Things I Hated 2004

1. Jessica Simpson. Her Christmas album is the worst recording I have ever heard.
2. The Anna Nicole Trimspa commercial where she pretends to be a cat. It is insulting to cats.
3. The Bachelor is so over. I hate all dating reality shows.
4. Judith Regan. She's boring and has too much botox.
5. Old TV shows turned into bad major motion pictures.
6. Following the Weight Watchers points. I'm starting to get sick of this.
7. student loans
8. Separating my laundry
9. running out of toilet paper
10. ex-wives and ex-girlfriends of current boyfriends
11. drunken celebrity speeches at award shows
12. annoying coworkers who ask stupid questions and schedule unnecessary meetings
13. bad customer service at expensive stores
14. when my hair is not the way I want it to be

21. when my mother hangs up on me to talk to my sister

I would submit that items below are hardly worth complaining about, on the grounds that each can be easily avoided, unlike cancer scares and crappy cell phone contracts.

1. Jessica Simpson. Her Christmas album is the worst recording I have ever heard.
2. The Anna Nicole Trimspa commercial where she pretends to be a cat. It is insulting to cats.
3. The Bachelor is so over. I hate all dating reality shows.
4. Judith Regan. She's boring and has too much botox.
5. Old TV shows turned into bad major motion pictures.
11. drunken celebrity speeches at award shows
22. Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Kelly Ripa
31. Hillary Swank--I'd wish she'd just give up
33. Billy Bush on Extra
40. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline

I know that this is your Hate List, and entirely your opinion, and therefore not really right or wrong. But after just seeing Kevin Federline at Barney's I have to say that he is so fucking hot. Trashy, but hot. Fuckable. So I can't hate him for you. But Britney I can.

What about Duane Reade? You can't live in NYC and not hate Duane Reade (Rite Aid too).

Don't forget Soon Yi. God I can't stand her - totally dragging Woody down. Also, what was up with Koch - his radio show blows. Pissed at Howard too- now that Stern is going satellite, were all gonna have to fork out some somlians. Beheadings in Iraq are sick-totall (literally hateful). Gifford Miller blows his own hown too much- nixed him on your hit parade. Manny Rameriz? Barry Bonds? WTF! We thought Steinbrenner had soul, but no! Look to see Dallas repeat- I hate Parcells, but you must hate with respect.

Love the list, but don't you hate mayo, ketchup, cheese, relish, and student loans every year? That's a lot of repetative hate for one person to have. I fear for you sometimes.

Your list is impressive and I have some similar hatreds. I was well into my twenties before I bought my first roll of toilet paper. Generally, were ver I have lived, somehow or for somereason, toilet paper was there - existing, as if, in a state of nature.

Anyway, after I got a studio and ran out of stuff my mom had bought me and stuff I had stolen from restaurant bathrooms, I broke down and bought some toilet paper. My girlfriend (since now retired) was very upset that I had none and was shocked that I did not know the cost. After a bad brake up, I reacted against her protests by taking pride in my feral husbandry, and soon resumed my practice of non purchase of similar goods. Especially, in NY, there are so many ways to get free toilet paper that it seems like a monster expense to buy some- and it's not like buying a stereo or new pair of shoes- when you buy toilet paper (especially when you are not used to it) it seems like all you do is spend money for something that, in a real sense, only has value when you have to throw it away.

Also, regarding allegies- I spent a great deal of time in Sag Harbor this summer. Voila! No allegies. Lucky for me, my then girlfriend, had her parents place. Summer's coming up, and so are my allergies - looks like I need a new girlfriend!

it started as a joke but my brother and i have a christmas tradition to see who can buy the worst CD for each other...he started it with some obscure (aren't they all) German Thrash metal band, I won one year with WWF themes, he won another with a cover band covering boy band cover songs etc etc...anyhoo, even I couldn't submit Jessica Simpson this year on the grounds that it's too easy.
Love your list

ps - any suggestions for worse CD for next year (I'm going in with 'White Trash Christmas songs' this year
