    You know what I really, really, REALLY hate?

    ...misused apostrophes and Comic Sans.

    "I love you," he said, and pulled the trigger.

    It's the worst font.

    Seriously, it's not like it's any harder than the difference between "your" and "you're." They're only used for contractions and possession, not plurals. Easy stuff.

    so much feels

    Anyway, I hate it when you're on the bus and people decide to sit next to you when there's plenty of totally free seats that aren't next to me.I just wanna say "please go away, I'm antisocial"

    "I love you," he said, and pulled the trigger.

    I see no difference between them besides a slight and purely aesthetic alteration. The alphabet is unchanged. The language is unchanged. Every possible expression of that alphabet in text is unchanged with the possible exception of a few memetic expressions.

    How can such insignificance garner such ire?

    Presentation is just as important as the message you're writing. Aesthetics are important. Comic Sans is just an ugly font, and using it lowers the quality of whatever it's used to write, whether it's a business letter or an actual comic.

    I mean really, there are so many better fonts out there.

    On-topic: I hate dwelling on things I hate. I prefer to just ignore them and not think about them.
