Hey Pandas, What’s Something You Think 90% Of People Are Pretending To Enjoy? (Closed)

Yes!

It seems my whole town goes shopping on game day to load up on beer, as if enjoying it sober is not an option.

ouch.

I was bored several years ago. I watched England play Portugal in the final of some important thing. Like you say, a bunch of people running up and down the field. Then there was extra time so they could do it a bit more. Then some extra extra time. And finally, getting sick of all of this, they just had a bunch of them line up and somebody else kick a ball through the people lined up. Whatever, Portugal won. Just think of all the trouble they could have saved if they did that end bit first. Get the winner declared after two minutes and then two hours for drinking beer/tea, which sounds a lot better to me.

American football is even worse. And due to the rules, one game can drag on for hours.

Yeah, I get it. Just like painting is simply a bunch of paint on a canvas. I saw one, then another, and they looked the same. And music is just the same notes rearranged in different patterns, right? Yeah, I heard a song before, then I heard another one. It was just the same notes all over again. And books? Oh, man. Don’t get me started on books. You know there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, right? And all books in English contain different combinations of the same 26 letters? Yeah, I’m totally with you on this.

SOUNDS AMAZING!! I HOPE YOU CAN HEAR ME OVER THE MUSIC!

It's the fact that 90% of people DO enjoy this that makes me sad for the world.

This should be its own thread.

I am not a fan of the Christmas. It's too much pressure, particularly in having to travel to visit family. Halloween is where it's at.

This deserves more votes. It’s pretty profound, if you think about it.

I just want to read an article! I don't want to have to create an account, give you all of my personal info, phone number and email so you can spam me infinitely, give you my first born and a leg of my turkey from Thanksgiving dinner! JUST THE ARTICLE!

I don't like the taste of alcohol and just thought people forced themselves to drink alcohol (and coffee) until they learned to like it. I had an epiphany in my 20s that I did not need to continue drinking to try to fit in.

That's not necessarily true. I'm an atheist, but some people genuinely enjoy religion. It gives people a community to be with and something to believe in. Same with other places of religious worship. Things can be taken too far, and that's where this is true.

Trust, if I don't want to be around you, I can ignore you so hard you'll begin to doubt your own existance!

To you.

To me, Coldplay is a band created to make music for car commercials. And that's okay, their songs make excellent music for car commercials.

I love pants. Skirts are drafty and my thighs rub together all the time

I don’t like the particular kind of jazz that jumps all over the place; it gets on my nerves. Give me blues instead.

I love my quiet time alone more than most things LOL

Fair. I love my kids, but occasionally I pray for temporary deafness; the riddler on 'coke-aine'* asks fewer questions. *For the poorly-trained sensor bot.

Self-service….that way, you always get what you want. 😏

And, oh look, patriotism is on the rise all over the place. The outlook is NOT great.

No pretending here, you're tip-top!

I did an Alpine Valley WI Grateful Dead show in the late 1980s. Two days on, a day off and two days on. Oh that was a crazy wonderful experience. We got pulled over on the way home, by WI state police. They are N-P*o dudes and you pay or are jailed. Rachel was driving my car, we had 5 people in a Nissan Pulsar and the cop needed my permission to search. He opened the trunk and I looked at him and said "If you are going to take that all out to search it, then you have to fit it all back in." No search, they let us go. Rachel paid the fine, she was driving so it was all on her, even though it was my car.

Thats not necessary true. You just have to find the right type of work that you enjoy. I work in a kindergarten and I love it.

I've got a theory that it was exactly this sound that hit the nerve of the era. The soundtrack of having no idea how the present situation should turn out in the future.

As an adult, I find ensuring the ground is adequately distanced from my body with reliable padding in a sleeping bag. It is getting out of and upright that has become the challenge of a lifetime.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope you find some little cracks of light soon.

For me BP is one of those "is what it is" places. I like the smaller and often quirky user base to interact with but it is still mostly just when I'm bored. And, "anyone can write on BP". I found this specifically looking for user submissions and not recycled content. Have a great day. 😊
