I fear your snarkiness on this issue deserves a bit of smackdown, Megstar.
I shall rip something from the headlines for you to read whilst I chomp this corndog on my walk with my hipster friends down South Main (which is really the North end, go figure).
Here, pat pat pat, let me give you a hug and buy you some nice carnations.
oh – something i can add to your list… blogs that require “comments awaiting moderation”
i am good on that list with the exception of carnations and corndogs. :)
Oh how I hate the term baby bump. Glad to know it’s not just me.
I can’t believe there’s such a thing as banana flavored gum. Just the thought of it gives me that gross feeling in the back of my throat.
I’d like to add – words that people start using everyday and think its cool, after it appears in some stupid song by no-talent rap-pop singers! Like ‘My Humps, my lady lumps’ or something dumb like that!
YES! Thank you! You and Superfantastic both! I can’t STAND the use of the word “Bump” to describe a woman’s pregnant belly! I’m also agreeing with Roshan, but more because I find that song irritating, although I Laughed Out Loud, ’cause I couldn’t believe they actually called them “lady lumps”.
I hate the word “ho” period. Hoe is a whole other subject. Hoes are quite useful actually, if you’re into gardening. Which I haven’t done in at least a dozen years. And the word homonym somewhat bothers me as well.
Other than that small [oh god, I hate it when I forget the word I'm about to type], I agree with the rest of your list except corndogs, which I enjoy *on occasion*.
How about:
Carnation Evaporated Milk?
Sniffling constants?
Down with smack?
Patch Adams?
Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker’s man?
Banana-flavored rum?
Blue eye in dogs in photos?
And most importantly, reality blogging that “doesn’t require writers?”
Hmmmm…. things I hate?
Cheese
Chinese food
Celery
Rainy days
Pushy panhandlers
Idiotic people
Bureaucracy and red-tape
People who aren’t flexible
People who only follow rules
Stubbornness without respect
Improper attribution of ideas
Drivers in Vancouver (generally speaking)
Politician’s lies
People who talk out of their … pretending they know something they don’t
My upstairs neighbours
… and their kid
… and his tantrums
… and their callousness and lack of respect for my and my next-door-neighbour’s sleeping patterns
Telemarketers
Arriving late
Having lost my cell phone
Sleep deprivation
When someone stands me up
When someone changes pre-existing plans without consulting with me first (and those are our plans)
Not being able to blog when I want to
Not having good ideas to blog about
Self-pompous people who think they’re all that and a bag of chips
WOW – Meg, never in my life had I ever sat down and thought about what I hated. Thanks for this opportunity!
PS – I actually do hate the idea that nobody would be interested in reading my blog!
- car repairs
- the expression “my bad”
- John Steinbeck novels. Joseph Conrad too, if truth be told. Really, does life have to be that bleak?
- That upward inflection at the end of sentences of a younger generation (the name of which I know not) that turns all their statements into questions?
- cyclists that seem intent on throwing themselves under the wheels of my car. Don’t get me wrong, I love cycling but there are road rules for cyclists too. Live by them and live.
- when people try to do mental math during a meeting. I’m all for knowing how to do it, I just don’t want to be held up while I wait for you. Have your answer written down before the meeting.
- Gwyneth Paltrow, Renee Zellwegger and Mary Louise Parker. I’m sorry, it had to be said. They do weird things with their voices that bug me.
- people who say “We really have to lunch” when they don’t mean it
Hey, that was fun!
I agree with nearly everything on your list, especially dried-out baked goods. That is not muffin, Starbucks, it’s a rock.
Ok, Meg – here’s the link love :) I came up with a few things that I hated after posting my comment :)

All the best!
When people scrape the bottom of their yogurt containers somewhere around 5 times per second. That drives me crazy.
When people leave spilled coffee or coffee rings on the office kitchen counter. Would they do that at home?
People who won’t move upstairs on the train so that more of us can fit.
over use of the word apparently.
That I live in an area I really dislike and can’t find the opportunity that would allow me to move.
