What non-political thing do you detest the most?

[MrScorpio]

I detest peanut butter cookies and people eating crunchy things next to my ears.

I detest them both equally.

[tk2kewl]

1. people who clip their fingernails in public

[Lokey]

31. me too!!

Had a co-worker clipping the other day. I was cringing and trying not to gag the whole time. Do that stuff at home! Bleck

[Jade Fox]

47. Oh, gawd yes!

Co-workers, girl sitting next to me on a plane.

[valerief]

2. Reeking cologne. Tailgaters. Hmm, it's a toss-up. nt

[LeftinOH]

3. Those thumping, earth shaking car audio systems

or any "muiscal" noise blaring from passing cars. I want their cars to explode and them to die in a fire.

[MicaelS]

7. YES!!!

Every time I encounter one, I wish for an EMP device to fry their entire car's electronics.

[OriginalGeek]

12. But if you can't hear my music

how will you know how awesome my musical taste is?











(lol)

[geardaddy]

4. People who text and walk.

Idiots.

[Kennah]

51. Some might say it's just Darwin Nominees in search of an Award n/t

[geardaddy]

68. Yes!

[Bertha Venation]

5. The use of the word "impact" when the words they really mean is "affect" or "effect."

[Flaxbee]

74. That's a very impactful insight, Bertha

[hifiguy]

6. Cretins who pay no attention to their surroundings

and the people around them. And there are more of them every day.

Imbeciles who get off escalators and STOP. Where are those of us behind them supposed to go?

Hammerheads who are so utterly incapable of being away from their "devices" that they walk into others on the street. I've seen a couple walk straight into traffic yet escape the natural consequences of such breathtaking stupidity.

The dimwits who charge into elevators like a herd of meth-driven wildebeest as soon as the doors open without giving anyone in said elevator the chance to exit.

Bicyclists who merrily run red lights into cross traffic and smirk at you when you have to slam on the brakes to keep from mowing them down. There should be a bounty on these assholes.

[dixiegrrrrl]

81. Why do you slam on the brakes??

[nolabear]

8. Beets. And death. Not necessarily in that order.

[WCGreen]

16. The next day after the one Time I ate beets....

I thought I had Colon Cancer until I realized it was just the beets.

[AlecBGreen]

33. God have mercy on you

oh man... my Great Aunt Olga's beets in a little apple cider vinegar & OJ :drool:

[Flaxbee]

75. hmm. that sounds good. I love beets, actually

Beet, carrot and ginger juice is fantastic.

[Populist_Prole]

9. Mayonnaise, Brussel Sprouts, turn signal non-usage

That and obnoxious sports programming and obnoxious sports fans discussing same.

[pipi_k]

10. Abusers of

children and animals.

I would gladly push either one in front of a speeding train.

[WCGreen]

17. I have to totally agree with you.

They are helpless, trusting and people who take care of that innocents should be segregated from the gene pool.

[crunch60]

42. I want to add one more to children and animals.. elderly abuse is equally disgusting to me.

[Flaxbee]

76. I was just going to add that...

[Yavin4]

11. Reality TV and Talent Shows

Bad entertainment.

[benld74]

28. Agreed! I refuse to watch em,, but the family records the damn things and makes fun of me

for watching science shows

[ohiosmith]

13. Incivility of any sort.

Now leave me alone!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. Hannibal Lecter hates that too.

Just sayin

[ohiosmith]

24. Free range rude! Mmmmmm!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. heh heh

I love the dear Dr.

Does that make me look bad?

[Initech]

14. News stories about celebrity fashion and hair styles.

Really - I could not give less of a shit about those things. Even worse are the stories that pop up on my news feed about celebrity "baby bumps" or that a celebrity is "preggers" (another word that drives me up the wall). Stop it already!!! Save that shit for TMZ. Keep it off my news.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. oh god me too.....

HATE that idiocy!

[crunch60]

56. You mean the............KARDASHIANS.. will they ever go far, far away..

[Initech]

63. Yes - all that crap please go away.

[Flaxbee]

77. If you had to choose, would it be Paris and Nicky Hilton, or the Kardashians?

The Kardashians will go away, and some other entity will fill the void... what follows may be worse.

[Initech]

85. Watch the recent episode of South Park called" Raising The Bar".

They make fun of "Honey Boo Boo" and then James Cameron finds that "the bar" has sunk to the lowest point on earth and upon raising it they no longer find crap like that funny.

[Initech]

15. Full page animated internet ads that you can't click off.

There's a reason why I don't use Internet Explorer anymore.

[Jamaal510]

18. YouTube commenters.

There are no moderators on that site, which means anybody can say anything they want without getting banned, no matter how provocative the comments are.

[47of74]

70. That's why I either

A) Turn off comments altogether.
B) Make it so that I have to approve all comments before being posted.

[Taverner]

19. People having more than three kids

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. I get FURIOUS over 4 kids, angry at 3, annoyed at 2

and begrudgingly tolerant of one.

I hate hate hate HATE overpopulation.

[crunch60]

43. Guess your not a fan of the Duggards.. 19 of em' but she is a faithful quiverfull wife,

Quiverfull Wives Confess -- They put Birth Control in 'God's Hands'

[BlancheSplanchnik]

45. quiverful...now there's a club for fetus and baby fetishists

Wonder how the older kids feel about getting no attention? Oh well....whatever....it's the population impact that I hate.

I googled quiverfull years ago....hoo boy.

[bluedave]

61. any more than 1

is not responsible

[Odin2005]

98. And it seems like a lot of the people with a litter are too stupid to be parents.

Last Thursday at the thrift store a woman came in with 3 kids and a 4th on the way. The kids were little monsters and she did NOTHING to control them!!!

I suspect these idiots are parents because they are too stupid to understand birth control.

[Tobin S.]

20. A cop pulled me over for doing 59 in a 55 the other day

That's the only thing I've hated lately. A few years back I was pulled over for doing 70 in a 65 in the same state and shortly after that for doing 81 in a 75 in Arizona. With the four over and five over I was just tooling along trying to make a little time. When you're going 300 or 500 miles it makes a difference. For the six over I had the cruise set at 75 and then went down a big hill and built up speed. I didn't realize it until it was too late and there was a cop sitting at the bottom of the hill.

I probably would not have been pulled over any of those times had I not been driving a large commercial vehicle. If I was just out there cruising around in my Honda I'm sure I'd get a pass on that stuff. To be fair to the cops they all let me go with a warning, but there's this new thing called CSA. I'm not sure what that stands for, but it basically keeps track of truckers' violations even if they were not ticketed. If you have a violation you get points. Get so many points and you're out of a job and probably won't be able to find another one for a while.

[Initech]

39. I got pulled over for doing 44 in a 40.

And it was in a damn rental car too - so I wasn't used to the way it accelerated. I was just passing a catering truck that was going really slow. Yeah that sucks.

[2naSalit]

88. Hmmm

CSA must be the latest "thing". I retired shortly after CDLs became a nuisance. And that was after being an instructor too. I found it hard to be out there and enjoy driving like I did in the 70 and early 80s. Too much traffic, too many electronic tattle tale stuff, just got to be a pain so I quit and went to college. I always found that cruise control, a new thing on trucks in my day, just didn't work to my advantage unless I was going across the flatlands.

Were you on I-40? And do you know where that big hill east of Moriarty, NM that just a sign that says HILL at the top (eastbound that is) and then you go down on a long curve that's banked the wrong way for about 2.2 miles or something like that? I almost got in trouble there every time, popular speed trap at the time. Even though you didn't get a ticket, it still cost you an hour minimum. Sorry to hear it. Hope make delivery on time in spite of it... or is that even a problem anymore?

[HopeHoops]

22. Voilent puking.

Yes, I've had a rough day dealing that.

[Burma Jones]

23. Complainers

[Mr.Bill]

26. People that are always late.

It shows a complete lack of consideration for those that showed up on time for work, a meeting, dinner, etc.

[sakabatou]

27. Smooth jazz

[digonswine]

29. Listening to someone giving me the plotline-

to a book or movie that I KNOW I will never want to read or see. And they are so good at not leaving me an "out" to the conversation.
I don't even want to hear plots of books or movies I WANT to read or see.

[trof]

30. DWT*. That REALLY PISSES ME OFF.

*Driving While Talking/Texting.
I've seen way more 'accidents' and near accidents caused by assholes who do that than by drunk drivers.

[graywarrior]

32. When someone asks if I can do them a favor

Soap Operas
Shopping mall music
Women who pee all over public toilet seats

[treestar]

66. agree with your last one

what are they thinking? It's far less sanitary than just sitting where someone just sat.

[graywarrior]

67. It drives me INSANE!

I want to track them down and rip their faces off.

[treestar]

72. I hate them too

I want to drag them down and ask them why they are so selfish as to make it icky for everyone that follows them!

[graywarrior]

73. I'd like to get a look at one of the offenders

[AlecBGreen]

34. superstitious "medicine"

anyone who thinks a tiger's dick can cure impotence should be sent to india with a pocketknife and told to get it their damn self

[Kennah]

52. That conjures up an image. "You want some tiger dick, motherfucker? I'll give you some!"

[Flaxbee]

79. if the superstitious medicine doesn't involve animals or endangered plants,

let 'em do what they want. You want to snort rose petals or slather horny goat weed all over your pecker? Fine, go ahead.

But, if they want to kill an animal - especially an endangered animal - just so they can get hard, I just don't even have the words for what I think should happen to them. It actually makes me feel more despair than anger, though.

[AlecBGreen]

93. agree

[Doc_Technical]

35. Sports interviews.

Regurgitating the same old tired cliches.

And "sports journalists" asking questions like,
"How did you feel when that player on the other team
made that great play which figuratively tore your heart and stomped on it?"

[NewJeffCT]

36. I like peanut butter and I like chocolate

but, I hate them together (Reese's Peanut Butter Cups)

[MrSlayer]

40. R&B music, Adam Sandler, liver.

Musicals, wool and straightedgers.

Lots of things really.

[crunch60]

57. the............KARDASHIANS.. will they ever go far, far away..

[CheapShotArtist]

41. Fans who say "we" when referring to their favorite teams

when they're not the ones playing in the game.

Also the people in Maury Povich's audience because they always boo the man without hearing both sides of the story first. They boo the guy before Maury even announces the lie detector results, just because the woman accuses him of cheating. On that show, you're basically guilty until proven innocent.

[Odin2005]

99. Maury is a show geared to Middle Class white women.

"see, look at these naughty black people from the hood/white trash".
It's all about reinforcing the BS meme that poor people, especially poor minorities, are subhumans who cannot control their urges.

[crunch60]

44. People who hold the side of one nostril with a finger, and then blow all the

snotty stuff out of the other nostril into public air space.. yuk .

[LeftishBrit]

46. Drivers and cyclists who IGNORE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS!

[LiberalElite]

48. Cilantro

[nadine_mn]

86. Me too!

I am part Mexican and love my Latin food but the cilantro just kills it for me

[Fearless]

92. But but but...

[2theleft]

49. marshmallows,

askholes - those annoying people at work that ask questions to executives as a way of brown nosing

mouth breathers - nothing worse than being in a meeting and feeling like you are sitting next to darth vader

people who do not pick up after their dogs when walking them

calamari

people who eat stinky good for lunch at their desks so the whole area smells bad all afternoon

the smell of burnt microwave popcorn

those that go slow in the fast lane

[njlibguy_19656mm]

50. i detest most of today's pop music

Utter trash imo

[JoeyT]

53. Jacked up trucks with loudass pipes.

Either one is bad enough on its own, but making sure your exhaust is dead level with the window of the person you're going past should be a capital offense.

[ellisonz]

54. Lines of people.

[BainsBane]

55. leaf blowers nt

[blogslut]

58. Slack-jawed service people who don't know how to say two simple words:

"I'm sorry."

Also, teeth suckers.

[TeamPooka]

59. The Dallas Cowboys.

[MrScorpio]

60. My two favorite teams are the Detroit Lions and any team that plays the Dallas Cowboys

[Initech]

62. Stores like Costco putting their Christmas decorations out in August.

[lunatica]

64. I detest co-workers who pop gum like they're stamping on bubblewrap

[Initech]

83. Good god is that annoying!!!!!

[Major Nikon]

65. Giant bat farts

http://giantbatfarts.com/

[rrneck]

69. Resturant staff singing happy birthday. nt

[DearHeart]

71. Pollyannas!

[GoCubsGo]

78. I'm with you on the food chomping.

Ice from soft drinks, too. Not just next to my ear, but anywhere in the room. Yuk. Needless to say, I despise those Kit Kat commercials, and will not be buying them as long as they keep airing those disgusting commercials.

Peanut butter cookies, on the other hand--my favorite!

[Hoyt]

80. Harley riders with straight pipes (no muffler) who like to blip their throttle at traffic lights

when my window is down. I find myself blaring the horn and smiling at them.

[zabet]

107. I feel as if

I need to 'defend' this a little. As a 30+ year Harley owner/rider I can honestly say...the throttle blip as you phrase it is simply to clear the carb so the bike doesn't bog during acceleration due to the carb overfull of gas. Most of the carb models will do this...regardless of the style of pipes. Now the riders with the new fuel injected Harleys....I agree it is totally un-necessary and an attention seeking move when they rev while sitting at a stoplight.

[Hoyt]

108. What do the straight pipes do -- other than annoy heck out of folks and give rider's ego a boost?

I can tell when someone is trying to keep the noise down vs. enjoying the heck out of making a racket.

It's just that the world is noisy enough without such indecency toward others. I'd suggest a BMW or something, which are made to be quiet.

BTW -- I feel the same way about straight pipes on a car, although I had a Plymouth with a 426 cubic inch engine and cutouts when a teenager. Ran em straight once, and realized it was kind of immature and deafening.

Appreciate the explanation though. Be safe.

[Initech]

82. Electronic cigarettes

And the idiots who use them indoors thinking they can get away with it since they're not real cigarettes.

[Jersey Devil]

104. I disagree - they are not tobacco, they don't smell, there is no second hand smoke

They are flavored water vapor and that's all. As someone who is quitting a long term smoking habit I find them quite useful. BTW, most who use them don't try to shock others by using them and appearing to really be smoking. They (and I) are usually discrete about it.

[bluedigger]

84. Standing in line behind people buying lottery tickets.

[nadine_mn]

87. People breathing on me and bugs

Gawd I hate bugs

[2naSalit]

89. Yikes

that's quite a comprehensive list ~ I'd say all of the above with the exception of cilantro and calamari, I love cilantro and enjoy calamari once in a while.

[eShirl]

90. lazy & inconsiderate "social" farting

And I don't mean the occasional one that just gets away from you.
It's no different than peeing your pants because you can't be bothered to get up from the dinner table to relieve your bladder.

[Fearless]

91. Rubbing two pieces of styrofoam together.

[Baitball Blogger]

94. I detest people who make me feel uncomfortable when I eat

crunchy peanut butter cookies.

[JCMach1]

95. iceberg lettuce

yuck... literally would rather eat soggy cardboard....

[Evoman]

96. Water chestnuts. Food of the devil. Flavourless, disgusting texture.

[Odin2005]

97. Anti-vaccine idiots who think the MMR vaccine made their kid autistic.

[shanti]

101. liver, gum-cracking, public nail clipping

the latter two ESPECIALLY not on public transportation!

[cynatnite]

102. Food in the sink. ICK! n/t

[Jersey Devil]

103. Nothing on this list beats stinky dog farts

I love my dog to death but when he farts and leaves the room before the stink reaches me I want to send him to Hell.

[rurallib]

105. TV commercials - my remote gets a hell of a workout.

[Chellee]

106. "Cute" misspellings.

Kwik Mart

Lite Brite

EZ Pay

[NCarolinawoman]

109. Overweight teenage boys, riding oversized, loud lawn mowers in

small yards. What a joke. This goes for pot-bellied men as well.

If I can PUSH (think exercise) my electric lawn mower around the yard, they can do the same!
