We will be in touch
The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things. What "popular" things don't you like?
Strawberries - I really do not like them. A wee bit of strawberry taste and then you are left with a mouthful of seeds and tasteless fruit flesh.
Tennis - yawn! Thankfully Wimblebore has finished now.
Friends - that dreadful US sitcom, it makes me cringe.
Heavy metal music - it just sounds like offensive noise to me.
I have a phrase "I don't do popular" . . .
I don't always live by it though!
I like strawberries in stuff but not a fan on their own. Same goes for tomatoes, pretty much every meal I cook has some but really don't like them whole.
Watching Football. Not wanting to start a debate about it, but I really don't understand why it is so popular.
baked beans
The internet.
reality telly, some bugger must watch it i spose but it really is, for the most part awful.
Most of what's on TV!
'Pop' muzak.
Football.
I think I had better stop. 🙄

Try dipping strawberries into some decent balsamic vinegar. Totally transforms them into lovelness.

Facebook - I have people in the real world I try to avoid without acquiring cyber ones to avoid.

To list would take too long, suffice to say the majority of modern life as far as I can tell.
Biggest mystery to me is going on holiday- being somewhere with no mates far from home where I have to pay for everything.
Second biggest is the cinema, it's like TV except it costs a tenner to get in and they get stroppy about you taking your own food.
Ah yes Bruneep, but I was including christmas presents, what with it being the baby jesus birthday and all 🙂
Rugby, why would you want 30 plus stone of man on top of you or put your head between other mens buttocks.

The re-invention of the 80s as something cool
Good call on reinvention of the 80's
I get young people asking me what the 80's were like they fail to believe me when I say rubbish ...wish I could just You tube links to stock aitken and Waterman then bash them with Mallets Mallet till they see sense
Good call on reinvention of the 80's
There were a group of young'uns sat out side the pub I was at the other day, I thought they were in 80's fancy dress, but no incredibly it is the fashion, one of the lads even had a Midge Ure 'tache.
Stevie Wonder.
The work of Vincent Van Gogh.
Weddings
theres only two people at a wedding who care about it. the bride, and her mum.
People who hate popular things simply because they're popular irrespective of any merits they may or may not have. Seems to be common on here. Sad tryhards.

Where does that now place you given the increased popularity of 29ers? 😈
I don't enjoy driving any more.
I used to love it as a reckless, ****less dangerous-driving teen. But sadly I matured enough to recognise the roads were filled with reckless, ****less, dangerous-driving teens and old folk, that it cost too much, and that I was usually sat in a traffic jam in a dented Vauxhall Astra rather than driving a convertible along an empty, winding mountain pass. So I sold the car 5 years ago and just hire or steal when I have the rare need to use one.
ToTall - I don't class 29ers as popular really - only on here and STW is far from being a representative slice of the mtb riding population as a whole 😉
Besides, I never hated them...
The use of FAOD.

I don't mind the odd sly oggle, but you're right group oggling always strikes me as a bit creepy.A & A - oggling over women is just a bit sad IMHO
you have a point clubber, apart from anything thats media saturated - thats a good enough reason to hate it regardless of other facts.People who hate popular things simply because they're popular
I don't dislike football the sport but the endless piffle around it annoys me, why do you have to spend hours diessecting it, waffling about the minutiae of it, giving your opinion of how it should be done etc etc just go out and do it FFS.
says longtime STW member...... 🙄

Obesity
Poor quality meat products
Processed potatoes (okay chips and mash type stuff is good, but it's those 'smily faces', Alphabites, croquettes and all the rest of them. There's a whole aisle in the supermarket filled with this stuff)
Supermarkets (I go 'cos they're convenient, but that's only because there aren't any local shops left to go to. Viscious circle, I know)
Babies, new parents and all advertising asociated with them (my son is 9 months old so I'll exclude him, but my word, the amount of tedious small talk, advertising and oneupmanship you have to put up with)
Kylie - I find her really ugly and her voice makes me cringe.
hate coffee, not keen on strawberries either.
can't stand listening to sad football fans chatting about "their" teams (but love football)
Milk - The spawn of the devil!
ugly lazy unemployed people that do nothing more than breed and sponge off our taxes
(there are lots of them so I guess that makes them popular)
ugly lazy unemployed people that do nothing more than breed and sponge off our taxes
Are they popular then or just an excuse for a random Daily Mail style rant?
people who pretend the poor are that way through laziness
I didn't use the word poor. It is not relevant.
People are not ugly through choice
so?
I'm no oil painting and I know I can be really irritating, according to my wife
Dave Cameron - I don't particularly like him, but I'm not sure he counts as popular?
