Rush. The band. Almost nobody in my high school liked them. In the 80s even.

Polyamory. I knew a lot of people didn't understand, but the visceral disgust at the idea that a lot of people have is surprising.

I just don’t get it. Having a relationship with one person is hard work (anyone that says otherwise is either very lucky or their partner is making all the effort). Why on earth would you want to make your life even more difficult?

Is it really surprising? Monogamy has been essentially socially enforced for millenia at this point.

The Last Jedi.

I left the theater on opening night thrilled with what I saw. I couldn't wait to go online and read all the positive reactions and theories for the next one... Whelp.

What really surprised me is learning how much people hate it when I drink tonic water. I'm not going to spit it directly in your mouth, friendo. I just want a drink of interesting water.

I was surprised to find out that Patchy the Pirate is pretty hated, which is what inspired this thread.

Sunny weather. Living in Ireland, the sun is ALWAYS a welcome respite from the constant dull rainy shite.

In line with the inspiration for the question: Cars 2

I liked the first one and thought the second one was also lots of fun. I liked the visuals / in-universe elements, and thought it was decent for a kid's spy movie. It was one of my favourite family movies at the time.

Turns out almost everyone hates it?

Soggy cereal. That's how I ate is as a kid and how my siblings did as well, mostly. No one ever said it was gross or the "wrong" way, until I got a bit older and found out that pretty much everyone hates it.

I can't stand dry cereal lol.

The fries at In-N-Out Burger. I really like them. They actually taste like potatoes, which are delicious.

This was 10+ years ago, but I was surprised by how many Brits hated Top Gear when to me and a lot of other non-Brits it was just the funny British banter car show with the three cartoon characters
