Weird Things You Have No Reason To Hate But You Do
I hate velvet and all velvet byproducts. Just the thought makes my teeth hurt, like chewing on tin foil.

2. Denim
Don't know why, I just hate the way it looks on me. I have not owned a pair of jeans in about 6 years, khaki all the way!

3. Post-It notes.
I hate the aesthetic of them, and usually what's written on them, too.

4. Any chocolate/fruit combo
To me, the two are great separately, but I hate them when they are mixed!

6. I hate
talking on the phone. It seems impersonal to me and boring, but I suppose so is posting on a forum. I am a man of contradictions and I hate that too!

30. Hey!
I hate talking on the phone too! And as a woman, people expect me to love it or something.

I'd rather claw my face off, I hate it.

Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 11:56 PM by SemiCharmedQuark
The mullet should never be allowed to reign again. The lowriders are nasty too...I miss the sexiness of someone's asscrack. Also it's disgusting when they leave a sweat-line on a bus seat or something.

17. I saw some at Hot Topic
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 12:37 AM by WakeMeUp
One was a John Deere hat. I asked the clerk how much they were selling it for. She said, "$15." $15 for a hat you can get for free? My dad used to work for a John Deere salesman, so he has a ton of hats. He's sitting on a goooold mine! :D

Edit for spelling. I can never type when it is late!

16. Rich people.
No reason, I just do.

"Hi, I'm Tom Ridge, and I can't send my kids to college on $175,000 a year..."

What's not to hate?

22. I kind of do too, but there's a reason
Every rich person I ever met was either horribly naive or a pompous ass. All of them believe that you to can be rich if you would just work harder, even if they inherited every red cent.

28. Agree.
All the rich people I know inherited their money, and they assume everyone gets rich when close relatives die. When my father-in-law passed away, a woman I know blabbered on and on about how my husband and I were going to have to pay big taxes. It never dawned on her that the man struggled all his life just to make ends meet, and died with a small bank account and an old house in need of a lot of repairs.

Another wealthy woman I know tried to cajole me into signing my daughter up with hers for a summer day camp that cost almost $400.00 a week. When I told her I couldn't afford it, she was truly shocked.

Rich people - even if they inherit the money - lose sight of the fact that most people live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford the luxuries they take for granted.

29. 175k per year is rich?
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 02:50 AM by slutticus
Whatever. (well...compared to me it is)

Ridge is a fucking idiot if he can't manage that money in an effective manner to send 2 kids through school. I know someone who sent 4 kids to college with HALF THAT!!! It was hell...but it was done.

34. I don't make even 40 kilobucks.
You had better believe I consider 175 kilobucks "rich".

That's what burns me, a rich fucker saying "Oh, I'm not 'Rich', I'm just 'Middle Class', I only made $156,000 last year!"

Maybe he should look again at the gate on his "Gated Community" and ask if it'll withstand an angry mob busting it down.

35. I don't like going to a movie theater.
The last movie I saw in a theater was "ET" when it first came out (25± years ago). And that was before cell phones and beepers. You couldn't pay me to go to a movie now.
