Activities everyone seems to enjoy... but you

[russrob81]

On the strip clubs I haven't been to one in 10+ years. When I say I don't go and don't have any desire to people say. I need to loosen the chain from the wife some. And I say no they're a waste of time and money. And they think I'm lying

I look at it as forgetting your wallet having no money and looking at a collection of Craft beers

98% of the people in this world that I encounter, and that's probably being generous. And I'm a nice guy, I swear!

You really believe it's that low. With what 3.3 billion people you will what to be with a full 2%, you sir are a better man than I.

 

[Kaedos]

That looks more like a rave to me. That girl looks like she's high on ecstasy. No hockey game has ever been that enthralling.

Looks to me like she's not nearly happy enough to be on ecstasy. Someone said here, have some acid at the rave, the lights will make it awesome! > Bad trip guaranteed to ensue <

Yeah that's still what 66 million people I claim I might like? I was way off. I guess it's more like 100% minus .0000000000000000000000000001%.

 

[Zuljin]

Just what kind of skittling are these teenagers doing? It appears to have numerous meanings. I don't think I'd enjoy any of them.

 

[CGVT]

Camping? WTF?

I'm not talking about taking a backpack and heading off into the wilderness to commune with nature.

Family camping. Going somewhere with a big-ass tent (or a camper or RV for that matter) and working your ass off to be inconvenienced. Most the time people go off to some ****ty campground and have to put up with camping neighbors. Again WTF?

Where is the joy in that

 

[vineyardbmw]

Craftbrew fests that turn into fratboy binge drinking parties. I love the beer, but as soon as I see a couple of wasted, birkenstock wearing, plastic neon sunglasses sporting, d-bags...I stop what I'm doing (finish the beer in my hand) and go home.

A effin men. I paid big bucks to go to GABF and enjoy, sample, and ask questions. But it ended up being a bunch of frat boys screaming, puking, spilling on me and my cousin, and being all around rude. I was sooo po'd.

 

[Zuljin]

My beer fest experience has been different. Oh sure, pay a lot of money, sometimes, but no fools. People were cool.

 

[russrob81]

On a little 180 on this thread. "Girl sports" are no fun for anyone BUT. Watching the college softball championships is pretty exciting. College chicks +. Super "girl sports" celebrations. College chicks. Cheering your teammate who struck out. Great stuff. Kick back have a home brew and enjoy

 

[huhwha]

Rap. Seriously. It's like a combination of disco and opera. Two of the most horrible things in the world.

 

[Hoppity]

Being fashionable, especially some of the things the millenials are into:
Beltline below buttline, facial piercings, ear guages, and tattoos that are visible while fully dressed (especially face and neck).

Wearing a baseball cap in any place but facing front, unless you are playing catcher. Wearing a cap so large it covers the tops of your ears. Leaving authenticity stickers and tags on caps.

As a die hard ball cap bill trained with a baseball wearing it the correct way individual. I can't agree more

You guys aren't gonna have anything to bitch about this Festivus for the "Airing of Grievances."

First part, not really my thing but I have no problem with it.

The baseball cap thing, yeah, I agree. Nobody beyond the age of 10 should be wearing it like that. Violators should be beaten repeatedly with a large stick.

Rap. Seriously. It's like a combination of disco and opera. Two of the most horrible things in the world.

Eh. I loathe modern commercial rap. But some of the old school stuff and more intelligent modern stuff is really, really good.

yeah, I hear ya. those guys are just dumb as a stump.

Well, while I would never call someone with visible and or copious amounts of tattoos dumb(well maybe, behind their back and not within earshot ), I never have seen the appeal of tattoos. I don't see the need to have artwork, quotes, Chinese letters, etc. on my body. But it's everybody's choice what they do and don't do with their body. So all those that enjoy tattoos, have at it. But I won't be joining you.

I have done as your sig suggested. so when are we gonna get matching leprechaun tattoos?

My wife has three tattoos, and will occasionally give me crap like, "oh, you're too afraid of needles to get one." No, I don't care about the needles (I regularly give blood, so obviously I don't fear that), I just can't think of a single thing I'd put on my body without looking back in 25 years and wondering, "what the hell was I thinking?!"

Bwahahahaha!
When leprechauns fly out of my butt.

 

[weirdboy]

I REALLY don't get the Chinese tattoo thing. Having studied Japanese and Chinese for a number of years, I can generally read all of those tattoos so it's not like some mystic language to me. It's just like printing "BRAVERY" or whatever in big ****ing letters on your skin IMO. I don't understand the point.

this right here is why people shouldn't get tattoos on impulse. I know exactly why I got every single tattoo. I understand they will fade & stretch. they all have meaning and that will not fade from my mind.

what's funny is that I am afraid of needles. hahahaha!!!

 

[SouthernGorilla]

Things people love that I despise:

Social media- I don't care enough about anybody's daily life to need continuous updates on how they're feeling or what they're doing.

Team sports- I admire and respect individual excellence in just about every category. But team sports stifle individual excellence.

Pseudo sports- Figure skating, gymnastics, diving, any competition that uses judges to decide the "winner". The only legitimate way to decide a competition is by who crossed the line first.

Wine- What do people see in this swill?

Pop culture- All of it. I don't care about celebrities of any variety. I do watch movies and TV a bit. I occasionally listen to music. I just don't care about the people who make the stuff.

News- I'll do my own thinking, thank you very much. And I have plenty of my own problems to deal with. I don't need to hear about other people's troubles.

Organized religion- Like others have said, religion is personal. I have mine, you have yours. Let's leave it at that.

Politics- I'll live my life, you live yours. What's so complicated about that idea?


Things people hate that I love:

Being barefoot- I don't mean at the beach or on a freshly mowed lawn. I mean all day every day. If I had my way I wouldn't even own a pair of shoes.

Isolation- I would survive quite happily on a deserted island on my own.

Books- I doubt anybody hates books. But my dream house has a large library in it.

Thinking- It's a lost art. Humans are little more than verbose chimps these days.

Masculinity- A lack of ovaries is not a birth defect. I revel in my beard, my body hair, and the results of my hours in the gym.

 

[hillybilly]

watching golf has to be the most boring sport in the world to watcj

 

[Jacob_Marley]

Team sports. With basketball being the worst ... having to watch it for too long causes a version of An American Werewolf in London where I change species by the light of a full moon ... Bad Moon Rising playing in the background. Very ugly.

Televisions in bars. If I want to watch TV I&#8217;ll watch it in my living room.
The only thing that&#8217;s worse than televisions in bars; is televisions in bars with big-mouthed swill-soaked tough-guys yelling and cursing profusely at that television because there&#8217;s a sports game on. Back in the days when I hung around bars, it was a matter of just go call the police right now because after I start telling people to STFU, I&#8217;m going to get in their faces and make them un-ball their fists and say &#8220;yes sir&#8221; and smile nicely at me and some who wont are going out through the window.
Ok, I've learned to relax since those days ... but I still have no use for televisions in bars.

I don&#8217;t like Jim Morrison and the Doors and I don&#8217;t like Jack Daniels ... I know, makes me un-American.
Ok, so I do like the one song the Doors do &#8220;The End&#8221; and while I don&#8217;t drink Jack black I do like Jim green.

Reality TV. I think Reality TV is actually worse than watching the Jerry Springer show (which I hate).
But at least with Jerry Springer I can find humor in reminding myself that he started out as a politician and progressed to hosting The Jerry Springer Show.
And in a similar vein ... schadenfreude. I don&#8217;t take pleasure in seeing other people put in the position of being miserable and making fools of themselves on television or in real life.

Like Creamy says ... exotic dancers.
I don&#8217;t need that kind of stimulation ... I already have too much inappropriate enthusiasm on my own. Maybe in another 10 years my testosterone will drop to half and I&#8217;ll be able to comfortably watch go-go girls without feeling the painfully overwhelming need to mate with all of them like some turgid buck in the rut.
Now, on the other hand I wouldn&#8217;t mind *owning* a ***** bar ... and while I&#8217;m at it, running a numbers and sports betting operation out of the back ... but that&#8217;s a whole other ballgame.

Facebook.
I don&#8217;t get it. WTF possesses people? Facebook is like an exhibitionism fetish without the money shot. What&#8217;s the point?

Texting.
Texting to communicate? Really??
It&#8217;s like choosing to use chopsticks to eat soup.
Why?

There&#8217;s lots of additional stuff that I could rant about, but this thread was about things that others like that I don&#8217;t ... so I&#8217;ll just leave it at that.

Great thread Creamy. Very cathartic. I actually feel better than if I had dropped $175 at the shrink. My spleen thanks you.

I just want to know if you have ever read someones tattoo and said "why the hell did you get pheasent tattoo on you" only to be told "no no, it means Pleasant" (You get what I'm meaning right?)

 

[paulster2626]

we have a lot of fanatics here that say "we" when referring to the teams. they don't seem to understand they they are not part of the team in any way.

Used to annoy me too, but then I realized it's just people having fun, so I got over it. They don't think they're part of the team.

Although.... what would a team be without actual fans? They don't last very long if nobody is showing up to the games, or watching them on TV. The fans are arguably the most important part of any sports franchise.

I used to think this as well, but now our "camping" weekend with my wife's sister and her family is really the only time I get to spend with them. It's a lot of fun just hanging out in tents with the nephews for a weekend, and having their camper makes it a hell of a lot easier to cook breakfast for 4 adults and 5 kids.

Something to be said for a 15-minute pile-everything-in-to-the-car-and-lets-GTFO-of-here when it's time to leave.

Still prefer our backpacking and canoe trips though - for sure.

thank you for the enlightened response, but that doesn't make it any less irritating. "We're hoping to get him on the draft pick." thanks coach.

it would be a great start.


I really floccing despise pro, college, and high school sports.
