I hate when I get in the shower and the water is too hot so I turn it down a bit but because my body has been covered in hot water already the new cooler water feels cold even though it is still too hot so I am simultaneously too hot and too cold. I hate that. Worst feeling in the world.

89% of people on Craigslist should be put in front of a machine gun and hosed down like the filth they are.

I hate people that think that atheism is a belief system. It's the equivalent of saying that not believing in Santa Claus is a belief system.

People that stop at the white line while waiting to make a left turn.

Look ye, Starbuck, all visible objects are but as pasteboard masks. Some inscrutable yet reasoning thing puts forth the molding of their features. The white whale tasks me; he heaps me. Yet he is but a mask. 'Tis the thing behind the mask I chiefly hate; the malignant thing that has plagued mankind since time began; the thing that maws and mutilates our race, not killing us outright but letting us live on, with half a heart and half a lung.

People that don't hug the yellow line while waiting to make a left turn.

People who don't go right away when they get a green left turn arrow. Those arrows are on a short cycle; if you're at the front of the line, you owe it to the people behind you to pay attention and go as soon as it turns green!

For that matter... people who don't pay fucking attention while driving, i.e. about 50% of people.

People/drivers are are not indicating. People who fire swear words at me, just because I drove past. People who swear at me after I crash into their vehicles.
Police who are rude, and seem to chase me with the slightest provocation. Anyway enough of my gta five playing.

Heh, on that subject...

Drivers who get mad at YOU after they do something stupid because they weren't paying attention. I was pulling out of my alley the other day and a woman turned onto the street, approaching me. I stopped because I didn't want to hit her. She wasn't looking and kept driving down the MIDDLE of the street on a collision course with my stopped car. I honked at her and she swerves over and starts yelling at me.

Pay fucking attention. Holy shit.

People who not only tolerate crappy food, but prefer it.

Living in the Midwest, there are a lot of people like that. Mostly in my wife's family.

I hear that. I have relatives in the central south and they are, well, awful cooks AND proud of it. Years ago I introduced my then newlywed to them and they prepared a special meal. You take ketchup, melted margarine and lots of salt then pour it over chicken parts and bake it in the oven. That was "BBQ chicken"

No sir, we didn't like it.

ok...you really want to know what I hate?

I hate whoever invented BGA soldering. I hate whoever decided that .3mm balls would be a good idea to make a connection. I hate whoever made the screen that I'm using because there is so much static on it that the balls stick to the screen instead of the pins. I hate whoever invented tacky flux and didn't add a magic ingredient to make it not stick to skin. I hate the whole idea of BGA soldering, everything associated with it and I think the person who thought it up should have a red hot steel rod jammed up his anus.

One star reviews on sites such as Amazon, for the most crazy/silly/ridiculous reasons.

Examples (may not all of been 1 star):

Normal sized microwave purchased, VERY annoyed because it won't take their biggest dish. (They should have measured it and checked the dimensions before purchase).

Medium sized microwave, would not fit into the tiny cuby hole between their cooker and cupboard (again, if you want it to fit in a small gap, CHECK the dimensions).

Driver reviewing a tiny sized car, and complaining that it would NOT take 3 baby seats abreast in the back. (Tiny cars are TINY).

1 star game reviews, badly berating the game (and it is NOT even released yet, so they are basing everything on rumours that they have heard and/or a demo or demo-video).

People who say "legos".

I haven't seen a zip bomb for ages.
Yep, they're morons. It's LEGOs. The company's name is all capitalized.
LEGO blocks refers to a bunch of the little blocks manufactured by LEGO. But, despite what some pansy-asses think, LEGOs is the colloquial word used to describe a bunch of those blocks. Or LEGO models. Or LEGO sculptures.


Anyway:
Loud unnecessary noise, especially modified exhaust systems to make a car sound "cooler." You don't sound cooler, you sound like a douchebag who has a hole in the exhaust.

People who litter. You know who you are. I told you before, quit throwing your empty can of Busch lite out the window onto the side of the road along my property. Apparently, I'm going to have to leave a manure sculpture with some cans of Busch Lite at the top of the sculpture in the middle of your driveway.

Idiots - people who have formed a solid, unchanging opinion about something which they barely even have superficial knowledge of. Sadly, this applies to a significant percentage of the voting public. If you've barely ever finished high school, if that, we don't care what you think about national economic policy. Take a few courses in economics and maybe you can form some sort of coherent reasoning for your position.

Exactly. I hate people that think we are going to let Denmark dictate to us how the English language should work.
