What do you hate?

"Charity muggers"/clipboard-weilding solicitors

I've gotten really hostile to aggressive activists, as well, which I sometimes feel guilty about (since I usually agree with their causes). But why do there need to be eight Greenpeace kids all on different corners of the same intersection, two or three of them coming at me in a row (after I've already been hit up for change several times)? No I can't spare a minute for the environment. Fuck the environment, I have a lot to get done.

Do what I did and become really unhealthy and scary looking. Now all I get is flyers for tattoo parlours.

my hate is passive tho generally, if that's possible. right now i hate nothing more than i hate Macromedia Dreamweaver (except maybe raw hand-coding).

Can i just say that I prefer this type to people who just discovered four or five bands that were never in the top 40 or 4/5 films made for less than a million dollars from reading NME/Empire and suddenly think they're a fucking expert.

Blowhard bullies.

Extreme rationalistic/atheistic fundamentalism masquerading as 'skepticism', 'critical thinking', etc.

(Basically extreme philisophical and religious positions about things that are unknowable irritate the piss out of me.)

Having to get up to go to the bathroom.

Conservative politics.

'Tough love'

Sports (especially football)

The Protestant Work Ethic

Business and money-related things in general

Phones

Bugs

Acne (specifically, my acne)

The subculture surrounding Marijuana (the drug itself I'm indifferent to), especially those who can talk about nothing else.

The idea that not doing drugs makes you 'boring'.

Cars.

Fanboys.

Cliquishness.

Animal Rights extremists

Racism,homophobia, etc.

Commercials, ads, and advertising.

Advertising before movies.

Pop-up ads.

Puritanism/prudishness (though it's excusable with some people, usually relatives).

False modesty (to be more precise, false modesty in instances where it's not just being polite and civil but turns into passive- aggressiveness).

Cat-hating. (I can understand not liking cats, but going out of your way to actively hate them is silly).

People who brag about not watching TV.

People who whine about whining. Especially pertaining to musical artists/bands. (Sorry, but someone's song lyrics are going to end up address unhappiness in one way or another, it's useless to get upset about it).

My fucking piece of shit CD and DVD players.

People who think they're above everyone else because they just discovered jazz.

Vinyl fetishists who still claim that CD's are the modern 8-Track tape. (Actually in some ways this is more endearing than hate-inspiring, though it still can be irritating.)

Extreme ludditism/anti-technology thinking, the cult of 'realness', 'authenticity', etc. (rockism essentially).

'Political Incorrectness'.

Dennis Miller's gradual rightward shift.

Constipation and other digestion problems.

Bloody noses.

Myself (sometimes).

OTM.

Californian type women

hangovers

feeling shame

euphemisms, unless they're funny

cockroaches

fights with people i love

mouth ulcers

cellphone ads that talk about "free minutes" "anytime minutes" etc

licorice

drug sentencing laws

cats

airports

traditional chinese music

people that take wealth, education, middle-classness for granted

oh!! and the narrator on big brother.

- line-in-the-sand critical thinking/critical blanket statements/attempts to turn Big mediocrities into Rich-ly praised artistes!/dismissal of music or film or any art without bothering to understand it

- cowardice, at least when it comes to people who are unwilling to say something to your face or be honest with you

- sunny optimism or "everything is just wonderful!" attitude that is usually just masking a "don't bother me with bad stuff that happens in the world, all is okay with me, that's all that matters" attitude

- the entire concept and execution of jobs and modern employment

- strangely I don't hate anyone on ILX

*people who don't read the thread before they post (such as moi)

my very disrespectful neighbors and their broken windows and shouting at 5 am and the fact that they let their dogs run loose all over the street while they stand and watch because they're too lazy to go get them and the dogs run at my other neighbor's little girl. k thnx I'm done now

the return of the frat boys

my indecision

the death toll in Iraq

- Von Dutch gear and the people that wear it.
- The advertisement campaign for DiTech.Com
- Telemarketers
- Zealouos Republicans
- Religious Fundamentalists
- People who say "take it serious" instead of "seriously".
- Joe Scarborough's "Scarborough Country" on MSNBC
- The following words: "hero", "patriot" and "genius".
- The inexplicable need to reduce everything to a soundbye (i.e. September 11th 2001 now being universally referred to as "Nine Eleven!")

Oh so FUCKING OTM!!!!

I've just seen this! If you can find it again I'll unlock it.

Dryer sheets

Do I have to fucking re-wash my clothes now?

the outboard handbag-on-forearm

When I'm at the customer service window at the bank or post office, and the next person in line comes up and stands next to me instead of behind me...? THAT'S what I hate.

Along those lines: when people make left turns around you from behind while you're also making a left turn.

Also anyone who drives on the shoulder because they just want to get somewhere faster.

* Inflation. And economic assessments that just happen to be rigged to not reflect said inflation.
* The colors royal blue and orange-red.
* Buyers for department store plus size departments (judging from their selections, the hatred is mutual).
* "Red state" culture.

ISPs

Also anyone who drives on the shoulder because they just want to get somewhere faster.

yeah, everyone knows that's what bike lanes are for

VAT

that it's this sunny and settled NOW but it wasn't in July

I hate my last 200 or so posts on ILX. I'm in a severe slump.

aww cmon boo

people who don't use turn signals when turning - including left turns.

obnoxious parents at open house night - "I majored in history, and blah blah blah...."

Sort of Rock Hardy's queue rage, but at the other end of the queue: I hate it when I'm at the back of the queue and the next person stands alongside me and edges a little further ahead of me whenever the queue moves. If you're on your own in a queue where most people are in groups (flights, big events, etc) and so not single file, someone WILL do this to you. HATE.

Also, the cyclist who nearly hit me by going full speed up the 20% of the pavement right between the bus and the bus stop. It's supposed to be illegal to cycle on the pavement here, but I know that's a losing battle. And I'm sure it's annoying that buses have to pull in across the cycle lane, but it does tend to mean that someone is about to walk across the pavement between the bus stop and the bus, and if nobody is standing at the stop then that somebody is probably on the bus and can't see you lurking behind it.

(I did look before I stepped out! I guess I was looking down at actual time of hitting ground, and there she was. It's really just that if she'd used the other 80% of the pavement or just gone slower I would have seen her, but she was right on the inside of the bus.)

And lately about 6000 other things besides.

I hate how many times I used the word "queue" in that explanation.

is fcussen the same dude as gff/goole or did i just invent that

I'm close to going haywire on the next person who sidles up next to me, close enough to read the account number off my checkbook, when they're supposed to be behind me. But in this tiny town, I would get a reputation or a booking photo.

I think we have an "Americans don't know how to queue properly" thread, but this one was good enough.

these, with a passion!
