This is a bit of fun from Facebook:

Name ten things that you don't like, but that everyone else does...

1. Strawberries
2. Reality TV (I'm talking lowbrow shite like Love Island, not shows like Great British Bake Off and Portrait Artist of the year where there's a fair bit of skill and hard work involved)
3. Bacon that's not incinerated
4. Soaps
5. Black Liquorice
6. Prosecco
7. Pubs/Restaurants that play loud background music
8. Workout classes
9. Flashy sports cars
10. Ed Sheerin (nothing personal, he seems like a cool and very talented guy, but his music just leaves me cold)

I'd love to know yours!

The fact that you hate strawberries makes me gleeful, because more for me! I also entirely agree with your point 5 and your point 7.

Okay, now ten things I don't like, but everyone else does (and a lot of them are food-related):
(1) hot cocoa
(2) mangos (all forms)
(3) turkey
(4) super-crowded concerts
(5) Serenity, the movie
(6) plane rides
(7) sweet potatoes
(8) bodybuilder workouts
(9) men in Speedos
(10) vanilla scented items (ie, candles, perfume)

Okay, I am educated - I didn't actually realise there were multiple forms of mangoes!
And yes, Speedoes ... whilst I wouldn't turn down the opportunity of getting an eyeful of Sam and Dean in Speedoes, generally - yes, Yuk!!

There are here, anyway. Some people like them dried, or freeze-dried, or in food, or plain...and I hate them all. It's unfortunate, really.

One of the best things swimming did is make men switch to jammers, and away from Speedos. Speedos flatter no one.

Now is not the time to dislike soaps...without qualifying it. Bwhahah!

To be fair, I don't actually know many people who DO like any kind of liquorice - my granddad and dad were the only two people I can remember who actively loved it and would voluntarily buy it.

Ed Sheeran is ok, I like one or two of his songs so I wouldn't write him off all together, but I'm with you on so-called Reality TV (I mean, whose reality IS that anyway?), loud music in places where you go to talk to people, and flashy cars.
And of course, like deceptivemirror, I'm happy when people don't like strawberries because I get to eat them all instead!
I'd add as my top three
1. Alcohol
2. Big social gatherings (fangirl meet ups being the only exception!)
3. Fast foods like burgers and spicy stuff

That is a very good point!!!

Yes, you're right on the liquorice; funnily enough Barry and my Dad both like liquorice; maybe it's a man thing?

On the whole, I'm with you on the big social gatherings. My family seem to have a thing for big parties, and I try to find every excuse under the sun to try to get out of them!! :P

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with you about reality tv, liquorice and Ed Sheeran!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Yes, liquorice really is something that divides the nation, isn't it :D

[casey28.livejournal.com]

Sam agrees with you about the licorice! lol I haven't had any in ages. I think I liked it, but the thought of it now doesn't appeal to me at all.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Ugh, Sam is so right that it tastes like dirt. Nasty, nasty stuff!!

[metallidean-grl.livejournal.com]

I'd agree with you on everything except Strawberries and Soap. All the others, yep, don't like. Although I do like a nice sports car, flashy sports cars are just little men trying to make everything else think their big time.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I just realised that I probably should have elaborated on the 'soaps' comment - I did mean soaps as in TV shows ... I'd hate for you to think I was a stinker!! XD

[metallidean-grl.livejournal.com]

Oh........well that changes things. I used to love to watch TV soap operas, but stopped watching long ago. Tried to get back into them at one point, and I just couldn't do it.

[kattrip033.livejournal.com]

There are people that actually like licorice?

and definitely agree with you with Pubs/Restaurants that play loud background music. It's annoying and how are you supposed to have conversation?

Okay, I actually agree with you on most of these.
