I hate disingenuous posts, sophistry, doublespeak and people hiding behind semantic niceties.
I tend to read the CE board with my teeth clenched.

I hate sharing a bank account come Valentine's Day. What's the goddamn point of the flowers, veal, and expensive wine if she's just gonna fucking wince at the shit when she balances the checkbook? Blah. Christmas and birthdays, at least you can do the "okay, we're gonna budget ourselves and take this much cash out", but Valentine's Day doesn't really warrant that.

I hate the forced romance of Valentine's Day. Silly "holiday". I hate the girls who base how much they think their partner loves them by how big a bouquet/diamond/box of chocolates they get. I hate the people who think a day of spending a lot of money on cheap chocolates and overpriced flowers excuses their halfass treatment of their partner the majority of the time.
Yes, I'm grumpy.

I treat it like any other jackass holiday out of the year. It's what you make of it. They're all fun if you just use them as an excuse to have fun.

If I suppress my hatred for religious zealotry, can I have some brownies?

I hate people who sell out for brownies.  And also, I hate how quiet it is in here today. |

Yeah, well, we'll see if I'll be sharing any brownies with you once I get them from Phil...
Oh, and by the way, the answer is no, I will not be sharing them.

This is all true, but I'm about to get spicy crabcakes in hot and sour thai soup and braised pak choi in oyster mushrooms! Ummmm..... so not so bad after all. Save me a brownie. |

That's pretty selfish for Valentine's Day, Rocky. No wonder I'm grumpy. It's OK though - I just treated myself to a chocolate chunk buttercream square (brownie filled with chunks of Belgian chocolate , topped with dark and white buttercream icing and drizzled with dark chocolate.) So you can take your plain ole brownie and shove it. ~ Oh, and don't get me wrong. I don't hate EVERYTHING about Valentine's Day. I like the special meal/bottle of wine aspect of it all. What I don't dig is the contrived overpriced flowers 'n' chocolate hearts deal. I hate that it seems to be a competition between too many brainless girls I know, to see who gets the best gift from their partner. That's just stupid. I guess I'd just much rather S. surprise me with flowers or concert tickets or something on a random day, instead of him feeling like he HAS to buy me something on V-Day. That being said, I DID make a stop at the lingerie store today... I never said the day was ALL bad.  |

I hate:
Traffic Jams
Anti-smokers, the really annoying ones. Or even worse, Born Again Non-Smokers!!
The sound of the alarm clock every morning
Work
Phone calls with ID witheld
Telemarketers
50 Cent
Mariah
Women with B.O.
Insects
Cats [not kittens]
Getting haircuts
Getting my face tangled in spiderwebs when walking through bushes
Shaving
That song "You're Beautiful" by that dude with the really annoying voice [which because of bloody V's day has been getting an extra few spins...]
