Thinking about it, it turns out I hate a lot of things. The following is a list of many of those things.
Books that start with "The sky was..."
Movies that start with a shot of the sky.
Songs with titles that have nothing to do with the song.
Songs with titles that are purposefully misspelled.
Posters that have not-really-inspirational sayings.
Lime-flavored sparkling mineral water.
Singers who do movies.
The ice level.
People who bitch about improper use of the word "ironic."
Commercials that claim their product could fix the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The lava level.
People who, when asked for their opinion, quote the Bible.
Dubbed movies.
People who wink when they're kidding.
Movie ads that start with heavy gunfire and bloody knives and end with "This film is not yet rated."
Movies that end with an obvious, heavy-handed moral.
Bumper stickers that try to be profound.
People who use "I don't watch TV" as a bragging point.
People who, without fail, say "The book was better."
Commercials with good music and bad products.
People who interrupt.
When the bookmark falls out.
Actors who try to make kids' rhymes into bad-ass catch-phrases.
People who sit next to me who have seen the movie before and can't shut up.
Books written in English, with the words on the binding running up instead of down.
Books that fall open to a page you've already read past.
Lots of condensation on the outside of cool bottles.
People who say "You just had to be there."

When very young kids draw.
People who fondle my plush iguana.
United Airlines.
Books that really don't have endings.
People who use L337 when actually speaking.

Conservatives.
Music that tries to be rock when it is not.
People who force their religion on strangers.
Other peoples' nail clippings.

Being a nickel short of exact change.
People who quote comedians and hope nobody finds out.
Bands on MTV that call themselves "punks."
People who tell me about their accomplishments in games I don't know.

Almost falling off the bed.
Stray lettuce.
People who tell me how great it is to have their conviction of choice.
When someone wants me to arm-wrestle them.
People who ask "Cold enough for ya?"
People who don't admit when they don't get a joke.
People who tell you who they're quoting, whenever they quote somebody.
The last whole Pringle.
Things that don't look like they should smell but do.
Americans who slip British words into normal conversation.
People who can only know part of a song, but want to demonstrate anyway.
People who give themselves nicknames.
Bitter hot cocoa.
And seeing the same person I don't know twice.
