Thanks to all you readers out there

All the best and enjoy your Summer holidays

13 Things I Hate

July 28, 2009 stevewiilliams 4 comments

Liars

There’s the kind of liar who lies to get people into trouble and who lies to try to ruin other people’s lives just because they don’t have the kind of life that they want but the person that they lie about does. Then there’s the kind of liar who lies to try get popular, by pretending to know about something that someone else is interested in. And finally, there’s the liar who tries to make out that he/she’s better than everyone else, by going a level higher than what someone else is. For example, if I said ‘I’ve got a new phone with an 8MP camera’, that person would say ‘I have a new phone as well but mine has a 12MP camera’.

Chavs

I hate smoking, I hate binge drinking and I hate drugs. Smoking kills, binge drinking results in violence and hangovers and drugs just ruin people’s lives. And it’s a waste of money as well.

Internet Explorer

I hate Internet Explorer with a passionate hate, a hate that cannot be measured, a hate that is beyond anything you’ve ever experienced. It’s bundled with Windows and it’s the worst piece of software in the world. It’s slow, it looks bad, it’s not customizable, it doesn’t have any add-ons, it’s badly-programmed, a lot of features don’t work like they should, it doesn’t come anywhere near meeting the Acid 3 Test standards and it is, in every sense of the word, bad. If you still use Internet Explorer start using Firefox.

Nerds

Some people call me a nerd but I’m actually a geek. A geek is someone who has an interest in computers and technology but doesn’t talk about it all the time and actually has other interests apart from that. Geeks also wear geek clothing which usually consists of jeans and a shirt that has a funny phrase or picture on the front. Nerds, on the other hand, just sit there all day at the computer, doing things that will never benefit anyone, and hanging around on hardcore gamer/hacker/developer forums.

Spammers

People who go on forums just to spam and cause arguments. People who post videos on YouTube of them burping, farting or staring at the camera. People who make websites with web addresses that you want and then don’t bother updating. People who create blogs about nothing. People who send emails to you offering sex, drugs and other weird things. People who make Twitter accounts and then don’t bother updating. People who come on your website and leave stupid comments. All you people out there who do these things – I hate you.

Porn

So you’re surfing the web and up pops this window, displaying a man having anal sex with a woman, or worse, another man, just as your parents walk in. You get in trouble thanks to pornography. I don’t see the point of wasting your life having sex every day, having people record it and then stick it online. I don’t see what pleasure people can get out of watching it. I don’t see why you would want to waste all your programming skills and money helping to create websites that cause legal rows and result in young children innocently asking ‘daddy, why is that woman on the screen wearing no clothes’. I don’t see the point of it at all.

Salads

They are cold and bland and they taste horrible. They’re the worst kind of food you can have and what’s more, it’s annoyingly healthy. Why does something so healthy have to taste so bad? And it’s not very colourful either, and there are lots of slimy bits. And the lettuce and celery are too crunchy. It’s just a disgusting meal in every sense of the word.

Homosexuality

I don’t mind homosexuals, unless they’re trying to hit on me, but I hate what they do. I don’t see how one man can like another man when women are so much more… attractive, beautiful etc. And when I see them walking hand in hand down the road, or kissing in a public place, it just makes me feel ill.

MFOSWHAD

I hear so many people use the word ‘retard’ as an insult, if someone does something weird, acts weird or is just plain weird. Or when someone says ‘that’s just retarded’, I hate it so much. There are thousands and millions of people out there, born with disabilities that can’t be healed of, that stop them doing things that they might want to do… and then those of us who don’t have disabilities come along and make fun of those who do. ‘Retard’, when used as an insult or unnecessary description, is one of all time worst words.

Perverts

Men (or women) who just can’t get enough sex, who don’t stop talking about sex and relate everything to sex. I hate these kinds of people even more when they literally touch another person who really doesn’t want to be touched in places that will make that person feel uncomfortable. It’s just physically disgusting in my eyes. These kinds of people tend to bookmark porn sites and collect pornographic magazines.

Stereotyping

Someone may like the colour black and wear it all the time, listen to emo music and wear black make-up (if that person is a girl of course). If you saw that person you’d automatically think of them as either a goth or an emo, simply because they’re wearing that colour and listening to that music. That, right there, is stereotyping, and I hate it. Why? Because when people who know me find out about my interest in computers and technology, they automatically assume that I’m a nerd, and thus think I have no life, no friends, and they should treat me badly. It’s also unfair on others.

Racism

Does it matter whether someone is white or black? No, it doesn’t, so why do people make fun of others just because their skin colour is different? I just hate it because it causes people pain that they could do without, and it’s also a form of stereotyping.

Hate

I hate the word hate. When you tell someone you hate them, they are hurt in the heart. The only time I think you should hate something is when it’s just that: something and not someone. Otherwise you cause people pain they could do without. Why hate when you can love? What has war got against peace but death and violence? Nothing at all. Forgive and forget and you won’t regret.
