You know what I hate?!?

[Airbozo]

I hate people who won't admit when they are wrong.

I would like to think I'm not one of those people. I am humbled by your words Airbozo and I stand corrected. What you said makes perfect sense and now I understand why the business owner raised her prices.

I reread that and it sounded harsh. Not my intent. Just trying to make light of the situation. I have some friends and relatives who own small businesses and depend on the students and sr's to fill in minimum wage positions. They do agree that the minimum wage should be raised, but it should be tied to some economic indicator that is a little more steady rather than a politician pandering for votes from the masses. Recently (in the past 5 years or so), people apply for those positions intending them to be some career stepping stone (ticket taker to popcorn server? c'mon!) to a well paid position. They know the wage when they hire, but gripe every minute of every day until they either leave or get fired.

You know what I hate? Thread benders! woops!

You know what I hate today? My beautiful bride went to Cabo San Lucas for the week and left me here...

I strongly dislike the fact that this thread has gotten twice as long as the "you know what I love" thread.

Is there a reason people prefer to hate than to love?

[blueonblack]

I think it comes easier to us, CB. It also breeds a lot faster than love. And for some reason is more easily shared. Sad but true.

Bong review

[Acey]

- Constant nagging (mom's included)

- People who stop while walking without thinking they're obstructing a traffic flow, or sway left to right while walking a mall as if the whole freaking path belongs to their great grandpa.

- Drivers who drive with their eyes and legs, minus the brain especially those who stopped at the junction when they see you coming near and suddenly took the turn when you are 2 1/2 cock hair away from them

- Being asked "Does it hurt?" when people see my tattoos or what is it

- People who brag outrageously as if the whole doesnt know they're bull****ting (I just put them down in public real loud just to make sure they keep their BS mouth shut the next time they sit on the same table)

- Plastic girls who hog even dying men just for $

- Waiter/waitress who don't really wanna serve you cos you came in in shorts and t-shirts until you plunked your big fat wallet on the freakin table

- Banks: Licensed loan shark. Period.

- People who pay for their meals with credit cards (below 200 bucks). What is it that a working person have to owe the bank money just to have a meal, if you cant or isnt willing to fork out that amount of cash first, go McD's or BK.

- The bloody government. Hiking cigarette, diesel, & petrol price like nobody's business; which the effect of the latter causes hike in almost every product. And then spending 2-to-3-digit-millions on stupid places or buildings that everyone hates to go and nobody wants to go. There goes our tax money.

Creation and Destruction, look to the Human Behavior Expiraments for some psychological insight. But it all comes back to the Shadow Self, those dark feelings we get and repress for the sake of social acceptance and our own ideals of morality, which is really just a social construct in itself. It feels good to indulge those emotions because we're told constantly by everyone else, do not do it. We repress our darker desires constantly. And letting them out on occasion, in a controlled manner is healthy.

I have a friend that is reminding me at times that hate is such a strong word, that I shouldn't use it if I'm to be enlightened or whatever. And my response to that is simply this. It's all a result of striving right? That wants and negative emotions lead to striving. Be part of the world, but be not touched by it. There in lies the tragic flaw of that philosophy, how can you do that and care about anything else? It's the danger of caring about the world around you, that you open yourself to negative reactive impulses. The alternative to hate, is not compassion. But apathy...

Now back to topic
I really wish this thread had been titled Know What Really Grinds My Gears?" but oh well.

-I'm an English/Rhetoric major. And I HATE people who correct other people when they use incorrect grammar/spelling, etc in everyday speech.

-The Truth commercials, and the people that praise them. Whiney, arrogant, self-righteous maggots feeding off of the carrion of sensationalized propaganda. If it's for those people out there who smoke, you're just irritating them with more information they've decided they don't care about and don't want to hear, especially while watching a tv show. If it's for the non smokers, then it's just televised masturbation and reach arounds! "Hey, you don't smoke either? AWESOME! *high fives* We're so rad!"

I'm going to stop there for now or I'll start foaming at the mouth.

When people brag excessively

[Drum Thumper]

International Shipping. I want to get back to work on Frank, and I wanted to do it yesterday. Can't do a damn thing until my 3mm leds show up.

Also, I cannot stand ignorant pet owners. I had a customer today who left her dog in her car for a good 1/2 hour while she shopped. 95 degrees F outside, probably a good 130 in the car. And all she did was leave the back windows down two inches, and that's a generous estimate on my part.

Had the Store Director been in today, she would have gotten 86'd. A number of people took her plate #, so I'm sure the Animal Division of the PD is involved as well.

know what i hate?

1. beautiful girls who think they're fat and ugly and whatnot.. my girlfriend is notorious for that..

2. my computer, when it told me i can't install DX9

[Indybird]

I probably be back but heres a few things off the top of my head:

-When an installer or similar process doesnt include a progress bar OR if the progess bar and percentage get to 100% and it sits there for another 5 minutes.

-When people take turns in their car really slow

-When people honk their horn for any reason other than protecting themselves or someone else

-When a smoker sits down next to you in a restaurant (I know they have every right to, I still don't like it)

-People who think they are funny by yelling things out of their car window as they drive by you (no matter what you are doing)

-People who stop in the middle of a hallway and start talking to someone

-When people bring their babies into a movie; the baby will cry and it will annoy everyone. A babysitter is like $5 an hour (so thats $10 for a regular movie), and if you don't want to leave your baby with someone, thats your own decision.

-Customers at a store who think they deserve special treatment

-Customers who don't understand that an employee at a store can not bend the rules, or that an employee does not have the ability (according to the company) to do something

-People who let their small children run loose: they can break things, annoy people, or get kidnapped. Just not safe at all.

-Spammers who waste massive amounts of internet bandwidth and 99.9% their message will never be seen

-People who interrupt you in the middle of your sentence to correct your grammar or pronunciation

-Extreme believers; believing in anything too much (albeit religion, philosophies, etc..) is unhealthy for everyone

-Racists

-People who "jump on the bandwagon" before they fully realize what it is all about and then defend it until the end of time

Phew, I'm just full of negativity. I've probably got a few more, I'll be back.

I really think that telling people about the things you dislike helps ease your frustration.
