I hate mustard.
Yes, all of it.
Yes, wasabi mustard. Yes, fresh ground mustard. Yes, mustard powder in my curry. Yes, purple mustard. Yes, the greens too!
It's just ... it's gross, folks.
Please find a better food seed for your faith to be measured by. Mustard is awful.

Too Sweet
"Most icing or frosting on cake (except for cream cheese frosting in small amounts)."
"Its too sweet! I'd rather eat cake plain or maybe with whipped cream."
- RetiredEpi
"This is the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen."
"My family, especially my mother, LOVES icing. I just can’t take it - I swear I can feel the granules of sugar in it and it makes me feel nauseous."
"Cream cheese icing, especially if it’s homemade, I can enjoy in small bouts. The more it tastes like cream cheese, the more I like it."
- liveandletthrive
"I think you may not like American style butter cream icing, which is butter and icing sugar whipped up."
"It’s one note, but easy to use. People tend to put way too much on."
"Some grocery store cakes I have seen have an inch of icing, the corner or edge price with the piped edge on top."

Just Ice Cream, Please
"Honestly not a fan of most 'too many additions' ice cream."
"You know the ones, they have 12 different things in them like raw cookie dough, chocolate bars, caramel, salted peanuts, and more... I like plain ice cream, I like ice cream with one or two additions, but the throw the entire sink of confectioneries at it really is just a sugar overload."
"When I want ice cream, I want ice cream. When I want cookies, I'll have them. When I want a chocolate bar, I'll eat one."
"I don't need to eat all of them together."
- VadPuma
"Lol I went to a 21 flavors and the person working there was talking about all these “amazing” flavors but when I just asked for chocolate she gave me the stink eye."

Jiggy
"Coleslaw. Can't get jiggy with it."
- barito37
"See, it really depends on the coleslaw."
"When I was little, one of my relatives made this amazing coleslaw, I never knew his secret but it was the best coleslaw ever. My mom had told him over and over, I do NOT like coleslaw. It's true."
"Cause one day, I was eating a LOT of it and he laughed and said I must like it... I looked right at him and said: "Only this one."
"I hated all other forms of coleslaw because it didn't taste good."
"I don't know what he did to it to make it so light, but also rich, but also refreshing and peppery at the same time. It wasn't damp either, it was just... aaaa heaven."
"It was heaven."
"Anytime that family member was hosting a BBQ or invited us over for lunch he'd make it. Like, he and his wife loved me something fierce."
"I was technically their 'first' grandchild so they were like my adopted grandparents. They were my dad's aunt and uncle but I didn't call them that. They knew I loved some very specific things: His coleslaw and her strawberry shortcakes."
"The summer wasn't complete without going to one of their BBQs. This coleslaw tasted like summer and childhood happiness all in one."
"... Sorry this was a weird rant. I still hate coleslaw. I've never had one as good as his and while I've tried it... there just is something missing."

Cheese Flavored
"Jellybeans."
"I’ve been traumatized by it when I had a friend offer me one. It tasted horrible because it was cheese flavoured."
"I can never look at them the same."
- PersonalityDifficult
"When they have those ones where two different flavours of beans look the same, but one tastes good and one tastes bad?"
"I don't like it, but I'll eat a grass, earwax or vomit flavoured bean. Sure I'll make a face, and a comment, but it's no big deal."
"I ate a "Butter Popcorn" flavoured bean once, it is the closest I ever came to throwing up from a food. And it was the 'good' one."
"To this day I will not eat white jelly beans with yellow dots, I don't care what you say it tastes like."
- keyringer
"I was the head of Marketing at Jelly Belly when we developed those weird flavors for the Harry Potter franchise (first sold as 'Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans'), and I can tell you the backstory about the Vomit flavor."
"It's actually a flavor that we had previously developed but hadn't released: Pepperoni Pizza!"
"Thanks to the power of suggestion, if you eat one knowing that, the normal gag reflex isn't nearly as strong. Not that you should make any great effort to try it!"

"Beer. Like literally any kind of beer."
"I tell people this and I always get the same 'it's an acquired taste' or 'you just have to find one that's actually good. Try my favorite beer.' "
"No. It's not going to happen."
"I'm 31 and I've tried beer countless times. I just think it's f*cking disgusting. It just tastes like old rotten garbage to me."
- bobthebobofbob
"Someone else who doesn't like beer!"
"I find beer is inherently bitter and so I hate it. I've tried so many different beers too."
"Only time I like beer is when it's been used to make stew because I can add sweet vegetables like carrots, boil off a load of the alcohol and maybe add some honey for good measure to get rid of that awful bitter taste."
"For drinking I'd much rather have something that actually tastes nice like cider or rum."

Daddy Issues
"Miracle Whip."
"I haven’t been able to eat it since I witnessed how my dad eats hot dogs."
"It’s a microwaved hot dog on a slice of white bread with American cheese, covered in miracle whip. I have never seen him eat a regular one on a bun with ketchup and mustard."
- dekuscrubber
"I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the sandwiches my grandfather enjoyed."
"He'd slather two pieces of white bread with Miracle Whip and stuff a thick round of raw onion between 'em."
- SEND_GLUTES

Not all pet owners have the same relationship with their pets.
While anyone who decides to become a pet owner, or pet parent as some say, love their pets equally, some never ever let them leave their side.
Taking their pet with them to work, running errands, even on vacations.
Many pet parents even allow their pets to share their bed with them when going to sleep.
For others though, this is where a line is finally drawn.
Redditor Piggythelavasurfer was curious to hear whether pet owners allowed their pets to share their bed with them, as well as the reasons why they do/don't, leading them to ask:
"Do you let your pet sleep in your bed? Why/why not?"

"I found this tiny kitten screaming her head off under a car."
"Would not come out."
"Got some food and some water in dishes."
"I stood by the tire so she couldn't see my feet."
"She got curious about the food and water and started gobbling it down."
"I thought she would bolt when I squatted down."
"She was too busy eating."
"I grabbed her by the nape of the neck and all four legs went straight out and she tried to scratch me to death."
"I got her in the door and tossed her toward the couch."
"She ricocheted off the couch as if she was a ping pong off a table and I lost sight of her."

It is easy to understand how some people are able to fall asleep more easily knowing their friend and protector is there, in bed, with them.

The old wives' tales.
They are the stories of legend.
I think we all need a big DEEP Google dive though.
Where did they originate?
WHO ARE THE OLD WIVES!
You don't hear about them as much anymore.
It's like science and logic are suddenly a thing.
But they sure are a good way to keep your kids and their behavior in line.
Redditor the_spring_goddess wanted to discuss the tall tales we've all been fed through life, so they asked:
"What is an old wives tale that people still believe?"
"Wait an hour to swim after eating."
What a crock!
So many summer hours wasted.
I want revenge for that one.
