Get ready to wrinkle up your nose as you scroll through this list.
Over on AskReddit, u/blackismyfavcolorlol asked the question:
“What’s that one disgusting thing that everybody except you, seems to like?”
I definitely cringed through some of these answers! What about you? What’s the grossest thing you can think of that other people love?
1. Book Style
YA/Contemporary books that focus on romanticising abuse.
2. Okra
Boiled okra. Okay this is a special.southern answer to this question
3. Stop frying shit
Deep fried butter and deep fried mayonnaise. It sounds so gross but everyone seems to eat it at state fairs or amusement parks.
4. Crappy mobile games
Games designed to be addictive instead of fun to suck money out of you.
(I like my addictive games to be designed to be as fun as possible with a one time upfront payment. Thank you very much)
I could buy 10 absolutely amazing masterpieces I could spend tens of hours with per game and remember them for decades for the price of a bunch of energy and cosmetics in some shitty mobile game with a dev budget lower than the coffee budget of the advertising department.
5. So heavy
Those social media videos of food being made with so much heavy and greasy shit! You know, the type where it’s a whole burger, cooked into a quesadilla with a pound of cheese, then fried and covered in three different sauces.
6. Festy!
‘Funny’ videos of people or animals puking. Some people legit think that’s funny, no it’s fucking festy.
7. Mukbang
Those mukbang videos that have millions of views.
8. Huge burgers
Mega-tall burgers that nobody could actually eat and burgers completely covered in cheese or sauce. If you can’t taste everything in a single bite, your recipe/preparation is wrong. Big burgers should be wider, not taller. You’ve got a big burger offering? Break it down into multiple burgers. Same amount of food. Do you have a shitload of melted cheese to offer? there are better ways than dousing a foot-tall burger in melted cheese if you plan on people to eat it instead of just sharing it on Facebook/TikTok/Instagram.
9. Cake slam
People who slam their friend’s faces into birthday cakes. Just stop.
10. Family vlogging
I’d like to add family vloggers to this, anyone willing to monetise their children through the invasive filming of their lives is absolutely disgusting.
11. Pure narcissism
You know what I think is sick and weird? Why do some people take pictures of their dead/dying family members? Like “at the hospital with my aunt,” and it’s pictures of someone’s aunt on breathing tubes unconscious. It makes no sense to me why you would take pictures and put them on social media.
12. Gross kids
Pictures with babies being gross, like with spaghetti all over their faces and that sort of thing. I do not get the appeal and doubt I ever will.
13. Fake nails
Well, I know I can’t be the only one that finds them disgusting, but long fake nails. Unless you have a serious case of hand-washing OCD, there is no way that can be hygienic.
14. Not cute
Kids acting like brats. My close friend got married recently, and at the rehearsal dinner, the husband’s 4-5 year old nephew wouldn’t stop talking, refused to walk down the aisle (he was the ring bearer), and threw a tantrum when he couldn’t play with his dinosaur toys. The entire time, everybody was laughing like it was the cutest thing on the planet. It’s crazy to me when people think that kind of behavior is funny/adorable.
15. Dog kisses
Kissing dogs on their mouth, or dogs licking their mouth
16. Smoking
Chainsmoker here. And and I can agree that the habit is disgusting
17. Gender reveal parties
“Sure we killed grandma by essentially building a pipe bomb, but at least everyone on the internet knows our baby’s gender.”
18. Febreze
Febreze was originally unscented, but people thought it didn’t work (it does) so they started adding scents to it.
I’m not sure if they still sell unscented Febreze, but it’s a pretty killer product (I’m not shilling, I just work around food and my clothes always stink)
19. Popping videos
Bruh, my grandma is stuck in a vicious cycle of zit popping videos on Facebook. At first she watched one or two, then Facebook kept suggesting more and so she just watched them, now she’s almost exclusively watching zit popping videos for months…
20. Truffles
Truffles. The smell makes my stomach turn. I feel like there has to be some kind of bizarre conspiracy or truffle gatherer lobby or something for them to be so expensive.
