One of my big ones is watching the same movie more than once. DVD/Blueray ownership seems really weird to me.
-
Interest in baseball has always been pretty hard for me to understand.

Agree with both of those.
Hiking is one that I think is strange. Do they think that they are explorers? Everything has been "found" already.

Choosing white bread over wheat, sourdough, rye, or any of the other great sandwich options.

Do normal people actually do these things? This sounds like the medium/low intelligence thread.

people that are really into cars and the car they drive and know a lot about cars and different kind of cars like "oh yeah bmw, that new 310s series is pretty sweet. definately a step up from the 300s but still not enough to get me interested. i almost bought a 350 audi a4 but ended up ultimately settling for the a3. it's ok, but next year i'm going to trade it in for one of the new k series models that they are coming out with this year."

Spend their weekends doing work around the house/running errands. eff that crap, I like to post up on the couch, drink beer, and watch football all weekend.

Just got back from taking my car in for an oil change at the dealer. Guy was like "2010? You're about ready to pick up the 2012! You know they got a new engine in them?" He was half-kidding. While waiting, the salesman asks if I want to test drive one and check out the new engine. I'm like, "bro, you guys are changing my oil at 18K. Do not want."

All office meetings are great for maintaining your mental list of the retards that work with you. Like I always say, if you look around the room and can't figure out who the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) is, it's you.

the premise of this thread is flawed. normal people are easy to understand. you do the same types of things they do for the same underlying reasons. you just have different tastes. all this is about is liking chocolate vs. vanilla. :zzz:

Apple Everything (don't see how its any better than the comparable option that's 1/3 the cost)
The Wire (never saw this show, but people are always talking about it like its awesome, would watch if I didn't have better stuff to do)
Agree completely with Blueray and Hiking

Hiking is great. I'm glad there are people who don't like it so there are fewer dumbasses who insist on petting mountain goats on the trail or something

Here's one that really grinds my gears. When a sports analyst is talking about a quarterback, he/she will undoubtedly say something along these lines: "You know, you got your Brett Favres, your Tom Bradys, your Peyton Mannings, but QB X is great at simply managing the game."
1. Why the eff do they feel the need to pluralize a person's name? This makes me so :curse:
2. "Managing the game" is the most overused, vacuous statement I have ever heard. If you don't average 350 yds/ 3 TDs, then you get this Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) "game manager" label slapped on you, unanimously, by the sports media. Never understood that. Last I checked, Matt Cassell and Mark Sanchez and Kevin Kolb still have QB after their name, not GM. :curse:

He mistook the goEMAW beat writer rankings for an actual thing, not noticing they were solely based on donations. Then he was mad at us for picking on squeaks. Then he was mad about our approach to raising money. I might have egged him on a little.

Yeah, like, sometimes I'll go pop in my There Will Be Blood Blu-Ray and watch the final scene. Maybe I've got 20 minutes to kill and am in the mood to see it.

I only buy certain movies on blu-ray. Seems kinda silly to pay extra for the blu-ray version of The Hangover or whatever.

Blu-ray is almost always an improvement over the DVD version.

Planet Earth Blu Ray was probably the best purchase I ever made.

Came late to this thread but very much on board with this. I used to love buying DVD's until I realized how rough ridin' stupid it was and how many times I actually went back and re-watched a movie. (which minus holiday movies it's pretty much nil unless it's on cable)
Also don't get people who have Blockbuster/Netflix memberships just so they can burn the DVD's and add them to their collection.

Totally makes sense a bunch of Kansans don't like hiking. I wouldn't like it either if I still lived there.

Hiking is fine. Camping...not so much.

Sounds like she needs to Judge up.
wildfratcountry's boss used to take GCCPACat's gun out for his runs with the dogs to shoot attacking coyotes.
-
I mean fairmont park though is the dog park in Manhattan. wow think about that. And Im not sure the judge wouldve been compact enough for walking, would it have gotten the job done, I'll let you be the judge of that.

This thread is confusing. Are you saying that "normal people" do or do not enjoy driving nice cars instead of crappy ones, and do you agree or disagree with this viewpoint?

I read this thread and while I learned much about many of you, I leared more about myself.
