1) I hate synthetic thread in clothing

2) also I hate pyramid schemes :)

3) I hate nails dragging across a chalk board...

4) Normally not a hater, well, of people anyway. However, I despise stupidity, and there is a lot of this out there! Oh, and I currently hate snot, and there is a lot of THAT in my house. *ugh*

5) I say booo to DCHRRYWD

6) I hate coconut and crunchy pears.

7) I hate being poor while other people get rich, so I'm going to start a pyramid scheme.

8) I hate clothing tags, and I can't figure out why companies think it's somehow less offensive when the put them in the seam down the side of the shirt instead of the back of the neck. They should be outlawed.

9) I hate 4 hour work meetings, I just got out of one. And headaches, I hate headaches. I have one of those right now.

10) I hate slow walkers during rush hour on the quad. Seriously, do they not see the other 100,000 people around them trying to get somewhere?

And like Courtney, I hate spam (in all its various forms....it generally tends to cause havoc in otherwise friendly communities and major arteries.)

11) I hate work and SPAMMERS. I will track that mother down no doubt. We have their IP, they will wish they never found us. They will be 0wn3d.

Thanks for the bump Courtney!

12) I also hate when you find hair or other items in your food. Like one day I got Subway, and the finger of a disposable glove was in the middle of the sandwich. Like don't you realize when you are making a sandwich and part of the glove rips off that it is missing?

13) DC tourists ... like the kind that crowd the museums with there cameras and get ALL UP in the glass case to take a picture...check it...delete it, take another, rinse wash repeat. Sometimes they even outstretch their elbows to make sure they have the room they need.

14) ewwww i just threw up a little in my mouth

15) Oh Niki, did I ever tell you of the time I was eating a half gallon of Hagan ice cream and I chewed on what I thought was a piece of ice till it didn't melt...and when I pulled it out of my mouth I realized it was a dirty thumb nail (it was obviously someone just ripped/chewed off) and it dropped into the vat and ended up in my half gallon?

My mom called them and they sent us 6 coupons for free half gallons of Hagan. Like, all I can picture is the guy going "whoops" looking into the vat and shrugging his shoulders. Ew.

16) O

Hayley! I am so sorry you had to experience that - that might be one of the grossest things I've ever heard.

17) Like Courtney, I hate stupid people. I just encountered a fun bunch of them at the tire shop this afternoon and blogged about it.

I sense a frustrated mood on humzoo today.

18) Haha. Thanks Casey. It was like 8 years ago, but it's definitely one of the grossest things that's happened to me.

19) I hate slow highway drivers who hang out in the left lane when they're not passing anyone. GET OVER. I honestly believe this should be considered a capital crime. Oh, and I hate pyramid schemes. But I would like to know more about crunchy pears.

20) I hate unannounced mass transit closings.

21) I just thought of another one cause I just had to do it - I hate folding fitted sheets. They usually end up looking worse than when they came out of the dryer.

22) I hate folding clothes in general Sally. Its the worst part of doing laundry! I can wash crap all day, but when it comes to folding it I usually just warm it up a bunch of times first before I ever get around to it.

23) I hate smokers who smoke while walking down the street so you get to have passive smoke to breath the entire walk to the bus. Stand still and smoke or wait until you stop to light up! The rest of us would like to breath better while we try to get a little extra exercise.

24) I hate Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds. They are jerks, they're rude, and they're liars. They both know they took performance-enhancing drugs. Everybody else knows that, too. What's that smell? Oh yeah! The Feds are coming!

25) I hate when people don't use their turn signal.

26) Sally I am so on board with the left lane drivers! When I drive to MN from here Joe and I used to go through Wisconsin. THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THAT! It was so awful and so frustrating, we started driving through Iowa to get away from them (and it took less time).

27) I hate close talkers. People that constantly cross the line of invading your personal space while carrying on in regular conversation. Some people just like to be on top of you.... Wierd!!!!!!

28) I thought of something else. I hate when people who are obviously not handicapped, have a handicapped parking tag and park in those spaces. This lady that rides my bus is late every morning and runs from her handicap parking space to the bus. I am thinking she is not handicap. And if the tag is for someone else in her family she really does not need to use it when she is by herself.

29) Those left-lane drivers should have their tires shot out, Sally. Besides, there is a law in Illinois that fines them for that, if they're caught cruising there for a certain period of time. Oh, and I also used to hate folding fitted sheets, but then, I learned from the best: Martha Stewart - works like a charm!

30) I hate when parking lots in front of businesses have their entire front row dedicated to handicapped parking. I mean, how many people are handicapped? I am sure it is less than the 10% spots that are reserved for handicapped people.

31) For real, what is the deal with Wisconsin drivers? They always hang out in the left lane. And I don't think I've ever seen a WI car go above 70mph. I've heard of that law Angi, but it seems like our cops are more concerned with busting people for going 5 miles above the speed limit than cracking down on those left-lane loving asshats who are a much bigger safety hazard.

Denny - I'm with you. If someone ever invents a mechanized laundry folder, he or she will be a rich person.

32) I hate fruit in cake. That is something I cannot take. Nice little rhyme for goodness sake.

33) Tonight on the bus reminded me about how I hate people using the cell phone on the bus and then looking at you like you are intruding upon their conversation. Where are you supposed to go? How are you supposed to turn off your hearing? I can live with the ones who talk quietly and do not disturb the other riders but we have had people who have volatile personal arguments with family/friends or talk very loud so we can't avoid hearing them even with headsets on. And to be honest it is just as annoying if someone talks to others really loud but the ones with cell-phones seem to do it more frequently and annoy more riders.

34) LGrant,

This is a true story, I swear. I was on the L in Chicago a few years ago and some kid called up his girlfriends father and asked him if he could marry his daughter. The girls father obviously did not care for this kid as the kid said, " Yes sir I understand, but I already went through rehab and am applying for a job at Walmart right now.". Obviously the conversation did not go well as the kid hung up the phone then immediately called his girlfriend and told her that her Dad told him NO!........it was too funny.....The kid was talking very load as the L is quite the noisy ride.

35) RickMonday, that is a very funny story. I ride the bus to and from work, and a few months ago there was a guy on the bus sitting right behind me doing a phone interview. He was extremely loud and the bus was full, but everyone was silent except for him. It then got to the point where they were asking for salary requirements and then he had to tell them what he currently made now, and let me tell you for a business professional he made a teacher's salary. I was kind of embarrassed for the guy, but then I thought he was an idiot for taking a phone interview on the bus ride home!

36) I used to commute from Elmhurst to Chicago on the Metra. And I absolutely hated the people with those stupid walkie-talkie type cell phones. Who came up with that?! It's bad enough to hear one side of the conversation, as some of you know. It was even worse hearing both sides and that lovely beep in between.
