I never plan to get another car with low-profiles. And it pretty much rules out my ever getting another Mazda, even though I like everything else about their cars. ---

I get it: you want to trick your truck, but often, the only thing you’ve done is put this aluminum fuel door on, and frankly, it looks dumb. But it’s extremely popular, and I just don’t get the appeal. I am somewhat bemused by Truck Nuts. I’ve seen them on trucks. Now, maybe it’s an ironic statement in some cases, but I think that most of them are actually proclamations of the driver’s masculinity. Also, I don’t get traveling for pleasure. Especially today. I might travel to go to a specific event, or to see specific people. But I really DON’T want to just travel. I don’t even want to do a lot of driving around looking at the Xmas lights. ---

Cola. Every once in a great while I’ll take a taste of Coke or Pepsi and think, “Really? People actually like this stuff? They enjoy it more than all sorts of other things they could be drinking, to the point where it’s the ubiquitous default drink? Surely all the advertising must have brainwashed them.” ---
