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.

Mods, please change thread title to "I don't like other people's preferred means of need satisfaction."

get bored when not working or when they retire. also, work to feel important, useful or needed.

NPR (not sure if normal people listen, but people always tell me about some crap they heard on NPR and its always insanely boring)

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

Kids
Going to Costco
House Cleaning
Watching TV without a computer in front of you.. boring.

Also this thread is like a checklist of stuff I like. And I'm totally a weirdo.

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

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.

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.

leaving garage doors open

buying a house with a garage (or two) and then filling it with so much crap that you can't even fit your car in to it.
