Anyone who tells me what to eat. Scuse me, I often have to eat what I can afford. I might eat rice and beans one week and pork chops the next, but unless you high and mighty types with your ideas about a perfect world and a small planet diet are willing to foot my grocery bill, STFU already. Also, telling me where to shop. Yeah, I know all the arguments against Wally World but if you’re on a limited budget you still have to eat and buy clothes and sometimes that’s the best option. ---

> [@Risha](#): > > And I don’t hate him, but I also don’t get the nation’s love for Dane Cook. Another one for Dane Cook. I just don’t get him. Any time I’ve seen a trailer for one of his concerts it’s full of adoring crowds and him saying/doing things that don’t strike me as the least bit funny. I’ve tried to watch some of his act and it falls flat on me. The Onion did a parody of him, here we go: [http://www.theonion.com/content/news/dane\_cook\_parlays\_new\_burger\_king](http://www.theonion.com/content/news/dane_cook_parlays_new_burger_king) Remember Stone Phillips? He might have been a wonderful guy but I could not STAND his news “act”. That squinty attempt at a smiling, friendly Dirty Harry expression and that little tightening of the eyes with an angled glance and short nod? Grrrrraaaaggggghhhh. ---

Hypocrites about anything. Just to mention one in particular, people who go nuts at the thought of homosexuality because they think it is a sin and yet think nothing of heterosexual fornication or adultery. ---

> [@Sleeps\_With\_Butterflies](#): > > I’d say MOST of these examples seem to be given with good reasons. Very odd. Well, the OP isn’t clear on what “no good reason” actually means. Does it mean you hate the people for a BAD reason? Or simply no reason at all? Also, “hate, strongly dislike, are tired of, whatever” cover a wide range of sentiments, and “whatever” could be anything. I can’t find it in my psyche to actually hate some celebrity like Britney Spears just because she’s a nutcase who gets a lot of unwarranted attention. She doesn’t affect me enough personally to arouse hatred, or even annoyance. I might hate her if she were the only person on TV, though. On the other hand, hatred could be the public side of envy, considering that most of these celebrities make a lot of money, and get a lot of attention. ---

People who tell me, or some close variant, that, “I just read \_\_\_\_. You’ll love it.” Well, there’s no real reason for me to read it anymore since I apparently loved it, huh? Thank for you for deciding that one for me! People who can’t shut the fuck in movie theaters. Yes, I know you paid for your ticket too. So, go waste your money elsewhere and let me enjoy what I’ve spent. People who can’t differentiate their, they’re and there, your, and you’re, or who write “alot [sic]”. It’s quite annoying to see grown adults whose sole purpose it is, I can only surmise, is to show off their second grade writing skills. People who mispronounce vituperative. Phew, are they annoying?! ---

The Rush Limbaugh clone I work with. He’s fat, late forties, loves guns, loves TV about guns, loves spy novels… Not that those are all bad traits, but he found out I used to work in military intelligence. I used to think that “That’s an oxymoron!” was the most tedious response I would ever get when someone found out, but this guy tops it. He assumes that, because I had a super tight clearance, I musta been a spy like James Bond, and therefore I must also be absolutely enamored of guns, political intrigue, military weapons systems, snipers, garrottes, and exotic cars. And he wastes no opportunity to corner me in my cubicle to regale me with the details of this latest novel he’s read on the Baguette family, or about how the DI on Discovery channel blew something up with a fountain pen that fires rocket-propelled depleted uranium sabots. This in spite of my insistence that violence makes me physically ill (His Christian sensibilities won’t cotton a viewing of “A Clockwork Orange”…and yet 'Weapons ‘O War’ is just fine), there’s good reason why I’m NOT in The Army anymore, and while I do believe gun ownership is rightly protected under the constitution, I don’t see the need to own a .50 cal handgun or a full-automatic assault rifle. If I thought he was cornering me just to annoy me, I’d appreciate his sly derisive wit. But he’s clueless. He’s enthralled by The Terrible, but he’s never left his hometown. He don’t know what’s Terrible. ---

Yes. I left it vague on purpose. So, go ahead and list reasons if you desire, or make it a simple list. Or anything in between. Just leave it as an IMHO thread, not a “I demand your reasons so I can debate” thread (which no one is doing, btw, so not really a problem). ---

CarrotTop. I thought it was just because he’s so painfully un-funny, but…I’m not really sure _what_ it is about the guy, but whenever I see him I have an almost overwhelming urge to kick him in the balls. ---
