Things I hate!

Presenting, in no particular order, things that make me want off of this planet

Lip injections - You're not a porn star, you're a real estate agent. Stop it. You look ridiculous.

Luxury SUVs -  "I want an SUV....but I want to pay MORE for it!" or alternatively "I'm one of the few people that actually has a practical need for an SUV...but how will people know I'm rich?!"

People who honk at me when I'm taking an unprotected left -  Sure I'll just go straight, instead of to my house, because you're an inpatient dick. Fuck ooooooofff.

White people preaching about racism - Notice i didn't say "talking about" I said "preaching". Absolutely have these important conversations and open up dialogue when you feel someone's comments or behavior are hurtful. But don't try to co-opt minorities' anger as your own. You might think you understand, but you don't. You're from the suburbs.

Undecided voters - If you're reading this you're probably my friend so no i don't actually hate you of course, and i know there's more to politics than social issues. BUT you can't claim to be a pro-choice person who believes in gay marriage rights then vote for Romney. You just can't, I'm sorry. I said so. Just because you may not need an abortion or to get gay-married doesn't mean you don't have an obligation to support the issues you claim to believe in.

People who think feminism is a bad word - At its core, feminism means you believe women should have equal rights to men. No more, no less. Feminism encompasses varying schools of thought and feminists do not fit into one mold (talk to two of us and you may find completely opposing views on prostitution and strip clubs for example) and we especially don't fit the angry "feminazi" stereotype. You know who coined that offensive term? Rush Limbaugh. If you say you believe women are equal but defensively stammer on about how you're not a feminist, I'm going to give you side-eye forever and ever.

Overpriced food - Not to be confused with expensive food. I have no qualms about dropping 100+ dollars on a nice meal, but don't serve me two scallops you asshole. I mean I guess that's technically "scallopS" plural, but you and I both know I just got fucked over.

Overly hoppy beer - Not everything needs to taste like a goddamn bouquet. Where's the maltiness, the balance? You leave a bad taste in my mouth and it makes me sad.

Leaked celebrity nude pics - Or in this case, people that create a market for them. I've seen otherwise progressive, gentlemanly friends of mine go gaga over some starlet's hacked Iphone photos. A woman's naked body is not there for you to look at unless she has given you permission, you entitled butthead! The concepts of privacy and consent don't go out the window just because someone has a job where they're in the public eye.

Margarine -  Eat real butter. Not too much of it, but c'mon. Life is too damn short.
