Do you get upset when... - Page 2

Why should I get upset if someone doesn't have the same taste in books and movies as me? No one has the same taste in everything.

I like my steaks rare. My mom likes her well-done.

I like sushi. My mom hates fish.

I like venison. My mom won't eat game.

I love mushrooms. My dad hates them.

My sister loves kiwi fruit. I think it's nasty.

My sister listens to Olivia Newton-John, has since the 70's. I don't, never did, never will.

I like classic rock hair bands, my sister hates them.

I like fried jalapenoes. One of my best friends hates spicy food.

I like action and espionage movies, my sister likes rom-coms and slapstick.

And none of us think less of the other because of it.

I don't care about stuff like that, but I do know people who get upset if you dislike certain movies they love.

I couldn't care less if someone likes the same movies and books that I do. 

No, but I have friends that do!  I want to tell them that if that's the biggest stress in their life, they need more to worry about!! :)

Really! If they need something to worry about, I have few extra items on my plate they can have.

I agree it doesn't make sense.  I think some people just plain like to argue or stir the pot.

Count me in the "I don't care if you like the same things as me" club.  Variety is life is good; we don't have to think alike, have similar tastes or look alike.

Nope! I get a little bummed if one of my good friends doesn't like something I do, but that's just because I love sharing my hobbies/tv shows/books with friends!
