My UO is, I absolutely hate coffee. I've tried it so many different ways and it's still just awful. This includes any drink that likes to pretend it's not coffee but is still coffee.
Similar to @Nxy, but diff: I don't like Starbucks drip coffee. I love coffee, but they roast their beans to death. I was at a coffee bean plantation (is that the word I'm looking for?) in Costa Rica and Starbucks was the butt of all their jokes.
My UO is that I hate Christmas Cards. Yea yea I know, I'm the Grinch. But why would you waste so much time and money printing out a photo that I already saw on your Facebook feed last week and put a stamp on it and mail it to my house just down the road from where you live? I already know what's going on with your family/kids/pets because you post about it ten times a day on social media. Now I have to find enough magnets to hold them all on my fridge and pretend like I like them until Christmas is over so I can throw them away. My husband dared to ask me if I was making Christmas cards this year since "people like to know what's going on with the baby". Um, nothing's going on with her... she's a baby. And the people we would send them to anyways already see plenty of pics of her.
@strawberrytree I totally agree with Hallelujah not being a Christmas song!! It's pretty, but not Christmasy!!! But, I did hear a Christmas version of it the other day that I loved. They changed all the words, so they actually had something to do with Christmas. I was thinking, now this I understand!
My UO I don't want to have a birthday party for DD who is turning 1. She won't remember, or understand. More than likely will be overwhelmed with all the people she doesn't know, and we don't need a bunch of toys, we have a bunch of toys!! My mom is insisting, so I am letting her do something small, but I only let the guest list be under 10 people, including me, DH and the birthday girl!
ETA: I am all for the smash cake and 1 year pictures....I want the cute memories, just not an actual party.

I worked as a barista for 3 years at an independent gourmet coffee house. Part of our training was understanding how a lot of the chain coffee houses (Starbucks being the worst one) over-roast their coffee, burn their espresso, and scorch their milk. All for the sake of efficiency with their fancy automatic machines. I still cringe when they dunk the steam wand in the milk... and walk... away... recipe for scorched milk every time.
Countless times I prepared coffee the RIGHT way for customers who were "content" with Starbucks. Every time they loved ours better and asked us why it was so good. Amazing that Starbucks has such a following. It's mostly because they don't know any better.
@middy411 I feel that way when people don't even write anything on them. If we send something, we write a personal note on it. You know.. like a card. i don't like just getting a mass mailed photo.
I pretty much have a huge dislike of OBGYNs after my first birth. It is so much more a business than it is an experience for a family. If you haven't you should watch the business of being born on Netflix of YouTube. Eye opening how billing, insurance and all the inbetween can dictate over safety sometimes.

And I don't care how conveniently timed Leonard Cohen's death was, Hallelujah is NOT a Christmas song so stop trying to pass it off as one.
