Stupid things only!

How other people cook their steak.

I mean, unless they're serving it to me. Though I'd still be polite (if a bit sad) if someone served me a well done steak.

I agree. I don't gaf how anyone else likes their own damn steak cooked or if they eat it with sauce or not.

I know! Why the fuck do chefs scorn well-done steak?!

I'm conflicted, because of course I don't really have a problem with it, but I do kind of want to mock the president about it

Whether or not someone likes or wants kids.

LOL yes.

Sports. I'll never understand the whole rioting because our team won/lost a game, and even less the beating up/killing someone because they are fans of the "wrong" team.

IA that people get too worked up about it, but it's usually because sports team loyalties are a stand-in for some other kind of identity or loyalty - whether it's ethnic, or regional, or political - or some other, underlying issue.

To quote CLR James: " I am equally certain that in those years social and political passions, denied normal outlets, expressed themselves so fiercely in cricket (and other games) precisely because they were games... The British tradition soaked deep into me was that when you entered the sporting arena you left behind you the sordid compromises of everyday existence. Yet for us to do that we would have had to divest ourselves of our skins... Nor could the local population see it otherwise. The class and racial rivalries were too intense. They could be fought out without violence or much lost except pride and honour. Thus the cricket field was a stage on which selected individuals played representative roles which were charged with social significance."

YOU WILL SUFFER HUMILIATION WHEN THE SPORTS TEAM FROM MY AREA DEFEATS THE SPORTS TEAM FROM YOUR AREA

Ships.

In either meaning of the word, probably.

Going by the secrets this past week, Harry Potter... ALWAYS.

Adam Driver's looks.

People saying "Happy Holidays."

It's not "too politically correct" to say Happy Holidays. If anything, it's "too politically correct" to get offended over a term no one complained about until fundamentalists randomly decided it was offensive.

When I Was A Kid... 'Happy Holidays' meant 'have a good holiday from the period between Thanksgiving and New Years since they are all lumped really close together'

Also, how other people celebrate Christmas (or don't).

100% agreement. People who get offended by "Happy Holidays" are desperately searching for something to be offended by and they're not smart enough to realize they're being manipulated into thinking that a greeting meant to cover all the various holidays from Thanksgiving through New Year's isn't a mortal insult.

What kind of music other people listen to.

Other people's diets.

Other people's phones.

Who tops or bottoms in a ship.

The other day, a girl at work asked me my opinion on Baby It's Cold Outside, and then when I said that personally I found it creepy, she and another woman proceeded to act like I was trying to Take Everything Away From Them. Literally one of them accused people (like me) of Ruining Everything.

I get that some people get too worked up about Baby It's Cold Outside. But there are also a lot of people who get way too worked up about people disliking Baby It's Cold Outside.

But but, Rudolph!

How coffee is made. I like coffee that tastes good and I've definitely had bad coffee, but I've never found that the method of making it makes such a huge difference and people who fight over it like it's a religion are really annoying.
