Well... I'm a pretty positive person so I don't really HATE anything... Hate's a pretty strong feeling, anyways.
But then again, I bet most of the people that posted in this thread don't really HATE the things they said, so I don't think it really matters.
One thing what I really dislike is people who do and "like" things because other people do and "like" them, too. Well, not really
one thing, but leaving that aside...
This sort of people think they can be cool because they like the same thing that the "majority" likes. They can't stop and think what they
really like, they just don't want to be away from the "spotlight", otherwise they think they'll be hated and discriminated.
Yeah, I do know that there are people who are just too afraid to get away from that spotlight. Well, that's pretty much the problem. Those that really do dislike you because of not liking the same thing that they like are just huge douches, you
should be away from them because of that. They aren't your real friends.
Examples:
1) Mostly teenagers that start smoking, drinking, shoplifting or just being a dick to every bypasser. They might be forced to this or because they just wanna be cool, regardless, it's stupid. I bet most of you have seen this in public or have heard stories.
2) It's not only limited to liking mainstream things, there's also the other side of the coin; hating. Justin Bieber's the best example. Just because there was an image of Justin Bieber and with text like "lul he sinngs liek a gyrl damm I haet hem" and listening to one song for five seconds doesn't mean that you should hate him.
Sometimes bandwagoning together might actually be fun, though. A pretty good example for this would be Organic Cucumbers in our beloved Toribash forums.
But when you force it with "lolz lets put mudkipz on our avadurrs lulzes", it won't be any fun, that'll be just pissing people off. You gotta do it right, that's why Organic Cucumbers were successful.
Don't ask me for tips.
Also, as a last note: remember that some people actually do like Metallica, Lady GaGa, Jennifer Lopez etc.. There's a reason why they're successful.
Another thing that I dislike is people that generalize things.
In Finland, a new popular political party promised to get rid of the bad immigrants. These include those that don't do work and are there just for the money (they get lots of money when they say that they're exiles), rape women because of their religion etc. etc., you know.
Now, there has been a growth of violent racist acts. Why? Because some people think that they are getting rid of
all the immigrant, regardless of them being honest workers or Holy Believers, and them being racist altogether.
The so-called "generalizers" should just learn that just because you met one bad person doing this thing doesn't mean that thing he/she was doing is actually bad. I do understand those that have had serious experiences, though - it's only natural to be scared of close contact with a man when you've been raped by a man. But remember, that was just that one man. Not all men rape women! The statistics would show HUGE numbers if all men were rapists!
When I was writing this message, I remembered a thing that I can say I
really hate.
And that's when someone touches me.
Alright, if there's a good reason, fine. Good reasons would be hand shake, being in a crowded place or being in the way of someone ("moving" me away - "moving" as in not forcily moving, just noticing me that he/she needs a bit space).
The kind of touching I
hate is
1) "Whassup!?" *pat on the shoulder*
2) Taking from the shoulder so that we're close to each other (similar to
this)
3) Patting on head
These are the kind of touching that make me seriously pissed off. Pretty much any physical contact with me makes me feel annoyed, but I can tolerate stuff such as the things mentioned above.
I remember when my friend was being stupid again and he was grabbing my arm and shaking it lightly when laughing, I was very, VERY close to punching his teeth in his throat.
This is so far the only thing that has made me think of that.
...
Aaaand that's it. Long post is loooong.
