Camping. My wife is into this, and I get dragged into it one or two weekends every summer. Completely miserable experience.
Give me a hotel with a nice king bed and a hot tub.

Often when I see a highly thanks post, this comes to mind:

Yup, the thanks plugin was not a good move imo. Too many "I gotta make a joke post to get pointless thanks" posters came from it.
The overall repeated jokes on this forum get tired too. It wasn't really funny the first time, yet some posters will repeat it 103294783297234 times to really beat any bit of humor from it.

I love this post. I hate hearing the term. "Oh is this your man cave?". No it's a room, anyone can use it, there's a tv and some gym crap. I'm not a child that needs a play room.

-Justin Bieber (his new music is worse than his old stuff)
-The Toronto Blue Jays (Start playing games all over the country, then we can talk about you being "Canada's team", go Angels!)
-Connor McDavid (No explanation needed)
-TSN (has become the TMZ of the sporting world and all good talent has left other than McKenzie)
-Tim Horton's (Coffee tastes like water and dirt mixed together and their food is like astronaut food, and the phony "Canadian" angle they play up)
-Cars (IDGAF what I drive, I don't care what anyone else drives, if it can play my music and get me from A to B I'm sold)
-NFL football (Way too hit and miss for me, I've tried so hard to like it but I just can't)
-Country Music (No explanation needed)
-The phony country atmosphere of this city (we live in a city of well over 1,000,000 people, we're not cowboys and country folk)
-Superhero movies (way too many of them, the first ones in a series usually aren't too bad but they become terrible money grabs after that)
-Leonardo DiCaprio (I think every movie I've seen of his were absolutely terrible, he has a man-bun, and he vapes)
-Family Guy (Other than Peter I don't think there's a single funny character on that show, Stewie is awful, and the show overall is pretty poorly written)
-The Gym (give me a home workout and an old fashioned run and let me save my money and not have to share sweaty used equipment with a bunch of meatheads)
-Stand Up Comedy (just not my thing)
-Those Bad Lip Reading Videos (again, just not my thing, I don't see the comedic appeal)
-The Beach (no, I don't want to get a sunburn, lay around for hours, get saltwater in my mouth, and get sand down my pants and in my house and car, there's better ways to enjoy the weather and outdoors)
-Pocket Dawgs (literally taste the exact same as a hotdog to me expect there's a longer line and more expensive)
-Chocolate (ew)
-Pastries (double ew)
-Pasta (triple ew)
-Flat brimmed hats (put a curve in your hat, you look like a doofus, especially if you're over 15 years old)
-Rap music (I'm sorry, I just don't relate to songs about growing up in the ghettos of Los Angeles or New York, I do, however, think there are lots of talented rappers, I just don't relate to most of it)
-PC Gaming (I don't care at all about frame rate, processing speed, or whatever else that mumbo jumbo is, it's all irrelevant to me, give me a console where I don't have to worry about if I can run the game or not)
-World Juniors (nothing but a product of the TSN hype machine, do not care one little bit about it)
-Christmas (Yay, spending money to give things to people that don't need anything, and probably don't want whatever I'm giving them, and now I get to listen to terrible music non-stop and watch annoying ads)
-Netflix (talk about a bunch of mediocre crap, even the American one isn't all it's cracked up to be)
-Nightclubs (nothing better than overpriced drinks from bartenders who expect you to tip graciously, and then going out to party with a bunch of 18 year old's who seemingly just discovered alcohol for the first time)
-Sleeping (I'd rather be awake doing something with myself)
-Raymond (The title suggests everybody loves him but I thought that show sucked)
-UFC (Stupid sport with annoying athletes and annoying fans)
And all you Beatles haters need to give your heads a shake!

I like my onions sauted in a pan with fresh mushrooms in a teriyaki sauce. Goes great with a BBQ steak and baked potato.

That's a fair question, because yes, I do hate a lot of popular things. My friends all thought I was insane when I told them I wasn't paying $300 to see Taylor Swift with them in August (which to be fair the seats were in the top row of the second bowl of Rexall, and I wouldn't pay $300 for floor seats to see someone I do like). Most of my friends and I bond over hockey or baseball. I know it seems like my life is horrible but it's really not that bad! I swear!

Nightclubs/bars/parties with mind numbingly loud music playing. Sorry but yelling at each other to hear only half a sentence at a time isn't fun.

Comedies. Movies and TV shows, mostly.
Subtle, clever humour--real situations kind of humour--is more my thing, but when it's so in-your-face obnoxious, one joke after the other, I just can't stand it.

Beesley. I find him grating and amateurish. Makes the game sound like a monster truck rally.

He also mispronounces so many names... ones that any casual hockey fan would know.
Manson became Mason yesterday.

Fair enough, thanks for the explanation. I actually agree with a few of your points,especially about the beach, and flat brimmed hats.
Another thing I'd like to ad is piercings. Mainly facial ones. I just hate them and think they make people look ridiculous. If a woman has a cute face but then has a piercing that's the first thing I notice about her and to me it completely takes away from the cuteness of her face. If there were identical female twins, and the only difference is that one had a facial piercing and one didn't, IMO the one without the piercing would be better looking. I just strongly dislike piercings.
