Does anyone else hate 90% of all people?

[iBlue]

Hate is a strong word. I don't particularly care for a great majority of people but seldom do I bother enough to 'hate' someone. Hatred requires maintenance and usually that says more about the hater than it does about the hated. It's a very self-destructive way to live life. I think more often I find myself disappointed with people but even more I am disappointed by my own reaction and expectations. It's a learning process, I suppose.



As for this discussion of hatred for crying babies, I don't know that I understand that one entirely. I don't like crying babies, not one bit, but I tend to dislike the parents more for carelessly subjecting everyone to that. The babies can't really help that they haven't yet learned how to express themselves. sometimes they never do learn and grow up to be awful adults. Learning to express yourself is an important and learned skill.

What I mind most of all is children (& the parents of) who are old enough to be taught better being allowed to act like little heathens while their parents sit idly by. THAT pisses me off.
I went through a particularly angering time at an airport not long ago with some HORRIBLE children, in particular a 6-ish year old boy who was off the rails. I was kicked, slapped, jumped on, screamed at, had my bags knocked over, etc etc etc FOR HOURS, and I was not the only one who was being harassed by this little monster. The mother did literally nothing about it and it was her that I was more angry at. </tangent>

being allowed to act like little heathens

And how do heathens behave, pray tell?

May not have been the best choice of words (technically I'm a heathen) but it's the word I absent-mindedly chose to describe some genuinely awful deviant behaviour.

If I want my hate number to go up I just visit Walmart. LOL

OMG I know right? Have you ever been on a carnival or princess cruise? I'd go just to hate people but I'm afraid poverty is a communicable disease, and my economic OCD doesn't let me.

@Duke: can I fly on your airline? My mom has some horror stories about flying back from China after adopting my little sister. something like 10+ hours, screaming babies everywhere, turbulence, idiotic sister in law, etc...

4 solid years working in a children's clothing store means I'm now blissfully numb to badly behaved children/crying babies.

They drove me crazy in the beginning but now someone has got to be going bat **** crazy to even start to annoy me.

 

[skunk]

Used in the sense of asking, of course, in an entirely heathen sense.

Omg this thread is me.

Me and my friend had this conversation of why we cant stand stupid slow people and I think it stems from working with the public for so long and dealing with too many stupid idiots.


Even at work I get stuck behind slow dumb people who walk in the middle of the hall and take up space and walk slow. I dont care anymore I'm rude and squeeze by.

Perhaps these dumb people hate 90% of rude folk who barge past them?


We really are a rather testy lot, it would seem.

 

[Simplesimon101]

yeah i hate all those selfish people... they never think about me

 

[chstr]

humans are no more than animals.... you know it and I know it. let us stop this facade

 

[nazuk]

Its funny if you cut someone off while driving unintentionally, they will yell, hok, give the bird, etc

If you do the same thing when walking, a simple im sorry negates all feelings of ill will

what is it about cars

They are an extention of most peoples' ego! Or in most cases with us blokes (men) - an extention of our penises.

Of course, women don't like it, and most of them are dumb.

Ahhh, I feel better now. /breathe.

 

[nazuk]

i hate babies on planes, in theaters, library, everywhere

no matter where i go, i hear ONE baby go WHAAAAAAA

so effing annoying and it lasts forever


im going to start an airline that bans babies lol

This is worrying, you are saying exactly what i think in your posts!
...Great minds think alike.

 

[pachyderm]

You never know, maybe they're crying because 90% of babies don't like you?

Well done Mr.Cakes, well done.

My suitcases take much, much less space than a stroller, and I move much faster with it than mothers with strollers. And when I'm immobile, I pull it up against myself, upright, so it barely takes up any space.

As for people in wheelchairs, most wheelchairs those days are small and only take up the space the person would've have taken if standing, maybe a bit more. And the subway/buses have a designated space for persons in a wheelchair so they aren't really obtrusive. The only time I'm particularly inconvenienced by anyone on a wheelchair is if one gets on or off the bus while I'm on it (means a long, drawn-out process or retracting the stairs, then this platform comes out, the wheelchair goes on it, it lowers to the curb, and then reverses to get the stairs back out). But I try not to be annoyed because it's not the person's fault, and there's no other ways of doing it.

Strollers, though... arrrrgh! Some people got those tiny strollers that take up hardly any space at all. I applaud those people. The ones who get huge strollers with huge overheads and huge fluffy things...

The irony here is your hate for other peoples "ignorance" or "rudeness" is really based on your own ignorance. Now sorry to single you out, but this post pretty much magnifies everything the "hate camp" has said thus far.

Let me explain - The difference in baby strollers you just described, the small ones vs the large ones, have purposes. One main difference is the small "umbrella" strollers that are compact tend to be for older kids who can sit up, are a little bigger, etc. These strollers also have no place to put things like diaper bags, toys, etc. The "large" strollers you described are for very little babies up to toddlers. Smaller children need the support, the place to lay down, and the mothers need the storage to put diapers, wipes, bibs, pacifiers, toys and other things to keep them from crying (more irony, things required to keep the other haters above happy lol).

It just boggles my mind when people have a problem with this. What do you propose these poor mothers or fathers do? Carry the kid in their arms everywhere? Plus the bags? Have you ever carried 20lbs for more than a few minutes? What do you think YOUR parents did? You think these "people" (and by people i mean parents, whom we all have) are ignorant when it is you yourself that is the selfish ignorant one.

This thread is partially peoples pet peeves, partially peoples jealousy. You HATE spoiled kids? Why? B/c they have more than you? How does that hurt you? You hate people that go out and party? The list goes on. Hilarious.

To the 10% who hate with the other 90%... The other 90% are all playing in the sandbox just fine together. I would wager to say its your 10% that can grate on our nerves. The difference is the 90% people all realize that we live in a society - a place with lots of different people at different stages in their lives with different agendas. Feel free to box yourself up in your house, complain on the internet, and come up only for food and air. But your the minority. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure that whether its on the street, at work, at a bar, or just reading a post on a forum...i find that I absolutely hate so many people.

And its not really without cause; so many people just do or say such retarded stuff like they have no self-awareness.

I think that if you don't feel the same way, than you may be part of that 90%.

I'm not fussy about other people's abilities or inabilities, especially if they're net-friends. Why? Cause the chances are I'll never ever meet those people. And I think if you have to think about it; then dude, you spend way too much time in online communities.

You are certainly a great example of someone who has self awareness.

Good one.

A baby's cry is suppose to be annoying to a human. If they sung beautiful sounds when they had something wrong you would be beating the **** out of them all day.

FYI: I don't have any kids, and I don't blame parents for crying babies.

That's interesting, and yes I admit I was ignorant to this. Now that I know, I'll try to be more patient, though I'll still think "just stay at home." (Yes, yes, I know, some mothers are single, or both parents are out and they can't afford a babysitter, etcetc, no need to lecture me).

And no need to be so condescending, I'm sure you have some ignorant moments yourself. So many times I'd be standing somewhere, and someone comes up behind me, tells me something or other. Then taps my shoulder, and when I turn around, I see a annoyed person thinking I'm an ******* for ignoring him. I point to my ear indicating that I'm deaf. Then a "ohhh" expression, and the person moves away.

What if that person never tapped my shoulder? That person'd think "what an *******."

If you, honestly and truthfully, never did that, or thought that, then I tell you: you lie.

Really!?!? Seems like you've got the whole parenting thing down though...

Now that I think about it, I never hear babies crying in public. Maybe I just don't pay attention to the outside world...

Only 90%? I tend to hate about 95+ % of people i come across. People, in general, are mentally retarded. I hope the 2012 thing happens and 95% of earth's population is blown the **** up.. although it's unlikely.

[Hey, everybody, look at me beating Gelfin to the awesome xkcd strip!]

This is another one I was reminded of:

Sorry if it's huge.

Me, I mostly don't have the time or angst to go around hating people anymore. They've really got to earn it, and then distance does wonders. I find "normal f***in' people" (of the "I hate 'em" variety) mostly more amusing than irritating these days. Had a great time on the train this evening pretending to read my book while listening to two thirteen year old skater kids think they were having a sophisticated conversation about politics. Even funnier was when this fifty-something grizzled surfer stoner sort of guy blurted out, "Jesus Christ, this is why I got out of teaching!"

And as far as everybody agreeing with you, man, I can't imagine anything more boring. What would you talk about, like, ever?
