What about Crocs?Sunrider84 said:
These fucking things. I almost throw a shit fit whenever I see anyone wearing these. I don't care how comfortable they are, they are the ugliest footwear ever created, together with those awful running shoes with toes.
Time to get labeled as a contrarian,
Things I hate:
Coffee (literally makes me gag and wanna vomit if I smell it/taste it)
Shrimp, Lobster, Crab, Oysters, and I assume all other shellfish (though I like fried clams and scallops are borderline tolerable)
Asparagus (tastes and smells like blood in my mouth)
Singing competition TV shows. Kelly Clarkson is the only talent produced by one so far as I'm concerned, and having 2-3 on each night is truly redundant.
Which brings me to another major hatred of mine. I hate the song 'I will always love you' by Whitney Houston. I always have, regardless of the singer, regardless of the ability of the singer or lack there of. Its a terrible song, and if its on TV you will only EVER hear the very end of the song. With the really long nails-on-a-chalkboard "omg make it stop" note followed by the run that sounds like a cat giving birth, followed by the really long even higher pitched "making my ears bleed where is the remote?!" sustained note. The whole song is, I imagine, supposed to showcase ones vocal range. All I hear is a collection of dissonant harpy shriekings couched inside a trite love song.
Also, the National Anthem of the U.S.A. has taken on this bizarre level of complexity that is truly ridiculous to listen to. Everyone tries to make it as awe inspiring a performance as possible because its supposed to be THE song to sing live. I've never heard a "singer" sing it and not cringed as they either fail completely, or "succeed" and make the song completely unintelligible. Just sing it like a normal person! It shouldn't take 15 minutes to get though the national anthem!
Final Fantasy 7: I can never fully express my utter contempt for this game, and what it started, which was the gradual degradation of a series whose first 6 installments are some of my favorite games in the medium. I apparently lack, despite playing at the time of its release extensively, whatever perspective needed to appreciate and polish that turd. FF8 was better in every way for me, then 9 got a little weird because for everything I liked there were 2 I didn't, 10 was mostly crap, 12 I liked to a point though I couldn't tell you ANYTHING that actually happened in it, and 13 I didn't even bother finishing.
Bioshock/Dishonored/Mass Effect/Arkham ___/Bayonetta/DMC/Resident Evil (ther than 4)- I couldn't care less about these games.
Twilight/Hunger Games- No, just no.
Honey Boo Boo/Dance Moms/ANYTHING on "The learning channel" - No, just no. And you should be arrested for child abuse and your kids should get taken from you, because you are a fucking monster.
Everybody Loves Raymond - There is no more poorly named show in the history of television. Anyone that can watch that show and think its funny, has issues. Debra is quite possibly the least likably woman in television history, and the entire show is just her and Ray's parents pouring shit on him and Robert. Not even in a joking way, they honestly seem to hate him. If that were a real family I'd feel sorry for his daughters. I'm kidding mostly but that show is crap. Same with Frasier, and the Office.
Lastly, Arrested Development. I may like most of the cast, and think they are funny in other works they have done, but I simply cannot enjoy AD. There is nothing about it that makes me laugh or interested. I've tried, my friends that have similar tastes as me think I'm crazy. I just can't like that show.

I always catch flak for this, but I dispised the Nintendo 64. It felt like every game wanted you to use every button on the keypad as though you had three hands, everything was overpriced, and all my friends had them, so I had to try to grit my way through everything I was forced to play that I hadn't played before so I got devastated. All the time! This hasn't sat well with me, and I hate the thing to this day!
They bother me less, but I also doubt they qualify for this topic.lunam-kardas said:What about Crocs?Sunrider84 said:

Caribou Coffee's motto:
"We love Coffee too. That's why we proudly brew."
I don't know what it is, but that little jingle makes my blood turn into raw sewage.
I freaking love Coffee, and Caribou's isn't all that bad, just... their motto...
Also, I find this relevant to this thread:

No, because in your first post you mention gum. If you hate gum, what is left for those who truly deserve hate; war criminals, mass murderes etc.? What can gum, a lifeless piece of nasty, possibly have done to be hated?lunam-kardas said:
The appropriate name for this thread would be "Things other people like but you don't."
I usually reserve real, proper hatred for things that deserve it and people don't really tend to love, so I don't think I've got a horse (or a pony, omg throatshove!) in this race.
Coffee.
It's hot, bitter, bean water. How could anyone think such a thing tastes good?
And yes, I've tried all the gateway drinks, the mocha frappechino with more milk and sugar than coffee with whipped cream on top, and I'll stir the cream down into the drink itself.
But the aftertaste...that bitter aftertaste that hangs out on the back of your tongue after you swallow...
Makes me want to wretch.
I salute you Brits for getting it right the first time, and as much as I have a level of respect for my forefathers, it sucks that they boycotted tea and declaring coffee the national drink of my homeland. Hot tea is the only way to go.

First of all, WHO loves network degradation?madwarper said:
You CANNOT even start a thread that even incidentally mentions SyFy without people mentioning how much they hate it now.
Secondly:
Major US Networks with wrestling in their line up: None, except NBC (maybe once a year).
Basic Cable Networks with wrestling in their line up: USA, SyFy, CW, Spike
Beyond that, there's some Lucha on Galavision, and also some Puerto Rican stuff if you get the right network. The Wrestling Channel was never available outside of Canada/GB, and no longer exists anyway.
So yeah, that basically leaves SyFy...
Also, since when was the country's average tv schedule a measure of it's status?
Last time I checked, we looked at things like literacy, infant mortality, access to health care or college graduation rates. There are many valid criticisms that could stem from any one of these statistics, but not from what people are watching on TV.
Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world, but it watches some of the crappiest dramas, and dumbest variety shows you will ever see. They LOVE Ricki Lake up in the Netherlands, and yet they're doing pretty well for themselves.
The idea that the cultural output of a country is somehow a reliable measure of it's "brain" is more than absurd, it's an intellectually dishonest opinion that relies entirely on stereotypes and what ultimately amounts to snobbery in order remain tenable. Yes, the US has it's problems like every other country, but it's not at all helpful to sit back and sneer at what one perceives to be low culture when one could instead have a serious dialogue about government policy if they really are that concerned about any sort of "decline".
I mean, if you enjoy it, by all means, go ahead and enjoy it. I found myself rolling my eyes CONSTANTLY throughout. Their time travel concept is needlessly complicated and the ending ruins the entire theory of time travel. And the child actor. Fucking. Hate. That. Kid.Aylaine said:cswurt said:Nooooo!

OT: The Hangover is one of the most wretched pieces of "entertainment" I've ever been exposed to. Apparently, it was Comedy of the Year.
Oh Lawd, I can second this. I generally like anyone I hear on the radio, or just don't care about them if they're the same as everyone else, but Pitbull will make me turn the radio right off when he comes on. I'm not even sure why, but I'm pretty sure the line "Tiger Woods times Jesse James equals Pitbull all night long" had a lot to do with it.MeChaNiZ3D said:
I can't really say hate myself, but I can say dislike, and those things would be

Oh boy, it's this thread. I wonder how many of these we get every month. Why can't we talk about things we like?
