Adding things to the list of things that suck as if the things themselves suck, rather than it’s just that the person making the list doesn’t like them.
Example (no offense against flavored tea haters, this is JUST an example!!), I hate lemon in ice tea, but love Raspberry Ice tea (diet that is).
Does Lemon flavored ice tea suck? NO! I just don’t happen to like it. Does Raspberry flavored tea suck? Apparently NOT or it wouldn’t be such a big seller for Lipton.
Does Rap suck? Well I hate it, but lots of people like it.
I think the list should stick to things that truly DO suck, like…
Taxes
Cold weather
Not enough money…etc
tlw, Pleated skirts? Why? What on EARTH is wrong with pleated skirts? I love them. Especially short ones under a long fitted jacket. With cool high high heels.
There has to be some personality to it. If everyone just put down Politicians instead of the particular ones that suck to them the list wouldn’t be too interesting or quite so big.

Sorry. I had a long weekend.
This board is home to some of the most intelligent, helpful, entertaining, funniest, and (dare I say) best looking people on the internet. This is not what sucks.
What sucks is that it is also home of some of the most arrogant, ignorant, immature, cliqish, rude, and self centered people on the internet.
My SDMB experience thus far has been very positive, but there certainly are some posters (regular posters, at that) who need to take themselves a whole lot less seriously.
With respect to fizgig:
Dog-sized Rats
My god man, what could you possibly have against three-hole punchers? They’re so damned useful? And what did brown gravy ever do to you, other than make dry white meat turkey edible, especially if you are drunk and stoned while listening to J5 with a coke?
But what if the rats are the size of rat-sized dogs? I suppose I might like the dogs if they were the size of dog-sized rats… hmm, I shall have to think on this. 
Sunburned genitalia
Projectile vomit
Weeds
I shall explain.
Caffeine: I enjoy a cup of tea before I go to bed. Caffiene keeps me awake, and thus limits my options. No late-night Earl Grey for me.
Jurassic 5: My college hosted these guys this weekend, and their music rattled my windows when I was trying to do classwork. I couldn’t concentrate.
Three-Hole Punchers: My three-hole puncher is not big enough for me to punch my musical scores for my choir. Thus, I had to do some manual acrobatics to hold my music within my folder for the concerts I had this weekend.
Getting Stoned: Perhaps getting stoned is sort of neat, but Stoned People are absolutely insufferable.
Getting Drunk: Again. Drunk People suck, at least the ones I’ve encountered.
Brown Gravy: Because white gravy is so much better, silly! :-p
