What's that one thing "everybody" loves that you hate?

Jimmy Seddon

Happy Friday Everyone!

I’ve like to thank @meghna_singh for the inspiration for this week’s Friday Fun post. I’m sure there is some commonly accepted Foods or Beverages that everyone enjoys.

However, I’m sure like me there is at least one thing that you just can’t stand, and everyone loses their marbles about it.

For me that is melons, yes including watermelon.

I hate the taste, the texture and the overall experience.

So, what sort of quirky things do you hate, and it doesn’t have to be food related. Maybe you hate the energizer bunny (I’ve got my eye on him too 😉)

Have a great weekend everyone!

I love cheese, but I hate cheese on burgers or sandwiches. I don't understand cheeseburgers at all.

I also pick cheese off of pizza, although I like the flavor left behind by the cheese.

I have never met anyone else who feels this way but I trust the community will not let me down.

Matt Doar_tzgiej

Microwaved popcorn smells like vomit (yes, it does), so I'm not keen on that so much.

Danny_qtq7b3

I hate chocolate.

Matt Doar_tzgiej

See how I resisted adding any images there?

Jimmy Seddon

@Monique vdB I my disagree with you, but I respect your food choices!

Jimmy Seddon

@Matt Doar 100% agree with you. I have both an air popper and an oil-based popcorn machine (yes I take popcorn seriously )

Jack Brickey

that's just wrong. :-)

Jack Brickey

it is hard for me to find any food I dislike much less ones that many do like. Two things I hate:

Mayonnaise on any form of sandwich, burger etc. Now I don't mind mayo combined in things.

Raisins in oatmeal (or any) cookies. I like them by themselves or in trail mix not in my cookies!!

Jimmy Seddon

I feel like the raisins in oatmeal cookies debate is about as heated as the pineapple on pizza one

Angélica Luz

Peas are the worst, peas are the worst, I hate looking at peas, I wanna smash it.

Matt Doar_tzgiej

Is it the taste or the feel or something else about it? Pretty rare that one!

Matt Doar_tzgiej

Mmm, I love mushy peas me

Samie Delebo - Your Gal at Gliffy

This made me laugh out loud hahaha

Danny_qtq7b3

I know it is wrong. I just never liked it. Instead, it is really sour sweets. Love them so much 😊

Danny_qtq7b3

Noooo, not mushy peas

Monique vdB

@Jimmy Seddon pineapple and pepperoni pizza (with cheese peeled off) is my favorite!

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Sports

Ahmad Pouei

that made me laugh, hahahaaaah ))

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I should qualify that a bit.

It's more "watching sports". When you don't actively play them (or at least used to or would love to if you weren't unable for some reason), what the hell is the point of watching other people play a game you don't? Rather than spend hours watching someone do something that might be fun, why don't you just go do it yourself?

Tamanna Godara

@Monique vdB Cheese is why I would eat the stuff you mentioned

Tamanna Godara

I don't like mushrooms.

Jodi LeBlanc

I don't like beer. It was the first thing I ever drank in my life and I have not been able to stomach it since. I really wish I liked it though, but gave up trying it over the years

Jack Brickey

Jodi, you WIN because... damn!

Jodi LeBlanc

I know right?! So awful!

Jimmy Seddon

"It was the first thing I ever drank in my life" - @Jodi LeBlanc does someone need to have a chat with your parents? I'm kidding, and I totally get it. I'm not much of one for beer either.

Jimmy Seddon

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- as a general rule I agree with you. Which is why I don't watch many sports. However, I enjoy watching things that I would never cream of competing in myself such as Ice Cross Downhill.

Helen Griffiths {Capgemini}

Boomerangs. Not the beautifully designed traditional Aboriginal hunting weapons - the Instagram video 'blips' that EVERYONE seems to share these days. I posted one once, hated it.

Food wise...vegetables. Give me salad or fruit, and i'm fine. Veggies, as in by themselves on a Sunday Roast? No thank you. My adult-self realises the need for veggies though, so I do cook with them, as long as they're 'with' something - like in a casserole.

Shannon S

@Monique vdB I used to pick the cheese off the top of my pizza as a kid, eat it, and then the pizza separately. I stopped that habit after a few years, but it was my favorite thing to do. 😂

Esther Strom

I'm with you. Slimy, nasty things.

Esther Strom

Mine is ice cream. In the summer, I'll go with a sorbet or granita; the dairy in ice cream is too heavy in hot weather. And in the winter, who wants to eat something cold anyway?

I do admit that I'm a sucker for a really good gelato, but that's hard to find around here and even then I have to be feeling it.

Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_

+ 1 for any kind of melons.

I don't like going out in the evening This is why I'm always scheduling dinners for 5 or 6 PM.

And I hate seafood. I just can't stand being near it, and I don't understand how the most expensive gourmet food always has "something fishy". Blah

Kristin Lyons

I'm exactly the same. Not a fan of any type of melon.

Dharma Ramos

Agreed, I don't like raisins in cookies or other stuff, but don't mind them on their own.

Dharma Ramos

Agree with everyone that said no melons, my husband and daughter can eat a whole watermelon by themselves over one or two nights. I don't care for it. They also both like seafood and I can't stand the smell of it.

Davin Studer

Cake and pie! Can't stand em.

Miguel Jesus _Team Files_

Cilantro!

I love parsley and cilantro is not used that much were I grew up, so I never really learned about it until I started travelling on my own.

the first time I tasted coriander I was so disgusted... I thought "this parsley is bad" (like rotten). Then I discovered it's a different plant altogether and it tastes a bit like soap to me.

Helen Griffiths {Capgemini}

I tried making a 'crying tiger beef' dish the other week, and the relish included things like fish sauce (🤢), Worcester sauce (YUM!), spring onion...and coriander. It was absolutely vile.

I tried to put on a brave face after convincing my boyfriend it was nice (I didn't think it was too bad in the beginning) but I had to give up after a few mouthfuls. It was definitely the coriander that made it taste so bad.

Jimmy Seddon

@Miguel Jesus _Team Files_ studies have shown that is a genetic thing. You either love it or it tastes like soap.

Matt Doar_tzgiej

I like pork scratchings but most people in the California don't seem to like them. Maybe a cultural heritage thing.

JiraJared

When people use the word "yous" ...

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I like coriander, but only in very small amounts, and preferably cooked. Raw bunches of the stuff - yep, soap. Stirred into a dish and simmered (a pinch if fresh leaves, or a good pile of dried and ground) as part of a range of spices - yum.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Text speak in places where you have the space to write properly.

Tamanna Godara

Like, thank yous.....so much

Davin Studer

As in a plural you? I firmly believe that y'all should be officially added as the second person plural form for English. The fact that you is both singular and plural causes too much ambiguity. I minored in Biblical Greek in college and experienced first hand that when translating from Greek (really any language) to English often times knowing which "you" was in the original language makes a world of difference.

Davin Studer

Amen to that!

Matt Doar_tzgiej

The distinction never really went away in the Yorkshire dialect. Thou, pronounced "tha" and "thee" are still heard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou#Current_usage

Esther Strom

Oh, yes. One of my pet peeves. Like it's really that difficult to type "you" instead of "u"?

Poorvi Jhawar

@Jimmy Seddon

fantastic topic! When it was my turn to start the thread for Friday fun, I was struggling between this and 'tell me your quirks' :P

I know I am late to the party, but I have to participate

I HATE mushrooms and tofu. I just can't deal.

I also don't like anything like gummy bears, marshmallows, and jelly.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

It's OK, the cake is a lie.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

One particular hatred is "ur"

This is the one I hold up as an example of why text speak should be excised. "ur" comes out phonetically as "you are", and that is failing a lot of people. Allow me to put it this way:

Grammar: The difference between knowing ur shit and knowing ur shit.
Grammar: The difference between knowing your shit and knowing you are shit.

When you use ur in text speak, I have to assume the second meaning.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Mornington Crescent.

I win!

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

What about popcorn shrimp though? Is that ok?

(If you do follow the link, two points - that guy taught me to cook, which is why we never have people around for dinner, and turn the sub-titles on, they add a lot!)

meghna_singh

Haha This is such a fun topic @Jimmy Seddon thank you for the mention.

Here goes my weird list:

1. Cheese - I absolutely despise it, the smell, texture, color, flavor - in any form.

2. Stuffed Toys (Teddy Bears)- All I know is that if I have one in my room, it is going to turn its head towards me every time I sleep. (Chucky feels)

3. Sharing Food - I cannot share my share of food.
Please take another plate and get your own.

4. I hate the energizer bunny too

Monique vdB

@meghna_singh my daughter's two favorite things in the world are her stuffed animals and cheese. She might be your opposite twin.

meghna_singh

@Monique vdB Awww!

I tried to fit in the world for a long time but now I have made peace with it. hehe

Much love and hello to my little twin from the other side

Payne

No scallops for me. Or most other seafood, honestly.

Khadiga AL-Gunaid

I love isolation and staying at home and hate going out and socializing 😅

Esther Strom

Me too! Although since the world is telling me I can't go out and socialize, I suddenly really miss it.

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

Me too

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

I like to visit the underground museums and in country side as well
