The idea for this popped into my head today listening to coworkers. Let's be civil.
The one thing I cant and could never get into is the fascination with vehicles. I get absolutely zero joy or fun from a vehicle of any kind. It needs to get me from point A to B reliably.
I hate car payments more than Palpatine hates the Jedi. Most people can't afford the payments they currently make.
I don't get the adrenaline rush of hearing a powerful engine, or feeling the power a engine is capable of.
I'll never ever buy a new car again. End rant I guess lol

Star Wars. Jedi is worse than Jetta. lol. So many lame names for hunting gear.
 
I casually follow sports but could not care less about them for the most part. I enjoy going to local sporting events for the local minor league hockey or baseball teams but I don’t spend my weekends off watching football all day or follow any team religiously.

100% pay zero attention to all forms of sports ball and completely zone out if anyone brings it up. If they don't get the hint and they keep talking about their "team" I'll ask what sport that is and then they will shut up about it.

Star Wars?! What! Not even the original ones?? I love the first few. Lots of nostalgia from watching them on betamax with gramps

I like the original trilogy fine, actually.

Though I don't follow the obsession. Like naming a child after lead characters, or your hunting gear design.

To each his or her own though, what makes the world interesting.
 
I basically gave up 95% of my hobbies since I picked up a bow and went into the woods. Still catch some game highlights but generally only follow NFL and NBA during the playoffs.

Things that I cant' stand are baseball and golf, especially can't understand why anyone would WATCH it. I honestly don't consider them sports. My argument is that they are one of the few activities that does not improve your physical health as you do it. For baseball, there is a high rate of enhancement drug usage because you have to do OTHER things to get physically fit to play better. You don't get faster, stronger, etc practicing actual baseball. In an actual game, except for the catcher and pitcher, most are spending half the game watching/waiting for the ball to come to them and the other half SITTING on the bench! How much exercise are you actually getting???? Football, soccer, basetball, hockey, etc, just by playing them you get physically healthier. Golf....yeah, not a sport.

To be fair, you can say the same thing about archery. I consider baseball and archery hobbies. Specialized passions that you do get better as you do it more. But you don't see random pee testing at Lancaster....I think?
 
Sports of any kind but especially professional sports and the celebritization of them. Another unpopular opinion is trophy hunters, when I hear the words “mature buck” it drives me up a wall. I guess another would be fishing, I say it all the time I’d rather sit in a stand all day in the freezing rain and not even hear a bird than go on a garunteed world record fish trip can never wrap my head around the thrill of it.
