Leather is the worst.

Lets take a material that is hot AF in the summer or cold AF in the winter and make sure it's easy to scratch and have it crack and rip well before the end of the cars life and to top it off, lets make it so if you want a different color other than black, you get the added bonus of your jeans staining it, Now lets charge a high premium for it!

When I was looking at desk chairs a while back I took the time to learn about what the different grains of leather mean. Now I can't bear to even look at anything made with bonded leather. Basically the chipboard of the fabric world. It's literally ground up leather scraps bound together with adhesives and crap. The percentage of actual leather can be really low.

So yeah, long story short, I agree. Unless you're getting good quality top grain leather, might as well get some nice fabric or even PU is pretty good these days. It'll definitely outlast garbage bonded leather.

You've just never had good deep dish pizza.

McDonalds french fries. Too small and salty and have no taste to them.

Not great fries, but they're passable if you eat them fresh out of the fryer. If they sit for any amount of time before you start eating them, they're terrible.

I like them a lot, but you're right, they get bad fast. I once let some cool down to room temperature then had one and it went very badly for my taste buds. I bet a raw potato would taste better.

This is gonna sound really weird, but concerts. Maybe I've just never been to a good one, but I find them boring...or annoying, if it's faster/younger type music, because the crowd gets so obnoxious. Accidentally briefly ended up in an impromptu mosh pit once years ago, I was seriously ready to knock someone out.

Of course I like music (who doesn't like music?), but to me it's always a background thing. Driving/gym/party/pub/club, etc. But to just sit there quietly and WATCH people play music...I've just never got how it's entertaining. And live versions of songs always sound way worse than the released, studio version anyways.

I legit would take free Flames tickets in the bleeders over front row centre seats to any musical act...unless the singer is really hot, and then it's for a whole other reason that has nothing to do with music..

Crossfit.

Golf, it's a good day of fishing wasted.

Stupid tight flood pants to show off the flamboyant socks.

Justin Timberlake, he was one of the lead singers of the Backstreet Boys for crying out loud, he epitomizes cheesy manufactured McMusic (I think he was even on a MacDonald's commercial fittingly enough).

NBA, bunch of freak-tall guys bouncing a ball and throwing it at a hoop while slapping each other and bragging.

Poker, doing math/concentrating on dumb stuff while while wasting your money, why not just drink and watch sports or something.

Volkswagen's, overpriced and ugly.

Going to Vegas, a-hole tourists all over and your wallet hemorrhaging is not my idea of a good time.

Campgrounds with RV's.

Video games, I don't have time or patience for that crap.

MBA's, instant ticket to being a flakey, blowhard, id-complex a-hole or is it that those dicks self select themselves into the MBA program to begin with (chicken or the egg?).

Contrived wedding photos (brick wall, graffiti in background, `comedic scenes`, in a field blablalbala), I hate these, maybe everyone secretly does though?

Gyms, just buy a squat rack and olympic set and work out at home. The gym should be the last possible alternative for the unfortunate souls that do not have the space for their own stuff.

Ha, who was the one who mentioned how masculine guys will always pretend to only know enough about feminine movies to let you know what they're talking about, but then won't remember the second part or will purposely get something wrong?

I like how every time someone mentions a food in here - someone always chimes in with "oh you just haven't had the good kind" or something to that effect.

How the hell would you know what kind of deep dish pizza I have had? Is it so unfathomable that I have had "good" deep dish pizza and still find it awful? I've been to Giordano's for Christ's sake. It's gross.
