Hate is such a strong word....

Hate.  That is very powerful word, and one that is overused.  I often say that I "hate" asparagus.  That's untrue.  I dislike it, but to say that I have strong enough feelings to actually "hate" a vegetable? Untrue. 

However, for the purpose of this blog, I am going to be using the word "hate" like a comma.  This is my "Hate Series."  Things that absolutely drive me crazy.  I will do this in several parts, as to not overwhelm you with my loathing.  Feel free to share things you hate, loathe, dislike; and if I agree, I'll add them to the list!


Things I Hate: Part 1


One-Uppers- The people who always have to do things bigger, better, faster, and more often than you.  Really? Get over yourself.  I am not competing with you.  I am just living my life.  You should get one of your own!

Example:

Me: I had such a great weekend.  I went out on the lake, and it was so nice.
OU: I own the lake and I went out on my private yacht!
Me: Private yacht? Nice.  What's it called; the SS Douche Canoe?

People that complain, but don't contribute- These people find fault in everything, but do nothing to fix the situation.  We are all guilty of doing this occasionally, but these people make it their job to complain.  If you don't like something, then take steps to fix it.  Write a letter, stage a protest, or make the changes yourself.

Example:

Complainer: I hate that my kid's school doesn't have a Chess Club for my little Johnny.
Me: Why don't you and Johnny start a club, and you can be the adult chaperone.
Complainer: Well, I am too busy, and why should I have to help? Isn't that what we pay the teachers for?
Me: ::bitch slap::

People who eat in the bathroom- Yes, these people exist.  No, I do not understand it.  I know your life is not so hectic that you have to eat while you do your make-up.  I do not care how clean your bathroom is, that is still nasty.  There are poop particles and stuff floating in the air.  If you eat in the bathroom, we are no longer friends.

Example Phone Conversation:

Me; Hey, girl, whatcha doin?
Nasty: Taking a crap and eating a donut.
Me: Pardon? Why do you need to eat and crap at the same time?
Nasty: Just killing two birds, and all that.  I have a lot going on, if I didn't eat in here, I wouldn't eat.
Me: Then you should starve. ::defriends on facebook::
