Hey Pandas, What Is Something That Everyone Loves But You Absolutely Hate? (Closed)
I would like to know what is that one thing everyone loves, but you simply can't stand.
This post may include affiliate links.
People who are famous for no reason at all, such as ALL of the Kardashians and Paris Hilton just to name a few. Please stop throwing attention at them so they'll go away.
Friends, the sitcom. They're all so dumb and fake, I never managed to sit through one entire episode.
Not sure this is beloved by everyone, but AI.
AI related things, including "art", have been flooding websites (including BP), and it takes away creativity, while also looking ugly to boot. Not to mention the many hiccups and fails they tend to have.
AI "art" feels and looks very soulless, sterile, and has no personality compared to something drawn or painted by an actual human.
Compared to my fellow gays (hello!), I cannot stand Musicals. I don’t get the concept of every so often, people just randomly break into song and dance. Makes no sense.
Meanwhile, me, a middle aged cis woman who's straight: "I'm singin' in the rain! Just singin' in the rain!'
Drugs. I don't get the appeal, and I hope I never do.
I’ve never been exposed to drugs, but after reading a lot of books and seeing stuff on TV (not to mention after taking Health class) I have been forever scarred from ever doing drugs. They’re bad for you, they can kill you, decrease your years of life, and your addictions can get in the way of living your life. Same with alcohol. Never trying that, even when I’m old enough.
Sport. I do not give a flying f**k which team is competing against which team, or what score they got. I have zero investment in them. I specifically despise international football as it is meaningless. I mean if you buy players from other countries and teams to make your team win, it's no longer your national team, it's just an international hodgepodge team. I respect skill talent etc., but the level of fascination people have with this concerns me, not to mention the vast amount of money involved. I'd really prefer if people were that interested in scientists and their achievements instead of being covid denialists of antivaxxers. I mean... your idea of interesting is whether a guy can carry a ball across a field and deposit it on the grass. Really? No wonder you don't understand how RNA works.
I don’t care about sports either. I don’t hate them, I’m just indifferent
“Reality” TV.
I'd guild this if I could. That 'reality' is all scripted. Nothing spontaneous, nothing real. Worst scripts in history of TV. Only thing worse: The View.
Golf. Tournaments and on TV. Boooring.
I like mini golf once in a while.
I like to play mini golf with my family, but real golf is so boring to me too. Along with practically all other sports.
Agreed. While I can appreciate the years spent developing muscle memory for the game (and it is all about muscle memory) I would rather watch paint dry than watch golf.
It's not like in the movies. I want to see a golfer wrestling a gator after hitting a ball into a pond.
in my state, guns. WHY? WHY ARE THEY ALL SO F*****G OBSESSED WITH AR-15s?
why do you need a gun? your American flag tattoo already screams, "Overcompensation!" (no offence to any1 with an American flag tattoo, there's a specific guy with one who pisses me off)
I hate that some people make their entire personality guns. However, if someone has a gun only for a last resort in self defense, that is alright imo
Professional sports
I don’t necessarily HATE sports, but I feel nothing for them one way or the other.
Bothering ppl who r reading. It seems like every single little sibling or person under ten (and some over ten) loves to bother ppl who r reading. I hate it cause I'm usually the one being bothered while reading.
Avocados. They are slimy & weird. They also have no business hiding in sushi.
Litteraly soccer. I know another person said this but oh well.
basically all they do is kick a ball once in a while and wrestle on the floor.
and go ahead, downvote me, if I stand on my own so be it.
IT. IS. OVERRATED.
All social media.
Tiktok and coffee. All my friends find Tiktok amazing...but me? Do I really need to say much more? I don't see the appeal. Besides, I got Bored Panda :)
I don’t drink coffee. Last time I went to a coffee shop with a small group, I ordered a strawberry-banana smoothie. Another girl who also doesn’t drink coffee ordered the same.
I don’t like when romance overshadows the plot. I wish it could take a backseat, or maybe be nonexistent. (And not talking about movies where romance is INTENTIONALLY the plot—like rom-coms, etc.— just the movies and books where romance is completely unnecessary, you’re supposed to be running away not making out, and they were better off friends anyway.)
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! I always run away when romance is around like sooooooo awkward, but maybe that's just me.
Starbucks. Hate. It's not coffee anymore, it's hot milkshakes! And beware: they are not waiters, they are baristas (it's Leviosa, not LevioSAAA). What snobbery!
"I'll have a medium coffee."..."You mean a grande?"..."Is that a medium?"..."We have tall, grande and venti."...."...k... I guess a tall? Sounds like it's a lot."... "What kind of coffee?"..."A regular coffee. Not flavoured." ..."Ok but Americano, Macchiato, Mocha, cold brew, flat white, cappuccino, latte, caramel latte, iced coff..." ..."Whoa whoa whoa. Just a regular, no flavours coffee. What do you call that?" ... "Americano, iced coffee, flat white?" ...."... ffs Imma go to McDonalds for coffee."
This is going to sound ironic coming from a car girl, but... Muscle cars. It's either a 40-year-old man on his 3rd divorce, which is fine, or a 16-year-old who made their dad pay for the car that's driving one. And they always try to look cool, without knowing how to drive it. They pull up to a car meet, bone stock, and try to brag about how their car is so much better than everyone else's. They can see someone who trained for years drifting on a professional track, and then they try doing donuts in a 4-way intersection. They're overrated, and the younger drivers are stupid.
hmmm yeah. I find them way overrated. Give me a european car any day.
Mushrooms (not the hallucinogenic kind). I could never stomach them, they have little flavour, and the texture did not feel good when I tried eating them.
It's so bad for me that I can't even eat them when they are mixed in with other foods (my palette knows when they are there).
I also don't like many foods if the texture is off, even if it tastes okay. But I do think that many of us don't like a food because of the cooking method used. My mom is a terrible cook, and my stepdad was a hunter, which resulted in some god awful dinners growing up. I've since learned that mushrooms should not be washed, but brushed or wiped clean before cooking or they become rubbery sponges.
Soccer (Futebol). Here in Brazil is almost an attrocity that a man does'nt like it.
I don't like Frozen. Never watched Frozen 2. It's just so skinny perfect looking girls and too much drama. The only disney princess movie I can bear to watch is Brave.
If I ever have kids, I am going to introduce them to Studio Ghibli.
Disney just recycles the same characters with different themes, while upping the sexuality. Little imagination, troubling trajectory:
Skinny jeans. They are an atrocity invented in hell, to torture with uncomfortabillity the whole f***ing time. No matter your gender, size, age...these are just an abdominal piece of fashion which suits maybe five people. And jet sometimes they are all put up for sell in the stores.
Yes, yes, yes. One hundred times YES! I hate skinny jeans with the wrath of a million suns.
Oysters. Absolutely hate the texture, even if it's battered and deep fried. I may try Oyster Rockefeller again some time just to see if I still hate them.
Football and Formula 1 Racing. I think it’s idiotic watching 22 people running after a ball for 90 minutes. Same goes for racing, absolutely boring to watch
That goddamn movie "Grease".
It's got THE most annoying soundtrack of any movie. I was stuck working in a theme-restaurant where parts of the soundtrack were played in the music rotation and some servers would prance around singing along with it like it was the greatest thing to ever exist (while some of us would be trying not to puke). Oh...and as a bonus: F**K "YMCA" !!!!!!
Boomers: "You kids and your weird lyrics." Also Boomers: "A wop bop a loo bop, a wop bam boom!"
Dubai. Its where sad rich people go.
Coffee.
Maybe it's the fact that it gives me headaches and shakes, but I will not drink that foul stuff.
The only good thing about it is the smell.
Didn't drink it until boot camp... age 29. Pretty sure my Navy has specs on caffeine levels.
Wow... trying to cancel out the downvotes. It's just an opinion, so why not just scroll on to next?
.... dang it! This was supposed to be a comment not a submission. Oh well. New day, exciting new mistakes to be made.😅
Scented candles
I must be the only woman in the world who doesn't like scented candles and I tell people I don't like them but every birthday and every Christmas what do I get smelly bloody candles.
Back cracks, or knuckle cracking in general. I hate having to listen to it. I hate the excessive talk after it. I have trouble with certain sounds, which is probably why I hate the sound
The weird thing for me is that cracking sounds like that don’t bother me at all while everyone else is cringing hearing it. What bothers me is doing it myself (cracking my own knuckles), because it disgusts me/mildly scares me for no real reason other than I’m worried I will somehow break my bones.
Parties. A good time for me is a couple of friends and a decent cup of coffee. And maybe a cookie.
I went to once house party and it was so boring. I knew only one person and my now ex. The whole time I was sitting on the couch nervously while some dude kept staring at me. All anyone else was doing was talking amongst each other and drinking. I can do that in the comfort of my own home with a one friend and have a much more enjoyable time.
Campfires and / or bonfires, depending. A bunch of reasons: the smoke, the danger of forest fires, sausages falling into the fire, and the smoke and the heat always moves in my direction, one meter further away from the fire it is cold again. I can't find anything comfortable about it.
My preferred genre of music is all over the place, but you will NEVER catch me listening to pop or country.
Santa claus. i don't get why everybody makes this a special moment. with an old guy who doesn't exist. meanwhile i don't have kids, so maybe i'm missing something. but well
Lavender!
I can't stand it, makes me nauseous.
Flaming Hot Cheetos, or anything with the 'Flamin' hot powder.
Sports. Playing them, watching them, having to act interested in them. It doesn't help that I live somewhere that treats our sports teams as part of our identity.
Always just seemed like an excuse to divide people and treat others badly.
Salt on chocolate. I like both, but not together. The flavors clash unpleasantly on my tongue.
Classic rock.
Now I don't hate the music per se, I really like Bon Jovi or Queen. What makes it bitter for me are the fans who act like classic rock is the only acceptable music to listen to and they literally have murder in their eyes when I say I prefer modern / alternative rock (I'm not even saying modern rock is BETTER, only that I PREFER it).
I like Alternative Pop, only because I discovered a singer who used it and I fell in love with his music (Alec Benjamin). Otherwise, I actually like all other kinds of music except Heavy Metal
Well, I don’t wish to offend anyone. I do not wish anyone dead. The person that most people seem to like nowadays, is Harry Styles. They like his catchy music, and who knows what else. I do not hate Harry, I just strongly dislike. I interestingly suffer immensely whenever a devilishly catchy song of his is on, despite everyone else dancing. I’m not sure what it is, maybe it’s that I have a pop star already in my heart, and there’s no room for more. Maybe I dislike how the songs get stuck in my head, and unlike other songs that I enjoy in my head, these are obnoxious. I’m sorry to anyone I offended
Haha I am the same with the band Nightwish. When I was younger this band was so super popular at the bar I used to go to (it was where all metal heads and punks went) and I always just left for a few minutes when a song by Nightwish came on the speakers. Never actually listened to an entire song by them.... I just can't stand their music.
The Disney company. So money grubbing. The first unattainable product? Their movies in the theaters. Then cable. Then their parks. As a poor, young kid in the '70's, Disney seemed made for the rich. And today they are really out of reach with Covid shutting them down and then trying to get it back by tripling their prices at the parks. At least as an adult I can see some movies at matinees!
I don't even have a desire to go to Disneyland anymore. I used to beg my mom to take me all the time. She never did.
Garlic. Soft boiled eggs. Coconut. Sardines. Although I am sure that several thousands of others also hate these, I will attempt to set you off on your journey of discovery.
guac & olives sooooooooo gross
Lord of the Ring and The Hobbit trilogy
The movies are honestly not the best, especially the hobbit, but the books are my life lol.
I can't stand listening to country music. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it. It's just not my cup of tea. I also don't like the band Journey. Everyone seems to be in love with them.
I also do not like pepperoni. No thank you.
Personally I like country music. And my favorite pizza is pepperoni, I get that every time. Don’t think I’ve listened to Journey, though.
Bell Peppers. Can't stand the taste. Many a pizza slice have been ruined by a sneaky pepper.
Cooked, they are limp, bitter and squishy. RAW, they are crunchy, juicy and almost sweet.
Ranch dressing. When did this become the national dŕessing? Hate.
People sing, and then everybody thinks that it's good.
IT'S CRINGEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get it. I entered myself in a local, small karaoke contest (cos it was the usual karaoke night but the local contest was going on and priority was given to contestants, so I signed up just to have the chance to have some turns). There was a girl who also entered and she sounded ... sounded too good. Recording studio singers, we liked to call them. I think she sang something along the lines of Celine Dion or something along those lines. She was decent, like a Madonna back in the day voice. I sang something by Gwen Stefani. Now, when I sing I have this habit of trying to emulate to sound just like the original vocalist for the song. I can do, what I think is, a good Gwen Stefani impression. I got 2nd place. One of the judges told me I had an interesting voice. The other girl, he said, sounded really good but her voice was just like that of everyone else he's heard and it was sort of boring. It gave me a new perspective on vocal appreciation for uniqueness and how someone sings the words.
annoying people
Fear of fire. I don't get why everyone is so afraid of it. Fire is so cool!
Umm. Because it can kill you? And burn down homes? And injure people? Etc, etc.
My jokes and sarcasm
I HATE cringe culture/cringe comps. Yes, some things probably shouldn't have been posted online (looking at you, weird/creepy POV videos), but for the most part, cringe compilations are just a pathetic excuse to make fun of people who don't fit into the expectation of "normal" (alt style, furries, etc) who are just living their lives. Often, it's targeted at things that can't be controlled (being LGBTQ+, otherkin, etc) Life is short, do what makes you happy.
Raw tomatoes. I like ketchup, tomato soup, tomato juice, salsa... as long as the tomatoes are processed or cooked, I'm good, but my mouth just rebels at raw tomatoes!
Homegrown tomatoes are *not the same as store bought tomatoes. At all. First tomatoes of the season are my favorite part of gardening.
mushrooms (i think?)
Wild mushrooms are *so different than store bought. Morel, hen of the woods (maitake), bearded tooth, chicken of the woods are all found here in my area.
Milk. All varieties and sources - it’s the one substance for consumption I absolutely refuse. I just can’t stand it
I stopped drinking milk the moment I was old enough to push it away from me. Human beings and cats are the only mammals that seek milk after weaning.
Green peppers. Red peppers are okay, but something about green peppers makes me cringe when I smell them.
When the sun comes out after it rains. I love dark skies.
The darker the clouds the more intense the storm is. But I still love a nice sunshower.
BTS... Literally everyone in my class is Army... Give me One Direction any day... I have nothing against the Army btw
Avocado's
absolutely don't get the hype. And it's everywhere 🙄🤣
New MCU movies -anything after Infinity Wars is stale and derivative.
I'm with you on this, I tried to watch Eternals, and got bored and turned it off, and I have no interest in watching the other films that have been released since. The infinity saga was magic, now that magic has gone
I can't stand pizza, for some reason I can taste the grease and I only eat half of my slice. Maybe it's just my grandma's coooking.
Onions... They're in everything, and absolutely horrid. The taste, the texture, the smell all make me want to vomit. What other food do people eat that is so noxious that just being in it's presence makes their body go into defense mode and cause their eyes to water?
Texas 1015? Fresh Vidalia? Oh, honey we've got to broaden your horizons. Those are delicious!
Salad Dressing! All of them. When I eat salads, just give me a couple wedges of lemon and I'm good.
To me, salad is just leaves. You might as well have picked some grass and decided to eat it, or flowers or random plants or whatever. I haven’t tried it in a long time, but it disgusted me back then and I never understood why people WANTED to eat leaves. (And no, I didn’t try it with dressing or anything, and yes, I’m sure it does taste better with dressing, and no, I don’t feel like trying it now.)
American panda here. Salad and water. All my friends love it. I’ll pass though. Cheeseburger and fries with a Coca-Cola please.
Yeah, I don’t like salad. I do like water. I do like soft drinks, and Coke is one of my favorites, if not THE favorite (I also like Fanta and Sprite). Cheeseburgers are THE BEST, especially from McDonalds
Bacon, neither the taste nor the smell. And where I live, it's in so much food. People just assume everyone loves bacon.
I know everybody loves them, but eggs for me. Cannot stand their texture, smell of taste.
My dad loved cows tongue and tried to get my mom to try it. She said she would never eat something that came out of an animal's mouth. Dad told her to eat some eggs. Some people probably don't know where an egg comes from.
Coffee ☕
Coffee is one of those things I want to like, I like coffee flavoured things but I just can't force myself to like a cup of coffee - not even a mocha. Hot chocolate or a good old cup of tea for me please
The movie “The Princess Bride.” It isn’t even remotely amusing.
Milk in Cereal... I was that weird kid in school with the weird food allergies. Being Lactose Intolerant and Whey allergic, I couldn't have "normal" things like: Milk - white or chocolate? No Ice Cream. No Pizza. No "Wonder Bread". No Cheese...Nothing with milk in it. Milk made me horribly ill! The alternative? Soy Milk. Now the soy milk today are quite delicious. Not the "Old School" Soy milk 🙊😝 I can't even describe it's horrid taste! Try pouring something like... "Dirty Dish Water" + "Dirty Laundry Water" + Dirty Bath Water" = Old School Soy Milk...lmagine pouring that into your cereal? How about that as the ONLY flavour of Ice Cream? By the time I was in 1st grade, I was eating "Pure Baker's, Unsweetened Chocolate" By 3rd grade, I was eating my cereal DRY! People today still look at me funny tho and the stuff today tastes really good compared to the old school soy.
Fish
I love fish! In fact, anything that comes out of water, with the exceptions of a few.
Curries with rice. Love the smell. Taste and texture is a big no no.
Rice. I don't eat anything that looks like it would crawl down my throat before I get a chance to chew it.
Asian cuisine. Sushi, spring rolls, noodles, pho, you name it... just all of it. It all tastes weird to me. I tried to like it for years, I just can't do it. Not being able to stomach unlean meat or cilantro doesn't help it either.
Watermelon, kale, practically any Pepsi product, quinoa, cilantro, & cucumber.
I get a lot of guff for that, but too bad.
Haha, I like all of the listed foods. I'm a Pepsi max addict, love me cucumber, don't mind kale, coriander/cilantro is one of my favourites - I like most things, but I still hate milk
Peas. There should be a UN binding resolution to ban goes small green things.
Fresh out of the garden, nothing better. It's cooking them that destroys the true flavor.
I dislike the sharp and acidic taste of vinegar, although most people I know enjoy it. However, I do enjoy salt and vinegar-flavoured Pringles and I think pickles are amazing
Chocolate and mangoes...
Don't kill me in the comments
Mangoes are meh imo. I don't really eat them because I used to be allergic to them and now my parents still won't buy them. If they're the only option, I won't complain, but they wouldn't be my top pick.
chocolate, mango, coke, pepsi, baiscally soft drinks and... elevators, specifically the ones at my school.
Between Hamilton fans, Peggy. She's just a spotlight hogger. Jasmine Cephas Jones is amazing, Peggy is overrated.
Cooked cabbage. Love sauerkraut. Love coleslaw. Can't abide cooked cabbage.
Sushi, something about the texture or flavor doesn't sit right with me, its just a big pass for me
Pastries and cakes.
They taste so bad and I find them a waste of money.
Stupid humour. I can't stand things like Monty Python and barely tolerate National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation once a year.
