I think it's weird how, after you scoop out a dollop of mayo from a jar, the remaining mayo stays taut and unconforming in a post-apocalytic world, waiting for the hell breeze to blow that will cleanse the mayo landscape and rend everything flat and clean again, but that hellbreeze will never sweep the mayoplains, in a jar of mayo

voted for "mayo is okay" -- if it's on a sandwich already i won't turn my nose up at it but if i'm fixing my own i'll probably opt for mustard or something.

I quite like mayo in a shop-bought sandwich or some kind of mayo-based drizzle or aioli with a meal out, but I never feel the need to buy a jar, let alone make my own. Which is good because the other half hates mayo and I would have to hear a lot of disgusted proclamations if he found any in our fridge.
I guess I'm voting "nice" but before I moved in with such an ardent mayo-hater I'd probably have gone for "okay in small doses".

3 parts mayo to one yellow burger mustard and one ketchup, plus paprika, cayenne, and crushed garlic, plus finely diced gherkins, is the burger relish of the gods.
Mayo with hot smoked paprika, sea salt, crushed garlic, sundried tomato paste, and Spanish sherry vinegar is an amazing, quick, cheat bravas for some potatas.
Hot chips dipped in mayo is amazing.
A big blob of mayo on the side of a bowl of chilli is amazing.

mayonnaise soup happened and it wasn't my fault
my lad has a perpetual soup going in the slow cooker, into which he gleefully (and, some might say, heedlessly) tosses the odds and ends that accumulate in our fridge.
there was something calling itself "broccoli salad" which he scraped into the pot, perhaps not fully realizing what was about to happen
and now he is having a bowl of mayonnaise soup. i haven't told him yet. i might not ever have the heart to tell him.

I'm fine with mayo, but based on the many comments made by people repulsed by it I'd say it is neither oil nor egg yolk that bothers the majority of them, but the combination of unctuous mouth feel and gloppy white appearance that triggers their revulsion. Taste doesn't seem to enter it nearly as much as those two factors. Now they can speak for themselves in their usual eloquent fashion.
