A mini-poll for you: what's something you don't like, that is so universally loved that you're almost afraid to admit you don't like it?
For example, I'm pretty open about my opinions, and I don't like many things that are trendy. But I don't like telling people that I hated the movie "The Dark Knight" because I invariably get a 'ZOMG you can't be serious! That movie is so AWESOME' response.
Also, I don't like beer. I admit it freely, but sometimes I keep my mouth shut because I know that someone will say I just haven't had GOOD beer, and if I have THIS beer I'll like it. And I never do. So around beer snobs I just say I'm not in the mood to drink.
Re: Come on, admit it.
I hate, hate, HATE the show Seinfeld. I cringe every time someone references it.
I also can't get into Glee. At all.
Twitter is stupid. No one needs to know when you're eating, bathing or taking a schit.
i also don't like twitter.
i HATE fake nails.
i don't like the simpson's or family guy.
i am sure there are some others--oh, dancing with the stars and american idol and everything on MTV.
hipsters. hate them. and boys and most girls in skinny jeans in general (unless worn with boots, ladies. or you are a size 0. sorry for being size-ist.)
(and laura, i don't like beers in cans, only good local beers.)

I also don't drink beer. Haven't touched it in about 13 years.
I hate bananas.
Can't think of anything else. I'm having a giddy afternoon so I'm all giggly and
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
Skinny jeans!!! ITA. Especially on guys. Where do you even put your balls when you wear those stupid things??
Not a fan of Lady Gaga either.
My answers are going to sound un-original - LOL
Lady Gaga - not sure what the big deal is about her, but she's just weird to me.
Any of the reality shows - I just can not seem to get into them.
Beer - although, I must say I go nuts (in the summer) for Bud Light Lime
Me: 40, Husband: 33
After an emergency D&C on Nov 8, 2011, we are giving up hope of ever becoming pregnant.
PAIF/SAIF Welcome
I agree on all of these things, except Glee. Though I am not really loving Glee lately. BUT the only one that I wouldn't shout on a farking street corner is that I hate Family Guy - people look at me like I'm crazy when I admit that.
I mean, who would give you a hard time for hating skinny jeans on guys? That can't possibly be an unpop op for most people...can it?
Not a fan of Seinfeld, Simpson's or Family Guy. I've never understood the big fuss for any of these.
I'm with everyone else with skinny jeans on guys. However, I own a pair (only wear them with boots) and a tunic sweater or longer sweater.
I'm probably all by myself on this one but I'm not a big fan of summer. I prefer winter and sweaters and cozy fires over the hot, humid, sweaty weather of summer.
I LOVE GAGA-LOO
love love love love love. and katy perry.

This makes me think of the Miller Lite commercial.
I hate nuts in cookies. And in chocolate. Whoever decided to ruin a perfectly good hershey kiss (or m&m) by putting an almond/peanut/whatever inside?
Tomatoes.
Grilled Chicken.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
I'm afraid we must break up. Irreconcilable differences. I'm sorry, but it just has to be this way...
Word. I like my nuts with no chocolate, thankyouverymuch. ;-P
Hater. PB is okay. Nuts are not.
I am in a crux as I'm not really afraid to have an unpopular opinion.
I loathe Uggs with a fiery passion.
I feel this way about most of the things people have posted.
However, there are a few pop culture things that get such a strong response from people that I don't feel like dealing with the aftermath.
I guess one unpopular opinion I have that's a little controversial, though I'm not afraid to say it, is that I think smoking in public should be illegal. Designated closed-in areas would be ok, as would smoking in your home or car as long as there are only consenting adults present. While we're on that note, it should be illegal to smoke in a car or house with kids nearby.
Not afraid to admit these but I don't like:
bacon
avocado (yes, I'm really from California)
skinny jeans (80's flashback)
leg warmers
big purses -just nms
farmville
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
This made me sad - I liked you before I knew this.
I hate reality TV (even though it pays my bills).
I like chocolate, but I don't love it - I can't have chocolate cake with fudge filling and choc frosting covered with chocolate shavings. That's just too much.
I hate Seinfeld.
I love movies and film, but have NO interest in watching a lot of the classics (I've never seen Godfather).
I hate Snuggies - but I admit they seem useful.
I don't see a point to drinking alcohol. I love champagne, but not because of the buzz it gives me.
ETA: I've decided I can deal with the fact you don't like the Dark Knight Laura.
To add to this: I CANNOT STAND when asshats pull up to a stop light, roll down their windows and stick their cigarettes as faaaaaar out their windows and as close to my car as possible, so that it's coming in through my vents. Seriously?! It's all in your goddamn lungs and all over your clothes, hair, etc. already - keep inside your own car! It makes me want to shove the cigarettes up their peeholes.
i think crocs look dumb on anyone over the age of 5 (no matter what color - i understand why nurses wear them though, doesn't mean they look good)
i hate tomatoes, mushrooms, and peppers. and grits, and yes im still a southerner.
I hate Warhol. HATE. He ruined professional art and directly led to a world where idiots with expensive software programs get more acclaim than those of us who have natural talent and have taken the time to learn how to actually paint.
Oh, and his Marilyn? Makes her look ugly.
I agree with a lot of these.. Seinfeld, tomatoes, skinny jeans, crocs.
I will add Pulp Fiction. I am sure there is more but I can't think right now.
I can't paint but TOTALLY agree with you. YUCK!
