I'm sure we all dislike something that is enjoyed by the overwhelming majority of other people. What is that thing for you?

I hate beer with a passion. I've tried so many different kinds but think they all taste the same and they all taste like piss. Every single time a friend of mine gets a beer, I go out of my way to try it and see if I can find any kind of enjoyment in it but always regret my choice. I can't wrap my mind around the thought of someone actually enjoying the taste of beer; I think a lot of people convince themselves that they like it because it is the social drink of choice most of the time.

What are some things that you guys will never understand why other people love it?

Well to be fair, the shoes in your picture are the Nike Roshe Runs, and those aren't actually meant for running. They look like they are, but they aren't. However, that doesn't seem to stop people from running in them. But my point is, those aren't running shoes :P But I get what you mean tho. It's just the picture that threw me off.

Harry Potter. My elementary school teacher would dedicate an hour and a half every Friday to read those damn books we had no choice but to listen. That time could have been better spent on things like getting a head start on homework, asking for extra help for problem subjects if needed or even letting us pick our own books to read. But no instead we were held like prisoners of Azkaban forced to listen to every word of that shiet series!

Yeah, I used to have Roshe Runs but I used them for training exclusively, I just don't understand why people go with such shoes while there are some much better looking and more comfortable shoes for everyday wear, especially some sneakers.
It's like when I see people on the streets wearing cleats/football shoes, I find it weird and out of place.

Because they are more comfortable than leather shoes and for the certain moments when you need to rush. Plus they survive better in the rain.

As for not sneakers, point 2 still stands.

Same. Almost everyone here wears them ._. I especially dislike the ones in the second picture.

+ yoga pants (can't understand girls who wear them everyday, it looks slutty and disgusting)

Also, One Punch Man and One Piece.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people like rain.. What's there to like about rain? Who likes getting their clothes wet? How is the sound of rain soothing? Driving in the rain isn't so fun as well.. If anything, rain just hinders (if not ruins) your plans..

I can very much relate to this. I get romanticizing rain to an extent, especially if you live where it doesn't rain much, but I live in the Pacific Northwest, and it rains here quite often. Rain gets old pretty fast, and pretty much only becomes a nuisance if anything. I mean you get used to it but still, I'm never excited about rain.

Superheroes. Whenever a new superhero movie is coming out, people go completely wild for it. I have tried to watch quite a few of the well-liked superhero movies, the Batman movies, Iron Man, the X-Men movies, etc, and in most cases I was bored to tears.

I also can't understand why anyone would enjoy the sensation of being intoxicated.
It feels terrible. I also think that alcohol tastes pretty nasty, except for wine.

crashinho the same goes for me. It's just too bitter, it doesn't even taste good for me. But not just beer but any kind of alcohol even if it's sweet and can be tasty, alcohol is a no-go.

The taste of nutella+peanutbutter and the saltiness and texture of the cheese obviously.

But why those combinations, truffles are superior to cheese and the mild saltiness isn't really that great of an addition.

I didn't really get why Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey is so freaking popular.

And also, slapstick humor in cartoon movies. Watching other character been hit or get hurt is not funny for me, but horrific instead.

That's interesting I also always drink alcohol at social events and while getting drunk can be pretty fun, the taste of beer sucks to me as well. I've definitely gotten used to it but I also feel a lot of people drink it as social currency. There definitely are some people that genuinely love the taste though.

Might be a big shocker but for me it's pokemon. One of the reasons I never quite
got into it as a kid was the monsters were kind of lame looking. Don't have a problem with it I just find it massively less memorable than dbz or yugioh for example.

I can so relate. Some people that think rain is amazing, has barely seen much rain at all. Maybe there are exceptions though. It just ruins your day. When heavy rain comes, which is common in the monsoon, the roads will get blocked, and going to school will be the biggest pain. Sometimes school will get closed....even right before exams. And the mini floods sometimes. Stuff like this happens most of the time.

I mean obviously that's the idea, but I don't understand WHY it sounds better to some people. It's faster and higher pitch, so all it does is distort the quality of the original recording and make it sound super unnatural, especially if the song already had some unnatural instrumentation to begin with.

well imo this song is better nightcored. The original just sounds too slow to me, though I did here it + allot of other songs nightcored first.

It's because he will do something to stop illegal immigrants from coming into the states, and he will ban all those muslims for now, to prevent terror attacks.

I mean he will save many american lives if he gets elected. Just look at Europe. What I don't understand is why people hate him and call him a racist.

yeah while i agree that" roshe one" (Thats their recent retconned name as they were never intended to be designed as running shoes and it wouldnt make sense for them to have connotations to running in the name of the sneaker) are disgusting as hell. It doesnt help that everyone and their mother wear that cheap POS shoe, especially highschool kids, man thats cancerous.

air maxes, especially the one u posted in that pic are disgusting too. The only decent air max 90 shoe in my opinion are the ones in the infrared colorway, only because theyre iconic as hell and i doubt any of the swag fag streetwear kids these days lived through that era...

I dont mind people rocking "running shoes" as everyday kicks though, look how popular the adidas ultraboost is. Colorways are always selling out and I doubt most people rocking them arent rocking them to run in, thats for sure.

Nmds are also pretty dope.

Reading books. I've enjoyed a few, but can't get into most of them. I prefer movies, mostly.

Also, going out. There's nothing for me to do out there. I quickly get bored or depressed and go home.

+1 I feel no need to go out and waste my gas to stand around for 5 hours doing nothing. Thankfully, my friends on and off agree.

I don't understand people who happily spend 80 dollars or so on one small thing of branded makeup. I have two friends, both of which buy at least 90+ dollars of makeup every other month from people like Jeffree Star and stuff and they never use it. And then they complain that they have no money when all of their money is sitting next to the sink, probably not even opened. It annoys the hell outta me.

I'll never understand women who love shopping and spend forever doing it. I'm impatient when it comes to shopping and standing too long hurts my back.

I'll never understand why a lot of people like guys with those ugly snapbacks. That's definitely not my thing at all.

I'll never understand why people love sports and watching people play sports. Does watching other people play sports and receive money from doing so give you happiness? I don't know. "Competition's fun to watch!"... not really.

I'll never understand people who like taking selfies and pictures. You'll never find a picture of my face online, I'll tell you that much.

I've never understood why people like PewDiePie and other such YouTubers. I've seen a couple videos and they aren't funny or to my liking.

I'll never understand those who wear makeup.

- Babymetal. They just seem shallow and vacuous to me. Not to mention they're annoying af.
- The Walking Dead. I dropped it halfway through the first season as it felt like a generic Romero imitation. I'll give it another shot tho.
- Nationalism. I see no reason to take pride in lines drawn on a map.
- The Matrix. Not a bad movie at all, but it's simply unengaging and the philosophy felt too heavy handed. Been years since I've seen it though.
- How to Train Your Dragon (film). This has a lot to do with the fact that I grew up with the book, which was an offbeat, cynical parody of fantasy stories whereas the film featured too many tropes and lacked wit.

Because it's a glorified bedtime tale, nothing more. Bad looking people are bad, good looking people are good, intelligent/thoughtful people are always evil, innocent looking people are innocent, Dumbledore is a nepotist and so on. It's nothing more than a fool's fantasy. There are other fantasies that are much better and convey much more important messages. Lord of the Rings is one of them.

Just ask yourself: What did I learn from Harry Potter?

If you learnt 'something' from Harry Potter then you haven't learnt enough in your life.
