Wink Things in life you just don't "get"?

Here's a few for starters:

Sports...sometimes fun to play, but boring to watch.
Tobacco...stinks.
Tattoos...huh?
Women...well, they have their "moments" .
Gibson...what the...!
Coffee...yuk.
Soap Opera's...same story, different channel.
Rap/hip hop...zzzz...new appreciation for disco!
Alcoholic beverages...taste like paint thinner to me.
Multi-millionaires...who still crave the next dollar.
Artificial maple syrup...nope.
Life without cilantro....yummm.
Banjo's & accordion's...fingernails on the blackboard sound better.

Sagging pants.

I don't get the appeal.
I don't get the physics of it. How do they even stay up?

Many parts of the blues, country, and bluegrass musical forms.
Art-house movies.
Pimentos and cheese.
Piercings.
Parts of many political ideologies.
The appeal of Carrot Top.

There are several more. I will think of them later.

The last one of your list reminded me of a joke:

Q. When does an accordion sound good?

A. When it lands on a banjo in a dumpster.
