Four Things

A lot of people claim that we use the word “hate” too much. Hate is too strong of a word, they say, and there is no way you can hate as much as you claim. Maybe they’re right. I prefer to think that I am right and that I am perfectly capable of hating pretty much everything I want to. Maybe not “hate” them in an epic or biblical sense, but hate them well enough to make lists of them. Here are 4 types of people I “hate” today.

1. People with non-ironically popped collars (again).

2. People with ironically popped collars.

3. People who I overhear on the bus saying they didn’t vote because “it’s just not worth it, man.”

4. People on the bus who have popped collars and didn’t vote because “it’s just not worth it man.”

Oh, I tricked you there didn’t I? You thought this wasn’t going to be poltical, didn’t you? Well, it’s not…technically. I just find myself angry today over how many people I have overheard lately (on the bus and elsewhere), who didn’t vote because “it wasn’t worth it”, or “the polling station was, like, really far from my house and I was super tired.” These quotes are not even paraphrases, but actual snippets of conversation overheard at my large university where more people should have voted, but instead chose to stay home, or go out for a beer, or wax their chests instead.

I’d better not hear any of those people complain about the way our country is being governed.

I will choke them with their popped collars.
