Can't agree with these. I love both of those things.
I can agree here, though, although a little bit of wealth wouldn't exactly be discarded.
For me:
Alcohol - I used to think this was so great, but now I can go months and months without having a drink. Yeah, I'll still drink occasionally and wipe myself out, but it's no longer the basis of my Friday nights. It's pointless.
Sex - Some have mentioned this already, so I'll have to agree. I'm still a virgin, so technically the jury is still out on this, but there's a few people I know that almost live for sex. I'm not one of those people and suddenly I'm strange! However, once my love-shyness is all gone I would like to literally figure out if sex is good or not.
Fireworks - I used to like them when I was 10, but they're so bland now. Give me a good lightning show any day of the week! In fact, summer is approaching in Australia so I'll hopefully see a few electrical shows.
Gossip - My mum is huge on the gossip scene, always trying to sprout some knowledge on who's getting a new couch, or who's going to jail, and so on. I don't care. It doesn't concern me so I don't give a hoot.
Christmas - One of the most capitalist "holidays" out there. Spend hundreds of dollars on materialistic garbage and pretend to be happy for 12 hours. No thanks. A really, really overrated holiday that I never look forward to. Being the end of October now means it's closing in.
Cars - As a male, I'm supposed to be interested in cars. I'm also supposed to be interested in modifying them to look cooler or sound noisier or have a "fully sick" subwoofer in them or whatever. That really doesn't bother me one tiny bit. I just want a car that'll be reliable and have as little maintenance as necessary. A girl once told me I was "brave" for saying I didn't like cars...I thought I was just being honest...?
Wow, I sound like a sourpuss, haha.

I don't like cars either. Much of my lifestyle is built around not having a car. I would feel so encumbered if I had to have one.
What else is overrated... I'd have to say, restaurants. People think I'm so unfortunate because I can't eat in a restaurant (due to my condition). But I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Being waited on, eating strange food that someone else prepared and probably sneezed on, being charged enormous amounts of money... it doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't even like eating at the same table as another person. I can't enjoy what I'm eating if I have to worry about table manners.
And restaurant marketing is so cunning. They use all sorts of strategies to make you think you're getting value for your money, even though you're not. Stupid restaurants, lol.

Totally.
I agree. Kittens should rule the world.Kittens are not overrated, don´t know where did you get this idea from. Btw if they were, they fully deserve it
I agree that dogs are overrated, as pets. Many of them do not make good pets.
