Tiramisu.
I don’t get it.
It’s edible, I guess, but I don’t even drink coffee. Yet people expect you to swoon over the mere thought of tiramisu.
Is there something mental going on with it? Is it some sort of big boy dessert to some people that they’re rewarded with only once they’ve reached a certain age and have been waiting for it half their life? Or are they nuts from caffeine combined with sugar and fat?
I’d rather just get a slice of cheesecake, or just about any other dessert.
Small talk and scotch. I’ve tried to acquire both tastes for 30 years, but they are still as awful as the first sip.
Buffets or “All You Can Eat” type places.
Jeans. I hate them. Not the way they look but the way they feel. They’re uncomfortable!
Jazz since 1958.
I always feel too much pressure. Everything I eat lowers my unit cost. Must. Have. More. Pork Fritters.
None. In certain situations, I feel like I am committing blasphemy or something when I get asked who I like in “the game” and I answer with “what game?”. As a young man who likes to work out, many people assume I must like to watch sports as well. Nothing could be further from the truth.
He’s right, dammit!
I live in L.A. and not only is the ocean cold for swimming, but it also makes for colder temps the closer you are to the coast. Come to think of it, that does have its advantages in that the entire coastal region up to several miles in is much more comfortable than, say, the San Fernando Valley. The downside is that it frequently happens that you decide to head for the beach on a day that’s warm where you are, only to find that it’s 10 or 15 degrees cooler in Santa Monica.
Visual porn. Seriously. I just am not interested in seeing naked or partially naked bodies no matter what they are doing.
Most TV- dramas or sitcoms-especially shows where characters are mean or rude to each other. I wouldn’t have these people for friends, why should I let them in my house?
Romance novels.
Beer (I do enjoy wine and the occasional apple, pear etc. spirit, though).
Sports club fandom (I occasionally enjoy watching a good soccer game but am not emotionally invested in who wins. Also I don’t see what our national team in a particular sport has got to do with our nation.)
Driving for pleasure rather than getting from A to B
Parties (as opposed to get-togethers of small groups where you can talk. I abhor events where you have a choice between shouting and shutting up).
Dancing.
TV (I used to watch TV in my youth; in the last decades programming seems to have become more and more vacuous. When my SO’s TV died I gave her my TV that had not been switched on for five years.)
It’s the current dry skin treatment. Bacon grease used to be popular, but they don’t get much bacon lately. Most ‘beef’ served here is mostly soy. But they do get real chicken, and it comes with a somewhat greasy gravy.
Back when I was working in the admin department of a call center, people seemed inordinately obsessed with American Idol , Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor.
They looked at me like I was some kind of alien when I indicated that I not just didn’t watch these shows, I actively avoided them.
(No offense, fans, I just find all the drama very stressful and hate to see people criticized and demoralized.)
I do watch Survivor however which may be just as bad. 
I hate horseradish! I think I might even be allergic.
Twitter - meh
Hugh Grant is a sleazeball but he has a couple of good movies.
I can’t believe people still watch these shows. They were kind of a novelty in their first seasons but after that they each got old, repetitive, and dumber the longer they stayed on the air. Same for the crap that is The Apprentice, Biggest Loser, Amazing Race, Project Runway, etc. After watching one season why would you ever watch another?
Fantasy [insert sport of choice here]
Sports fanaticism
Celebrity gossip/shows/fanaticism
50 Shades of Meh
You need the right car. I’m one of those people that can just get out and drive, and I typically have some sort of convertible around (Boxster S currently) for when it’s nice out.
My thing is swimming. I learned how, of course, but it’s not my idea of a good time. Heck, it’s why I’ve never done a triathlon and stuck with marathoning.
Insanely spicy food. I’m okay with something that has a kick, but I don’t consider “pain” a flavor additive.
Collecting things. I don’t get the attraction of having things for the sole purpose of telling people, “Hey. Look at the shit I have.”
The closest I ever came was maybe records, or books. But the only reason I ever had anything approximating a collection of either is because I don’t throw them away after I listen to/read them.
My mother has this collection of crystals – little figurines/animals/designs, all pretty tasteful, not gawdy. But they just sit there in a cabinet and maybe somebody glances a them once a month or so. And yet … there they are. I don’t get it.
Oh! You remind me. Those Pandora bracelets. One, I don’t think they’re pretty. And two, no one is interested in your life story expressed in jewelry. They have this commercial where two women in an airport meet for the first time and strike up a conversation because apparently one of them has the desire to hear the meaning behind all the charms on the other’s bracelet. Uh no, I don’t think that has ever, ever happened. And why would you want it to?
Have you ever driven one as opposed to sitting on the back? The few times I’ve ridden as passenger it’s been a frightful experience, and I’ve been a motorcyclist for over 40 years. Earplugs and a nice helmet can make your ride more pleasant. Before a long ride, eat a couple of Advil; it helps.
I’ve never been able to sit through an entire episode of American Idol, and it’s been on the air for almost half my life.
I don’t think that’s why people collect things. I mean, I don’t collect things either so I also don’t really get it, but I’ve always been of the opinion that it’s a manifestation of some vestigial instinctive behavior. I have no real basis for this idea other than the fact that people who collect things always make me think of a squirrel stashing acorns or some shit.
Seeing the game played at the highest level. I only watch professional sports. Even college sports is like watching peewee league for me because most of the players aren’t good enough to even make the cut of a professional team, let alone excel at the pro level.
