- The phrase "Wall Street vs. Main Street." It's cutesy and overly simplistic, but the thing I hate most about it is that it is just repeated too damn often. Every politician, journalist, and financial expert (over)uses the phrase. Enough with this tired phrase already!
- Cartoon Network showing non-animated shows. It doesn't happen often, but I'm seeing more and more live action shows on CN as I'm flipping around the channels. This is just seems wrong. It would be like if MTV stopped playing music videos....wait....bad example....
- The anthropic principle. Depending on the definition you happen to choose, it's a poorly worded and confusing theory that nobody can test, or it's a poorly reasoned (and lazy) set of unfounded assumptions. Either way, it has no place in scientific thinking.
- Oil company commercials claiming that they are environmentalists. (I loved the Colbert Report parody from last week though...)
- Male beauty products. They aren't marketed under that name yet, but I see more and more soaps and gels and whatever else being marketed specifically to men. This is another thing that just strikes me as wrong. The only men who get excited about Tea Tree oil are either gay or Mike.
- Anyone who wears hats, mittens, or sunglasses while indoors. (gamblers exempted)
- Any and all coverage of the second OJ trial. For the love of God, we do not need updates of the trial on the ESPN ticker. Get rid of legal matters on the ticker, I need my fantasy stats!
- Javon Ringer Heisman talk. Don't get me wrong, he's a great running back, and I love Javon Ringer. But his stats are inflated from playing low-quality teams. As MSU's season gets more difficult, his numbers will come back to Earth. And unless the Spartans can find a #2 back, I will be amazed if he stays healthy. He is averaging 35+ carries per game! Is Dantonio trying to kill him!? Anyway, he will not win the Heisman trophy. Stop talking about it.
- Flo Rider's new song "In the Ayer." Everything about this song is annoying, including the fact that it keeps following me everywhere I go. And it really makes me angry that have to type out "ayer" instead of "air."

I can't stand CN showing non-animated either! It's just like how the Travel channel shows food shows and the Food Network shows traveling shows. Stick to your niche market!
Oil companies are so full of shit. They are the new tobacco companies. Their advertisers are just like the movie "Thank you for smoking".
We had to discuss the metrosexual male market during a class in college - guys getting mani/pedis are ridiculous. (Good job on slipping that Mike reference in there)
Javon will DEFINITELY not win the Heisman - it's going to go to Sam Bradford since Oklahoma is going to the Championship game.
Every rapper is taking Nelly's lead and trying to change the pronounciation of words. Not cool.
Tea Tree wakes you up in the morning!!! It's stimulating. It smells fantastic and cools my scalp. It is the perfect shampoo and you need to get it.
Ringer is good, but he gets the balls sooo much so his numbers are inflated. And his ypc isn't that great either...he kind of reminds me of Kevin Smith last year.
Um, who is this Flo Rider you speak of? I'm starting to feel old...
by the way...9 things you hate.
you couldn't come up with one more for me?
If you don't know the song, consider yourself lucky....
And of course I could have added another entry. There are 0.999 billion more things I hate that I haven't yet mentioned. I guess I just didn't feel like typing out a round number of entries.
