I really hate it when...

[henrah]

I'm sure you know the source of inspiration for this I'll start things off:


I really hate it when I delude myself to the outcomes of future situations and believe that they will go how my mind maps them out.

I really hate it when those situations don't turn out how I believed they would.

I really hate it when I paranoidally question my own actions.

I really hate it when I eat myself up about one particular thing that I can't focus on anything else.

I really hate it when my nose starts pouring and there's no tissue nearby.

[gilad]

I really hate it when I give up on something, or think that something is impossible.

I really hate it when people nearly crach in to me or cause accidents on the road.

I really hate it when im watching CNN and see Bush giving another we are winning the war speech.

I really hate it when i oversleep.

I really hate it when someone calls me while im watching my favourite tv show.

I really love a lot more than i hate.

[henrah]

I really love a lot more than i hate.

Ah-ah-aaahh, keep that for the love thread



haha j/k I hate incompetence on the road too.

[soliloquy]

I really hate it when I order a CD and THEN they tell me it's on back-order.

Understandably so - then it will pay you to find (however long it takes you to do so) a source that usually doesn't do this kind of thing; every now and then it will happen even with the most ordinarily reliable of retail sources, but find a good one and it will happen but rarely. The local CD store here is one in which, when I went in about five weeks ago and asked for that Roslavets CD which I mentioned elsewhere on this forum, knew immediately of what Ispoke, had read the published reviews and done all except listen to it (other than the first few minutes of the Chamber Symphony) - and therefore, of course, knew edactly where to find it in their stock (I bought the last that they had at the time, as it happens).

I really hate it when my heart starts racing furiously as I approach the climax of a piece, and I consequently "spin out" and totally hit the wrong note  (<-- most awful thing ever)

I really hate getting overemotional/stressed/nervous

I really hate driving

I really hate tripping on the tennis court and falling flat on my face

I really hate stereotypes and the fact that people equate stereotypical careers with success

I really hate the lack of true individuality that is so prevalent today

And last but not least...

I REALLY hate Cheez Its. 

[thalbergmad]

I hate when i always get to the nice part of a dream and then wake up.

I hate it when my alarm clock goes off.

I hate it when i wake up thinking it is Saturday and then realise it is Friday.

I hate it when my mum throws out my adult art magazines.

I hate it when smelly people sit next to me on the bus.

I hate it when i record the wrong programme on the telly.

I hate it when i go to the toilet and then find out that someone has used the last sheet of paper.

Thal

[ahinton]

I hate it when my alarm clock goes off.

Then don't set it.

I hate it when i wake up thinking it is Saturday and then realise it is Friday.

Then do what I do and then it will no longer matter to you what day it is.

I hate it when my mum throws out my adult art magazines.

Dos your mother live with you, then? You do surprise me! In any case, you should educate her to understand that some of these art and art history journals are extremely expensive and so they should not simply be discarded without impunity or permission...

I hate it when smelly people sit next to me on the bus.

Then cease travelling by that means.

I hate it when i record the wrong programme on the telly.

Then don't other to record anything from the telly - go and do some practice instead...

I hate it when i go to the toilet and then find out that someone has used the last sheet of paper.

Then make sure that your toilet is used only by you personally; that way, you'll be far better able to exercise control over the supply of papier de toilette (you know, the kind of stuff on which Durand et Cie. might have published the so far mythical Quatrième Sonate pour piano par Pierre Boulez [see the thread thereon])...

Nice.  I order a CD of some of Bussotti's piano works on Dec. 25th and STILL don't have it =/  What Roslavets was it?  I've been looking for the Violin Concerto for months now but can only find it on a dutch Amazon page lol.

[ahinton]

Nice.  I order a CD of some of Bussotti's piano works on Dec. 25th and STILL don't have it =/

And no explanation as to why? That's appalling.

What Roslavets was it?

As I implied, the recent Hyperion CD containing the early orchestral In the Hours of the New Moon and the much later Chamber Symphony - well worth getting. If you can;t easily find it locally, why not try Records International (www.recordsinternational.com)? They do - and i believe that they're pretty efficient (although I don't know if they have the Bussotti disc that you've already ordered elsewhere).

...I make two silly mistakes in about as many days. My remark that Roslavets's In the Hours of the New Moon was a first recording on Hyperion was incorrect. I knew that Heinz Holliger had conducted its première around 1990 but had not realised (or not remembered) that his recording of it was released almost a decade later; here's the details:

https://www.charts-music.co.uk/P_B000025RXF/Roslavets-Violin-Concerto-In-the-hours-of-the-new-moon.html

As you will see, "soliloquy", here's another reference to that violin concerto of his that you mention!. I've not heard it, so I'd better go searching for this CD myself...

There are actually two Roslavets Violin Concerti, but only one has been recorded =/  I think we should all pressure Naxos to get them done.

[pianistimo]

drunk drivers kill teenagers who aren't drinking and who are acting responsibly.

when plans are changed from day to day as though noone has anything better to do but to start over from scratch.

the socks start being 'raptured' one by one.  even before they get out of the dryer they are missing.

when things stick to a pan or the floor like they are laminated down.

when my hands get tired and i still want to play the piano.

when my head gets tired, for that matter, and i still want to get things done.

when my son's alarm goes off at four in the morning.  why?  i don't know. 

[ahinton]

I know that there are (I should have been clearer in what I wrote on this) - but there will be no need to pressurise anyone to get "them" done, since I understand that Hyperion already plans to record them both later this year. I just spoke to the producer of the Hyperion In the Hours of the New Moon recording and he confirmed this; the reason for my call to him was not about that, however, but to question the discrepancy between Malcolm MacDonald's liner notes about the way that work finishes and the way the piece actually ends on the recording. There are, apparently two editions of the score and the one from which Malcolm wrote his notes included the final bars (which may or may not have been written by Roslavets himself) whereas that which was used for the Hyperion recording was the same as the one used for the only other recording of the piece (on Wergo in 1999) and this ends in mid-air, so to speak. I've not seen either score yet, but I am not unnaturally curious.

I share that hope - just as I evidently share your hope that this new Roslavets violin concerti recording will be made and released soon. Hyperion is usually pretty efficient, so I suspect that such hope need not be unfounded...

I could answer "people who ask what I hate" - but I wouldn't mean it, really I wouldn't! There are undoubtedly plenty of things that I find myself not wanting to be bothered to spend time with, but I hope that I have too much else to do and to think about to be bothered to waste time on hatred per se.

[pianistimo]

what a good answer, my dear alistair.  i suppose we can get ourselves obsessing over problems at times and really not come up with creative solutions until we let go of the problem and start thinking around it.

i mean - sometimes things come up like roadblocks.  sometimes even people.  you come up to them and they sidestep this way and that - and you're not even punching.  so to alieviate the situation - you sit down.  relax.  let them work their tension out.  pretty soon they come and sit down too.

a cup of tea is good for this.

Whilst quoting from one's own posts is usually as de trop as it is redundant, the purpose of doing so here is to follow up on the earlier post with the information I have just received from a reliable source that those interested in obtaining the forthcoming CD of both the Roslavets will have to wait until some time towards the end of summer next year for its release; it will surely be owrth the wait, although I gather that Hyperion are a little anxious right now as to whether they'll both fit onto one CD...

I too appreciate Allistair's attitude of either avoiding or finding solutions for those things that annoy him.   I think we (I) spend far to much time complaining about what we don't like, and not enough time enjoying the good things.  So on that note, I HATE STUPID DRIVERS!!   But the solution is not to drive on roads occupied by other drivers, and that doesn't seem to be possible.  So I guess, I need to let it go and deal with it.

Or you could migrate onto public transport... I don't drive and (allowing that I live in a city with good transport so it works for me) it's great, I just get on the bus and sit reading a book and letting someone else worry about getting me from A to B. Much cheaper, better for the environment, and someone else can worry about the other road-users...

That wouldn't work for most people who don't live and work in cities with good public transport systems. Furthermore, public transport is not often cheaper - yes, low-cost short distance flights within and from UK are often much cheaper and there are certain deals on trains that might be competitive, but for the most part there would be no cost saving. Even those living in cities cannot always depend upon public transport; I live in a city whose public transport "system" is largely useless and whose main roads are all too often cloggued up with minibuses and tour buses as well as other traffic, so the reliability is very low. Even the environmental friendliness of a bus is always compromised by its being stuck in traffic jams pouring out fumes while it attempts to crawl along its route. If you live outside a city, a car is amost 100% essential. I use minicabs in Bath quite often when I have to go into the city, but that doesn't reduce the number of road users.

That wouldn't work where I live.  I live in a rural area, and there's not much public transportation.  I think I need a horse!

[elspeth]

I know I'm lucky... it's one of the perks of living in an industrial city rather than a tourist-infested one. The fundamental trade in Leeds is money, not people, so most of the traffic is residents-going-to-work-based rather than visitor-based. Most public transport is unfortunately part of a vicious circle - it's not there so people don't use it so it doesn't get provided, ad infinitum.

i hate it when... catch 22s occur in things that could really be improvesd if our wonderful government had a bit of backbone and started spending on the things that really need it.

Sadly, Bath is by no means as heavily tourist-infested as it ought to be; the city authorities have spent so much time, effort and local taxpayers' money in creating discouragements both to tourists and people who might otherwise come to work here that the public transport "system" here is not affected by overcrowding in the city itself (although you will doubtless have heard about recent customer protests at Bath train station about overcrowding and overcharging on the trian "system"). The streets of Bath are, for the most part, simply not geared to heavy traffic of any kind or to easy accommodation of public transport to the extent that it would be required if, as some wish, private traffic were to be banned from the city centre - the entire place would have to be acrawl with minibuses and larger vehicles and it would have to designate far larger out-of-centre car parks than exist now, in order to try to accommodate everyone who would then need to gain access to that public transport.

The only way the transport problems in Bath could be solved would be to take away most of the traffic restrictions and somehow force most employers in the city to function on a 24/7 basis; that way, there would be at least the quantity of traffic on its streets as there is now but, as it would be far more evenly spread across the entire day, almost all the jams would disappear instantly and there would be no need to build more car parking facilities as the present ones would be used 24/7. Given that Bath is supposed to be a tourist magnet, the operation of such a policy would be even more appropriate here than in some other cities and it might help to attract back some of the lost tourist revenue to the new "city that never sleeps". This idea would still not make a comprehensive puboic transport system a viable option, as it would simply remain far too expensive to operate; the entire notion is, however, is far too simple for the local authority here.

Public transport has to be paid for and has to make a profit if it is to be maintained - and even more if it is to improve. Whilst there are all kinds of back-handed subsidies given to public transport companies (and heaven knows what nature and extent of fininciall irregularities and corruntions occur to enable that to continue), even these have to be funded somehow; in the end, however, it will have to be the fare-paying cutomers that fund the system, othewise it will go bust and cease operation, just like any other business. Having buses running around every city street 24/7 would cost a fortune and it would almost certainly be more expensive for people to use it than it would for them to use their own cars.

Alistair
