Billionaires.
And billionaire bootlickers.
They are destroying the world and we are paying for it so they can make more money
Most of the time i like to be devils advocate, but in the case of those guys no, fuck em.
Synonyms
Our modern day God rulers who we must praise at all cost even as our world crumbles
Also greedy poor people. Like the pickpocketer, gangster types
My least favorite people are:
- anyone who hates someone else just due to where they are from
- Minnesotans
What about the Dutch?
No, the Belgians.
Good waffles, though.
You just reminded me that Gaufres de Liege exist and I’m sad I’m not anywhere near a place that I could get one.
And beer
Good apple pies, though.
Not to mention the ovens
These are the things I hate:
- Lists
- Hypocrites

- People who can’t count
So you’re from Wisconsin then?
I’m not saying everyone who eats brunch is the worst, I’m just saying the worst people eat brunch.

That job must be so frustrating… People can be such assholes.
People who block the whole aisle with their shopping cart.
People who open their car door on the street without looking for traffic.
People who won’t get out of the left lane.
Take your pick.
People who park in bike lanes
I, also, hate those people, are we the same person?
Possibly, though unlikely. Where were you on the night of August 13th?
Specifically, left lane drivers who match speed with the car next to them.
why do they do that‽ I’m willing to compromise and accept that slow drivers love the left lane because they never have to change lanes since no one in that lane is going slower than them, but why do they insist on matching the speed of the car next to them preventing anyone else from passing?? it’s so fucking frustrating. 😡
People who blare their car stereos and people with excessively loud motorcycles.
Oh yeah, fuck those loud motorcycles (please just use an electric one, they are superior in almost every way by now (but cost…)). I don’t get how these assholes enjoy annoying everyone around them, especially when driving through highly populated areas.
I hate loud motorcycles too but electric motorcycles aren’t ready for mass adoption yet. Nothing electric on the market today has great range and if you’re out in the sticks where it’s fun to ride there usually aren’t many EV chargers. I will 100% jump on an electric motorcycle as soon as the range and charger availability meets my needs but we’re just not there yet. I agree with you 100% on the noise though. A certain subset of riders need to stroke their egos by making loud noise and it makes all riders look bad.
I just want to point out, whilst I don’t think I’ve ever heard actual big bikes with shit exhausts, and only occasionally hear it with 16/17/18 year olds with little 50ccs, or brutalised 125’s. I know some riders, probably quite a few, do use high RPM, which will make it louder, but it is beneficial to the motorbike to use higher revs.
I know, for my bike, which is a sports bike (can’t speak for other types), prefers being ran around just under gear up revs, around the 5k-6.4k mark. This is the range where it gets its power from. You can tell because if you’re in 3rd going about 20mph, it feels sluggish, and I think that puts it around 4k. But as you get faster and the revs pickup, it solves that sluggish feeling. But, in 2nd at 30mph, at about 5.7k, it doesn’t have that issue. I’ve also heard that the temperature difference can also sort of clean the piston head. However, I can’t personally confirm this, as I have no way of doing it.
It’s also why you’ll see people using high revs when overtaking. Because you want that power to safely overtake and get it done quickly.
In short. Yes, shit sounding exhausts on bikes that have absolutely no purpose sounding like that is a dickhead thing to do, but when it comes to big bikes, it can be understandable why you’d need it. Unless I’m fully misreading this and some people in other places have extremely loud exhausts. I’m just speaking from experience.
And, no, I don’t use high revs at night, where it might disturb others, if I’m going past horses, in which case, I’ll pull my clutch and know off the revs, and slowly slide past them (killing the engine could also work, I just haven’t had chance to test it) or if I’m going past children/babies.
Another thing I think happens, but I could be wrong, is on cars, you’ve got the full length of the car to make it quieter. On a bike I’m assuming because there’s like no space, it doesn’t get the chance to get quieter. I think this is just for stick exhausts/actual aftermarket exhausts like an akropovic. Again, this could be complete bullshit, I just wondered if it made any difference.
I personally don’t understand why the loudness and dust pollution (which often also seems to be a bigger issue with bikes compared to cars as well) is much more regulated with bikes and cars, since a lot more people are suffering because of it compared to the “fun” for a few (assholes…).
One way or the other, the future is likely electronic, and I hope that this will happen sooner than later… As when using electronic bikes these issues compared to cars turn around:
- It’s more efficient than cars, because you don’t have these issues with high RPM etc. you have mentioned which is just inefficient combustion
- Even more silent than electronic cars (and I really don’t like the argument, that these vehicles need to be loud for the safety of pedestrians, design goddamn infrastructure that is safe for them regardless of the noise the vehicles make, you may have some kind of automatic warning in the future if this is really relevant).
Also issues like short battery life (or sluggish bike when using a big battery) will likely be solved incrementally in the future. In the meantime please (targeted to politicians) just regulate them slowly towards electronic bikes (e.g. allow only very silent new bikes, which is basically a death sentence to combustion, when very silent).
I haven’t heard a truly loud motorcycle in a very long time, but just today some old guy drives this huge hog up the street and you can hear it coming from a mile away.
As far as motorcycles go, I’ve heard “loud pipes save lives”, in that people will hear the motorcycle and be aware of it when they otherwise would not.
I’m a motorcyclist and that argument is fucking stupid (not you specifically). If you’re drowning out nearby conversation just so you feel safe when you ride a motorcycle maybe you shouldn’t be riding.
Again this isn’t a personal attack on you, I just hate that i get lumped in with the loud pipe mouth breathers when I’ve ridden 200,000 miles on a quiet motorcycle without getting turned into road pizza.
I’ve biked for decades; any biker stupid enough to believe this will end up dead shortly.
It’s just an excuse, if they wanted to be noticed there are much better ways to accomplish it like headlight flashers during daytime. Not to mention some are so loud they create a distraction for other drivers and drown out all other noises which is inherently unsafe. If I can’t hear my car horn (or myself think) over your Harley how the fuck am I supposed to drive? That’s no different than wearing headphones while driving which is illegal for the exact same reason.
Plus, think about where the sound is exiting from compared to where most motorcycles are hit (someone turns left in front of them.) You don’t even have the person most likely to kill you in the direction of your sound waves. It’s just a talking point.
I’ve heard that too. But if motorcycles actually require that kind of public warning then they probably shouldn’t be street legal.
Smug debatelords who “win” the argument they think they’re having with you on a technicality such as spelling or semantics
People who turn every discussion into a debate that they must win.
Dog owners who let their little bastards bark or go off leash in public.
People who stop to chat in doorways.
People who stop to chat in doorways
I don’t understand this one. I hope I’m not doing it.
Is it because it blocks the doorway for other people who need to use it?
Yes. Someone idly blocking a doorway isn’t aware of the space they’re occupying and how it may affect others.
CHRIST YES. It means I need to turn sideways and sidle across the metaphysical line between two people having a conversation who obviously have so much outward disdain for my existence that they can’t be bothered to move three fucking steps to the side where nobody has to maneuver around them. I fucking hate that shit with a burning passion.
Defilers of public washrooms. I’ve been doing a lot of travel recently. I have an ostomy so I haven’t had to “sit down” in a bathroom for several years but for decades before that I did have to do that frequently due to a chronic illness. Travel then was a sheer nightmare of filthy bathroom after filthy bathroom. I still feel anger on behalf of others like me or people traveling with small children etc.
The people that basically destroy toilet stalls are the worst. I walked into a stall yesterday and it was soaked from one end to the other including all over the seat, etc. There was so much on the floor it was obvious this was intentional. Why? What kind of monster did this?
That same trip I went into a bathroom and every stall was inexplicably filled with guys just hanging out. There was a bunch of them all getting changed or something. I waited 15 minutes before giving up. I had nothing better to do since every flight is basically delayed now. I know there’s really nowhere else to get changed in an airport but maybe, you know, go two at a time. Other people exist.
Anyway, people who are just cruel in an anonymous, nihlist way. That’s it.

Im convinced most the piss you see all over the place is from little boys
Also accepted: grown women doing the hover-and-spray.
Source - cleaned public restrooms. Don’t get me started…
Just my opinion but you can teach children not to do this.
You patiently but firmly get them to clean it up when they do it. They don’t get to do anything else until it’s done. They will stop doing it.
You don’t do it if they were panicked, half asleep, or not feeling well and if they need help doing it, you help, but you don’t just let them walk away from it if it happened in the normal course of events (and yelling “you peed everywhere again” doesn’t count).
This is the kind of thing you have to do. It’s easier to just yell at them and clean it yourself. It’s actually much easier.

People who are in their car, driving.
This is only whole they are driving, and it applies to almost every person.
People really lose it when they are driving a vehicle. Either they are a psycho behind the wheel or too non committal and mess up traffic.I am included in this data set, I’m both groups, depending on the day.

People who murder 7 babies
I know that it might not be popular for the sorts of people who are into this kind of thing, but murderers and rapists are not my favorite people.
you should post this in the unpopular opinion community
But if it’s unpopular then I might get support.
6 babies ok? What about 8? Asking for a friend.
If a person killed 8 babies, by definition, they have killed 7, and thus fit the “worst” standard that OP specified.
There are those who are petty and cruel, who enjoy tormenting the weak just for the fun of it.
There are those who are bigoted and desperate, who lash out at outsiders who never did a thing to harm them.
There are those who are manipulative and controlling, who deprive others of their freedom and independence.
There are those who are deceitful and vengeful, who entrap others into situations where they can exploit them and pretend it’s justified.
There are those who are selfish and traitorous, who backstab someone who’s just helped them.
And that’s just in the first part of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Didn’t you just describe cops?
Well, I was thinking of …
spoiler
… goblins, shadow druids, illithids, hags, and duergar.
I read this like a Dr. Seuss book.
“Christians”, specifically those in the US.
People who play music through speakers while hiking.
People who are unable to feel empathy for others outside of their “in-group”. Racism, oppression, genocide, all of it stems from that same basic disorder. Unfortunately this is an all too common trait in humans.
People who lean into being douche bags/trashy because pissing off/offending other people is the only thing that makes them feel good about themselves.
They often wear shirts that say stuff like “FBI, Female Body Inspector” or “You stomp my flag, I stomp you.” With a picture of the American flag on it.
They often drive lifted trucks with fat offroad tires and push bars with a punisher skull or some kind of gun-related/blue lives matter decal stuck on the back.
