Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[yesno]

I woke up deaf this morning, which is not great, so I thought I would call a friend who is a doctor and ask them what they thought.

But I can't.

Because I'm deaf.

So I have to rely on internet symptom sites which tell me I probably have throat cancer or syphilis. I hate internet doctors.

Well, shit.  I hope you get better.

I think maybe you should see a doctor face to face, feller.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Yeah, are you still deaf, DrCam?  Like completely?  Please update. Hope you're OK.

currently i hate when people say "not so much"

i have no rational explanation for why this bugs me so much

Me?  Not so much.

Waking up deaf sounds scary and unnerving. One time I lost all the hearing in one ear (which is a problem considering I already am hearing-impaired and wear hearing aids) and went to the doctor. I'd rather not go into detail because it's kinda gruesome, but in the end they couldn't figure out what happened and eventually my hearing came back.

On topic, I hate when adults whine about about something "not being fair." Where is your dignity?

I consulted with a physician compadre via text message, and he diagnosed me as having blocked eustachian tubes, then prescribed sniffing salt water up my nose.

It was very messy, but it did the trick.

I hate finding out that good friends are getting divorced. This happens more and more often these days.

Settle down, Hitler.

I hate when people say prolly instead of probably which is an overused cop out answer to a yes or no question anyway. The only similarity to your gripe is I know a guy who uses both.

Prolly most people hate that.

[DoodleJump!]

I thought "prolly" was a text-message word.

[yesno]

Use of the term "button-down" to refer generically to a shirt that is buttoned rather than a shirt with a button-down collar.

[Sarah]

What?  I have never heard of that.  How idiotic.

[erika]

How do you feel about the term "hoodie"?

[yesno]

Sarah, I think you have been in isolation from society since the sad rise of "office casual," which I blame for the loss of certain vocabulary terms.  The metaphorical term "shoe leather" is also being lost as many men no longer own any shoes with leather soles, causing them to associate the term with uppers.

How do you feel about the term "hoodie"?

It seems like a well-needed short version of "hooded sweatshirt."  I think there is some confusion as to whether it's restricted to the zipperless variety, however.  Hoodies seem to be controversial in Britain for some reason.
