I think most people missed the point of this thread. The title was “People you hate for no good reason.”

I hate the new guy who works in the coffee shop in my building. No reason for it, and I have no idea why.

I’ve always hated Prince Charles, also for no reason.

Uh, what? You hate when people suggest things to you because they think you’ll like it? Well, that really does qualify as not a good reason.

Okay. Well I hate people who walk in groups of three (or more) on a sidewalk all in a row, very slowly, so that it’s impossible to get by without being forced to beg for their permission.

I dislike [these bicycles](http://i30.tinypic.com/71i45w.jpg) and the people who ride them in the city. A city bike should have a luggage carrier, and decent sized (i.e. not fricking wide) tires dammit.

Yeah, I kept wondering if I’d read that wrong because it seems pretty innocuous.

I’m bucking a trend with this, but I loathe Flo, the Progressive Insurance flogger.

On television there’s a female cook (or “chef,” if you will) that is kind of bird-shaped and has horrible, horrible, bleached hair in a truly awful style. I can’t think of her name, and although I could just Google it, I’m afraid I’d have to look at her and be traumatized. She just rubs me wrong in some way. Can’t stand her.

I hate people who stand still on escalators instead of walking. Arguably, there’s a reason for hating them, but it’s irrational and so I thought I’d throw it in.

Do cats count? I hate them for no good reason at all. Not all felines of the species, mind you; just the domestic and ferel versions of the common house cat.

A supplier representative of mine. He’s never done anything wrong to me, he’s always nice, but there’s just something about him that makes me not want to ever have anything to do with him.

Good call. I hate her too.

Everyone on Bravo’s \*NYC Prep \*show. I saw a few minutes of it last night but left the room after getting sick.
