The Hate File
There are many things that happen in everyday life that we just hate. I mean, how often have you said or heard someone else say, "Do you know what I hate?" or "I just hate..." and then go on to explain what it is that they hate? The Hate File gives people anywhere in the world the opportunity to vent their spleen where others can join in and comment. Join me in venting your spleen to the world; pe

Do you know what I hate?
Hi all,
Firstly, I apologise for my inactivity here and thanks for every one's comments on this. And to those like ariadneK, Ph.D. and El Charolastra and the many others who have contacted me privately, I'm so sorry if I appear in active but I don't like frivolous posting. Please don't despair, I'm doing some research for my next post. It involves how a number of people who worked in the same office died, one by one and many other co-workers have been struck down by a serious medical condition and it would seem nothing much has been done about this. Yes, some investigations were carried out by the relevant authorities but these have resulted in no real conclusions or outcomes! Are they a whitewash? It's all very interesting to me, really it is and I'm going to stick my neck out and will invite you for your opinions about this very perplexing and horrible situation. Hope to be back soon.

Sheriff's clamp on dodgers
2006-09-01 15:31:00
On June 18, I posted about the Denver Boot. Coincidently on that same day tough new wheel-clamping laws came into force in Victoria on 18th August, and so now Sheriff's officers patrol car parks across the state on the look out for drivers with unpaid fines for traffic offences, parking tickets, public transport fare evasion and other offences. Officers now carry Eftpos machines so fine dodgers can pay their dues on the spot.
Fine dodgers were given warnings over the last month that their cars would be clamped if they did not pay up. The Government sees wheel clamping as one way to get the money owed. Sheriff's officers are now able to check if a driver has unpaid fines through registration details and the new laws give officers the power to keep wheel clamps on cars until fines are paid. Furthermore, defaulters also face driver's licence and motor vehicle registration suspension, payments deducted directly from your wages and even sale of property.
Does this happen in your part of t ...

The Devil Dog
2006-08-12 03:47:00
You won't believe this follow-on post from the Sunday, February 19, 2006 post titled, They Just Terrify Me. While out walking on the afternoon of Thursday, July 27, in Mill Park, a northern suburb
of Melbourne, 82 year-old, Antonio Olalla was attacked by a battle-scared pit bull terrier as it killed Mitch, one of his two small Maltese terriers. The pit bull mauled Mr Olalla's arms and hands as he tried to save Mitch. The Herald Sun reports that a neighbour saved Mr Olalla's life by beating the dog with a stick during the savage attack. But what's really scary about this particular dog attack is what followed......
The dog left Mr Olalla bleeding and followed his scent to his home, walked through an open door and attacked Mr Olalla's 81-year old wife, Maria. Mrs Olalla heard the dog and thought it was either Mitch or Bianca, their small Maltese terriers but when she turned around she saw the savage pit bull. The dog cornered Mrs Olalla in her kitchen however she managed to ...

Dying for a Pee!
2006-08-01 12:05:00
Do you know what I hate? I hate it when it just doesn't happen. You go, you stand or sit, you hold it, you stroke it, you shake it, you curse it, you think about waterfalls, rain or whatever but it just doesn't happen! It's very embarrassing when someone is standing on either or both sides of you, or anywhere near you, whether they're really there or just in my imagination.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, this type of social anxiety disorder is known as paruresis, or pee shy, shy kidney, bashful or shy bladder syndrome, or dysuria. It's a type of social anxiety disorder, that can affect both men and women, in which the sufferer finds it difficult or impossible to urinate in the (real or imaginary) presence of others, such as in a public restroom. It also applies Also, for people who have difficulty under the stress of time pressure, when being observed, when others are close by and might hear them, or when traveling on moving vehicles such as trains or planes.

The Denver Boot
2006-06-18 17:31:00
Do you know what I hate? Being booted. In the previous post we talked about parking meter fines and now it's been reported that in Melbourne, Australia drivers that don't pay their fines could find their car wheels clamped. Armed with clamps, teams of Sheriff's officers will prowl the streets and car parks on the lookout for serial fine dodgers. They will check car registration details looking for drivers with unpaid fines for such offences as traffic offences, parking tickets and public transport fare evasion and clamp offender's vehicles, then wait for the drivers to return. They will carry Eftpos machines so defaulters can pay on the spot to have their cars released. Driving licences and car registrations will also be suspended.
The report said that 1 out of 5, that's 20% of Victorians don't pay their outstanding matters when they fall due and that these sanctions are directed at them....why that's staggering stats and so I guess the State has invested in lots of wheel clamps and ...

Your Time Has Expired
2006-04-12 07:40:00
Do you know what I really, really hate? Parking meters! I just hate them and I know it's only a lousy couple of bucks but I hate having to feed them. However, what really ruffles my feathers something out of the ordinary and makes me so angry is when I drive into town, park the car rush into a store or to some appointment, rush out to get back to the car and I see RED, that TIME EXCPIRED message across the meter. "Gotya." Arghhhhhh!!!!
But then what really makes me grrrrrr is what I fear most, that dreaded parking infringement notice stuck onto the windscreen. "Make My Day!" I curse. I mean every now and then you just can't help it when you're a few minutes late but sure enough those darn parking officers will be near your meter when it expires!!! Arghhhhhh!!!!!
What all cities should do is introduce what they did on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. There, wearing nothing more than a small gold lame lycra bikini and a gorgeous smile, good Samaritan meter maids patr ...

Treading Water
2006-03-16 04:41:00
Do you know what I hate? I hate treading water. After reading the post about dog attacks I thought I'd share this fear with you. When we were young my parents used to always take us kids to the beach and we'd really enjoy swimming and getting tossed and splashed by the surf. In fact, once in, we never ever wanted to get out of the water. However, ever since I saw Jaws, I just can't find the strength to get into the water. The thought of a shark just terrifies me and I can't explain the fear that it brings on to me. The worse thing about all this, is that I grew up and live in one of the nicest places on earth, along the Great Ocean Road, at Lavers Hill, Australia. And I have to add, there've been many shark attacks along the Australian coastline.

I lost my nuts!
2006-03-11 05:45:00
Do you know what I hate?
I just hate it when I loose things. But, what's worse is when you do loose something somewhere in public, perhaps in the back seat of a cab, and it just never turns up again.......Now I'm a dentist and this happened to me very recently when after a night out with my wife I lost my nut, my Coco de Mer (meaning coconuts of the sea). Maybe you can help me, and besides, there's a reward out for my nut. Now thanks to wikipedia here's a picture of what my nut looks like and if you're game then click the image to enlarge.
The Coco de Mer is sometimes referred to as a Double Coconut or Coco Fresse or Seychelles nut and as you will read here, the Coco de Mer palm produces the largest seed in the world and is endemic to only two of the 115 Seychelle Islands (the islands of Praslin and Curieuses). What's really interesting is that the plants have separate sexes and thus there are male trees and female trees. These large seeds may weigh up to 50 pounds and h ...

Misleading Labelling
2006-02-24 05:04:00
Do you know what I hate?
Now nothing can be further than the truth but I just hate it when you buy something from the supermarket that is labelled as good healthy food and might even boast a National Heart Foundation big red tick of endorsement but when you read the fine print on the packaging in more detail, you see that sure they may be FAT REDUCED but to compensate for the flavour they are overloaded with sugar or sugar derivatives.
From the National Heart Foundation's speal on their Red Tick program, "the Tick is the Heart Foundation's guide to help people make healthier food choices quickly and easily. It also encourages food manufacturers to develop or modify food products that support the Heart Foundation's Guidelines for Tick Approval.
Tick approved products represent a healthier choice within a particular food category. In general, Tick approved foods are relatively lower in saturated fat, sodium and where appropriate, kilojoules. Some are also higher in fibre.

They Just Terrify Me!

"I hate dogs....they terrify me!" wrote Kay Richardson from London.
Of course, not all dogs are dangerous. Most don’t bite anyone. But still, lots do and with the many serious dog attack cases, even recently, some breeds (eg Pit Bulls, Rottweilers) can be very terrifying indeed so I think that many will share your hate Kay....

Tokyo is Beautiful But.....
2006-02-19 15:25:00
Do you know what I hate?
One: "Yokonarabimushi"
Two: "Tomaribaba"
Three: "Kakikomijousha" - added later
Both of the above are (somewhat unkind since deeply exasparated) Japanese slang terms for sidewalk nuisances in Tokyo, producing, whether you believe it or not, as much or more aggravation as lane hoggers do in other places.
The first translating as "horizontally lined up beetles" refers to junior high or high school students, usually but not always girls, strolling along at a sedentary pace chatting, while blocking anyone who wishes to proceed at a faster pace from passing.
The second refers to middle aged or elderly pairs or triplets of females suddenly stopping dead on the sidewalk for whatever arcane conclave they feel is necessary at the moment, causing everybody following in their wake to bump into them, then complain about that - and complain even more if they are pointed out that they caused the inconvenience - to themselves as well as other - by those unlucky followers ...

Lane Hoggers
2006-02-18 01:11:00
Do you know what I hate? I hate it when people just sit there in the overtaking lane which causes those in a hurry to zig-zag in and out from one lane to another in order to get past these lane hoggers. The need to zig-zag in and out of lanes, especially when driving at the higher speeds permitted on freeways and the open highways can cause serious accidents. Come on guys, move over and drive on the right (no pun intended) side of the road.

Truck Blockades

Do you know what I hate? I hate it when driving on a freeway and you come across trucks spread side-by-side across all lanes and you can't get through. Here's a shot taken today in Melbourne on the Western Ring Road. Both trucks doing 100kph and not one of us cars could get through. This highway is notorous for this kind of blockade. Come on guys, move over and let us little folks get through.

Losing an hour of my Life!
2006-02-17 16:51:00
Do you know what I hate? Well if you're like me you'll hate it when you rush and get to the station early enough so that you won't miss your train only to end up waiting at the station for sometimes more than 20 minutes because the train is running late. And then there are cancellations and you have to wait for an hour or so for the next train, grrrrrrrr! So you end up being late for work, school, your appointment with a specialist, or whatever! By the time a train arrives it's like the football game has just ended as the platform is jam-packed with angry people all, like you, determined to get onto the next train, no matter what!
After a long day at work and then hours in a night class at uni, I don't want to be standing on the platform on cold freezing night, freezing my t..s off and losing an hour of my life thank you Connex. And this doesn't only happen at night. Delays and cancellations also happen throughout the day and when it does the impace is worse as the times between train ...

Airport and Airline Security
2006-02-15 07:04:00
Do you know what I hate? I just hate it when you get caught up in airport security. Sometimes I just think that security and customs staff just like to go through a female's bag! Yes I know it's important but how ridiculous is this. Recently I was about to board a Thai Airways International Airlines flight from Bangkok to Sydney and the airport security at Bangkok gave me the third degree and after going right through my hand luggage, refused to allow me to board with nail clippers. "You've got to be joking," I said. Nope, no go! They would not allow me to board with these 4cm long personal nail clippers. The ridiculous thing about this is that when I finally cooled down after boarding, was relaxed and seated, and then when my meal was served, guess what?
Now how stupid is that, a steel knife and fork both 20cm long! I don't care what anyone says but when compared to the knife and fork, there is no way that my nail clippers were a threat or could be considered as a dangerous weapon. ...

Injections

Nice to see that there's been some interesting activity here whilst I've been away on a summer holiday. I can relate to many of the posts, especially the long waits. But what I particularly hate about the dentist are the.....
injections.......grrrrrrr! Yes, I do have to admit, I'm a real sook when it comes to oral injections, any injections for that matter. I'm a needle phobe from way back! I also feel terrible when I get up off the dentist's chair.....I feel like I'm just coming out of a deep sleep; my vision is blurred and........
it feels like the room is moving past me. It's really awful.

The Waiting Room #2
2006-02-11 21:50:00
Do you know what I hate? Well talking about the dentist, I hate it even more when, after having been waiting in the waiting room for what seems hours, they then ask you into one of the surgery rooms, get you seated on the dentist chair and then, thinking that your waiting has come to an end and that you'll soon be out of there, you end up waiting for another 20 minutes if not more, lying back looking at......
the chair's boom arm, the ceiling and the fluorescent lights....uuuuuugh! I guess they think that by moving you from one waiting place to another, you won't feel as bad and angry. They just can't admit how badly behind schedule they are, so what should only be a couple of hours all round at the dentist ends up costing you more than half a day! Of course the same thing happens at the doctor and so on.
What they should do is put a flat screen TV on the ceiling so at least you can watch televsion while lyingthere waiting and even through the treatment; now's there's a business id ...

However, if they
continued to send me their SPAM I'd tape the end of my fax to its head forming a circular page and send them my request once again. Wish there was some way of doing this to unsolicited emails!

"Pizazz" but Crappy Business Cards

Do you know what I hate? Crappy bnusiness cards! Aren't some cards amazing these days? So many are of high quality and lots of design thought, with great colour and graphics, often printed on expensive paper, with raised letters, embossed and even foil stamped, but heck, what are business cards really for? Yes they need to portray an exciting image of you and/or your business but heck what I really hate is when I'm handed a business card and one day I need to contact that person only to find that while his/her name is prominently printed right up front and centre in easily readable large bold letters on some "fancy" card, even with almost 20/20 vision, either because of the "too smart design" or small fine print (usually the latter), I just can't read the darn telephone number or email address!!! ...
