This is not The Haters Club You're Looking For discussion
Intro Thread - Lurkers and newbies, this is your in




I hate people that wear a sweatshirt and shorts. If its that cold, shouldn't you be wearing pants?
I hate when people constantly tell stories about their children, and I hate that I've turned in to "that person".
I hate going to Wal-Mart (a necessary evil) and dodging carts and passing old ladies to stand in line for 30 minutes.
I hate book snobs.
I hate (as of this morning) starting my car 30 minutes before I leave for work so I don't get frostbite.
Let the mocking begin!

Euro-hippie!
Megan, I agree with the book snob hate, but I don't agree with your choice to live in Iowa. I know nothing about it, but I feel comfortable saying that it's the most boring state in the union. Also, you're spelling your name wrong at least once. It's just bad form.

My closest neighbor is 1/2 mile away, I'm sure they don't mind. I like living in the country with no close neighbors to bother us.

I have lived in Iowa my whole life and can't seem to get away. Its not as bad as you would think. It is kinda sad that the only thing to come out of Iowa is Tom Arnold, Ashton Kutcher, and corn, but don't hold that against me.
I can't explain the name spelling without revealing my favorite books, which would cause more mocking, so you get no answer.

I've limited it to every 2-3 weeks. It is the worse place ever. I have limited shopping in my town without going to Iowa City or the Quad Cities, which is only 20 minutes away or so, but then I gotta deal with traffic, which I hate.

Most of them I am active in, some more than others though.

I don't know what you're talking about. I think I've heard they have these things in Alaska and other ridiculously cold places. Maybe they have them in Iowa.
Megan, even if the only thing to come out of Iowa was Ashton Kutcher, that's a lot to be proud of.


I feel so welcome and judged. Thank you.

Good luck with that.

I am told all the time that I am a major hater. A short list:
"marrieds" on facebook
People who are smug
twi-hards
Christmas music, especially "the christmas shoes"
oprah
breeders
Whoever posted booksnobs, I am totally on board.
I was a literature major in college, and let me tell you book snobs are the cherry on my annoyance sundae.

I'm not counting myself as a "married" on facebook but maybe I am. I'm probably smug too. Fuck!
I hate Aileen.

wife: I love my husband times 1000! I made him a grilled cheese! (5:16)
Wife: He loves my grilled cheese! We are perfect together! (5:19)
Wife: I am so luckkky! (insert taylor swift lyrics) (5:24)
Husband: I love you boogerhead! (6:03)
Wife: I love you too snuggleug! xoxox we are going to be togetha 4 eva! (6:09)
I am sure everyone has at least one "married" on fb?


I feel so welcome and judged. Thank you.
That's a pretty good first day around here.
Great job, Rusty. Give me your address and I'll send you a prize.
You never stop, do you?

This is a great song (especially if you're 35 going on 90, as I am), but the title is the thing.

And yes between our two cars our electric bill jumps about 100 and some change during the winter months... so you know 7 months out of the year.
as of yet they haven't come up with a way around square tires yet.

I really like all of your hates. To clarify, what qualifies as a book snob? Is it when I overhear two women at Olive Garden talking about how magical the latest Nicholas Sparks book is and assume they are idiots?
With regard to TwiHards, I thought they were SUPERFANS- you know, the ones who buy the posters and those Edward Cullen body pillows and who paint glitter on their boyfriends... am I wrong?

I live only ten minutes from the Herbert Hoover birthplace and museum. I was a bridesmaid (which I also hate) this past summer and the wedding party had to get pictures in the "natural Iowa prairie" that is part of it. Which basically means 4+ foot tall grass with really sharp blades wearing heals and a corset dress walking up hill. We had to lift our dresses within an inch of public exposure so it wouldn't snag and then fall on our faces. It was hell. I now hate Herbert Hoover.
Grant Wood has paintings on display at my library. I have nothing against Grant Wood.

What kind of car do you have? It should not be freezing up like that at -10.

How often do you drive it?
Okay, this is where you introduce yourself. You can tell us where you're from and whatnot if you like. Most importantly you need to tell us what you hate, and make it funny. You can be clever or you can be vulgar. You can talk about Emily Bronte or you can tell us about your kid's diarrhea. Just make it good.
