Irrational Hatred
People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

While my blood pressure is still spiking
People that refuse to watch the news as it's depressing or boring. WTF?
And people who refuse to try new foods. "Sushi, no thanks I like my fish cooked". Someone actually said that to me. How do they fucking know they have that preference if they have nothing to compare it to? Surely a preference needs a comparison by definition. I countered it by saying that they like prosciutto which is eaten raw. And anyway, sushi is the rice and it's up to you what filling you put in.

I used to loathe other people's hatred of nice food.
These days I figure it means there's more for me.

If they've tried it and don't like it
then fair enough, I don't mind. But don't automatically assume you won't like it without trying it first. The rest of my house are like that except for my daughter who will try any new dish I knock up and usually likes it. She likes sushi, blue cheeses and shellfish. I bought some mussels in their shells, stuck them in a pan with garlic butter. She asked to try one, and then polished off half of them.

Agreed
Went on a business trip to Italy this week and have discovered that I don't like risotto, abso-fucking-lutely like mussels in a tomato soup base thing, didn't touch the veal, but I've tried it before and I think it tastes shit, Octopus is OK, but not my first choice now as its a bit too chewy for my liking. And my daughter is the same with food. She'll try it, and if what was supposed to be your tea is to her liking.....well you're dialling up for a Domino's

having said that...
They could put one cheerful story on the news once and a while.
"...and after that tragic report from Barry Eversnot in Japan we cross live to Carol Rankbottom at the national 'People that look like Horses' event in Windsor".
