I Don’t Like That!
Michelle tagged me last week for a meme. I’ve been so busy that I almost forgot about it, but here are the rules:
- Link the person who tagged you
- Mention the rules on your blog
- Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
- Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
- Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged
Since I’ve done a similar meme in the past, I decided to change things up a little bit. I’m going to talk about six things that I don’t like, but that you probably do!
- Seinfeld — I hate this show. I hated it when it was on and I hate the reruns now. If it comes on, I quickly turn the channel. In my opinion, this is the dumbest show on the planet (well, if you don’t count Reno 911). I never understood why people liked this show.
- Mushrooms — Just don’t like ‘em.
- Crocs — Crocs are ugly. I realize that there are new styles out there, and I’ll even admit to some of them being cute. However, in general, I think Crocs are ugly. I especially hate them on children. I know, I know. Everyone thinks kids in Crocs are cute. Here’s my beef: Crocs are horribly unsupportive and terrible for playground play! Also, I have had multiple parents request a physical therapy evaluation because their children were “walking funny.” Guess what? All of those kids wore Crocs, and the problem went away when they got supportive shoes.
- John Mayer — First of all, he’s a tool. Second, he’s a womanizer. Third, he’s ugly. Fourth, his music sucks. C’mon John, try and write a song that doesn’t repeat “say what you need to say” 40 times.
- Rachel Ray — What is with the tucked in t-shirts? It’s a terrible look. Her personality drives me up the wall too. I just can’t stand to listen to her talk. While her recipes have improved, does anyone else remember the days where every episode was, “How to Cook a Giant Hunk of Meat”?
- Starbucks — It’s true. I don’t like Starbucks. Their coffee is bitter. Their espresso is even worse. I admit that I do drink Starbucks, but if I want to go in on a coffee run at work it’s either Starbucks or go without. If I had my druthers, there would be a Seattle’s Best on every corner. Sadly, I can only get Seattle’s Best at Borders…but at least I get it at a discount!
I’m not really into tagging people, so if you want to play along consider yourself tagged! I highly recommend you name six things you don’t like. This was fun!

I’m totally with you on numbers 2, 3 and 6. It’s SO good to know that I’m not the only one on the planet who is NOT enamored with Starbucks.

The way you feel about Seinfeld is how I feel about Everybody Loves Raymond. Everybody does NOT love Raymond, and frankly I’m a little irked that they would presume to know who I do and do not love.
I have no strong feelings either way about Starbucks.
I am starting to learn to like mushrooms.
I agree with you completely about John Mayer, Rachael Ray, and Crocs.

I love that you hate Seinfeld. I went to the movies the night of the Seinfeld finale so I wouldn’t have to watch it. I ALWAYS change the channel when it comes on. I HATE that show. (For the record I also don’t like The Family Guy or The Simpsons)

OK. We definitely need to be friends. Not only do we share a name, but I’m with you on basically all of these. Especially numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Awesome!

Rachel Ray makes me want to stab my eyes out. I hate “e.v.o.o.” and her “quick little healthy homecooked meals” because she rarely cooks anything that is healthy.
AND THE BODYSUITS! I know she wears them. I swear she wears them.

I HATE JOHN MAYER.
To add to your list of reasons to hate him: The way he looks when he sings. It is so fake-earnest that I want to kill him. Seriously. I might have to kill him if I ever see him. I find him that annoying.
Please don’t take this as a real threat on his life. I am, of course, speaking metaphorically.

Yes, thank you! Crocs ARE NOT good for walking around or playing. Everyone goes on and on about how comfortable they are, but that does not mean they’re good for your feet!
