Foods I Don't Like & Pet Peeves
We all have pet peeves and things we don't like. I'm the same way. One of the most despised things in my life is tomatoes - I hate them. You would figure that after farming them as a child, I'd have some appreciation for them, but I don't. They are slimy. I do not like the way they taste or fell in my mouth. Even their seeds can ruin a burger for me. I like ketchup and tomato sauce because they aren't the raw tomatoes. I'm iffy on salsa.
Cucumbers are not enjoyable to me either, but I can tolerate them if I have to eat them. Yes, my salads may be a bit plain, but that's fine with me. Give me lettuce, a little cheese, and throw in some dressing and I'll be fine. I do like pickles, though, but not directly on a burger.
I also don't particularly care for cantaloupe, grapefruit or spicy foods. I don't enjoy sweating while I eat. Hell, I'm not real sure I enjoy sweating ever, to be honest. Nashville may be known for hot chicken, but I wouldn't know, because I ain't eating none of that shit!
Guacamole used to be another food I didn't like but as I've gotten older I've learned to enjoy it. It started with me eating pieces of avocado in my sushi. Over time it has developed into a mild want for guacamole, especially if it's home made, on my Mexican foods. Speaking of Mexican, I have a hard time stomaching Taco Bell's "beef" if that's what you want to call it. It tastes like wood pulp half the time. The other half it tastes greasy and bland. It is Taco Bell, after all.
Beer is a good thing, but there's nothing worse than bad beer. I'm not a fan of American beers like Bud, Bud Lite, Miller Light, etc, but what I really don't like is a beer that is high in hops. I discovered several years ago when i was brewing my own beer that I didn't like hops, and I prefer wheat or witbiers. I'll drink just about anything - I'm not a snob, but between you and me, I don't like them. That said, I like Blue Moon and Shock Top as well as many German beers.
My greatest pet peeve is bad drivers. I lose my cool. If you are on your mobile phone, I lose my shit. My biggest gripe is people who are trying to beat the system or get ahead by driving in the median when there's a line of traffic. I want rip their head off and piss down their throat. And then there's the driver who, when in traffic and they know another ane has to merge, won't let you over. I'm still steamed over the broad in the SUV who did that to me on I-40 East last week.
And while we're on the subject - I also can't stand Ashley's back seat driving. She's not the world's greatest driver, but you'd think she was super safety girl when she rides with me. It makes me not want to drive and for years before Liam was born, I opted to just let her drive. We would joke that I must've had my license revoked. Luckily she's better than my mother's driving. I think she has her own blog dedicated to her driving deficiencies though.
Jeans that are too tight are another pisser. Same for shirts. These usually go hand in hand after I've gained a few pounds. Nothing like a shirt on a 300 pound man that looks like skin in a weinie. And skinny pants on dudes. I'll just expand this to hipsters. Yup, they've ruined my vision of Nashville. Keep you PBRs guys (see above rant on bad beer).
I also hate politicians, especially the far-right and far-left ones. I can't stand political discussions on Facebook because everyone believes they are the smartest person in the world.I take a combative role, regardless of whether I support it. Why not? Stir the pot! Make them hate me for a belief I may not even have!
Other things I don't like are typing errors, of which I have many and animal abusers. I also don't like UConn, Georgia, Alabama, or Florida fans. I put them in the same category with animal absuers and terrorists. It comes with the territory when you graduated from Tennessee and live in the middle of the state.. Go Vols!
