I know it’s hard to wrap your head around it, but not everyone likes universally favorite things like taking a bath or watching The Bachelor. And when I say universally, I mean things that are great conversation starters, conversation silence killers, and friendship boosters. You just can’t go wrong by talking about them, or so we believe.

But it turns out, we forgot the crucial rule. There are as many likes and dislikes as there are people on this planet, and that’s a whole lot too much to count. So when someone asked on r/AskReddit “What do you think is disgusting that everyone else seems to like?" people finally had a chance to voice their unpopular opinions. The responses are pretty surprising, but they also give us a whole new other perspective on things we take for granted.

35 People Are Calling Out Popular Things They Find Disgusting The life story before you give me the mother flipping recipe. I just want the recipe.

NobodyHereMoveAlong , DapurMelodi Report

To find out exactly why some things irritate us so much, we spoke with Susan Petang, a certified life coach and the creator of “The Quiet Zone Coaching,” who teaches women how to stop feeling overwhelmed and start waking up happy in the morning again.

When asked whether it’s true that some of us are more prone to getting irritated, Susan confirmed it’s true. “The attitude you bring to the world is going to determine how you react to it. If you tend to be negative, self-absorbed, or even lack self-worth, you may feel more irritated by life than other folks do. Being unhappy in general colors your perception, so minor pain-in-the-butt stuff can feel much harsher,” she explained. 

“The most effective way to stop feeling irritated all the time is to discover what's eating at you under the surface.  If you're feeling this way often or with little reason, there's something else that's really bothering you,” Susan said and added that sometimes it’s best to see a coach or a therapist if you need outside help.

The good news is that we can all learn to deal with that strong feeling of being annoyed at something or someone. Susan said that learning to change the way we view irritating events, as well as finding compassion and setting limits with others when we need to, are how we get through that irritation.

The life coach explained: “Here's what that looks like. When a situation is annoying and irritating, ask yourself this question: 'What is something positive that can come from this? What lessons can I learn?' For example, if you're running late for work and traffic is bad, the upside is that you have extra time to mentally prepare for your job. A better parking spot might even open up! You may avoid an unpleasant client or phone call. You might learn that you have to wake up earlier to avoid this. There is always something positive to be found in any negative, irritating situation⁠—even if it's only that you're a Bad-Ass Warrior who survived it all.”

35 People Are Calling Out Popular Things They Find Disgusting For me, it's drinking to the point where you can't stand up. Like, head spinning, probably should take an Advil and lay down with your foot on the ground drunk.

That happened to me this 4th of July weekend. Went to visit some cousins up in Wisconsin for the 4th and had myself a wild time. It was my first time drinking without limits (am 18, don't arrest me). I tried to be responsible, didn't start drinking until 5 pm made sure to eat. Well Coors Light as you keep going, kinda gets easier and easier to drink. I was slamming them down without caution the whole night. It was pretty bad. In the back of my soupy mind, I was thinking "maybe I should slow down/stop?" But nope, I didn't.

It wasnt until my cousin and grandpa told me to lay down on the couch because I could not walk straight and almost fell down. It was bad. My head was spinning so badly, it was weird. Sitting up was impossible. Felt like there was a 20 lb weight in the back of my skull. I hated it. I felt stupid (I was stupid. I said some dumb s**t).

I remember thinking "man, people do this a LOT. Like, they get this drunk like it's normal." I don't mind drinking in general, but man getting tipsy like that was not enjoyable in the slightest. Idk how people get like that weekly, or daily in extreme cases. Drinking's fun, but moderation, y'know?

Better for you than cigarettes as they don't contain tar. They still give you the nicotine fix so it helps people to quit ciggies for good.

Exploitative Television. Shows that basically exist to make the viewer feel better about their own life by showing people struggle with their much harder life.

There’s a reason why people like the Jersey Shore cast, Octomom, etc. have meltdowns. It’s because they are put on display for the masses and they can’t separate their off screen life from onscreen.

Theme parks (and yes, even Disney World) and especially places like Great Adventure. It’s always crowded, always hot, there's long lines, it’s expensive, and I don’t enjoy most rides (I get motion sickness). Everyone in the world besides me seems to be obsessed with them. And yes I realize I sound like a Debbie Downer but it’s just not my idea of a good time.

Fantasies aren't a problem. If anyone finds them a problem, it isn't the fantasy that's the problem. Like it's said about beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. What's a real problem is when it's NOT a fantasy.
