Things people like that let you know they suck

Hummers (the vehicle).

You have just left the planet. My buddy recently bought one (not the wimpy H2 or H3 nonsense, the big boy) and I must say that it is amazing. Have you ridden in one? Driven one? Thrilling vehicular experience ahoy.

Pro Wrestling sucks big time (it's crass, fake, dumb, and nasty),

Books: The Da Vinci Code, anythign by John Grisham

Thinking about a few people who rightly pointed out that most people responding in this thread have no idea as to what this thread was supposed to be about -- i.e. it's not about stuff you don't like, but rather stuff that some people enjoy (like Everybody Loves Raymond for TV) that lightbulbs you into realization to know their place in the universe.

However, there is a level of "liking" Da Vinci and John Grisham beyond the superficial -- and I don't know if people should be punished for that, which makes you have to associate context. I've read Grisham's whole library as well as DVC, and while I didn't find them "good" in the broad sense of the term, I think they are good for the reason that they get people reading -- something most don't do. 2+2 is a bit of an academic aberration (with notable exceptions).

Even if 1 person out of 100 that reads Grisham moves onto better books, I think that makes his place meritorious. Likewise, DVC. (And, yes, I know you can then think that every single author is "good" for this reason, but I'm thinking in the mass-appeal of getting 40+ million or whatever to pick up DVC means that 40+ million actually bought a book ... which could turn thousands into readers -- a global good was served.)

Something to think about before throwing Mr. Time to Kill out with the bathwater.

This is dependent on the person. He's extremely talented, but most of his fans still suck.

And I know this doesn't answer the question exactly but I'm going to say it anyway:

People who love college/pro sports teams even though they have zero affiliation with that school/city i.e. Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, Duke basketball, Texas Longhorns football

Edit: can't believe no one has said this yet

People that say, "I am the type of person..."

I just watched a few episodes of Real World and heard this about 15 times. I realized I hate it and instantly hate anyone that says it. Thankfully Svetlana never said it.

The version that I hate is, "That's what I'm about" or "That's what I'm all about." This is often said by that same type of person who thinks he is on t.v. and his life is a very interesting and marketable product, and has an image that people need to groove on. Referring to yourself in this manner is very close to talking about yourself in the third person.

It's always meant to be flattering, but it always winds up sounding like what the person is really "all about" is bullsh*t.
