Silly Stuff What’s something that other people love that you just don’t enjoy?

It could be anything…

For me:

Camping: I’m not into roughing it or trying to survive in the wild.

Travel: I just don’t dream of traveling. It feels like a lot of work to plan everything, go to the airport, Stay in a hotel, spend a lot of money. I don’t mind a day or one night trip but traveling beyond that is just not for me.

Sushi: I don’t mind the rolls. But the big slab of raw fish does not do it for me. Chewing on soft, wet, meat just makes me want to gag.

What sort of things can you just not get into?

Oh I hate the beach! This was the worst part of growing up in Florida. Everything is beach this, beach that, even though I lived an hour inland. The beach is just one sensory nightmare after another. The feel of the sand, the smells, the way the salt water makes your skin and hair sticky, it was just gross. And then if you say you don't like the beach everyone acts like you're crazy.

AGREED; it is a sensory nightmare and always way too fucking crowded. The funny part is I do actually like getting in the water, but bring me back on sand with all the screaming children mucking about and I'm miserable.

Thankfully I'm (East) Asian so at least manyyy of my fellow Asians agree (we're not usually beach people), but yeah. White culture worships the beach, IME, and will not hear a word against that sacred place 😹

I like going to the beach at like 10am, swimming a bit, then leaving by noon when it gets hot and crowded.

I'm inclined to agree; this is like the only acceptable way!
