I Hate This! Blog

This is how bad it is: it’s taken me 3 weeks to disconnect my service. When I cancelled, the gal in the billing department kindly informed me that I’d have to call customer service repeatedly to disconnect my service or else I’d keep getting bills (yes, that happened. Thanks for the heads-up.) I then received collections calls almost every day for several weeks. And every time, I’d repeat my story about why I didn’t owe anything and requested that they stop calling me. And then the phone would ring the next day: “Hi, this is Comcast. I’m calling to see if you can make a payment today.” Someone finally figured out that no one ever officially submitted a disconnect order. The funny thing is, I thought they’d disconnected my service because my service wasn’t working. Just a bunch of static. (I’d always had problems with the digital music channels.)

I’m sick of it and it’s everywhere and it’s going to continue to be everywhere until more of us start dropping little emails to companies like the choice, yet polite, words I’m going to flung at both companies. There is a Hamburger Helper commercial airing right now that shows a series of women, as moms, with the trademarked Helper hand, all talking about making dinner. How delightfully 1950s! Oh, but it continues.

I think I now hate Casio… I tried to download the USB drivers for my camera (which is silly enough) and they don’t offer them anywhere on their websites. Just none.

The only reason why she’s always on the top in music charts is because of her physical image and not so much on her music. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and this is mine. I personally don’t think she is fat and ugly, I have nothing against fat, over weight or ugly people, just young girls who display themselves like this.

You are reading this thinking to yourself “What a loser”, unless you are awesome and kick ass. Then you are thinking, “What a loser, but man he is awesome”. That’s what I think when I look in the mirror every morning.

I hate this thing that my Toshiba laptop does. I don’t even know what to call it, but if someone out there recognizes the behavior and can give me a verb for it, I’d appreciate it, because then I might be able to call Toshiba, tell them the problem, and eventually solve it. I also hate the fact that I can’t even call this thing by its true name: like it’s some kind of demon that can’t be trapped without a magic word.

I hate cavalier coinage of words. The English language has enough inanity without making up words such as those I rail against today: workaholic, chocoholic, and all their little similarly bastardized friends—shopaholic, sexaholic, etc.

My wife and I were at a Tonight Show taping a couple of weeks ago. We didn’t know who was going to be on, we were just there for the experience. The guests were Scarlett Johansson, Larry The Cable Guy, and a band I’d never heard of called Fall Out Boy.

The internet is infuriating 99% of the time and sites like this with their “free membership” tricks just make it less of a resource tool, as it was meant to be, and more of an endless conglomerate of scams and quick buck ideas.

I hate the telephone. The damn thing rings and all I think is: “Who are you and what do you want?!” What you want is for me to answer. Well, forget it. If I wanted to talk to you, I’d be making the call - so knock it off.

I hate jealousy. I feel ill each time that I see it rear its ugly head. This rant about jealousy comes from an individual who would like nothing better than to see me fail. I have no idea why, but the situation is very real indeed.

The press for this movie is like some weird new kind of audial torture that alternates from ear to ear. On one hand, I keep hearing the phrase “gay cowboy movie” - which, really, has all the haunting appeal of someone saying “literate nigger film”. That is to say it reeks of a condescension I could perhaps do without.

I’m a women and I’m 22 years old. And for the years I’ve been alive I found out that I hate the living hell out of people that hate other people that were born different from them. If you are a racist, I hope you die. You sicken me to the point that makes me stay awake at night. You all are terrorists. You say that you love this Country so damn much, and you make other people lives miserable, because they are different.

Many people display their negative attitude towards the aggressively explicit commercials AXE runs to promote their goods… guess it does its job, but everyone is free to say he hates this or that very AXE commercial.

I hate my Nokia 6260. These are the 10 reasons why:

1. It’s a brick!

2. Open it up and its even bigger. Talking into it that way looks like you’re holding up a mousetrap next to your ear.

3. You need to open and twist it and look ridiculous to use the camera.
