I remember my rhetoric professor once warned us to never make statements that involve everybody, nobody, everything, nothing, and other absolute extremes. Why? Because of people like this.
A Redditor recently asked folks to share things and activities that nearly everyone hates, or at the very least finds extremely dull and uninteresting, yet they themselves find enjoyable.
Because of course there’s gonna be that one dude or dudette who loves untangling Christmas lights. Or that one person who absolutely loves writing academic essays. Or that one guy or gal who can’t wait to get home and do their dishes because it’s hella relaxing. Or that one writer who still uses hella in their writings, for that matter... There's always that one not allowing for absolute statements.
Scroll down to find the best responses to the now-viral question what's something you like that the vast majority of people hate? found on AskReddit. And hey, while you’re going that way, why not leave an upvote and a comment sharing things you love while the rest of the world looks at you all confused.

YES. YES! Thank you. Everyone thought my oldest daughter was crazy in grade school because she LOVES seaweed. I would have to pack her those little packets of it every day as a snack.

People that talk a lot so I don’t need to. I like listening to them and I find their energy refreshing.

It sometimes gets tiring but I absolutely love this about my husband. He can talk about pretty much anything forever. He also remembers to ask questions when I just want nothing to do with it.

This is the opposite of my husband who sometimes forgets he isn't answering me in his head so I'll just loudly do his part too for him but add a little flourish like "YES Wife, I absolutely do agree with that incredible point you just made and I wanted to remind you that you're beautiful" and then I'll just reply back like "Oh, thank you so much Husband, you're too kind. And the way you never fail to answer me makes me feel ever so important!" And then he's like damn I was doing it again and then he tells me what he thought with like 3 words.

This is me. I never understood all the jokes about hating the airport. I just thought maybe it was because I don't fly enough.

I've seen a lot of travellers that are quite stressed out before and/or tired after a trip. Very short fuses and clearly not chilling even if there's nothing to do between security and their flight.

No one post rants and memes on every social media they can get their hand on about how they enjoy being at an airport. It's the bias in favor of delays, cancellations, missed connections and other negative outcomes I guess.
Most travellers have nothing to say about their airport experience other than the day drinking and people watching. Last flight I really enjoyed the wooden rocking chairs in front of the big window facing the runway. Not the kind of thing that get a lot of traction on social media...

I think I don't like candy corn but my first and only experience with it was when I was 6 I saw one on the road near the playground, so I put it in my mouth, and i don't remember the exact flavor, just that I didn't like it. I'm wondering If I should retry it.

It's weird...I'm not sure I like it...but I want it. I'm like a flavor masochist. Something about the experience does it for me and I can't quite put a finer point on it than that...

Flavor masochist is not a term I thought I would ever hear but I’m kinda into it. It just rolls of the tongue.

For 34 of my 39 years I've been throwing away yellow Starburst because I thought they were banana! I was appalled at myself when I learned they're lemon.

I love it as well! My wife is amazing for many reasons but one in particular has to do with this. Over the years she noticed that when I was driving in the rain I would put on my favorite synthwave station on Pandora. Then the next time it rained and we were driving she started suggesting it.

Both the rain and the fact she noticed and encouraged it make me so happy.
