I don’t think Papyrus is necessarily a BAD typeface, but it was way, way, way overused for a long time. I can’t see it without assuming I’m looking at a grand opening flyer for a suburban day spa.
Sorta likewise comic sans. I think there are some bad things about it in general, but I mostly hate it because of the associations with the people who send emails using it.
Picking a place to eat lunch. I’m just trying to eat something and get out of the office for a little bit, not make sure that I’m eating something that fits my mood and coordinates well with the other meals I’m planning on eating this week.
Money. I grew up in a cash-strapped household and never had much. Now that I’m financially independent with a well paying job and no debt, looking at people struggling to pay for all their toys and splitting hairs over cash just seems crazy to me. I guess one of these days I’ll take things more seriously, but the furthest I’ve made it was to set up my employers 401k account. Now its taking care of itself, and I can go back to not caring.
I admit I’m borrowing from a comedian somewhere on how women should dress for men:
$300 shoes: We don’t notice
$1000 purse: We don’t notice
$15 shirt that shows cleavage: Oh yeah!
I do notice sexy shoes to a extent, but whether they are cheap knock-offs or $500 Manolos- not so much. As long as they make your butt look good and give you that wiggle- great!
People who argue about whether oral sex is sex. With only one exception it’s all the sex I’ve ever had, with a whole lot of people. I’m hardly a virgin.
Most post-Beatles pop music, and celebrities who are famous for being famous.
Team sports. When those guys start watching me doing my work, I’ll start watch them.
About kerning: For seven years I was employed by a major type company. I was in charge of kerning, for thousands of fonts. When you click on “optimal” kerning, you’re seeing my work. Nobody notices? That’s the point. Like music in movies, you usually don’t notice that it’s there, unless it’s really bad.
A lot of that depends on the source material- is it actually 1080p in the first place, and second, are you sitting at the right distance from your particular TV to be able to tell? In other words, you have to be sitting inside of some minimum threshold to be able to tell one from the other.
If you’re sitting 10’ away from a 40" 720p TV or 10’ away from a 40" 1080p TV, you probably won’t be able to tell them apart.
You can tell 1080 from 720, but you have to have real 1080 source material, and be sitting at the right distance, and probably most importantly, have just viewed some kind of 720 source material to be able to compare to.
As for the OP’s question… I’m another one who falls in the beer category. Generally speaking, I’m a craft beer or import guy, but if the party I’m at has nothing but Busch Light, I’ll happily drink it. I’m somewhat more picky about spirits, in that if I’m just drinking some kind of highball (rum & coke, gin & tonic, etc…) it’s not that important what spirit you use, as long as it’s stylistically correct. Nobody wants a bourbon and tonic, you know. But being picky about having Evan Williams vs. Knob Creek? Only if I’m having it straight or in something like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, where the quality might actually make a difference.
In general, I have opinions about what I like, and if I’m buying for myself or my family, I’ll usually go get something that fits those opinions. But if I’m somewhere else, I’ll just roll with it. For example, I prefer Hunt’s ketchup, and Diet Pepsi, but if I go to a hamburger joint, and all they have is Heinz and Diet Coke, I’m fine with it, even though it’s not my favorite.
Finally… I’m not a pizza snob. I’ll go to work on a frozen Totino’s pizza and think it’s awesome, just like I’ll get down on some Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani certified pizza from a local place. Or I’ll get some Pizza Hut and be happy. Sometimes I even make my own from scratch- it’s pretty damn good too. Clearly some are better than the others, but I don’t turn my nose up at the frozen or cheap stuff.
Altho I love Totinos, and have several in my freezer right now- I am not sure if they can be actually called "pizza’ anymore after one has eaten a few of those wonderful Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani certified pizzas. They are quite unlike American Pizza.
Oh, I’ve eaten pizza in Rome, Milan, Florence and Siena, as well as New York City, and they’re all very different than almost any frozen pizza.
There’s just a wide range of what can be called pizza, and Totino’s frozen pizzas are kind of like the Taco Bell, or the frozen burrito of Tex-Mex/Mexican food.
Except that (for the price) Totinos are surprising tasty. In fact, I think last time we had a Frozen Pizza poll here, they won!:eek:
I love Totinos!
Hint: most of these women aren’t wearing this stuff for you. We don’t care if you notice the shoes or the purse. WE like them, so we’re wearing them.
As for toilet seat down – ever have to bathe a cat that’s fallen in the toilet? Lid closed, please. 
Unless you want to lose some skin.
Pfft. I don’t even wash.
Wouldn’t that be something you are picky about, then? Wearing comfortable clothes. A lot of the answers here fall less into things many people are picky about but you’re not (celebrities? No one is picky about celebrities) and more into the well-traveled “why do people <do this thing I don’t do/care about this thing I don’t care about>?”
My name. I’m horrible at names and was never totally a big fan of my name so calling me “bub” or “bud” or even just “hey you” even from people I’ve known and worked with a while doesn’t bother me.
Sheets. I don’t care about the thread count. Are they cotton? Are they fairly smooth? That’s okay then. I think maybe high thread counts make them more slippery, which is not good, but I could have that backwards.
Also, a relative of my acquaintance recently told me I’m making the bed wrong. The pattern on the top sheet faces down, not up. Okay, whatever. This is a thing I would never ever have noticed. I’m not even sure I can tell which is the “right” side.
Also–and this is kind of weird–if I’m listening to someone play the piano, or if I’m playing a piano myself, I don’t particularly care if it’s out of tune. I don’t know why. It sure bothers me with any other instrument, but with the piano, no.
I do not give a damn about germs. I don’t use hand sanitizer, or worry when someone sneezes.
Maybe because a piano is out of tune even when it’s in tune.
