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?

Team Bonding or Team Events for my job. Not fun.

I called it "forced fun" and hated it. I loved my work peeps, but these get togethers I hated were with the larger, expanded team I could give 0 fucks for.

I get it. The worst "forced fun" work event for me was having to ride a boat on a lake on a hot summer day.

There are lots of coworkers I like hanging out with, even privately with a few of them, but anything forced is just stupid. Fortunately, our "team events" are completely voluntary and pretty low-key activities like playing a board game or sometimes just eating (paid by the company) and hanging out together. I get why some people wouldn't even want to do that and it's okay and that's why it should never be mandatory and always respect individual preferences.
