Nouvelle cuisine, especially the kind that involves applying the sauce with an eye dropper. I want sauce, damn it!!!

TV cooking shows where they start with a recipe that seems easy enough, then introduce an ingredient that you, personally, can't obtain, like a fruit that you never heard of, but they assure you that you can find it in any Uzbekistani food store, or camel cheese (available in the Algerian section of any grocery store). Where do these people live? Apparently not in the real world.

Dunkin Donuts - since, as I get older, my tolerance for sugar coated sugar has gone way down. Bring back plain donuts.

Canned peas
canned stringbeans.
canned carrots
the crap that comes out of Nashville under the name of "Country Music"

Public TV fund raising, which comes around every two months.

Self-help shows, which preempt regular programming on Public TV during fund raising.

REALLY LOUD OBNOXIOUS COMMERCIALS FOR CAR DEALERS ON THE RADIO!!!!!

Really conservative or really liberal thinking.

Out of control political correctness.

I agree with some of the other entries, but not Waffle House. Some states don't have them. The nearest one to me is about 50 miles away.
