I first heard of these posts from Kristin! These are things I just don’t get that others seem excited about! Now, with that being said – to each their own. People probably don’t like the things I like. That’s what keeps life interesting! I hope this makes you laugh and know that we can still be blog friends, okay? Sound off in the comments about what you just don’t “get”!

Alcoholic soft serve – it’s way too cold for me and you have to “eat it”. My sister said it has to be soooo cold because of the alcohol having to stay frozen. I literally felt like my tongue was burning. I think I got “tongue burn”. I am glad I tried it but it’s not for me.

Hey Dudes shoes – these are the ugliest shoes I have ever seen and there is nothing feminine about them. I don’t even like them on literal dudes. “Hey Dude, your shoes are ugly!”

Tall Tables – maybe it’s because I’m on the shorter side. I feel like I’m mounting a horse. I am not graceful. My legs dangle. This stranger appears to be more skilled in the art of a tall table.

This place only had tall tables.

Sushi as a meal – I would like one or two pieces as an appetizer, but I really don’t want to eat sushi as my meal. This is a new epiphany for me.

Beaver gas stations – it’s still a gas station. I don’t get it. I don’t enjoy a gas station for my shopping. I pump my gas, buy nothing else, and leave. I will admit that I have never visited a beaver gas station. Now, I am an encourager of more fun and whimsy in your life, so if this is your fun and your whimsy, go for it! But now that I heard about the situation in Beavercreek, Ohio with the big beaver suing the little beaver I will boycott the big beaver. You can’t trademark all the beavers. That’s just not right. Beavercreek, Ohio has more right to all the beavers in their business names than the Big Beaver Corporation!

Buying/ Using disposable water bottles – I think the water tastes bad and I don’t enjoy having plastic to recycle. It’s a huge waste of money and so bad for the environment. Plus, the sound they make when they are empty and being crushed is horrible to me. I was a teacher during the “flip the water bottle” phase and it was horrible. I also had someone crushing a plastic water bottle during many lessons. Some schools are now banning metal water bottles. I do get that. We had a major girl fight at my school where the two girls used Stanley cups as weaponry.

Paying $$$$$ to go to concerts – you are still so far away, and the performers look like ants, and you have to watch on a video screen anyway. Give me a smaller venue and I guess a lesser-known artist.

I saw this on social media recently:

Amazon clothes – I have had very little success. I have figured out that I need to not be super cheap on Amazon to get something good – like $30 or more. I would say an exception would be Amazon Essentials tanks and tees. I have loved that line. Otherwise, most Amazon clothing is impulse for me and ends up being returned. And, why do their brands have such weird names like “Anrabess” and “Ekouear”?

Drive thru coffee – I don’t do it much anymore so maybe that’s why the price including a tip is shocking to me now. I don’t really enjoy the paper cup or anything about the drive thru coffee experience. I usually spill it, too.

Extreme online shopping – I love getting a package in the mail, but when I have packages coming every day or several days in a row, I feel kind of gross. I don’t like what it does to me as a person. I track, I stalk, I stay home and wait for my packages. I cancel plans. Just kidding!

Outlet malls – I think they used to be better than they are now. The last time I went to one, the prices didn’t seem discounted at all. I have heard that some brands make a specific line of clothing to be sold at outlet malls.

Packing cubes – I have them. I have the compression type. I can’t seem to make them work for me. I am a roller. I roll my clothing. I feel like the cubes need a certain amount of space and rolled clothes can fit better.

Social Media Usage Between Couples – I hate when a couple shares a social media account “BenandLynn Jones”. Why? I hate when a couple holds a conversation in the comments. Don’t y’all live together? I hate public posts that could have been private. Who are you putting on a show for?

AI signs and AI photos – There is an AI template, and everyone is using it for flyers or signs. I looked for an example but couldn’t find one to share. Wardrobe Oxygen talked about why she never ate breakfast at her hotel on a recent trip. The AI poster was horrible. I couldn’t find her photo again, but the AI generated bacon looked like an animal tongue. She said it totally turned her off. Let’s use our noggins, people!

I have seen some people use AI photos of themselves on social media and act like it’s a normal photo. I just saw you in real life and you don’t look like that. I guess filters are ok, but AI just bothers me in this way.

What is an unpopular opinion of yours?
