RL:
I try not to be judgmental. I do my best to be 'your thing is not my thing, but that's okay', but that my housemate and his girlfriend go around making cat-noises at each other all the time (like instead of "where are you", it's miaowing up the stairs, it's miaowing instead of when's lunch etc) is fecking wierd.
That they're doing it while they're supposed to be at work/studying, somewhere, I don't care where but out of the house is more than a little annoying.

A song people wouldn't expect you to like.
This could actually be any number of later Backstreet Boys song. So yeah, story time.
I was an obnoxious brat when I was younger and very much anti-boy band. I had a dear friend who was far too into BSB. I accepted that they were at least the best of the obnoxious wailing creatures and that they were at least fun nonsense.
So we get older, and I actually get more stick for liking Slipknot than this unexpected fondness for BSB. Then the later stuff comes out, and normally, with boy bands, you had the "ugly" members that could actually sing, and then the "pretty" ones that couldn't and with this lot, even if the "prettiest" member was the worst singer, they could at least all sing. And then I noticed that the high pitched ones and the low pitched ones were singing in totally different keys, and then there was this poor unfortunate in the middle having to do both, resulting in some hideous jazz key signatures.
Anyway, so Ads, another friend (who I'll have to get back into contact with when I'm back home for more than 3 days in a row) and the kind of person allergic to boy bands, and he's like, yeah right. So I play him "I Want It That Way" and he suddenly sees it, and it's like 'still not my kind of thing, but I'll admit they're good', which sums up my feelings too.
