It's The Loathed; The Absolutely Hated: THINGS

[Duke]

I hate it when facebook recommends that I be friends with my ex girlfriend. We're not friends anymore for a reason, dammit!

I actually hate it when it recommends that you be friends with people that your contacts are friends with or people you've only dealt with once.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I really really hate when straight people feel the need to say "no homo" after commenting on a person of the same sex. If you're comfortable enough with your own sexuality, you shouldn't have to make this type of comment. I know I've said that before but it's really annoying.

So in other words, they should mislead others by not letting them know that they are indeed straight.

You really are a f***ing piece of work, aren't you...

do you also tell people you're not Mexican when you eat at a Mexican restaurant? because I would totally be misled if you didn't clarify that before hand.

Don't do it, flu shots are REALLY bad for you. Your body is well equipped to deal with illnesses without shooting yourself up with chemicals. All a flu shot does is make the flu strain evolve into a stronger flu strain. True story.

I've never had a flu shot in my life.

I hate when the people in the drive thru line tell you to drive forward or on the side and wait to get your food. Not to mention the line isn't busy at all.

 

[Anubis]

You gotta wait for the Fries.

 

[Hound55]

Next time, buy your order - make a note of what the charge you, go to another of the same fast food chain and give them the order you just took and tell them the amount they told you...

To make it even better, reverse through the drive-thru when doing it...

There are few things I find more ridiculous than this.

 

[Anubis]

Or, get a pistol and a ski mask, and totally rob them.

 

[Hound55]

Now that's a REALLY big practical joke...

Speaking of fries, I hate it when they give you semi-cold or stale fries.

I'm not a doctor or anything, but I've seen this to be the case. In fact, my mom got a flu shot and now she's sick in bed, while I ave never gotten a shot and I've never really been sick like that.

Of course, I think getting a flu shot is supposed to help you get sick so your immune system can get stronger, but then again, that deletes the whole purpose of getting a shot to prevent you from getting sick.

 

[wiegeabo]

The purpose of the flu shot is not to get your sick.

It's to train your immune system to develop antibodies against the flu strain without making you sick, thereby preventing you from catching that particular strain. (Or those strains if the vaccine is based on multiple viruses).

Flu shots use dead or severely weakened (in nasal spray vaccines) flu viruses. That way, if the weakened virus does happen to make someone sick, it's so minor that they don't really feel anything.

People who get sick after a flu shot usually either get a different strain of flu virus (really, how many of us can tell the difference between flus), caught the strain in the shot before the shot could take effect, or the shot did nothing for them (could have been too weak or diluted, or their immune system just didn't respond to it) and don't build the immunity.

It's relatively rare that a shot based on a weakened, rather than dead, virus causes the flu. What people usually experience are flu-like symptoms which are actually a negative reaction to the serum in the shot. But usually that happens with people who already have weakened or compromised immune systems for whatever reason (like they're already fighting something off but don't realize it).


Seven years straight with flu shots, and I think I had one flu, months after the shot. And I've had flu shots before that and don't remember ever getting sick from one.

 

[SuperFerret]

Vaccines help, but they're not perfect. Here's a fun fact: each individual immune system is different and works differently.

Also, getting the flu and getting a flu shot is basically the same thing when considering the results. Your immune system is prepared and able to fight off that virus for the rest of your life. The flu virus mutates quickly and there's a whole slew of them each year. Flu shots work or not depending on how close the estimated mutation the strain will take is to the actual strain that develops.

I just don't think injecting myself with **** is good idea, regardless of the situation. Our bodies are pretty amazing things and can handle a lot.

I hate when my ego gets too big in workouts and I end up doing things I would never coach any of students to do.

 

[SpideyVille]

I hate how people, especially bigger people, bring huge backpacks to things like Comic-con and make it hard for others to walk in the already tight spaces. I mean seriously, what are they carrying inside that they couldn't just leave home without.

Tell that to the people who have lost children to the flu.

If you don't want to take it, fine. But the reason people get it is so they don't get sick in the first place. There's nothing miraculous about a vaccine. The body is still doing the amazing thing of immunizing itself against the disease. It's just doing it while avoiding the getting sick part.

Their girlfriends.

Wearing flip flops.

It's alright to wear them around the house since I do that too to be comfortable but why wear them to the mall, concert, grocery store too?

I'm fine with women wearing flip flops but when guys are wearing them they tend to drag their 'effing feet on the ground as if they had lead in them.

Corollary:

Don't stand in the middle of the ****ing aisles to talk or look around. Get out of the damn way!

Last time I was at Comic-Con, it was so much faster to get around by going through the booths and exhibits instead of around them. That's backwards!

This.

There are women who wear them to my work. Even when it's not casual Friday!

I'd rather not, that's bound to be a depressing as hell conversation.
