Your unpopular opinions and creepy admissions

I think "Last Christmas" is a great song and that George Michael is severely underrated. "Freedom '90" is one of my all-time favorite songs (and videos).

 

Where do I start?

I’m a damn weirdo, largely because so many of the things society tells me to like I can’t stand.

I really dislike:
Live music/concerts (except for jazz clubs)
Live theatre. Same damn script every time.
Sit-down restaurants
Festivals/parades
Coffee
Going out for movies unless gf and I are the only ones in the back row.
Most streaming/network shows.
Expensive clothing or cars as I’ll worry about spilling sauce or denting them.

I really enjoy:
Airports. Even unexpected delays. I enjoy the world of airports.
Long, solo road trips. Just me, podcasts and the road.
Eating free hotel breakfasts on these road trips even though I’m just passing through and never was a guest. Breakfast free is twice as tasty as breakfast bought.
Walking or running at night, when it’s dark.
Taco Bell, Aldi and all of the places that people never admit they shop or eat at.
Used cars that I pay off. I always park a long distance at busy stores so that I don’t hit/get hit by someone backing out.
Scummy parts of cities.

 

I'm all for the legalization of weed, but I hate smelling it in public.

 

I’m all for the popularity of edibles so I don’t have to smell skunk spray at concerts.

 

Yes on George Michael.

I was anchoring the day after he died — rewrote a lot of the leads I encountered. He just so much more than the guy from Wham! and the guy arrested in a park bathroom.

 

The version my daughter made up when she was eight is now canon here.

Last Christmas
I gave you my cow
But the very next day
You turned it to steak
This year
To save it from tears
I’ll give it to someone vegan

 

My buddy is a garbage man ... and he's also a tinkerer, so he finds stuff people are tossing out (that isn't bagged and in the can...he's not digging in the trash LOL) and he re-invents them into a bunch of cool stuff. He even made a cider press out of scrap he found and presses his own apples and make barrel-aged hard cider.

 

Yes, this is one of the best songs and videos ever made.

 

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" is the Die Hard of Christmas songs.

It was fine when it came out, but is severely overrated for the amount of attention it gets at the holiday season. And the fact everyone has to be edgy by posting things about both and how it defines Christmas for them is the worst. I don't need thousands of Mariah memes at Christmas. The song needs to go back to the 90s. It's overrated, overplayed and needs to be over. Conversely, I get it: Die Hard is set at Christmas. I don't need every dipshit going out of their way to call it a Christmas movie. There's those who agree and there's those who couldn't give two shits. It's reached War on Christmas status. If you think it's a Christmas move, cool. Leave the rest of us alone with it. And, for the love of God, turn off Mariah.

 

I hated Mariah Carey since she first pierced eardrums. And then she became a professional celebrity.

 

Vapes over pre-rolls or homemade joints.

Prove me wrong.

 

Not to turn this all Christmas music - but I've never enjoyed Andy Williams songs. Moon River? His Christmas stuff? The Love Story theme? Way too soft. I like a little edge. Holly, Jolly Christmas with Burl Ives? Yes.
Also agree on George Michael. Faith, Freedom '90, Careless Whisper - damn solid. At work I'll put Freedom '90 on an extended mix when I feel like I'm slowing down.
