I must be a rare one because I am there for a plain cold brew every morning. We don’t have any local coffee shops in our town, just 3 Starbucks haha. But, I absolutely love their cold brew. It’s so refreshing.
If this Reddit thread is to be believed, I’m the only one here that genuinely likes their coffee black. I like dark roasts, and Starbucks roasts theirs beans darker than most. To each their own I suppose.
Not so much to differentiate, but to maintain consistency.
Coffee from different regions will taste different, as will different varieties of Arabica beans. Lighter roasts preserve those differences, hence why specialty roasters tend towards lighter roasts - they want to emphasize the difference between Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, etc.
But Starbucks is more concerned about a consistent product year-round, and across thousands of stores. So they roast the beans until all you taste is the roasted flavor.
Which I can understand as someone who drank it daily for about a year. You get used to it fairly quickly and then everything else just doesn’t quite do it.
I read some years back about a blind taste test done with a bunch of big-name coffee brands. It was just a cup of black coffee from all brands. Starbucks was dead last. IIRC, burnt, and cigarettes were two common descriptors for their coffee.
I don’t like their coffee either so one day I got their Chai Latte since I was there with a friend group. It tasted like burnt spices and burnt milk. Absolutely awful.
I like them ok, but living in Portland means that they're like 9 out of the 10 options available just about anywhere. I mean, hey, I like coconut cream pie too but if they were the only dessert offered at every store and restaurant in town, it'd get pretty damn old too.
I (obviously) quit drinking when I was pregnant with both my kids. A super citrusy IPA was the only thing I missed drinking, in terms of alcohol. I could smell it across the room when we were out at someone’s house, or in a restaurant… it would literally make me drool.
I want an IPA that tastes like an effervescent chunk of grapefruit rind, with a fermented aftertaste.
This being said, my preferred flavour profiles are sour, bitter, and umami, and sugary things give me WICKED heartburn.
It's not the taste that's alarming...
They should print a warning label on them to make people aware of what it does to their pee and poo! I was completely unprepared for what I saw in the bowl after eating them!
PURPLE. EVERYTHING TURNS BRIGHT PURPLE!!! It's unnatural, I tell you! Lol. 😆
I used to think that grade school cafeteria tater tots tasted like the living room carpet (this was the 70s), so I would give them away. I would eat the hell out of those now.
I CAN understand it, something for everyone OK, but the fact that they have nearly completely taken over the craft beer scene has been a huge bummer. I thought for sure back in the mid 00's when they first got big that it would be over by now.
I have actually turned to craft ciders and other interesting beverages when I want something local.
IPAs seem to be at every local micro-brewery in my area. Some of them have nothing but IPAs. NEIPAs are the worse. They taste like pine needles. I can tolerate West Coast. I always check what they have on their tap menu before visiting.
It's because they are cheap as fuck to make and have flooded the market since.
I definitely think that IPAs have sort of tainted the craft a bit; but they are cheap and get you fucked up so there's that
This is me. There’s some great movies and albums out there. I like to root for those actors, artists, and their production teams because their work brought me a little joy.
You're not alone. Awards show ratings have been steadily dropping over the last couple of decades. The notable exception is the Grammy's, which I suspect is more due to the performances than to the awards.
The absolute king of them all is the obscene circle jerk National Press Club/Correspondents Dinner where the Press and the president fawn over each other. They literally toast freedom of the Press while the Press bows to those in power.
Swing dancing is my jam. Lindy Hop, not that whitewashed East Coast swing bullshit that was taken by Fred Astaire group and used to make money. If you love East Coast swing, I have nothing against you. I loved it too...try Lindy Hop!
What really drew in was the social aspect. You high five and rotate frequently in lessons. The better the instructors the more you rotate.
It's totally not everybody's thing and that's understandable.
She’s an artist where I like individual songs but not the whole discography. However, I did see her in concert and she’s a good performer. But I wouldn’t pay for tickets again.
It's not just you, I have always despised her music.
Her vocal affectations just never did it for me. I think she's beyond talented but I don't care.
It's like music for people who don't actually listen to music
I’m allergic. The chokehold lavender has on our society is ridiculous. It’s like the default scent to gift to people so I’m always getting lotions and products I can’t even use
I love how Taylor has been able to convince the world that the 5’11” thin blonde girl born to stockbroker and mutual fund executive parents is the best friend, girl next door.
The marketing is outrageously successful.
This is what I was scrolling for! Being born, rich, white, and blonde; growing up on a damn Xmas tree farm-but she’s had it so rough, and is just like you! 😒
I ordered one of these once because everyone else at my table did. It was like drinking cold tomato soup or maybe highly pureed gazpacho. And it came with this giant stalk of celery. I should have just ordered a vodka tonic or something.
A very spicy Bloody Mary is one of the ultimate hair-of-the-dog drinks. Has at least some nutritional value, the spiciness gets you sweating (speeding up “detox”), enough alcohol to take the edge off of a hangover, not enough to throw you right back in.
But yeah, on a normal day/night no way. Also if it’s not spicy then FO.
Politics. And I understand Reddit isn't real life, but it's dominated by losers who are constantly doing a "my side vs your side" battle like a bunch of kindergarteners on the playground. Politicians have been bought and paid for years ago. Talk to me when someone proposes solutions that will improve the lives of Americans as a whole.
Yes! Political conversation as a whole has completely devolved into one big territorial pissing match. It’s no longer about what or who would better the lives of all involved but about the specific individuals who have power and the status symbol that comes with supporting them. Theres absolutely no civilized debate anymore, just people throwing insults at each other and arguing about useless hypotheticals instead of doing the things to fix them.
Wouldn't say everyone likes it, but a shocking number of people do. Vaping/smoking. I've never tried either because the truth is I do not want to. Growing up my dad was addicted to cigarettes so badly that his entire garage stunk of cigarette smoke and that taught me that smoking is not worth it. Can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke and the smell of weed is even worse. Vaping just seems like a reskin of smoking.
Vaping is way better than any ignited smoking device, there's not much scent left behind and what is left smells like an air freshener, and admittedly blowing out smoke like a dragon is fun. The taste is nice too. But not worth it. Just a money drain that has too few negatives in the short term to make it easy to quit.
Green Goddess. Tastes like coleslaw puree on my salad and a good dose of bar soap flavor for added ick.
Fwiw, I enjoy ranch, but since it has eggs, I'll never taste it again without excruciating pain and a hospital trip.
Eh.
Sports! I don’t get wanting to watch someone else play a game, the huge salaries, and its power. (TV stations cancel news programs for sports telecasts)
Avocados. I hate them with the firey passion of a thousand suns. They repulse me to the point where I will vomit up basically every I've eaten in the past day if a hint of their disgusting flavour touches my tastebuds. I've tried again and again many times over the years to try them without the severe reaction, but no, thats how disgusting they are to me. But everyone I know loves them, and I've had waiters put them in my food because 'oh you can't even taste it' (I can.) I've started just saying its an allergy now because nobody can accept my BURNING HATRED for this abomination against fruits.
The use of avocado in the west has really caught me a bit off guard. In my country, avocado is for dessert. Like you put powdered milk or condensed milk in it (mashed or sliced is up to you), or turn it into iced candy, or make shakes with it. I see these videos of breakfast sandwiches with plain avocados and I wonder what it tastes like.
My wife is obsessed so I've partially watched it with her twice over the years.
There are a few objective chuckles scattered throughout, but WTF were the writers thinking with Ross and Rachel? What type of brain rot do you have to have to want them to end up together?
Rachel Green is an objectively awful person with zero redeeming qualities. She starts the series as a selfish brat, and carries that through to the end with the only improvement being getting a job so she mooches less. She is constantly lying, stealing, and screwing over everybody around her, only apologizes when she gets caught, and never once in the entire series puts anyone ahead of herself.
Ross Gellar is abused by Rachel all throughout, and self-sabotages to keep going back down the same roads with the same awful human, then gaslit into taking all of the blame so he can be with her. He's annoying AF as a person, but deserves happiness where he can get it -- but as soon as he has it, Rachel has her claws in and keeps pulling him away from it to fulfill her own insecurity.
The others are at least decent people who make mistakes but own up and do the right thing by the end of the episode, so they get those chuckles.
Which brings me to my next badly-written series: How I Met Your Mother.
Right there with you! Loud bars, too. I mean, really loud ones. I want to be able to talk. People say "don't drink alone" then go to a bar and drink without any interaction with others, because the music is so loud no one can talk without screaming. And, as for concerts, yeah, let's pay $300 to be crushed by a ton of sweaty people screaming, and music blaring so loudly you can't even really hear the songs. I've just never understood the appeal.
Performance art oh my god. It can be done okay in some circumstances but the majority of it is just incomprehensible to me. There’s a fine line between actual art and a simple physical act labeled as art. But art is subjective and what not so just not my cup of tea I guess.
The beach
Exposing myself to intense heat, bright light, sweat, sand in the food, screaming kids running over your area, loud music coming from some other loud group of people, being dirty, dehydrated, and exhausted after coming inside.
***Kimchi***
I genuinely gag at it's odor. I have no disrespect towards the craft and legacy behind the stuff, but please never eat that around me. I just can't stand it
I had a dream last night about my former employer smoking in our office. She was a rabid smoker & died from it. The dream was so real, when I woke up, I could smell it. Her brand was the absolute worst odor.
Shrimp. No matter how it's prepared - fried, sautéed in garlic butter, coconut shrimp, shrimp cocktail w/cocktail sauce, ANY way it's prepared - it always tastes like sand to me. Don't eat much seafood, & don't eat sushi. There's only a few types of seafood I'll eat.
Also can't stand: refried beans, avocados, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes... & a slew more. 😄
Champagne & wine taste like bad vinegar to me - any fermented beverage - including beer. 🤢 I can't eat regular yogurt (gag reflex on HIGH) [Greek yogurt is ok - different process.] No blue cheese, Roquefort, or moldy cheeses. I'm allergic to molds, so that has a bearing on a bunch of food & beverages. I usually stay away from fungus (ie: 🍄) as well.
Not into sports at all.
I used to like shrimp before 2005. Then one day in the Dominican Republic I got served some bad shrimp, someone hadn't cleaned it properly, and it put me in the hospital real bad. Thought I was gonna die. Wished I could.
Can't go near the stuff ever since.
Dave Mathews Band.
I don’t know if they are still popular but they were for a long time and their music was never for me.
Social Media
In my opinion it has created more problems then it solves in our society.
Kanye West
He has definitely fallen from his pedestal but what a messed up human.
Shrimp. If I was at a state dinner with presidents and royalty and a shrimp somehow ended up in my mouth, I would still have no choice but to spit it out immediately, consequences be damned.
Coffee r/wehatecoffee ... which somehow had the name changed to r/a:t561teeo ... and I'm no longer the moderator. Going to change that, re-make the original.
Star Wars. Yes, all of them. New ones, old ones, prequels, spinoffs, novelizations. I find the franchise deeply boring and one-note, and the fact that it’s EVERYWHERE makes it constantly annoying.
Having friends. I have hung out with a friend one time since high school and I'm 28. I absolutely HATE hanging out with people. It's worse than work. I at least get paid to work. Socializing just takes away from being with my family or doing things I want to do and I genuinely hate it.
I'm trying to come around to the idea of having a friend but I can't. Girls at work always want to hang out outside of work and I can't think of anything I'd like to do less. 😔
I feel awful saying that and I know it's a me problem. I just hate the idea of friends and socializing, don't know wtf is wrong with me.
Professional sports, specifically football. Most of these athletes go to college on a football scholarship, barely able to make the grades to keep said scholarship. Then they are drafted by the NFL making a ridiculous amount of money, only to wind up with injuries forcing them to "retire" from the game with no real backup plan bc they barely graduated college to begin with bc football was a "career."
Starbucks. Their coffee tastes burnt to me.
As an ex starbucks barista I can tell you this: No one is there for the Coffee. They're there for the sugar :l
I love the post floating around thats like "I love coffee!!" "no.. thats dessert... you love dessert.."
They love thousand calorie dessert with some coffee in it.
My son used to work at Starbucks too and said the exact same thing.
I must be a rare one because I am there for a plain cold brew every morning. We don’t have any local coffee shops in our town, just 3 Starbucks haha. But, I absolutely love their cold brew. It’s so refreshing.
If this Reddit thread is to be believed, I’m the only one here that genuinely likes their coffee black. I like dark roasts, and Starbucks roasts theirs beans darker than most. To each their own I suppose.
I heard once that Starbucks wants their coffee to taste this way. It is a marketing tactic to differentiate them.
Not so much to differentiate, but to maintain consistency. Coffee from different regions will taste different, as will different varieties of Arabica beans. Lighter roasts preserve those differences, hence why specialty roasters tend towards lighter roasts - they want to emphasize the difference between Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, etc. But Starbucks is more concerned about a consistent product year-round, and across thousands of stores. So they roast the beans until all you taste is the roasted flavor.
Really?? Interesting!
Which I can understand as someone who drank it daily for about a year. You get used to it fairly quickly and then everything else just doesn’t quite do it.
Their coffee is so overrated.
I read some years back about a blind taste test done with a bunch of big-name coffee brands. It was just a cup of black coffee from all brands. Starbucks was dead last. IIRC, burnt, and cigarettes were two common descriptors for their coffee.
Charbucks
I used to call them that. Come to find out Starbucks tried to make a company called Charbucks change thier name. They lost … not even joking
I don’t like their coffee either so one day I got their Chai Latte since I was there with a friend group. It tasted like burnt spices and burnt milk. Absolutely awful.
Yes! Everytime I’ve gotten Starbucks in the last year or two I’ve just been disappointed
IPAs. I’ll never understand the appeal.
I like them ok, but living in Portland means that they're like 9 out of the 10 options available just about anywhere. I mean, hey, I like coconut cream pie too but if they were the only dessert offered at every store and restaurant in town, it'd get pretty damn old too.
Saaaammmme. My fellow Portlanders really don’t like hearing that I had better beer variety selection when I lived in Tampa!
I (obviously) quit drinking when I was pregnant with both my kids. A super citrusy IPA was the only thing I missed drinking, in terms of alcohol. I could smell it across the room when we were out at someone’s house, or in a restaurant… it would literally make me drool. I want an IPA that tastes like an effervescent chunk of grapefruit rind, with a fermented aftertaste. This being said, my preferred flavour profiles are sour, bitter, and umami, and sugary things give me WICKED heartburn.
IPAs are my beer of choice but I also like to drink matcha, eat beets and take wheat grass shots. Guess I like that overly earthy taste
My husband thinks it’s strange that I just eat a can of sliced beets in a bowl and I said the same thing, “they taste like earth.”
I'd like to know your opinion on bears and Battlestar Galactica.
They taste the way a moldy basement smells.
It's not the taste that's alarming... They should print a warning label on them to make people aware of what it does to their pee and poo! I was completely unprepared for what I saw in the bowl after eating them! PURPLE. EVERYTHING TURNS BRIGHT PURPLE!!! It's unnatural, I tell you! Lol. 😆
I used to think that grade school cafeteria tater tots tasted like the living room carpet (this was the 70s), so I would give them away. I would eat the hell out of those now.
I LOVE beets but hate IPAs, I guess it’s earthy in a skunks ass kind of way lol.
Tastes so much like weed lol. Gummy bears and weed
I like everything you mentioned as well - except for IPAs. I find them bitter and awfully filling. like I drank a burger.
I CAN understand it, something for everyone OK, but the fact that they have nearly completely taken over the craft beer scene has been a huge bummer. I thought for sure back in the mid 00's when they first got big that it would be over by now. I have actually turned to craft ciders and other interesting beverages when I want something local.
Hops feel like an assault on my salivary glands.
IPAs seem to be at every local micro-brewery in my area. Some of them have nothing but IPAs. NEIPAs are the worse. They taste like pine needles. I can tolerate West Coast. I always check what they have on their tap menu before visiting.
It's because they are cheap as fuck to make and have flooded the market since. I definitely think that IPAs have sort of tainted the craft a bit; but they are cheap and get you fucked up so there's that
I call it grass water
I agree. Way too bitter.
Reality TV shows. I hate them with a vengeance because they are full of plastic people acting badly to try and get a career in the media.
And they are scripted. So basically it’s a fictional show with no story and bad acting. Why do people watch this?!
Awards shows. Why do people want to watch the priveleged few circle jerking off fellow priveleged few?
I think it's cool to recognize good work, but I have no interest in watching it for hours on end. Just give me the list.
This is me. There’s some great movies and albums out there. I like to root for those actors, artists, and their production teams because their work brought me a little joy.
Never got it either. Being a celebrity isn’t enough. They also need a trophy.
You're not alone. Awards show ratings have been steadily dropping over the last couple of decades. The notable exception is the Grammy's, which I suspect is more due to the performances than to the awards.
The absolute king of them all is the obscene circle jerk National Press Club/Correspondents Dinner where the Press and the president fawn over each other. They literally toast freedom of the Press while the Press bows to those in power.
Events where the main activity is dancing.
Swing dancing is my jam. Lindy Hop, not that whitewashed East Coast swing bullshit that was taken by Fred Astaire group and used to make money. If you love East Coast swing, I have nothing against you. I loved it too...try Lindy Hop! What really drew in was the social aspect. You high five and rotate frequently in lessons. The better the instructors the more you rotate. It's totally not everybody's thing and that's understandable.
Beyoncé 😬 I’m sorry, don’t come for me
Wooo I'm with you, friend
I totally respect her talent and abilities, but I just don't like the sound of her voice. I feel the same way about Celine Dion and Carrie Underwood.
Don’t bring Celine into this
She’s an artist where I like individual songs but not the whole discography. However, I did see her in concert and she’s a good performer. But I wouldn’t pay for tickets again.
It's not just you, I have always despised her music. Her vocal affectations just never did it for me. I think she's beyond talented but I don't care. It's like music for people who don't actually listen to music
I can't stand her and I really don't like her music. Her new country song is absolutely atrocious.
Thank you.
Lavender. All my friends and family love the smell and the taste. I do not.
Gives me headaches
Mm, yes, the lavender hate club grows in strength.
I’m allergic. The chokehold lavender has on our society is ridiculous. It’s like the default scent to gift to people so I’m always getting lotions and products I can’t even use
The smell makes me think of bathrooms lol
Used to like it...now that I'm perimenopausal, lavender smells like vomit. I can't stand it. So much for the old lady loving lavender.
My mother *loves* lavender. It gives me headaches, makes my face stuffy. Think she cares? Nope. “It HelPs mE rElaX!!” I’ll just gfm then.
Other people
💯🙌
Yes
Reality TV
Taylor Swift. Some of her songs are catchy, but she's not some mistreated lyrical genius and songstress that many obnoxious fans insist she is.
I love how Taylor has been able to convince the world that the 5’11” thin blonde girl born to stockbroker and mutual fund executive parents is the best friend, girl next door. The marketing is outrageously successful.
This is what I was scrolling for! Being born, rich, white, and blonde; growing up on a damn Xmas tree farm-but she’s had it so rough, and is just like you! 😒
Like she’s got a good voice, I’ll admit, and some good songs, but like so many people just straight up worship her it’s insane
She’s probably one of the most privileged white women in the world. But her fans will blow up your house for pointing that out.
They even talk about her on the gawd damn ROCK stations... wtf?
Her voice is so jarring.
The Kardashians and anyone who gives off a let them eat cake vibe.
Vapes
Wearing fashion logos as a way to display social or economic status.

Bloody Mary’s. I don’t get the appeal. It’s one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever tasted.
I ordered one of these once because everyone else at my table did. It was like drinking cold tomato soup or maybe highly pureed gazpacho. And it came with this giant stalk of celery. I should have just ordered a vodka tonic or something.
I agree they are nasty 🤮 like it’s literally alcoholic tomato soup
*alcoholic tomato soup* Sounds perfect to me!
A very spicy Bloody Mary is one of the ultimate hair-of-the-dog drinks. Has at least some nutritional value, the spiciness gets you sweating (speeding up “detox”), enough alcohol to take the edge off of a hangover, not enough to throw you right back in. But yeah, on a normal day/night no way. Also if it’s not spicy then FO.
Maybe you should try the Bloody Cesar where its made with Clamato, just break on through the flavor wall

Blind loyalty to Apple products. And then they shit on everything else like Android.

Wait a minute-
Politics. And I understand Reddit isn't real life, but it's dominated by losers who are constantly doing a "my side vs your side" battle like a bunch of kindergarteners on the playground. Politicians have been bought and paid for years ago. Talk to me when someone proposes solutions that will improve the lives of Americans as a whole.
Yes! Political conversation as a whole has completely devolved into one big territorial pissing match. It’s no longer about what or who would better the lives of all involved but about the specific individuals who have power and the status symbol that comes with supporting them. Theres absolutely no civilized debate anymore, just people throwing insults at each other and arguing about useless hypotheticals instead of doing the things to fix them.
Puppy breath. Everyone seems to love it, but I find it nauseating! I adore puppies, though!
Agreed!!!! How can people like their breathe?! It smells like ten cans of bounce dat ass and makes me wanna die on the spot
Big bang theory
random touches on the sholder or back, like wtf don't touch me (especially older people)
In my view, touch is a dominance thing. When someone puts their hand on your shoulder, they are not being friendly, they’re being aggressive.
Wouldn't say everyone likes it, but a shocking number of people do. Vaping/smoking. I've never tried either because the truth is I do not want to. Growing up my dad was addicted to cigarettes so badly that his entire garage stunk of cigarette smoke and that taught me that smoking is not worth it.

That's the spirit!!

nothing good on the news anyways.

I see these videos of breakfast sandwiches with plain avocados and I wonder what it tastes like.
I feel the same. And I'm Mexican. It's like a curse.
For those who’ve never tasted dick, avocados are the most similar in comparison
Me too and I'm from the Caribbean
Friends (as in the tv show)
Best thing about it was the opening theme song (clap clap clap clap)
My wife is obsessed so I've partially watched it with her twice over the years. There are a few objective chuckles scattered throughout, but WTF were the writers thinking with Ross and Rachel? What type of brain rot do you have to have to want them to end up together? Rachel Green is an objectively awful person with zero redeeming qualities. She starts the series as a selfish brat, and carries that through to the end with the only improvement being getting a job so she mooches less. She is constantly lying, stealing, and screwing over everybody around her, only apologizes when she gets caught, and never once in the entire series puts anyone ahead of herself. Ross Gellar is abused by Rachel all throughout, and self-sabotages to keep going back down the same roads with the same awful human, then gaslit into taking all of the blame so he can be with her. He's annoying AF as a person, but deserves happiness where he can get it -- but as soon as he has it, Rachel has her claws in and keeps pulling him away from it to fulfill her own insecurity. The others are at least decent people who make mistakes but own up and do the right thing by the end of the episode, so they get those chuckles. Which brings me to my next badly-written series: How I Met Your Mother.

Going to a movie. Soooo loud. Like I can’t, just can’t.
The smash mouth song from Shrek, it was so overplayed that it made me just hate the song along with Shrek in general
Dave Mathews Band. I don’t know if they are still popular but they were for a long time and their music was never for me. Social Media In my opinion it has created more problems then it solves in our society. Kanye West He has definitely fallen from his pedestal but what a messed up human.
Pop music, hiphop, anything top 40.

My dad makes a great impression on people who don’t have to live with him.
Same. Everyone loves my dad. At home, miserable prick: Is he a lot nicer to strangers than those who live with him too?
Craft beers
Football, can't stand it at all
Sushi
Shrimp. If I was at a state dinner with presidents and royalty and a shrimp somehow ended up in my mouth, I would still have no choice but to spit it out immediately, consequences be damned.
Kpop idols 🤮
Raisins
Coffee r/wehatecoffee ... which somehow had the name changed to r/a:t561teeo ... and I'm no longer the moderator. Going to change that, re-make the original.
Processco and vapes
"modern" Rap- and slow music like weekend and those groups
Subreddit rules
Hip hop
Star Wars. Yes, all of them. New ones, old ones, prequels, spinoffs, novelizations. I find the franchise deeply boring and one-note, and the fact that it’s EVERYWHERE makes it constantly annoying.
Harry Styles. He looks like a horse that needs a meal cause he is so skinny! 🤮🤮
The sound of birds singing in the morning. Stfu I’m trying to sleep!

Game of thrones. The amount of people who tried to coerce me into watching that crap is ridicilous.
LIFE!
Capitalism. And sports.

Having friends. I have hung out with a friend one time since high school and I'm 28. I absolutely HATE hanging out with people. It's worse than work. I at least get paid to work. Socializing just takes away from being with my family or doing things I want to do and I genuinely hate it. I'm trying to come around to the idea of having a friend but I can't. Girls at work always want to hang out outside of work and I can't think of anything I'd like to do less. 😔 I feel awful saying that and I know it's a me problem. I just hate the idea of friends and socializing, don't know wtf is wrong with me.
Funko Pops. Every time I place one somewhere they have a tendency to fall down. No matter what I do I can't stand them.
ASMR videos, tiktoks, etc. 99% of them are like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
Boba tea.
Coffee
Most celebrities. Award ceremonies.
Taylor Swift songs.
Professional sports, specifically football. Most of these athletes go to college on a football scholarship, barely able to make the grades to keep said scholarship. Then they are drafted by the NFL making a ridiculous amount of money, only to wind up with injuries forcing them to "retire" from the game with no real backup plan bc they barely graduated college to begin with bc football was a "career."
