Haha, love your lists!
I might be able to shed some light, if you wish? Or I might end up opining. You never can quite tell!
Thank you for the detailed comment! Now I shall comment on your comment.
1. Red Bull
I never understood this, but back in the day I enjoyed the fruity taste paired with a nice vodka.
Alas, I do not like vodka either.
2. Leggings
This fashion look works for some women. But your butt must always be covered. Long shirts, dresses, or whatever, but past the butt and preferably within a few inches of the knee, as to look somewhat demure and appropriate. I do enjoy leggings and teeshirts in the comfort of my own home. It’s like your college sweat pants or hoodie, looks fug, but oh so comfy!
I keep trying to convince myself that they must be comfy/versatile/whatever. But I cannot do it.
3. Doggy bags (in which one carries leftover food)
I never get these. I clean my plate, even of gigantic-restaurant-sized portions!
Yes, I admit to cleaning my plate often. But I also hate leftovers.
4. Doggy bags (in which one carries miniature canines)
I would implore you to do a study to investigate whether or not the proportion of individuals carrying doggy bags are also wearing leggings and non-butt-covering tops.
HA!
5. Electric toothbrushes
I don’t know.
6. Crocs
These make my eyes burn.
7. Orlando Bloom
He is hot. But different strokes for different folks? (Really bad punny)
8. Spray tans
Jersey Shore is all the rage.
9. Kedollarsignha
I will now start calling her Kedollarsignha, thank you!
10. Water/soda/iced tea with lemon
I like water with lemon for the added flavor. But soda with lemon?
My husband likes lemon with his Diet Coke. I saw EW.
11. Iced tea
It’s a summer staple for many, like the watermelon!
Let’s add watermelon to the list!
12. Jorts & 13. RaNdom cAPitaLizaTIon
Because some people are stuck in the 90′s? HAHA!
14. Turkey burgers
A healthier alternative to beef, especially when you enjoy indulging in burgers multiple times a week. Like I’ve done in the past!
15. LeBron James
DSM IV TR Code 301.81
Good call.
16. The Bachelorette
???
17. Miracle Whip
Pre-soy allergy, I always had to have some MW with my turkey sandwiches post-Thanksgiving dinner. It just gives it a bit of tang, I love!
18. Replacing “you” with “u” and “are” with “r”
It’s convenient for 400 characters (or less!) texting, but when writing emails or a formal document, it is the hugest faux pas.
19. Swimming pools
I would rather be in a pool than die a slow, painful death from drowing in seaweed!
But so much pee! And saliva! And skin cells! YICK.
20. Saying “no problem”
What’s your preference?
“You’re welcome!” or “My pleasure!”
21. Michelob Ultra
Nast. Microbrew beer is delish!
22. Tofu
It is a pretty good food item, unfortch, I am totally allergic. But it’s tasty when prepared well. Or fried. Frying makes everything better!
23. Soccer (aka “football”)
I thank 7 pound 14 ounce baby Jesus that the world cup is once every 4 years. I do not understand.
24. The Biggest Loser
It’s inspirational!
I’m not gonna lie… when I HAVE watched it (once or twice) it has made me all teary.
25. Trader Joe’s
It’s cheaper than Whole Foods! But I still do my local chain grocer because that’s cheaper than TJ and WF, but not as cheap as WalMart!
I get that it’s cheaper… and lord knows I steer clear of Whole Foods… but some people just SWEAR by it, and I don’t understand why.
Ooh, good list! Minus leggings, which I LOVE and Trader Joe’s, I’m right there with ya on most things!
Gotta respond, too. If it’s not included, I agree with you.
2. Leggings
I do love them under short dresses and flowy tops. Allows me to hit the golden balance between the designer ‘look’ and comfort
3. Doggy bags (in which one carries leftover food)
I am a grazer. My stomach is small. I usually only eat half my serving in a restaurant and I don’t mind leftovers.
5. Electric toothbrushes
Sonic toothbrush rocks. Gets my teeth smoother and happier than anything else.
6. Crocs
I have a pair with the fuzzy interior that I wear as house slippers. My orthotics fit in them and they make me happy. HOWEVER, NOT to be worn as part of a regular outfit. Only good for home or gym.
7. Orlando Bloom
I’ve always had a thing for elves.
9. Kedollarsignha
No idea what that is!
10. Water/soda/iced tea with lemon
Hot water with lemon (even weirder, but I love it)
18. Replacing “you” with “u” and “are” with “r”
Never understood this until IM’ing became more common at work, then it began to make sense for speed. I usually resist though, because it drives me a little crazy. “b” instead of “be” barely even saves time…
19. Swimming pools
Grew up living at the public pool down the street. Great for kids, haven’t used much as an adult.
20. Saying “no problem”
Guilty.
22. Tofu
Learned from my Korean husband to just let it be what it is. Tofu is gross when you use it instead of meat. If you are having Asian food, you can take a cake of extra firm tofu, microwave for one minute, slice into 1/4 x 1/2 inch sections, drizzle with soy sauce/sesame oil/red pepper flakes/sesame seeds/sliced scallions and enjoy.
23. Soccer (aka “football”)
I think you need to have played it to enjoy watching it. Too boring if you haven’t.
25. Trader Joe’s
I use them for sliced almonds, Zbars and a few other things. I don’t understand the fierce loyalty either.
Hilarious. I totally agree with you on Random Capitalizations, Jorts (yuck!), Spray Tans and pretty much the rest of your list … but I love leggings! They are super comfortable and stretchy — key for bloated days or when the dryer shrinks your dress. Have you heard of “jeggings”?! Leggings that look like jeans — ha! I have like 2 pairs… please don’t hate me.
What is Kedollarsignha? I must know! If it inspires hatred, I need to know!! And I don’t get Trader’s Joe either. The serving sizes are tiny, the parking lot is tiny, and nothing is labeled gluten-free. It’s too hard for me.
Apparently electric toothbrushes are WAY better than normal toothbrushes… totally agree on Crocs… I say “no problem” all the time… love iced tea… do the “ur” thang all the time on Twitter (damn you Twitter!)… please PLEASE make the Bachelorette stop!
oh you mean the singer Ke$sha? I don’t get that either. Don’t pronounce it Casha or something like that? I agree on several of these, with the exception of iced tea
I’m with you on Red Bull, jorts, Cros, random capitalization and text speak, but I cannot get behind the TJ’s un lovin. I don’t do my normal grocery shopping there as I find their produce pretty meh, but their grains (steel-cut oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, quinoa) are awesome and cheaper than the supermarket, they have tons of nuts and I love their hummus. Oh, and the veggie masala burgers. These taste like spicy potato cakes. Heart them.
And have you ever had deep-fried tofu? Oh man, I know the deep frying defeats the purpose of that stuff being healthy, but it is seriously delish, especially in Thai food. When I’m being healthy, I ask the restaurant folks to steam my tofu. So not the same.
I love when you do these because I feel all fiesty. Like I need to personally defend the power of Red Bull or something. Here is my counter…
1. Red Bull — HELLO. Without Red Bull, there is no heart attack in a glass, also known as a vodka red bull. Which is sad.
2. Leggings — Only like them if worn under a dress or skirt in the winter. Maybe I actually only like tights…
5. Electric toothbrushes — Do not diss. This is how I avoid cavities.
6. Crocs — Ok. I only own a pair because Adam got me pink ones for Valentines Day AND I only wear them to garden. (sigh) But I am aware they are ugly.
17. Miracle Whip — TOTALLY AGREE. Shit is weird. Eat Mayo you fools.
19. Swimming pools — You have obviously never lived somewhere evil hot. Or if you did and still don’t like swimming pools… then you obviously are an alien.
22. Tofu – Tasty!
25. Trader Joe’s — My lunches and breakfast at work all came from TJ’s. I am a convert, but really only for their lunch items…
GIVE ME MORE LISTS OF THINGS YOU HATE! It’s weird how much I love these things…
You make me giggle.
I’m glad I can unleash the feisty Ashley!
Well, though I have to admit that I LOVE swimming pools… because exercise doesn’t feel like exercise when you’re swimming laps. And it feels all kinds of good in the middle of freaking hot summer in Texas.
But I have to agree on some things- like Red Bull. Or any energy drink. Ugh. Gross.
Replacing you with “u” and are with “r”… I loathe this practice.
The Bachelorette. Blegh.
And many more. But swimming pools, and, also, electric toothbrushes… those I do love.
Okay, I’m so joining in on the fun, too:
1. Red Bull – totally. disgusting.
2. Leggings – if I don’t feel confident in shorts, there’s no way in hell anyone will catch me in leggings.
3. Doggy bags (in which one carries leftover food) – coming from the person who never even leaves any food on her plate…not so much
4. Doggy bags (in which one carries miniature canines) – ie: Paris Hilton
5. Electric toothbrushes – i pretend i get an arm workout by brushing the old school way
6. Crocs – hellllll no. i always want my feet to look smaller, not like clown feet
7. Orlando Bloom – meh. i don’t know. sometimes? maybe if he’s naked?
8. Spray tans – okay, i actually dig this one. i’ve done the professional ones a couple of times and the last time was when I was pregnant and pale and going to a wedding. I was desperate.
9. Kedollarsignha – bahahaha. this cracks me up.
10. Water/soda/iced tea with lemon – i like lemon in my water. it looks prettier than it tastes, though.
11. Iced tea – ya, it’s nasty.
12. Jorts – does that mean…jogging shorts? jean shorts? I’m against both.
13. RaNdom cAPitaLizaTIon – ughghgh i hate this too. people look like they’re 12 when they do this.
14. Turkey burgers – love ‘em. and chicken burgers and buffalo burgers, too.
15. LeBron James – lebron who? seriously, I don’t even know who he is. i’ve only heard his name b/c Kelly Ripa mentioned him once on LIVE!
16. The Bachelorette – totally addicted. what can I say, I love a fairy tale. you could probably guess why at this moment in my life. heh.
17. Miracle Whip – love. hate hellman’s. which, ironically is my maiden name. only with one l. THAT was fun growing up.
18. Replacing “you” with “u” and “are” with “r” – again. 12.
19. Swimming pools – love. want one. so bad.
20. Saying “no problem” – um, hm. I guess I don’t have an opinion on this one. I know, WHAAAAT?
21. Michelob Ultra – I’m a coors light fan
22. Tofu – barf
23. Soccer (aka “football”) – that’s a sport right? I don’t do sports.
24. The Biggest Loser – i’m a fan. but only of the finale, really.
25. Trader Joe’s – I’ve never been, but you’re right, people are totally obsessed. so I have to find this out for myself. have you been? did you hate it?
Well, that was fun
You’re too funny!
It’s also funny that you wrote this list because I was just thinking about how much I LOVE red bull… hahaha… I don’t know what it is but yummmmo
And the bachelorette is my guilty pleasure so again, I guess I can’t agree with you there!!
Other than that… you’re right on the money
I hear you … BUT
I LOVE water with lemon
and
yup – I love TOFU.
oxoxo
Denalee
Let’s talk about how I JUST NOW realized what “kedollarsignha” is. I have read this post twice, and the comments twice, and it all just clicked together. Wow. I am so not with the times. Or I am, but I’m slow.
What the hell is a “jort?”
I agree with all of them except turkey burgers (YUM!) and Mich Ultra-if you’re pounding beers, ya gotta drink the ones with less calories.
All the other stuff is crap (IMO). 
And freaking Ke$ha-wtf is that, I mean really?
HOLD UP. You do not like swimming pools?!?!?! How can you not like delighting in water free from dirt and fish and slimy mysterious things (and god knows what else?) on the bottom?!?!?! And Miracle Whip is delicious.
Friendship severed.
Not really. I might take you back. Given that I, too, can’t stand Michelob Ultra. What is it, the Gatorade of Beer? Come on, Armstrong. You don’t get off your bike and grab a beer. (Unless that’s why he sucked it up this year in France. But that’s unlikely.)
The Gatorade of Beer! HA! Love it.
And I never said I ENJOY oceans or lakes or other such things. Ew. Fish and potential dead bodies? No thank you. But pools aren’t models of cleanliness my dear!!!
So long as I can see the bottom I am cool, so that leaves precious few places for me to swim that aren’t pools! I know all about the bad things in pools. As recently as last summer I peed in one! But we were locked out of the clubhouse of the swanky apartments we snuck into to use their super awesome pool on 4th of July and the management was watching us, because they said they thought our friend who used to live there had moved out (he had) which was why it was so awkward to keep asking people to let us into the clubhouse because we “forgot” our key. So it was justified. Or not. Whatever.
I’m watching The Bachelorette RIGHT now.
I can’t explain it. And Futbol! What? Q and I could totally get you to like soccer!!!! 
If you are people who live it and breathe it…like us, WELL, it is SUPER FuN – errrrr, had to do that to you! Do you just “not get it” or do you not like people who like all those things???
Oh no I just don’t “get it.” I adore you obviously, so clearly I cannot hate those who like these things. It’s like the fish tacos – for YEARS I was all, “no way will I ever eat those.” But now I love them. Because I “get them.”
I have no doubt that you and Q could change my mind about soccer.
I was with you until swimming pools. Then you lost me!
3. Doggy bags (in which one carries leftover food) – do you just not want to deal with the leftovers or what?
5. Electric toothbrushes
6. Crocs – these are actually really comfy. Have you tried them?
11. Iced tea – growing up in Texas, you would think I would like this one, but I’m with you. I think it’s gross.
15. LeBron James – I did NOT get the whole hubbub with this guy. What is the point?
16. The Bachelorette – I have to admit; I’m kind of addicted to this one as of late.
19. Swimming pools – I love these. I need one. I need to remember that my apartment complex has one. I never go.
25. Trader Joe’s – Oh my gosh. $3 wine? I’m so there.
I don’t get a lot of those things either, but I do love doggy bags (for food). Although, we call them “To Go” containers. I love having leftover food from a restaurant as a snack or lunch the next day.
I’m also guilty of saying “No Problem” alot each day. In my line of work, I talk on the phone a lot and the other person usually says Thank You. I always feel weird saying You’re Welcome, so I say No Problem. Hope that’s not rude! lol
I think we’re the same person……
I was going to write a hilariously funny post about Kedollarsignha and how I have absolutely no idea what it is, but there’s only 8 minutes until lunch and I can’t focus over the massive hunger in my tummy.
Oh, I’m hungry.
Pools are clean! They have chlorine in them that kill bacteria. People regularly test the pH levels of the pool and make sure they are clean. So clean!
I just realized while thinking about how weird it is that you don’t like pools, that I hate baths. I don’t like to soak in my own dirt. So maybe I get it a little bit. But bathtubs don’t have chlorine in them, and pools do, so I still win this argument (that I’m having with myself).
Is it bad that I don’t know who Kedollarsignha is??
And I was so anti-Bachelorette until EVERYONE in my office started watching…now I’m hooked on it like crack. And yes, I’m aware that it’s pathetic.
All you have made me do with this list is wish I were at a backyard pool, with a beer, a turkey burger and water with lemon.
I can’t get behind the swimming pool dislike. Having spent about..oh..80 million hours in a pool as a swimmer/lifeguard/coach/instructor, the swimming pool is like my safe haven. Especially since I know how much effort and regulation there is in keeping pools clean. You shouldn’t dislike them. They’re really not dirty!
Trader Joe’s Seriously? Come on who doesn’t like Trader Joe’s?
Finally getting back into blogging again, excited to be back reading your blog – you seriously make me laugh out loud!
Okay I am with you on almost all of them. I hate redbull, can’t stand soccer and have no idea why you have to have an electric toothbrush. Does one not have enough manpower to brush the teeth themselves!
I Love your blog! I am a new follower and so glad I found it! So cute and fun! Hope you have a fabulous day! Come and visit if you eve want some good recipes or maybe a fun giveaway to enter!
XOXO
jessica
P.S. I meant i subscribe now not a follower- although i would sign up to be if given the option! LOL!
Ok, so I love iced tea and swimming pools… but I am with you on almost ALL the rest! I think we may have been separated at birth.
I love my electric toothbrush, but the first time I used one, I hated it and didn’t touch another one again for over five years. The key is buying a good one. I read somewhere that 4 our of 5 people have some form of gum disease…and I know it sounds weird, but my mouth hasn’t been healthier/better since I started using my Sonicare toothbrush.
I like Biggest Loser because I think it is inspirational…and I find it refreshing to see people push themselves to become a better version on themselves vs. all the other reality shows that feature people getting drunk, whining & complaining about their friends/boyfriends, etc.
I will hang my head, and admit, I send text messages with with r and/or u in place of are and you…but in my defense! I have to! I can’t send text message over 160 characters long.
Miracle Whip is tacky.
The. End.
I also do not get Trader Joes. I’m a Whole Foods girl.
hmmm so I’m a little late but oh well.
I can agree with some, but not all. That’s the beauty in what makes us all individuals right? Rrrright.
Jorts? I hate shorts. HATE. Even if they are made out of my favorite fabric for my lower body.
Michelob Ultra. Yucksljdkfyjgrrossss. I’m a Bud Select gal. Must come from being in the mid west. Sadly, I hardly find it here so I’ve had to settle for Miller Light. Which to me is almost just as bad as Michelob Ultra. Ahhh the poor life
Tofu. Can’t understand it. I guess if I wasn’t so in love with red meat I may feel differently. I’ve had it fried once. It wasn’t bad but I feel it defeats the purpose when you fry something like that.
TJ’s – Went in my first one a few weeks back. Felt overwhelmed by the amount of people in there in that small of a space. And I walked out with dried apricots, which I admit were cheaper than the regular grocery store but still. Can’t decide if I’ll ever forgo that place again.
Okay, I realize you wrote this post two weeks ago, but I just have to tell you how much I love it. I agree with so many of the things on this list!
Miracle Whip is revolting. Red Bull tastes like urine, but for some reason I can tolerate a splash of the sugar free in my vodka. Kesha sucks. Orlando Bloom just doesn’t do it for me. And Jorts are sad.
However, i love lemon in my Diet Coke. And I always bring food home from restaurants – I never finish my food and I love leftovers. And swimming pools are my happy place.
I hope you don’t mind, but I’d love to do a similar post on my blog – with credit to you for the awesome inspiration of course!
