Hate is such a strong word...

Since I often list things I like to Dan and to my friends (because listing things I like is on the list of things I like), this is to prove to them that I do not, in fact, like everything.
  1. I very strongly dislike making phone calls repeatedly to people I don't know.
  2.  I very strongly dislike those twitching sparkle myspace stickers.
  3.  I very strongly dislike those commemorativs coins they sell on tv ads with order limit per customer- as if someone will call and try to order 20 of them for when they become SOOOO valuable.
  4.  I very strongly dislike when people call Bob Evans to ask me to read them the salads and the toppings on each. I do enjoy reading them very fast.
  5.  I very strongly dislike when people call Bob Evans and tell me they want "the dinner salad" or "the dinner salad with chicken". We have at least 8. SPECIFY. I once had a request for "the lunch size side salad" it is apparently "larger than one side salad but smaller than 2". Wtf? That doesn't exist. You know what that is? It's me charging you for 2 side salads and putting them in a lunch salad container.
  6.  I very strongly dislike when guys wear their pants so low, i can't figure out how they're even walking, let alone keeping said pants up at all. Double the dislike if they also have on a belt.
  7. I very strongly dislike spiders.
  8. I very strongly dislike when people honk at me to turn right at a red light. It is an option! True or false: You can see around this blind curve better than I, the person in front of you, can. FALSE. Where you're going more important than where I am going. Unless you are an emergency response vehicle, FALSE. Honking will make me turn faster. FALSE, it will actually do the opposite. I can wait for the light. Just for you. 
  9. I very strongly dislike the word "knapsack" and the word "kneecap". There is no real reason...I just don't like them.
  10. I very strongly dislike Olive Garden commercials. Dear Olive Garden, Your shitty commercials about family do not make me want to eat your food. Your food being delicious makes me want to eat your food. Do not conflate the two. Thank you.
  11. I very strongly dislike country music. All of it.
  12. I very strongly dislike mosquitos.
  13. I very strongly dislike when shoes don't hurt when you put them on, but then one starts to hurt hours later.
  14. I very strongly dislike the response "chicken butt" when someone says "guess what". 99.999% of the time, that is not the answer. Stop guessing that.
  15. I very strongly dislike when people type in that weird shorthand slang that makes no sense. Is that even english?
  16. I very strongly dislike when drivers just turn or change lanes and likely are thinking "Well here I go. Good luck, everybody else!". Just because you think I see you and know I won't intentionally hit you, doesn't mean you can be an idiot.
  17. I very strongly dislike political campaign ads. You know that money you're spending to tell me how good you are with money and how you're going to save me money? Yea. Donate it to something productive.
  18. I very strongly dislike that Marathon gas stations have an entire country song written about them for their commercials. Just...why?
  19. I very strongly dislike NASCAR and all things with NASCAR on them. I can appreciate the technology behind making a car go that fast, but 97% of people watching are just waiting for a crash of some kind. I also feel it is a waste of fuel. This is a finite resource we have to pay a lot of money for...and you're using it to make a lot of left turns really really quickly.
  20. I very strongly dislike people who wander into the street in parking lots (or around campus). I say I should be allowed to hit you with my car if you don't look both ways like you were taught when you were 3. Yes, pedestrians have the right of way, just don't abuse that right.
