It's a message from the Thanksgiving gods that one shouldn't cut corners when making that big dinner.

Crabs have blood? Eww.

I hate that my husband's on call today!

[Cru Jones]

i hate that today is not a holiday where i live!

Things I Hate:

Litterbugs. Vandalism (this crime when I was a LEO used to make me go ape, 2nd only to rape and robbery).

People who feel free to give you advise when they have no earthly clue in hell what they are talking about, but they feel the need to "enlighten you" and become offended when you dont immediately kiss their feet in gratitude.

People who drive 55 in the fast lane because they feel it's their duty to enforce the speed limit.

Hidden toiletpaper in public restrooms.

People who mispronounce words or misuse them and then try to correct you. (Ugh!)

People who insist on bringing Fluffy with them everywhere.

People who insist on jamming their version of (politics, religion) down my throat at every opportunity.

People who insist on making a perfect 90 degree turn in their huge SUV or must come to a complete halt for a speedbump because they are afraid they might scrape a wheel.

And my biggest one: I hate that nearly ALL advertising in the US regarding anything remotely related to kids shows a Mom in the ad. I am sorry, but as a single dad who fought for and got custody of his son (and is now raising son alone because mom's so called "lifestyle" killed her), you can show someone like me (forget that I am not caucasian) making a damn pb and j in your bread ads, ok?

When I am with my son during the week, I am a devoted husband and father (since clearly I must need a wife to dress me, cook for me, and raise my child). When I am with my son during the weekend, I must be a deadbeat who beat his wife and that's why she divorced me. US society and legal system shits on single dads. Hell I went to law school to get him back.

Speed bumps on regular residential roads.
I had 10 of them on my route this morning. Speed was posted at 50kmh ( 30mph), but I had to slow down to 30 ( 20) on the damn things.
It was a main road, not a parking lot.

[Launch Mini]

I hate having to work on my "new found holiday", US Thanksgiving.
We received the paperwork to support that my family arrived to the US on the Mayflower, so I am a decendant of those original settlers, yet I don't get a day off today.
Bah Humbug

[Esexx]

Well said! Especially for all us singles dads.

12 more hours until EOW...I think I will be nutty by the end of the day. I beter keep my posts minimal.

In support of this I'll share a hate I used to have. I was not a single Dad but I seemed to take more care of my boy when he was a baby. The situation was complicated.

No baby changing stations in men's rest rooms. Back then (he's 15 now) there were never any baby changing stations in men's public rest rooms. I would have to find a couch or bench or other flat surface whenever I had to change a diaper at the mall or any other place I took him.

I wish all dads were like you guys.... My husband wouldn't even know which end to put a diaper on.

I hate people who buy pre chopped onions!

By the way, Crabs do have blood! Otherwise how would I be able to ask my Crab to be "medium"!? Eh!?

...Did you see what I did there?

[lavaman]

Well I fig it this way:

(1) LOTS of folks have it harder than I do. So I try to keep my damn mouth shut.

(2) 10 years being a paramedic, cop, then firefighter before I put myself thru law school..... was all so I could be man enough to be his Dad.

It's all good. No mercy asked, none given.

Don't worry my friend, we're just having some fun here. We aren't really mad at all those things (Lisa being the exception but don't tell her...she'll be mad! ).

[FeelingTheBlues]

I just had the flash guys! I hate the fact that Gibson will not produce more left handed models because they wouldn't sell enough but they will lose their time doing this! Is this supposed to be a left handed joke!?

[316lad]

Flat coke. I hate flat coke - it makes the brandy taste awful.

Oh, and let's be sure this is clear: I'm not mad at Lavaman and Bill. I'm just a little jealous!

[humvee]

I hate all these pharmaceutical ads on TV ---- can't even enjoy a few minutes with the family watchuing tv, without being bombarded with erectile dysfunction ads.
I hope all these pharmaceutical companies go bankrupt.

Actually Jimi Hendrix was very mad at his right handed flipped Stratocaster as well, the rumor has it that he often stormed off the stage screaming "Man, I hate having to watch out for the knobs and having my volume to turn down by accident! What's next!? Reversed Explorers!?"

True story...

So I have heard too.. Also, he was a Strat Boy (Quartz Boy)...

This is more like it I reckon...

This is actually one of my guitars (traditional tho, not standard)!

I hate it when people can't tell the difference between Voodoo Chile and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) or can't write them properly!

Let's set this thing up for once!

Voodoo Child (Slight Return), not Voodoo ChilE (Slight Return):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoAXW30mMAg

Voodoo Chile, not Voodoo ChilD:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_YD8...eature=related

Don't thank me, I'm just trying to help society!

[316lad]

I hate it when people think the words to the song "Lord Of The Dance" go;

"I am the Lord of the dance, said he."

Instead of, correctly:

"I am the Lord of the dark settee."

Amen, Brother Humvee!!!
