I have never liked Brad Pitt in anything I have ever seen him in. I just don't get his appeal.

I dislike curly hair. I have it myself, and yet I hate it.

I know they are good for you and I have tried, but I can't make myself like avocadoes.

IMO when someone does that scratchy back-and-forth thing with a vinyl record, I don't know why it's so cool.

I also don't get why it's fun to ride a horse at the beach. Doesn't the horse feel uncomfortable on that shifting surface? And why would it be more fun than riding the horse anywhere else? And if you fall off your rear gets wet as well as sore...

Convertibles. They mess up my hair and force streams of air into the openings in my face.

I think Mark Twain is insufferable.

Outside bricks on an inside wall of a room seems cold and uncomfortable to me.

I hate old-fashioned bathroom and kitchen appliances. I love old-fashioned anywhere else in the house, but give me modern bathroom fixtures and tub and modern stove and fridge, please!

It feels good to get all that off my chest, whew.

Same. I just don't find him good-looking. At all. Same with Ryan Gosling, Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom.

For me, it's Tom Cruise. But that's ok, he loves himself enough to make up for any lack of interest on my part!

Oh yeah, add George Clooney to that. Ditto what I said about Tom.

I am tired of Johnny Depp. He is overrated. And a despicable individual.

I rode a convertible once. Very overrated as well.

I like curly hair.

Cowboy Bebop is overrated. Not bad. Just overrated.

I have pet mice!

I don't know why actors (and actresses) should always have to be handsome, anyway.
I mean, I get it when the character's look plays an important role in a specific movie, but it seems like normal looking people barely get hired anymore.
And I especially don't get why good looking people get hired to play bland-looking or ugly characters (and then get altered with computer effects or make up, with varying results).

I basically only will eat pizza with pineapple. My favorite is a combo pizza with tons of pineapple

I don't really care for movies or music (which is very weird in my group and with dating). I like certain songs and such but hate going to shows. Movies, I will go as a social thing but could take or leave the movie itself.

Don't really like the Beatles or Elvis

I am not a big fan of Star Wars and think Harry Potter is WAY overrated. I read all the books and saw most of the movies but still think it sucks.

Inspired by another thread:  Black tea should only be made with boiling water straight out of the kettle, with the tea bag already in the mug or pot.

A Song of Fire and Ice / Game of Thrones is highly overrated, depressing, and the majority of the characters are a mix of arrogant, airheaded, or just downright nasty. The only redeeming one is Khal Drogo and... well, yeah.

One can like the Twilight Saga and Lord of the Rings. It is not an either/or, despite what some of the fringes of my friends group believes. One of the many reasons they're the fringe - we operate on a 'don't yuck others yum' rule. The fringe violates it, a lot, and we just mostly gave up on them. Life's too short.

Pineapple and pepperoni is the best combo of pizza toppings.  ;D

I second a lot of these.

Where to start? I despise The Beatles-or more accurately, I despise the huge hero worship of them. They aren't an awful band but they are most definitely not The Greatest Ever. Give me The Who all day, every day.

George Clooney is deeply unattractive to me. I am not a fan of Brad Pitt either but I would take him over Clooney in a heartbeat. I also find Chris Evans (Captain America, not the British TV presenter) rather unattractive. I mean, he isn't awful looking or anything but nor is he OMG hot.

The Kardashians are utter trash and everything that is wrong with the world.  That may sound like a not so unpopular opinion, but in my circles, it is.

Thin Mints are oversweet and disgusting.

I love the look of sandals and socks. Actually, no I don't. I think that last one might be 'Snakes in a restaurant'. I don't think it is possible to like sandals and socks.

Oh, one more. Kate Moss is as ugly as sin. She always has been, and she is getting worse with age.  Looking very skinny is very highly overrated, I have no idea why people think it is attractive. I am of average weight but if you asked me to choose between being a bit overweight and between being as thin as models are meant to be, I would choose being fat all day every day. People like to scream about health when you say that, but being skinny is just as unhealthy (often more so) and absolutely no more attractive.

I do like them (as long as I don't have to wear them - sandals feel awful on my feet). I don't see the logic in wearing both, since socks are to keep your feet warm and sandals are for keeping them cool. But I do like the aesthetic.  :P

I knew as soon as I posted that someone would disagree  ;D I quite like the look of MC Hammer style pants, so I have no room whatsoever to judge.

I grew up wearing socks with sandals. Little lace trimmed flower embroidered socks. So I don't judge.......but I can't get behind sweat socks.

One time, someone called me out for wearing sandals with socks, so I said, "Oh, you want me to take my socks off?"

I'd had surgery to remove the nail from my big toe due to an injury that led to an ingrown nail and a nasty infection.  This was a couple days after the procedure, so there was no more pus/oozing, but it looked absolutely disgusting and it was way too painful for me to wear a shoe that covered my toe.

He took one look at my toe and looked like he was about to throw up, so I asked him, "So, you're okay with me wearing socks?"
