Things that I hate

[Wil]

Straining my lower back muscles.

Was totally worth it, though, for all the fun I had yesterday.

When I'm typing on my laptop and the cursor, for no apparent reason, suddenly moves up to the top of the page so that I start typing in the middle of another sentence. So then my fluency is interrupted, I have to edit the paragraph that the cursor went to and remember what I was trying to say in the sentence I was originally typing.

Anyone know what might be causing that?

[Jayelle]

Do you have a touchpad that you may be accidentally touching?

[BonitoDeMadrid]

I hate Athlete's Foot. I also hate the fact that I'm too lazy to do something about that Athlete's Foot.

Nowadays, I hate most stuff in general.

[Gravity Defier]

I hate that it will likely take the maximum possible 21 business days for a book I ordered on February 6th and that was shipped February 9th to get here.

It's coming to AZ from NC, not Antarctica. How does it even come to 21 days, let alone business days? I think the Post Office has to deliberately hold onto it and maybe send it back and forth across the country a few times for that to make any sort of sense. Grrr. Grrr, I say.

wtf? how does that even happen? though my brother order a backpack, and he was tracking it on the USPS website (I think that's who it was sent through) and it was making it's way up the east coast, made it to MA, and then detoured out to Wisconsin before coming back to VT

clogged toilets

tickets for expired vehicle registration

whatever it is that hangs my computer when the battery is plugged in, and or all services are enabled from msconfig. AIM isn't working now. hell the shutdown menu doesn't even load. I have a new version of bios waiting to install it and, nope it won't install, a fine little error that I"ll have to get on the horn with dell tomorrow for them to explain to me. :-p

[Gravity Defier]

Hearing my brother and our unwanted roommate having sex a few times a week. I know people have it but I don't want to hear it. Especially when it involves a relative. Bah.

Oh, and having my lying, manipulative brother back home because he lied about going to Phoenix to have the skin grafts done; they need to be done here...supposedly. There went my peace, just like that.

The new to me milk cap security thingies. Before it was just a tab thing you separated from the actual cap. Now it's that, plus a seal you have to pull off the opening. I can't ever pull the damn seal off.

buy some nice speakers, and whenever you hear it start turning them up gradually louder. Hopefully they'll get the hint and learn to be quiet At the very least you'll be able to drown it out.

[Eaquae Legit]

People who don't understand pool etiquette.

When the cream curdles in my coffee.

Cold toes.

That would interfere with my mother's sleep since it tends to happen after midnight each time; absolutely not an option.

ETA: I should note here that I don't just sit there and listen because I can't drown them out with speakers. I shut the door and listen to my MP3 player. It's just unpleasant to discover they're at it again when trying to enjoy the silence I can't get during the day.

[3nder]

when ever i hear that sort of thing in my house i go out the back and light a nice massive fire in my fire pit and the crackling of the mozzies and moths flying into the fire is enough do drown anything out

[elfprince13]

mozzies

That word. I HATE IT. That's now the second time I've seen it used, and it makes me want to strangle something/and or saw off the fingers of the person who typed it.

I have never heard it before in my life. Is it supposed to refer to mosquitos? Because those I do hate.

[elfprince13]

Yes, it is.

Don't be silly. All she needs is an elliptical dish and a partner.

Edit:

The term 'Teetotalism'. Nothing against them, but that word just sounds so very stupid in my head. I'd never heard of it before, and when I first saw it, I didn't think it was a real term. I thought the author was intentionally making some babytalk-ish text or something.

Well played sir!

I hate people being stupid stubborn jerks about things that, in all honesty, do not matter. I hate having to mediate between these people, or the fact that I stupidly expect them not to be stupid stubborn jerks, magically, when I am having a good day. I really, really hate the frustration that comes along with being either a coworker or a friend of said people, and I wish there was a way to actually make them want to change, something that is really too much to expect from one who is stupidly stubborn.

These people are the reason that my eight-hour school days don't seem long until the last, two hour class.

[zeroguy]

Being stupid when looking for bugs. It just... it just wastes so much time.

[powerfulcheese04]

Cleaning ceiling fans.

It was clear upon moving in that my ceiling fan hasn't been cleaned in a long, long time. I used it last summer... but... after a winter of collecting more dust, I really don't want to turn it on without dusting it first... but, ew.

Protip: Use the vacuum.

[powerfulcheese04]

I don't know that I can get my vacuum up there. I was thinking about using a swiffer cloth.

[elfprince13]

hose vacuums ftw.

[Wil]

hose vacuums ftw.

^5

[powerfulcheese04]

My vacuum has a hose, or I would never vacuum my stairs... but, I don't think it can be long enough to get to the ceiling fan.

[Wil]

How high is your ceiling fan?!

[powerfulcheese04]

It's more that the hose only has a 3 or 4 foot range... and my ceiling fan is at ceiling height...

[Wil]

Put the vacuum on a chair or something.

[elfprince13]

I realize this is the I hate thread, but I love shop vacs.

also, I hate crypticness and working on a huge hobby project and then not having anyone actually care when I want to show it off.

[locke]

having a runny nose which means no going to the gym. :-p

[buckshot]

I hate the mouse that keeps breaking into my office ! It keeps finding my top secret snack stashes.

[Mich]

I hate not having anything to threaten my classmates with. The grades don't matter, as everyone will get an A, they all have other things to put in their portfolios, and I don't pay them. So, really, when I lay out a list of things that I need, very specifically, with detailed instructions on how to do anything I'm not sure they understand, and they all give me a completely mixed bag of correct items, there's absolutely nothing I can do about it except be a whiner. Instructor doesn't care, my grade (really) doesn't matter, but I can't leave projects unfinished, and when they don't do these few things it makes my job that previous would take one night take two or three full days to finish their unfinished work.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!

That happened to me years ago. I started keeping my office snacks in sealed tupperware.

[neo-dragon]

I hate the fact that my students aren't going to be able to see a faint white precipitate because we only have white spot plates! Damn it people, there's a reason why transparent spot plates exist!

it does mean mosquitos, it's just Australian slang i can't help it.
please don't chop off my fingers
