As a rock guitarist, King Crimson. It just leaves me high-and-dry, lotsa playing, little emotion.
As a writer, William Faulkner. Yes, I know he's great, but he just doesn't move me.
Outside those fields, I don't worry myself much about expectations.

Ah I thought of 4 more: Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Discord.
ETA: OH WOW ALEX! TOTALLY THE BIGGEST ONE FOR ME: Watching TV.
Haven't had a TV hooked up since I moved out of my parents' in 2000. TV get dumber every time I take a peek. Good riddance.
I got rid of television ten years ago. It was a great move, and who cares if I'm supposed to like it? Were Marx alive today, TV would be the opiate he railed against.
