What do you hate the most!
on: March 08, 2012, 01:07:57 AM
What do you guys hate the most? 

For example, I hate stupid meaningless terms, phrases, EUPHEMISMS, instructions, and recommendations.  For Example, when someone says, "a near miss" when two objects almost collide.  IT'S NOT A NEAR MISS, IT'S A NEAR HIT!!!

I got some of this stuff from George Carlin, but it's true!

And I also hate people who go on facebook and post, "LMS" then ask or offer something stupid aftwards.

What I hate the most is not being in a piano lesson with my teachers  ;D.  Second on my list would be any moment I'm not playing the piano.  Third, any second I'm not thinking about playing the piano.  Fourth, anytime there is not enough cow bell.

Cow bell?

You must truly be a really good student then!

IT'S NOT A NEAR MISS, IT'S A NEAR HIT!!!

How is it not a near miss?  It is a "miss", that fell near the target..  seems reasonable..

When I read "near hit" I think of hitting something that is near to me...different perspectives.

...........

I hate it when people ask me to do things for them that they know I don't know how to do, because they know that I will be able to figure it out, and because they are unwilling to figure it out themselves.

It is a near miss. It is nearly a hit.

Hmm well lets say that two planes almost collided.  Do you say that they nearly missed or nearly hit?  You say that they nearly hit but if they do collide, you say they nearly missed!

But I do understand where you're coming from. 

But yeah I hate people who are so reliant on other people!

Tailgaters, rude drivers, opinionated people, know-it-alls, boasters, people who enjoy putting others down, cruelty, rudeness.

Oh my god in speaking of driving, I hate rubbernecking!!!   

I also hate people who are oblivious of their effect on other people.
