I don't think I really spite-avoid things very often, but….. Apple products. There was a span in the late 00s and early 10s where the hardcore Apple fanbase was like some kind of quasi-religious legion, and it was a real turn off. And then on top of that, it always rubbed me the wrong way that they got away with…

Oh man, I know I won't sway you, but…. that game…. it's just so damn delightful.

Shit sounds so dumb…and still manages to be 100 times more compelling than The Maze Runner.

There are at least two coffee shops in my smallish (~80k people) town that do trivia. Plus, the pub I play at has really good draft root beer. If you look around I bet you can find somewhere to go.
