    I can't stand ballet. I find it boring. But I'm not going to tell somebody who loves ballet "ballet is boring" because I know that's not objectively true, it's just that for whatever reason I can't get into it. If I say "I haven't enjoyed the ballets I have seen" there's not much arguing, except the person might say "well, have you tried x?" If somebody tells me they haven't enjoyed opera I would suggest they try the English version of Die Fledermaus, which is hysterically funny and very accessible, or Carmen, which is sex, violence, and an over-the-top pot boiler.
    This is how the conversation usually goes...

    Me: I know everyone likes The Wire but I honestly tried watching it and I never got into it...I can see why people like it but it just isnt my thing.
    Wire Fan: You obviously have zero taste! You dont get why [insert name here] is the greatest character in modern tv history?!?!? The writers are so far above you that you just dont get it!
    Me: No...I get it and like I said I understand why people love it, I just dont.
    Wire: Who do you think you are?!?! Critics agree it is the best show of all time? But not you, cause you are like so much better?
    Me: Nope.
    Wire: What do you watch...I bet it sucks!!!
    Me: And we are done...

    There is lots of things I dont like but I respect. That isnt good enough for fans of certain things though. For years I couldnt stand Led Zepplin...the amount of crap I took for that from everyone and their mother was insane. I still do because I cant stand The Doors. Hell...I get crap because I dont play Fantasy Football and find NFL football boring nowadays. (and if I dare mention liking basketball every hockey snob goes bleeping nuts!!!) Fans of certain groups, movies, sports and TV shows just are too deep into it. Me, if I am entertained great if not oh well I hope you were!

          I like Rush, in moderation. I have no problem acknowledging they are a music nerd's band, though. That's why their concert audiences look like a Michigan Tech house party.

              Minus 2 or 3 songs, I agree.

                          Reddit. It's good for information for certain things, match day threads in r/MLS and new set info in r/magictcg, but holy **** can the people discussing things be any more annoying?

                              When grocery stores rearrange where they keep things for no apparent reason.

                              When a perfectly fine website gets a re-design that makes it worse than before. We have to go to a supplier's website to download a document to provide to customers. Find it, click "print to PDF," done. Now my link to that spot doesn't work; the place to find it isn't where you'd expect, and then you cannot print to PDF but if you just print the screen you get those annoying extra lines that let everyone know you are printing from a screen view.

                                I'll take it a step further. Website redesigns in general. They peaked just before flash and java took off. Now every single one seems to make the website progressively worse.
