Things you love but everyone hates!

[mcfeez]

Pale skin (not fake tanned or suntanned)
Very strong coffee
Korma - even though I'm obsessed with spicy food
Ready salted crisps (I know these aren't hated but they are my favourites, which seems to be a weirder opinion)
Asparagus
Really overcast days when you're on hot, sunny holidays
Similarly, heavy rain and a good thunderstorm on a hot holiday
Men wearing quite feminine smelling cologne/aftershave
Scones with just butter on them, no jam or cream or anything

Eating out alone.

This is so underrated. I wouldn't want to do it all the time but its so nice when I'm travelling for work - getting complete choice of where I want to eat!

I was so excited one day about going for sushi that night when one of the girls from the office I was visiting, and who I knew was a massively fussy eater, insisted she join me. I was gutted haha.

Mushrooms
Orange (my favourite colour)
Rainy days

Dominic Raab

Imagine Turkish Delight and Dominic Raab together

I am another 'eating alone' fan. Nobody watching you eat, or commenting on your food 'that looks good, wish I'd ordered that now' or all the pass the salt/pepper/vinegar shenanigans.

Yes avoiding all that is a dream. Sometimes eating with others, especially one other, can feel very intense. When do I chew, when do I speak or reply to a question. Spaghetti, pho or noodles of any kind can be hell if you’re not entirely comfortable sitting across from your companion on a tiny wobbly table. Possibly straining to hear above other chat and music.

for anyone worried about how it looks eating alone, feeling judged or pitied, I once felt the same. That is until I started waitressing and would have the occasional solo customer. Observing them from that perspective I never thought they looked sad or weird (it would happen regularly enough) , nor did anyone else really care. I realised it looked like bliss. A treat not an everyday occurrence for sure, but total me-time, treat ya self, glass of wine and a book, bliss.

Amen

How do you manage with eating? Sounds ridiculous but I'd love to go away on my own but my fear would be sitting and eating alone

I love going out for dinner on my own. Before I was with my husband I would do it all the time! Take a book with me sometimes.

I love it too and travel alone for work a lot. For me I take a book/ stay on my phone in restaurants. Some countries are perfect for solo travellers too- for me Germany is an introvert’s paradise and even places like Bali has loads of solo females.

Things I love- old school comedy that’s seen as cringeworthy- Are You Being Served, Carry On films and On The Buses
Healthy food that some people dismiss as rabbit food.
Cheesy music- I hate popular chart stuff and prefer the type of stuff you’d hear on holiday or at a dodgy Xmas party like Come On Eileen, Sweet Caroline, Boney M etc. Both my music and TV tastes aren’t my generation neither!

Lockdown - I’ve realised (apart from travel ) I’m happy never going to the office again, doing wfh, not really socialising, really doesn’t bother me at all, in fact the opposite

 

[Platypusfattypus]

2m away from my face, the dream!

I hope it stays forever

 

[flamingo29]

Having mint sauce on EVERY meat that I have on a gravy dinner, a lot of people look horrified if I have it on any other meat than lamb

 

[HowlOwl]

I dunno if people hate this but I love broccoli, maybe bordering on obsessed

I like spinach, too. I’m convinced that if I eat dark green vegetables, I’m going to live forever!

 

[DoctorWho]

Buying a tv guide every week (nobody understands this!)
Mushrooms
Staying at home / staying in
Buy also eating out/going for coffee alone
the quietness of libraries
Coronation Street

love these!

also -
Emmerdale
Mushrooms
Pineapple on pizza
Westlife
Healthy food

Ordinary instant coffee, eg Nescafé, or if I’m feeling fancy, Kenco. Nothing brewed, percolated or lattes from Starbucks.

You’ve definitely got the requirements stated in the thread title more than most with that one .. ie “everyone hates”
Fair play though, politics aside, Rishi Sunak is a decent guy. The partner of a friend of a mine knows him and they’ve had him over for dinner. She’s pure north London labour for life but has nothing but kind words to say about him.
Plus when I learnt about his Star Wars obsession I couldn’t help but warm to him. I love a geek.

Hanging out washing to dry makes me so happy. Love a full washing line blowing about in the wind.

That is my absolute fave. I love drying weather. I wash EVERYTHING . And nothing beats the smell of air dried clothes and bedding Some of my friends don't even own washing lines, they just put it straight in the tumble dryer

Peace and quiet. People are just (to quote Back to the Future) too darn loud for me these days. Like, everyone. When did people need to yell/scream/shriek constantly and just make loads of noise all the time? I don't expect or want people to live like monks but there are days when the general noise levels of local society leave me scratching my head.

Totally agree, especially screaming, I was always taught as a young child to only scream in an emergency so it retained a level of significance. Clearly no one thinks this now, even now when I hear screaming it puts me on edge as I assume someone terrible is happening, only to look outside and see people just messing around

Winter
David Walliams

He’s just been outed as a weirdo on twitter

Taylor Swift
Cats
Colours in a house (revolutionary I know when you look at insta homes!)
Winter, find it much easier to dress and I don’t really get too cold at night whereas in summer I’m constantly too hot trying to sleep.
Jeremy Corbyn
hot sunny holidays when you relax all day (air conditioned rooms only though )
Smoking... I don’t smoke because obviously it’s bad for you, but I enjoy a cig when I’m drunk (rare I’ve not had one in well over a year), and I love the smell

I've already stated I love eating alone.

But as a youngster I did think people who did were rather lonely or strange but as I got older I see it as total self indulgence and just perfect!

Going for a meal on a first date is the stuff of nightmares. Sitting directly opposite, being too self aware the entire time if you have parsely stuck in your teeth or food on the corners of your lips. I hated going on such dates.

Another cheap chocolate fan here too. I don't like Thorntons at all and would happily choose a pack of snide rip off mini Bounty than a box of Thorntons chocolate. Its vile. My brother always gets me tons of it every christmas, I often wonder what on earth made him thinks I love it so much

For me, going for a meal on a first date is awful or even worse, the cinema .

Cold food. As in: leftovers straight from the fridge.
And: pasta, nothing else, no sauce, just plain pasta.

Flared jeans! Got a few pairs from topshop this week.

I love flared jeans. Jane Birkin in flared jeans in the 70s is my style icon.

 

[Mustard]

Gurkins. Everyone always gives me the gurkins off their burger!

These are really good.
