When I was growing up, I HATED peanut butter--which is one of many things that I guess made me the "weird" kid. I like it now though, but I'm still no fan of PB&J sandwiches (actually, I don't like jellies all that much either, to this day).
Other things:
Raisins (why let a perfectly good grape shrivel up and become sour? Although you can stomp on it and let the juice ferment and that's perfectly fine...
).
Cole slaw--except in what Pittsburghers call a "slaw dog". I DO like sauerkraut though, and will eat that plain.
"Popular music" for the most part.
I concur on the McDonald's fries too, I NEVER get the "value meal", just the sandwich (and I get my pop at the store, in a bottle or can, which is usually better than the fountain versions). My thing about fries is, they should look like they obviously came from a potato--having the skins on sure helps. And they should be big and buff, "steak fries" or the like, not these wimpy little swizzle-stick-type things you get at most fast food joints....
Oh, and then there's apples. It's not that I don't like them per se, but I have developed an allergy to them (started in my teens, go figure) to the point where my face breaks out in hives, my gums itch, and my throat itches and gets tighter. Just raw apples though, if you cook them (as in a pie), whatever it is I react to gets cooked out.

Everybody usually thinks I'm a freak when I tell I them I don't like coffee. My mom questioned if I was hers. This is especially ironic as I worked in a college cafe for over 5 years!

I hate babies. I loathe them. I abominate them. I cannot abide the sight, sound, or smell of them. Meanwhile everyone around me (though, thankfully, not my immediate family) is going "OOOOH, look at the cute little babies! Is'm little baby tired? Is'm? Is'm?" It makes me want to reach for my shillelagh.

People who pretend to be politically correct. This means anyone who says "I'm not being racist/xenophobic/anti-American/etc..." and then makes a racist/xenophobic/anti-American comment.

The way people try to teach young children to be stupid. e.g. -
For infants, it's "babyspeak" - "ooza cooty widdle baby waybe? Yoowah, yez yoowah, yyyyezooah"....from there it becomes complete gibberish.
For toddlers it's the made-up names for things, like "moo-moo". It's a bloody cow or bull, for Lucifers sake! What good does it do to tell 'em it's called a moo-moo?
And for the ones who've started their first year of school, well, for example, a few years ago, a good friend of mine's son was in his first year of primary school and had asked me to help him with his homework. The homework was a "What's the opposite of?" question sheet and only two of the questions actually had opposites & they were dog & cow, the rest were things like cat, deer, horse, mouse etc. I called his mother over & pointed it out to her (she wasn't the sharpest so it took a while) and then we got him to fill in the answers correctly ("*****", "bull" & "nothing" for the rest). Well, all but the bull, were marked wrong by his "teacher". Who lets these idiots teach?

Them I'm afraid you hate yourself since you always make racist/xenophobic/anti-French comments and then pretend you're not racist/xenophobic/anti-French
I think many will agree with me on this one

Maybe but at least I don't say "I am not being racist but [insert racist comment here]." That is what really annoys me.

Being held at gun-point is worse though. I always look on the bright side of life, unless it infringes on copyright laws.

@Allen:
"Slaw dog"? I've lived in Pgh all my life and have never heard of such a thing. We do put cole slaw on some regular sandwiches though(if you can call an 8 inch tall sandwich with cole slaw and french fries on it regular).
Maybe you're referring to the old retriever that ambles up and down my street, the "slow dog"? I'll offer him some cole slaw and see.
Coffee. I retry it on a regular basis but still don't like it. It's bitter and causes bad breath.

The Backstreet Boys handlers were genius to produce a song whose lyrics went something like "I don't care where you are, what you look like, what you do, as long as you love me."
It's the ultimate in teen girl marketing -- these are theoretically good looking, desirable boys who offer universal devotion or whatever under the condition that their fans buy their albums, listen to their music, i.e. "love" them.
It's like a pop cultural perpetual motion machine that rewards devoted fans with THEIR OWN DEVOTION... The level of love the fan feels for the artist is reflected back upon the fan, stimulating further devotion. Genius!
I hate them too, BTW, but I think their time has passed -- Backstreet Boy bashlash has pushed them into the pop cultural history books...
