Tapas.

I love Spain, but I just can’t with tiny dishes of meh food.

I agree with this. Tapas places are all the rage where I live, but as far is I can tell it is a scam where restaurants charge a lot of money for a small amount of mediocre food.

rice, particularly white

artichoke dip

bell peppers

John (Cougar) Mellencamp

superhero movies

Star Trek

For me, it's bombarding a person with offers. Actual example: I was individually offered six different things from the fridge in quick succession (after being told I had already ate).

Can we have it again in English.

I'd not be alone in hating you.

Girls/women with a smartphone in hand everywhere they go.

Bacon

Seriously, the sight of it grosses me out. People see delicious. I see the fat and nothing but that.

Have no problem eating sausage links or patties which have the same amount of fat, but bacon is a no way, no how for me.

The Pillsbury Dough Boy

I want to jump into the television and strangle the dang thing when he appears.

try doing it Canada, they are way ahead of us.

the bill is already split up and they just bring multiple card readers to the table

i can't the stand the eyeroll from servers in the US. I'm trying to give you money, stop complaining.

If this group of 8 had come in as couples you would be splitting it up anyway, just do your job

Why don't you just split it trough a bank-app? Like in Scandinavia we have for example "vipps", where you can log in easily and just send or request money from friends within a few seconds. So you'll go to the restaurant, one person pays and the rest just sends their part of the bill trough the app. It works trough telephone numbers, so no long bank account numbers etc.

because i don't use cell phones.

Mint. It completely and utterly disgusts me. I become viscerally angry when someone brushes their teeth in the bathroom at work because the smell permeates the air and nauseates me. I can't even kiss my significant other after he brushes his teeth, the aversion is so severe.

Summer. Humid, sweaty, shi**y, summer. Can't wait for that first cool crisp blast of fall.

Narcissistic Social media posts... mostly all of them these days. "Look at how fast I ran", "Look at me doing this cool thing" 'LOOK AT ME". Seems social media is just for self prommotion and not for sharing genuine experiences anymore.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding. Quite literally the least efficient way to paddle anything.

Fads fueled by narcissistic social media posts: "LOOK AT ME doing yoga on a SUP. #neature" "Look at me doing this stupid dance"

I hate any sort of holiday celebration in the workplace. I don't want to celebrate anyone's birthday, especially my own. I don't want to dress up for Halloween. I don't want to do a pitch-in for Thanksgiving. I don't want to do "Secret Santa" or any other gift exchange at Christmas.

Maybe I'll change my tune if they ever let me drink all day from a keg of Guinness at my desk on St. Patrick's Day, but until then....

Ah, the office grouch who only wants to do things he likes. While most everyone else enjoys the holiday celebrations, he is miserable. Yeah, the problem is with them...

Sushi.

Impropper grammar.

Nobody likes improper grammar. They just don’t know any better. Also, learn to spell.

Illegal aliens.

Yeh, that always happens with a certain set of friends of my wife.

They will pull out a calculator to total their portion to the nearest penny. They then chip in that amount, but forget about tax and tip. So, either they screw over their friends, the waiter/waitress or both. I think there have been several times where we have just picked up the whole bill so as to not have to deal with the drama and BS.

If by doing "things he likes" you mean...um...work, then I guess the shoe fits. But it is WORK, after all, and I don't understand why I should be subjected to these non-work-related diversions and celebrate anything with people who are not my friends outside the workplace. It doesn't make me a reprehensible person simply because I want to separate my professional and social lives. And I'm not suggesting there's a problem with anyone who feels differently. More power to 'em, but there's no reason why they can't have their celebrations outside the work place.

Whatever, it's just not for me, and I was responding to the thread topic.
