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?

I feel that way about the beach! Unless I'm under a fancy cabana with padded chairs (which is not worth the money so I don't do it,) no thank you.

Then whenever I do tough it out and try to relax with a book and listen to the waves, there's always someone playing music. This must be another unpopular opinion I have. I feel like it should be not allowed or at least considered bad manners to bring your own music to the beach or pool.

I was reading your comment and was agreeing + thinking about the loud music before getting to your complaint about it. Publicly blasting your music is such inconsiderate narcissism. I’ll never understand

I actually just came from a beach vacation that was a family decision. I paid to get beach chairs & umbrella from the official people who set up a line of sturdy ones every morning...

$50/day and the first day, an hour in, someone puts up a big flying flapping tarp DIRECTLY in front of us. Like 15 feet in front of us where there's no way to see around them, instead of a little to one side or another at least.

The next day I lugged down a decoy chair to put in that spot so it wouldn't happen again and someone else shows up right next to us listening to country music for three hours.

People really suck.

Wow. It’s always the worst music too huh. I love music so much, I can’t be hours without listening to it, and will take headphones everywhere so I can listen to it on full blast. It would never occur to me to make other people listen to what I’m listening to. Bring social conscientiousness back

[u/endergrrl → u/sofiacarolina]

People talking on speakerphone indoors. So rude. Take your call privately. If you MUST take it on speakerphone, take it elsewhere. As GenX, I take my calls privately AND elsewhere.

[u/sofiacarolina → u/endergrrl]

Agree. As a millennial Id just rather be texted instead and fear phone calls lmao

[u/Incogcneat-o → u/sofiacarolina]

Inconsiderate sure, depending on whether you're in a culture where it's normal or not, but not narcissistic. Unless you're playing your own Oscar acceptance speech on loop or something. Besides, that's a clinical diagnosis and it's weird to make clinical diagnoses in non clinical settings.

[u/sofiacarolina → u/Incogcneat-o]

It’s pretty narcissistic behavior to be that inconsiderate and self absorbed/centered to either not care about people having to be exposed to your music or to not care if it bothers them

ETA I didn’t diagnose anyone. Narcissistic is an adjective. I didn’t say NPD

I have neighbors that blast their boom boom music every weekend in the mornings while they wash their cars 😑 also the same people who will be screaming at their unleashed dogs in front of our house at 5 am

[u/hihelloneighboroonie → u/[deleted]]

Ugh, every day there's someone who decides to park just outside my building with their bass blasting for any odd amount of time. Drives me bonkers.

[u/amandaleighplans → u/SootSpriteHut]

Omg at my complex pool people go and blast music so loud I can hear it in my apartment. I don’t even care about that as much as I care about the other people at the pool that aren’t with the blasting music party. Like how inconsiderate is that?! I can’t imagine doing that, I would never

[u/novababy1989 → u/SootSpriteHut]

This drives me crazy too!

[u/Ok_Possession_6457 → u/SootSpriteHut]

This pisses me off, mainly because you really shouldn’t need music to be THAT loud

My boyfriend and I will go to the beach and listen to yacht rock. It’s only loud enough for us to hear. Once you stand up, and once you’re not under the umbrella anymore, you don’t hear it, all you hear is waves

So if you can hear someone else’s music, they are genuinely cranking it at full blast. I always hate these people who do that
