Recently, redditoru/ancientinfamyasked ther/AskRedditcommunity tosharethe things they’re sick of people trying to convince them are great.
Here are a few of their controversial takes.
“Trying to turn my hobby into a business.
I crochet for fun because it relaxes me.
A blanket might take me two weeks or five years.
A small stuffed animal may take me 24 hours or a month.
I do it for me, not to make money or hustle.”

As for sleeping at night, don’t get me started.
“Stanley mugs.”
The parents want it, not the kid.
Goes for just about every fad.
My $13 Walmart insulated cup also keeps stuff cold for hours and hot drinks hot."

4.“Running.
I am happy that some enjoy it, but I don’t.
It’s not like I did not try running; it’s just not great for me.
I find other sports activities more enjoyable.”
“Quitting the corporate world to start a business.
I like my little peaceful job.

“Its nice to be truly off the clock when you leave.
My dad owns an 11-employee small business, and it is all-consuming.”

I’m getting married soon and am really sick of people telling me I ‘want a real wedding.’
I don’t want a $10k+ wedding.
We want to go to the courthouse and have a party later.
The number of people telling me I will regret not having a big wedding is wild.
Whether we spend $100 or $30k, we love each other the same.
I WANT A COURTHOUSE WEDDING, DAMMIT.”
7.“Kombucha.
I’m sure it’s greatforme, but it tastes like carbonated sock tea.”
u/jcgreen_72
“Kombucha is one of the worst drinks I’ve ever tasted, right next to IPAs.
It literally just tastes like carbonated vinegar.”
u/ItsTimeDrFreeman

“Ice baths.”
“To become a manager.
I’ve done that and hated every second of the stress.
My job right now is enjoyable.
No stress after hours, outside of the occasional ‘Shit, I forgot to do XYZ.’
u/TheBurgTheWord
10.“Cruises.
I’m never going to want to cruise on a commercial cruise line.”
I don’t need further validation or understanding of this ‘life experience.’
I don’t need clarification or reminders of your beautiful struggles, either.”
u/BarrelProofWiskey
12.“Drinking.
I work in a restaurant.
13.“Dancing.
None of them listen to the reason I give.
They think it’s total BS.
I just don’t feel music like that.
It is something I can feel deeply.
It can change my mood.
It never, ever makes me feel like dancing.
I am happy to watch everyone have a good time.
You do your thing, and I’ll do mine.”
u/zizics
14.“TikTok.”
15.“AI.”
I think it’s for marketing or competitive positioning purposes.
Calling something AI doesn’t make it AI.”

“Foods made out of cauliflower.
It tastes just like the real thing!'
Yes, I have, and they all suck.
STOP with the cauliflower.”
17.“Dogs.
I was not raised around them, and I do not have a lifestyle that is conducive to them.
I find them overwhelming and, frankly, a little smelly, albeit cute.
Let me be a cat person in peace.”
u/Grimedog22
18.“Coffee.
They can keep that bitter shit.”
u/bubba4fun
20.
“Crocs everyone loves them.”
21.“Dating.
Like, what is wrong about feeling OK being single?
I met my partner without trying to find someone.

“Apps for fast-food places.
Not everything needs its own app.
And the food isn’t even worth the discount without the hassle.”
