Top Ten "I Hate" List
by e-claire | Feb 23 '09
I'm a few days late joining lyoness913's get-it-all-out 'hate' movement last week (and I hate that!), but I'm hoping that late really is better than never.

Great List Of Hates (Reply to this comment)

Ita re: the trend of hating people for the sake of hating. It's just so uncool and destructive.

Hey nagels, thanks for checking in on me. Don't worry, it's nothing new, I'm having a little trouble keeping up with everything I want to do lately, but it's a phase I go through every now and then. I've been Epi-reading and rating when possible, and checking in on Facebook, so I'm around. As promised in my profile, I'm simply "recharging" at the moment and will back up to full power soon. In fact, I'll even try to pump out a few reader comments, and work on a review or two this week, LOL.

Heart your spuddy soul, and take care,

Thanks for all the comments, guys - it's so great to get them (yea!). Instead of responding to you here, I've left you return comments under your reviews in order to make better use of my little epi-time today, but then I got hit with stupid Commenter's Block visiting Khendra and Mona's pages, so:

Thanks, Khendra. My heart goes out to your mom. I wish I could get away with what she said, but in all likelihood, I'd only be gawked at for my insolence and/or laughed at for bad acting.

Mona, thanks for the "real"/online word pointers, Scrabble Teacher. LOL, are you for hire? While I have won a few games, I lost many more even while keeping two or three cheater pages open and handy! Getting Scrabble-hustled feels like one of life's worst betrayals. ;.; It has been awhile since my last game though - maybe I should just pick myself up and level up my Scrabble skills again some time.

Take care,
~Claire

Claire,

Job well done and start tasering them all. Just let it fly! I had to laugh at so many of these, because you are right about how annoying they are.

Gotta agree on #2. I especially hate when I say "Yes, I'm okay", and the questions keep coming. "Are you sure? You don't look good. Did you get enough sleep?" and so on. Grrr.

Just provided me another review assignment. Considering that both you and Toiletoctopus have done one of these "hate lists", I suppost that the movement is still going strong, because I now know that I must do one, too. Thank you for the inspiration--and, by the way, I agree wholeheartedly about expensive food! I suppose that costly beverages are better than receiving the wrong order, though, wouldn't you say?

Blessings,

Nicole

While I agree with them all, I absolutely fell in love with, "I hate people who hate people." Amen, sister!

Scrabble words (Reply to this comment)
by ladyconsumer
You're right - they are annoying. But it's not just online Scrabble games - those words have been legal in "real" Scrabble forever. I always use words like em, en, pe, fa, mi, ti, and of course xi and xu. Not to mention qat and suq.

Hey - If you can't beat 'em (make those words illegal) then join 'em (use them to your advantage).

But you're right - it is annoying!

very funny list! My mom would love #2 - she is 67 now, and when people ask her if she's okay, she always says something like, "Well, I am still alive, but how are you supposed to feel at 67? I have arthritis, creaky bones, can't breathe as well..is this considered feeling good or okay?" ; )

SWEET (Reply to this comment)
by ddustyrose
You have some good "hates." I'm so glad the female complaints are no longer part of my life! One word ended it. The "H" word. :)

I was playing Scrabble with my 8 year old grandson last week and he had a hard time believeing jenny was a word and not just a girl's name. He even asked his Mom about it, so today, I did a Google search and proved to him it was a word. Maybe his grandmother knows a thing or two after all. YES! Her grammar is definitely questionable, but she knows her words (usually). hehe

Hugs,
Dusty

Yeh, I did leave out the Gripe Gripe, didn't I? A few of the other I Hate reviewers already have that base well covered though, so no worries there.
