Avoiding like the plague...

Watching people get hurt on "Americas Funniest Home Videos"

Right on! I can't stand that show where videos of people getting hurt are supposed to be so funny. I see NOTHING funny about the videos on there, yet the audience yucks it up, (I suppose) on cue. In a fictitious setting, that show could be used to show how the masses can be brain-washed to believe that the pain of others is actually funny, and that harkens back to a terrible time in our not-so-distant past.

You obviously have no idea how to properly prepare/cook tofu. The teeming masses routinely include tofu in their "things I avoid" lists, thus showing their ignorance. I could cook up one of my tofu dishes, and you would not only enjoy it, but you would, almost definitely, be unaware that you just ate tofu in the dish. Truth is, I'm a gourmet vegan chef, but that doesn't mean that anyone couldn't cook up one of my dishes and do it correctly.

Oh, I don't know. We aren't into WWE (use to be WWF) and there was plenty of body slams and such in that. Some people don't like watching NFL due to the hard hits the players take. Same for hockey. There are those that watch rodeo bull riding, knowing there's a big chance the rider could get really hurt.

To a point, we are a society of people that thrive on seeing people do "thrills and spills" and sometimes get seriously injured.

So true. Wife and I comment on that frequently.
 
As for me, I enjoy being around people, why? Because I'm FRIENDLY! I love talking as well. Traffic doesn't really bother me, because I have lots of patience. Don't necessarily like loud restaurants, but, if need be, wife and I have foam ear plugs to control that (true, but LOL anyway).

People who think their city is the best in America, even if the crime is very high, tons of traffic and COL is high.

People who think they know more than I do about certain things, such as rodeo.

People who have never been to a certain city or State, but talk like they have.

Try to avoid unfriendly people and those with little-to-no sense of humor at all. They don't like sarcasm in humor.

Think that about covers it.

Not sure what your point is, here. I think you're reinforcing my point, with your last sentence, yet your opening line seems to show you disagree with me. Hmm - - - -

I do agree with you. When we watch AFV, and it appears someone gets really hurt, we go "ummmm" and wonder why in the heck that person would do that or someone would do that to a person.

But, then again, it's like my last sentence about how much society likes, even thrives on, people getting hurt. I don't get it, but, guess I'm not suppose to.
 
Driving in areas that I'm not familiar with and parallel parking. I'd rather walk a mile in sleet and snow than parallel park.

Going to the doctor or dentist. I usually can tell when I have a serious problem, everything else takes care of itself when given time.
 
relatives that think they know every thing and their way of doing- things is always right-
and they are always wrong
