CALLING ALL SPARKLERS: What’s the One Thing You Hate That Everyone Else Loves?

People are generally sensible. I’m lying, we’re all terrible. We can’t agree on anything and we’re always ready to fight. Sometimes the disagreement is 50/50, with half the population heartily in favor and half the population vehemently opposed. Example: Kanye West. I feel like it’s a pretty even split with Kanye West. Sometimes it’s more like 70/30, like with garlic bread. Most people like it. Some people don’t. That’s okay.

But other times you’re the lone sane person in a vast sea of delusion. Everyone likes the thing, but you know the truth: the thing is terrible. For me, this thing is summer. In theory, I like it. There’s no school. The sun is shining. Popsicles are everywhere. But beneath this bright and shiny popsicle-laden surface lies something sinister. Everyone’s gross and sweaty. I’m allergic to pollen. Bugs are back, and this time it’s personal.

I’m sorry. I know that hating on summer makes me a black-hearted wraith of misery. It’s just that I really hate flip-flops. I hate them so much.

So tell me—what do you despise? What do people hate you for hating? I’m asking out of my own self-interest, actually. I need to know that there is as much hate coursing through the veins of others as there is in my abominable, summer-loathing carcass.

Cream cheese frosting is our MORTAL ENEMY and anyone who likes it is FOOLING THEMSELVES. What’s wildly popular thing do you hate?
