What do you hate?

[Blademaster]

Because they haven't had the Kenny gimmick in almost half a decade (if not more).

I honestly cannot fathom the irony of the fact that it was right around the time that the show stopped regularly killing Kenny when the show in turn began killing itself.

I used to have the DVD's of the first five seasons, and I remember sometime in the fifth season Kenny died 'for real.' Most of South Park's simpler/more original plots occupied the earlier seasons; Season 6 was around the time that the town of South Park itself became little more than a caricature-izing machine that every new political, environmental, and celebrity event would find itself chucked into and have the edginess cranked up to 11.

Not to say that pre-Season 6 South Park never did similar things. Pokemon, rainforest conservation, and even 9/11 itself were used as the cruxes of a few episodes. Hell, the Kenny-(kinda)dies-for-real episode was itself focused largely on stem cell controversy.

Still, I do miss the old South Park now and then...

WHY YOU LITTLE BASTARD, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!

...What's The Coma Theory?

[Kumori]

You know what I really, really, REALLY hate?

...misused apostrophes and Comic Sans.

Comic Sans

This.

It's the worst font.

(Spoiler:) Papyrus is a close second.

I gotta admit, I have no idea what it is either. I even tried looking it up on Wikipedia and I didn't get anything.

Really? Nobody knows about the Pokémon Coma Theory? The one that states that when Ash was struck by lightning on the first episode of the anime he fell into a coma and said theory gives a ridiculously detailed explanation of almost every event and every person that's come up in his comatose state and how it connects to every episode, except Chronicles, and every movie of the Pokémon anime thus far?

[Kumori]

I cried a little while reading the Coma Theory. I DON'T WANNA BELIEVE IT

[Dark Sage]

Well, I don't believe it. Yeah, I've heard about it, and I think it's one the dumbest things that anime fans have ever thought up, right up there with the theory that Mike Huckabee was funding 4kids.

[DarkestLight]

Pokemon coma forever!

[Knight of Time]

Well, I have my own share of pet peeves...not a whole lot here, but there are a few that stand out for me.

-my dad's tendency to cause problems for the family...sometimes he is a good father, but sometimes, he isn't as good a father as he should be...he's done things in the past to create mental and/or emotional pain, and unfortunately, he still does these kinds of things from time to time. Let's just say that he can be difficult to trust 100% of the time (thankfully, I'm glad I don't live with him since he remarried and lives with his second wife and her two sons, because my life would not be as happy for me if I did live with him).

-when restaurants get an order wrong or partially wrong, such as putting too much or not enough of a particular ingredient/topping/condiment on something, or adding an unwanted ingredient/topping/condiment.

-tobacco smoke...I'm not against people who smoke in one way or another (heck, some of the people I know in RL smoke, which I don't mind as long as they don't smoke near me), but it's more the smoke that bothers me than the smoker(s)...when it comes to smoke (whether it's second hand or third hand smoke), I try to get away from its source as quickly as possible, because I like having crisp air I can breathe around me...after all, since it is possible for a non-smoker (I've never smoked in my life) to get lung cancer as an example, it's something I definitely don't want to have in my later years, like what happened to my late grandfather's twin brother, who smoked a pipe for years and eventually died of lung cancer.

[Kumori]

I hate the smell of cigarettes, really. It's horrible. My dad smokes in the car and then I get stuck with the horrible smell until I get to school.

[Oslo]

Well, I don't believe it. Yeah, I've heard about it, and I think it's one the dumbest things that anime fans have ever thought up

Surely you're capable of telling the difference between an actual theory and a fun little tongue-in-cheek joke...?

Anyway, I'd never heard of it before. I read it through and lol'd. Very thorough. Good work, random person. Oslo approves.

[classy_cat18]

Cigarette smoke also tends to cling to you, your hair and your clothes. It takes a good wash or a lot of air to get rid of the smell.

[Kumori]

*grabs a million deodorants* IT'S ON!

Yeah, when my parents used to have to smoke inside the house my dad (I live with my stepdad) would always complain when I went to see him that my clothes reeked of smoke...

[Jeff]

misused apostrophes

This.

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.

[Kumori]

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"

[classy_cat18]

You know what really grinds my gears? Hater gamers. Gamers that aren't satisfied no matter what people try. People want more of one series, they complain that it's getting "tiresome" and they want something new. They try something new and original, but that doesn't really please them either. I know that you can't please everyone, but it gets ridiculous!

[Blademaster]

Comic Sans

I have never understood the derision of Comic Sans. It's a font. A lot of things that people hate are hard to justify, but something as trivial as the stylized representation of the alphabet through pixels? Really, are there people that are actually THAT petty unironically?

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

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?

[Oslo]

Because it's ugly.

[Kumori]

And I hate it when people use it in a serious letter. It's meant to be taken seriously, so why not type it in a serious font like Arial or something instead of using an ugly comic font?!

[Dark Sage]

Know what really grinds my gears? Orly Taitz. Know what crazy claim she's made now? Get this.

You may know about her long-held claim that the President is using a Social Security number that he stole from someone in Connecticut (and ignores documented proof that says otherwise). Well, now she claims that she's found some law that says if three Connecticut residents file a complaint of some sort, she has the authority to arrest him if he enters the state. She also says that she has three supporters in Connecticut, and plan to do just that if he does.

Who the hell approved this woman passing the California bar? What she claims to do sounds more like the crime of impersonating a police officer to me. She and her "three supporters" obviously don't realize that if she even tried it, the Secret Service will arrest THEM.

The scary part about this woman is the fact that somewhere in this country there's a medical supply company that actually sells nitrous oxide to her. If they trust THIS woman with such chemicals, who else do they trust with it?

Know what grinds my gears even more? The fact that no respectable Republican (I use the term loosely) will stand up to this bitch and the rest of the Birthers and tell them off like the lunatics they are. You know why they won't do that? Because they're afraid of losing votes from the ultra-conservatives whose dumb ideas put the Tea Party into office and made the GOP the disorganized mess it is now. And these jerks wonder why they lost the election.

[Kumori]

I've never heard of this lady before, but she sounds pretty insane to me.

Also, what grinds my gears is people going in to schools to talk about their religion, then passing it off as absolute truth. There are people listening who aren't of that religion, and are of another, forced to listen as if this was the truth. I'm an atheist, and every time someone tells me something religious as if it was the truth, I get quite annoyed.

[Dark Sage]

I've never heard of this lady before, but she sounds pretty insane to me.

A very common view of Taitz, I assure you. Taitz (known as the "Birther Queen" a dubious title to anyone except Birthers) is a lawyer-slash-dentist-slash-realtor from California on a crusade to prove that Mr. Obama was not born in this country, and thus is not eligible to be President.

Thus far, her crusade has been a complete failure. Only one judge so far has even granted her a hearing, and at the hearing, despite the fact that Mr. Obama did not answer the supoenia (he was not required to, despite what she believed) and did not send a defense team, the judge ruled against her. Every other judge has thrown her cases out. Some have fined her, and the last one threatened to hold her in contempt if she ever did this in California again. (Given the fact she called him a traitor, she was lucky he didn't throw her ass in jail right then.)

The thing is, people like her don't realize how absurd their claims are, and I'll explain why.

In order for the Birther claims to be true, It would require either a) planning by "Them" going back a half-century (due to the fact that Honolulu newspapers reported his birth) At a time when the idea of an African-American President was laughable, as well as A lot of natural charm, brilliance, and political success by their supposed puppet to become elected fifty years later, or b) Mr. Obama not only forging His long-form birth certificate (a common claim among Birthers) but also fabricating those newspaper announcements, fabricating his college records, and bribing or fooling every immigration official and election official in the country.

If he could do that, do you think he'd have as much trouble with Congress as he does?

Other things that Birthers claim include: Because Mr. Obama's father held dual citizenship, the same applies to Mr. Obama, making him ineligible (the Constitution says nothing of the sort, And even if it did, the 14th Amendment would override it); some say that his mother had renounced her citizenship, and by doing so, had renounced his as well (she never did, and even if she had, it would not have affected his) that a trip by him to Pakistan in 1981 could only have been accomplished by a foreign passport due to a travel ban between the two countries (no such ban actually existed), and that his enrollment in a school in Indonesia as a child could only have been done if he was not a citizen at the time (the ruling in the Perkins vs Elg case says differently).

In the end, the true motivation of Birthers is quite simple: racism. Most of these people are old coots who can't stand to see an African-American man in the White House, so they spout this nonsense. Fortunately, no-one takes them seriously any more.

[Lady Vulpix]

What do I hate? Injustice and cruelty, above all. Deceit is pretty high up my hate list too.

I also hate it when others need help and I can't do anything to help them.

[Crystal Tears]

I gave my hate list a rating system…

• Getting blame for something I didn’t do (this happens a lot). HATE
• Artist’s Block Dislike
• Writer’s Block Dislike
• Picky Eaters (specifically, if you haven’t tried the food before you said you don’t like it. Grow some balls and try it.) HATE
• Doctors Annoying
• Lying Dislike
• Cancer LOATHE

[Heald]

This thread and this mentality. I think this thread has probably become the most active thread in recent history in Misc by post count per day, and skimming through some of the posts, I am sad to see that it's a thread like this that generates such activity. Dislike.

Becki's thread is so much what I'm looking for.

[Dark Sage]

Heald, read my first post on this thread. It was my way of saying the same thing.

And seriously, I've tried to keep everything I've said here with a dose of humor. (Even the stuff about Ms. Taitz. I just love when a story about her comes up, because I always get a big laugh out of it.)

[DarkestLight]

That's why Im glad this thread was made. Positivity is greagtand all, but overlooking what negatives you harbor does not make them go away. I feel that objectively putting them down and actually having them spelled out in front of you helps one to find a way to either resolve the hate or truly step away from it.

So saying this thread and its topic is something you hate is great. Because its a realistic expression of human nature, its the truth behind the guise of all that we love :/ We can't have one without the other-and I think people often forget that and try to focus on the positive so much that they leave themselves open to be hurt when it comes falling down.

But that could just be me being pragmatic.

[Kumori]

I hate rainy and windy days when the wind blows the rain right into your face... I hate being wet - I'm okay with my face or such being wet or maybe my hands or so but I hate my hair being wet so much... My hair is thick and absorbs water like a sponge.

[Oslo]

Agreeing with Darkly!

I hate faceted classification. Omg why do you exist. Why are you so boring to research. Just stop it.

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.

[Dark Sage]

I just heard a story on the news about how it was Groundhog Day (something that had slipped my mind) and how Punxsutawney Phil had reported an early spring.

That reminded me of another thing I hate. Can someone please explain to me what the point of this is?

Especially since, apparently, Phil has a 39% success rate. Very poor for a guy who works one day a year. It's a wonder he still has a job.

It's tradition. People look forward to the little guy.

Well... if we didn't have the holiday Groundhog Day, we probably wouldn't have the movie Groundhog Day?

[Dark Sage]

Good point.

And if they didn't have that movie, no-one would know about Punxsutawney Phil except the folks who actually live in Punxsutawney.

That little guy owes a lot to Bill Murry, you gotta admit.

I hate when people are mean for no reason other than to be mean. I'm rather thick-skinned, so when people are snide or rude to me, I don't get easily upset. But, I do have zero tolerance for general nastiness for the sake of nastiness.

I also hate Papyrus font, too XD
