I hate it when the warning signs are there and I know better than to ignore them and I do something I shouldn't anyway.

Recently a person I had been friends with for over 20 years came to our house and begged us to lend him money. He told us it was to pay a builder who was coming to rip the renovations he had done to the friend's daughter's bedroom out if the builder wasn't paid. My friend assured us that the bank loan to pay the builder was approved, just held up for a few weeks and the builder needed to be paid now.

The two obvious warning signs we missed were that he had already borrowed small amount from us a month earlier and not paid us back. The other one as that he was desperate, he needed that money right NOW!

I let him have the money and told him that he was to settle all debts with us by the end of the month without fail. I turned out that he actually wanted the money to try and prop up his business. The business has since collapsed and he cannot pay us back. The came to our house knowing we were saving to buy a property and he was prepared to say whatever he needed to con us out of as much of our cash as he could.

I've known him since the 80's and met him through church. He was hardly some guy I met in a bar last week so I glossed over the two warning signs, even though in hindsight, it was obvious all was not well with him. Aug 21 12:24 AM UTC

I hate it when clients ask me to handle trivial amounts of money. I just had an enquiry about a rental property that got transfered to a client's account by accident for an hour. I explained to him that it was a mistake that was reversed an hour later. The computer system isn't set up to handle transfers of less than a day, so although it appeared on his monthly report, he didn't get a credit for it. Next thing, he wants to know how much rent he should have gotten. The rent came to $1.67. I pointed out that as the computer won't do it as part of the monthly rent cycle, it would have to be a manual credit note and obviously not worth worrying about.

Hell no! He wanted his $1.67 and asks for a credit note. I had to write it out, get the CEO to authorise it and sent it to the secretary for a cheque to be written out and posted.

I have now put a motion forward that next years rental contracts will include a clause that we will not credit amounts under $50.00 and there may be a handling fee. All this plus the stream of emails and phone calls for $1.67 ($1.88 inc tax).

Get a life people. We have better things to do here. I write out cheques for millions where I work. This is a total waste of time! Jul 15 7:03 AM UTC

I hate how casinos rig their slot machines to make you lose all of your money. You spin the reels numerous times and you win just enough credits to hope that the next spin will give you more money. You end up spending hours, or if you're unfortunate, minutes, getting near-misses (Jackpot, Jackpot, Fuck), useless combinations (Bar, Jackpot, Fuck), and bonus spins where you really don't win a thing (Click here! Whoops! Shoulda Clicked Over There Instead! Oh Well.). The more eye candy and catchy music the slot machine has, the more frustrating it is when you play it. The casinos and their media shills call these features "added entertainment," but really, whether the slot machine is the old One Arm Bandit or the Super Win-o-Matic 4000, it's still no fun to leave the machine with less than what you put in. If only I was able to mentally hack into the slot machine computer systems, and manipulate the random programming systems to get the winning numbers I want. I also can't just pry the slot machines open and get my money back, because the casinos literally stick surveilence cameras up your ass, and will send their goons to "teach you a lesson". Damn the casino mafia and their psychological games! Apr 16 5:39 PM UTC

I hate gourmet food because rich idiots use it as an excuse to justify being born with silver spoons up their asses. When you look at the way gourmet food is made, there *really* is no difference whether an onion was;

(a) nurtured in the cool breezes of the Swiss Alps, plucked from the ground at the first full moon of autumn to guarantee the firmest textures, dried under the shade of ancient old growth spruce trees until the sweetness is just right, and graded by professional vegetable sorters, or
(b) grown in the back yard of your house, and plucked whenever you need something to cook dinner with.

And the pathetic thing about rich folks is that they would *actually* pay 20 times as much for a fucking onion imported from Switzerland than just showing their faces at the local grocery shop, just because the onion is "gourmet".

Since these rich snobs would fall for anything, even buying useless crap, to prove that they are above us, I propose that if we want to get our money back from them, all we have to do is sell "gourmet" food. It's quite simple to explain. Cheese batch smells like a sewer because you cured it with the wrong bacterial strain? Just sell it as gourmet food! Got a new tomato variety that won't be bought by supermarkets because it bruises too easily? Just sell it as gourmet food! Want to open up a restaurant in another part of the world? Just sell what you make as gourmet food (it sure worked for McDonald's and KFC when they went to Africa and Asia). Just sell your reject food as "gourmet" and I guarantee you that you too will be rich enough to snob over gourmet food yourself! Apr 16 2:32 PM UTC

I hate how poor African workers are slaving in diamond mines every day to barely get by, dying by the wagonloads, just so ignorant, materialistic women in the West can have freaking sparkly jewelry.

"Here's your diamond ring, honey. It costed $7500 and 11 African lives."

And I hate the women who won't marry guys just because they can't afford a ring. Mar 29 7:36 AM UTC

I hate that feeling of impending doom when you realize you've lost your wallet (which, by the way, is what I did today) and also coming to the unfortunate realization that somebody probably stole it and there's no chance of getting it back.

I feel utterly shitastic as of now. Feb 23 7:56 PM UTC

I Hate my parents for destroying & sabotaging my future! I try so hard for finish my school but they don't want me to do this because it costs money and I could be more successful like them. If I've had only one wish I wished I had just normal parents. Parents that love their child and not only looking after theirselves.
I also hate crying cause it shows my weakness..
that's all.

I hate when I meet new people and they ask me what I’m majoring in because I always feel a little shamed when I say Art. I can tell when they look at me they are thinking that I’m just another kid wasting their time and their parent’s money. I often get asked why I don’t just get a minor in art and major in something like psychology. Something they think is more “stable”, “useful”, and more likely to get bigger income in the future. It’s not like I have unrealistic expectations. I know it’s not always easy to find a job in art, I know I might not make a lot of money from it, but I don’t really care because I’m passionate about it. I LOVE art so much! I wish I could carry my gallery with me and show those people that I actually have a lot of potential and that it’s possible that I can get somewhere with it. Jun 22 4:30 AM UTC

I hate psychics. I went to one today, and she seemed to work right on my vulnerabilities and completely took advantage. I went in there for a simple $10 reading and she said there was some negativity surrounding me that she could help me with. Apparently there is some spiritual cleansing crap and when i asked how much it was she goes on to say it is 190 dollars. Being extremely upset with what she was telling me and feeling so anxious, i readily gave in and told her i didnt have all the cash with me but would put $50 and would be back to give her the rest. Now i researched on google how to spot a fake psychic because i had the feeling something just wasnt right, and one of the things is if they claim there is a negative block or curse on you and they can heal you for a crazy amount of money is a good sign to know they are fake. This lady is a horrible lady who really worked on my weaknesses and insecurities. I understand she needs to make a living too, but come on thats so immoral and just plain wrong.

Thats really a pathetic life and they must feel worst about themselves then i feel right now that ive fallen into their trap. On friday, im going back to her office and asking her for partial money back, as i do not even want that spiritual healing bullshit! I hate psychics and people who are so cold and play with other peoples minds&hearts. Its cruel. Mar 24 3:59 AM UTC
