Things I know nothing about.....and really don't want to

[smokum]

Carpentry...I "built" a lean to shed for firewood at my cabin. Very proud. Shingled it etc. it collapsed after the first snow storm. I just dont get it.

Texting...

Recording cussing to a drum machine while someone plays a phonograph backwards... Don't pretend you don't know what I mean!

The state of celebrity...

Recycling... as if throwing it away once was not good enough.

TV shows on DVD! Like recycling.... but different!

Organic foods. Paying twice as much for a peach that tastes every bit as awful but costs twice as much! (Could also be used to describe the EL program.)

Bottled water. If the price of gas was this much you would raise hell, but water, no problem.

The fat cigar!

The tax code.

Being a salaried employee; or how to voluntarily work hard at making less money.

... ear wax.

One word to answer your conundrum.... science.

Proctology.  There, I said it.  Proctology.

Office Politics - All a bunch of he said, she said hearsay.

Sales and Marketing - Because if you already knew you didn't want it to begin with, here's why you should change your mind!

Teslas - They outsource their manufacturing from China just like everyone else.

Boba Tea- Weird Asian Drinks with the corn starch ball that you choke on when you try to take a sip.

Quantum physics and Religion. I’ve seen both have similar effects on several friends. Ignorance is bliss as far as I’m concerned.

*The Face Book.

*People who get behind the wheel and are more interested in playing with their damn phones instead of driving down the highway.

*Racists that accuse everyone else of being the racist....because it can't possibly be them....lol

*Sports played with balls, and their millionaire cry baby players.  You make millions to run around in tights and play with balls....some people might call that prostitution.

Soccer rules

One of my nieces is on a collegiate women's national championship team. I've cheered her since she first started playing as a youngster. Never really knew the rules of the game or in depth strategy. Thinking I might change that, I picked up a couple of books to read up on the subject. I stopped halfway through when I got to the definition of 'offsides'. Its different from that same word in American football. I realized I don't really care. I enjoy being physically active, but aren't very big on watching spectator sports much.
I know when her team kicks the ball in the net it's good, and when the other team does it it's not. When my niece or her teammates kick the ball down toward the opposing net it's also good. As is when they stop the other team from doing so on the opposite side of the field. That's all I need to know to cheer my niece. And that's perfectly adequate for me. I returned the books to the store.

P.S. - if you enjoy soccer or other spectator sports, that's fine too.

Celebrities - Currently in movies or music

 

Even if I might have enjoyed something they've done, I have absolutely no interest in any gossip chatter about them. And I have Zero interest in their political views or expressed opinions.

Wrist watches as status symbols,

I think the thing that I don't get about this, is the people i've found to often wear them, try to come across as learned men, with minds for engineering and invention.... but when you actually ask them about the intricacies of movement, or basically anything more complex than it had rolex written on it, or that it glows in the dark.........they are often stumped. 

I have studied alongside clock conservators/horologists and visited all sorts of specialist collections on timepiece automation, and I do find the creation of these objects absolutely fascinating. Hats off the enthusiasts who genuinely understand the £50,000 timepiece they're wearing, but I would gamble a good 60-70% have a lot more in common with Patrick Bateman

I find both of these fascinating. Quantum physics makes your head spin admittedly but once you grasp the basics it starts to make some sense. When you go deeper out becomes a bit of a mind-f*ck but I enjoy the crazy theories and wonder at the minds that can come up with them.
I've read much about various religions in an effort to come to an understanding of them and concluded that each is merely an opinion without proof. I now know more of the Bible, and indeed where the writings and consequent repercussions developed, than most who have faith in it.

Children. Hated being one, never had one (to my knowledge), never will (to my relief), dislike being around them, especially the ones who exist to excrete and scream 24/7. No offense to all you loving dads out there (and may yours be wonderful, brilliant, successful, do the chores around your house and find a great nursing home for you in a few decades), but I never had that desire. My wife feels even stronger on the subject, bless her cold, dark misanthropic heart.

WC had the best line about children ever............

Cats - It's not that I particularly have anything against them.  I just can't manage to eat a whole one.
