What do you do that goes against the grain?

A nod to Andrew "Mc lovin" Perloff from SI.com,and the Dan Patrick show....

At the staff meeting this morning, I was listening to to everyone chit chat,in my usual holding up the corner spot in the conference room...And realized how much shit,doesn't mean jack didly squat to me....

So,my question is....What things do you not do,that may be popular...Maybe even thought of as normal?

Mine include....
Facebook - Waste of time,too much B.S.
Twitter - About the same....
The Mall - 98% of the stores,I've either never been to,or don't care...A sports shop,and to a much lesser extent Sears...(even they've sucked for years) I understand if you're 15,I'm 35 and the mall could burn down,I'd probably not notice except everyone bitching about it
Going to the Movies - I have a nice HD Flat screen T.V.,pretty good surround sound,and a comfy couch....
Going to Concerts - Most artists sound better digitally anyway..and I don't have to deal with the other people....

[Dave Gray]

I don't listen to the radio.
I don't watch any "event" television that I can think of.  (Lost, for example.)
I don't have any interest in late night shows (Conan, Letterman, Kimmel, etc.)
I don't go to concerts, unless it's a very specific band or a small, small venue.

[bsfins]

I started to put this,and seeing Dave's "Event" one...I'll add it...

I Don't watch "Fox" - The exceptions are When they televise baseball/and football games..The last series I watched by Fox was Boston Public
ESPN - pretty much the same way,but I like PTI

[StL FinFan]

I don't listen to the radio much.
I don't watch talk shows.
I don't watch any sit com on a regular basis.
I don't watch reality shows, except for American Idol.  I would quit it too, but my kids like it.
I go to the movie theater very rarely.
I don't have my kids signed up for more than one after school activity at a time.

[Dave Gray]

I like to drink alcohol and I like to do fun, outdoors stuff, but I don't like them together.

So, I don't like to drink beer on the beach, or while kayaking or playing volleyball.  I don't really enjoy that part of BBQs, which is really popular among one of my friend groups.  They love to get together and drink while they play kickball and grill out.  I'll rather do one, then the other.

[Pappy13]

I don't read books.  It just takes me too damn long to finish them because I never seem to find the time.  I have read a few books over the years and I always enjoy them when I do read them, but it's few and far between.  I'd rather watch the movie when it comes out which if it's any good seems like it always does these days.

Besides my wife loves to read and if a movie is based on a book, I guarantee you that she's read it before we go to see it and 9 times out of 10 she doesn't like the movie because it wasn't as good as the book, so apparently reading the book ruins the movie. LOL

[bsfins]

I don't smoke,or drink,and Trying to give up Red meat...but I think those are more of personal choices....

Texting - I really don't get texting much,Yeah I get about 5 Avg (about 10 on a really busy week) text messages.Usually they're from work "Staff meeting moved to 2pm",If a Friend texts me I'll answer, but I really don't do it...

Chasing Women -  I'm not going to dating sites,I'm not trying to check out women,chasing women..Too much hassle, too much drama, and not worth the expense.. ***Hijack*** This is a bad problem here with a lot of women under 30,I'm out somewhere, and they think I actually give a shit about them...99% of the time they are in my way,between where I'm going,or something on the shelf...and they give me the dirty look...***end hijack***

[fyo]

I don't use AOL 2.0 (aka Facebook).
I don't use ICQ v. 3.0 (aka Twitter).
I don't watch talk shows or listen to talk radio.
I don't watch reality TV, with the exception of "cooking stuff" -- and only when it has some actual cooking in it (so no Hell's Kitchen, for example).

[StL FinFan]

Oh yeah, I hardly ever use my cell phone.  I don't text ever and my cell phone does not have internet access.

[Brian Fein]

I don't have a home phone.
I don't watch commercials.
I don't listen to terrestrial radio.

[TonyB0D]

[Frimp]

No cell phone
I hate reality shows
I don't watch ESPN unless there is a football game on (I get my news online)
I couldn't tell you what an of the most popular songs on the radio are
Haven't been to a concert since 2005 except for one local band where I know the drummer, and that was only once

[Dave Gray]

Yeah, I'm an outspoken atheist.  ...not only that, but I've been one for about 15 years.  (outspoken, at least)  It's more popular now, but it was pretty taboo for a lot of my life.

I also rarely order french fries, because I prefer vegetables -- and not even really for health reasons.  I wouldn't normally think that's all that weird, but people have reacted strangely about it before.

[Brian Fein]

french fries suck.  I haven't had french fries in years.

My next one...

I haven't been to McDonald's since 2007

[Thundergod]

Can't stand reality T.V.
I'm not obsessed with music like damn near the entire planet.
Don't watch talk shows
British humor sucks
