Things you hate

I thought of some more:

- Diet cokes that have just come out of the fridge (especially in a shop). Just NO. They need to be at room temperature (and by that I mean 70F and above).

- People making assumptions

- Racewalking

- Nike Pegasus shoes (the modern updates, not the old ones).

Corporate speak: The words "pivot" and "nimble" drive me up a wall.

Also, folks that don't wear a mask over they're nose. The virus lives in your nose! Aaargh!

Putting a phone up to ones ear. The year is 2021...we now have hands-free devices and bluetooth.

People who think they're all that and special who talk trash about others frequently, but really these people don't have any notable accomplishments or unique talents of their own.

- People who brag

- Cold weather

- Waking up an hour before my alarm goes off

- Showing up for a 10 k race and the course is only 9.8

- People in front of me taking too long to deplane at the end of a flight

- Noisy children, especially in restaurants or airplanes

- Going to the dentist

Getting excited about running a PR only to find out the course was short.

The phrase, "that's a game changer"

The confederate flag

Also, many political things that I will not include on this thread

This opinion. Everything else I’m cool with.

I quite like the word 'nimble', but I suppose it depends on context. How are they saying it?

All dogs

• Ice on the floor

• Overly bright running shoes with jazzy designs

• cold weather

Before someone says they hate people not knowing the difference between "they're" and "their", I realize I typed the wrong one. I'm dumb.

Look it's ok, we will let you off, it was an obvious typoe.

HOWEVER! I am not sure why listening to the phone is better in the air than by your ear.

The word "organic" as a synonym for "natural" rather than its correct scientific definition.

• When there is no milk

• Things that don't make sense yet are purported to make sense

I noticed that you don’t hate water on the floor. Luckily most of the time you can just wait out the ice on the floor until it becomes water on the floor.

Although, you are extra screwed if there is cold weather and no milk (typically when there is no milk, a snow storm was predicted so everyone rushed to the store to buy all of the milk for some reason).

I don’t think anyone would have mentioned it. People don’t expect pirates to be smart.

In a nursery rhyme.

Bicyclists and their smarmy "I'm better than you" attitude, although they do not lord it over us as much as they did in the past. Lance Armstrong sure brought bicyclists down a few notches.

I’m sorry? You don’t think a guy with a beer gut should dress like Lance Armstrong in order to bike 14 miles to the pub and sit there for four hours drinking beer and eating garbage in his spandex bodysuit?

Enablers, they are weak minded people. They benefit from feeding someone else’s monster, they enjoy fuelling someone else’s delusion just so they can watch them crash and burn. I hate them.

When letsrun advertises me a Ducth prostitute (as if I can't find one for myself!).
