I'm still trying to think of things I hate, and not having much luck. I hate TV adverts (having had to sit through shedloads when staying at my sister's) but very rarely see them.
Come on Joe! 'Let the hate flow through you' as Emperor Palpatine would say.

Yes plus one to that - I could forgive them if they were actually funny. And why are female comedians never funny regardless of political hue? Someone should tell them.

I just received an LP and the sole extent of it's packaging was one of those opaque poly postage bags, no cardboard, no protection, no fragile sticker, just the record in the bag.
Not being arsed to even do a half decent job of packing a record is a definite pet hate.
