Am I the only person who finds certain items and brands they dislike without any real reason?
Just asking as I've just seen a post asking about what brand of balance bike to get and one of the names mentioned just makes my blood boil for no particular reason!
Is this just me or does anyone else do this?
Trek
Trek also
Signalbox operators 🙂
I don't dislike, but I always find Giants very boring.
I'm sure they're great bikes but they just don't do anything for me.
drop bars
Never been a fan of Giant either but the new Reign looks pretty cool
A few brands I dislike but there's always some basic reason, sometimes something tiny but always something
Chewing gum
Amstrad?
Schwalbe.
Everything.
Trek. Even more so post boost. I also dislike boost, but I dislike trek more. I doubt that bothers them.
I really dislike coffee machines, which is odd because I like coffee.
I use a grinder and a cafetiere, the thought of having a machine just makes me angry for some reason.

^^^This...it may originate from trying one out years ago and as soon as I sat on it I hated it instantly, dont know why tbh :/
Other people.....
Jones and Surly rile me up. Salsa are getting that way too, a lot of it seems odd for the sake of it.
Giants
Power box Signallers
Main Dealer staff.
Superstar
McDonalds.
I like burgers, I like chips (ok french friggin fries)
But just the name 'McDonalds' makes me want to nuke them from orbit.
SRAM
Audi
Electonic Arts
Apple
Usually the expensive brand stuff that never really lives up to the premium price and are at best as unreliable as everything else.
Race Face. Bought an RF jacket years ago and it was rubbish. I shouldn't let that cloud my judgement about their bike components. But it does.
What's with all the Trek hating? They make and have made some great bikes!
Ming
Would you work in a manual signalbox by any chance?

Not hate from me, just 'meh' (and I own 2!)
Oh and there's all that Armstrong/lemond business...
Diane Abbot
Ming's flat rides
Not necessarily in that order.
Love my Trek, BTW, along with Ming's
My work phone ringing, especially when I'm on standby.

Yet I've got one I bought in Canada in 2000 & It's as good as my Buffalo, still use it regularly & find it very good! Much better than a Mc****tingdonalds Unhappy meal. 😈

That doesn't count as there's an obvious rational reason for why you'd dislike that!
football, but with such a intense dislike, that it scares me.
Comic Sans and its users
That doesn't count either... see above 😉
I've just re-read the OP. I have real reasons for disliking all my suggestions, so please ignore my previous post.
Edit:mattyfez beat me to it.
Fat people.
People in sport's wear that are not doing sport or just watching sport.
Cars
I like burgers, I like chips
That's why you don't like McDonalds.
German cars and their drivers,
Waitrose shoppers,
Boring Giant Bikes,

Strictly Cum Prancing.
Floppy, front filled only, poor ingredient filled sandwiches that disintegrate upon opening the over marketed slogan hash packaging.
M&S.
Noisy builders.
People, whilst engaged in conversation, who Do Not Listen to a word the other person is saying. Who completely scythe any intelligent chit chat into teeny death pieces scattered across the floor.
Jam Jars that take 6.3tonnes of twisting pressure to free the lid.
The current trend onBBC4 documentaries, of following/filming some flossy whilst they wistfully gaze into the distance whilst meandering along the bloody landscape/area that the sodding programme is on about.
Shower gel,that stinks of disinfectant.
Nothing. Get over yourselves guys and gals.

That's why you don't like McDonalds.
That actually makes sense. However the main reason is that I despise people who chuck litter out of their cars, Know what I mean? They seem to attract that kind of people. Every time I see a McD advert on the telly I want to smash the screen. (Obviously I don't, else I wouldn't have a telly)
German cars and their drivers
