People Admit What They Hate With a Passion

I don’t like using the word “hate”, but for the purposes of this article, it’s necessary.

Even if we don’t want to admit it, we all have things in our lives that we do hate…or at least really dislike with a passion.

Here are responses from AskReddit users about what they HATE.

1. I’m with you…

“People who lack self awareness.”

2. So gross.

“Littering – especially motorists.”

3. Just deal with it.

“People that don’t take “no” for an answer.”

4. That’s pretty annoying.

“People who sit on stairways.”

5. Also not cool.

“People who immediately stop after getting off an escalator.”

6. Just part of the deal.

“Ads within videos.”

7. Well, they’re gone now.

“Those goddamn Michael Bloomberg ads ?.”

8. A sad state of affairs.

“Watery, overcooked, tasteless vegetables. They are sad.”

9. Drives me up the wall.

“Glass on the beach.”

10. No doubt about it.

“Mosquitoes, pure evil concentrated into a tiny highly manuvrable package.”

11. It’s out of control.

“Celebrity worship.”

12. A terrible thing.

“Parents who neglect, abuse, harm, or just don’t love their children.”

13. This is at the top of my list.

“Willfully ignorant people.”

14. No, you’re just a dick.

“The “It’s just a joke” defense when someone is an asshole.”

15. You hear this one a lot.

“People who say “it’s just my opinion” as a defense for being rude.”

16. Price gouging.

“Airline baggage policies.”

17. Hard to decipher these days.

“Misinformation.”

18. A little too much to handle.

“The parents to one of my students.”

19. Take it somewhere else.

“People that eat with their mouths open by choice.”

20. THIS RIGHT HERE.

“People who fucking text and drive.”

21. Out of control.

“Robocalls.”

22. People say this?

“People who say you aren’t a real mom cause you had a C-section.”

23. Evil people.

“Westboro Baptist Church.”

24. Amen to this!

“So-called ‘influencers’.”

There are definitely some interesting perspectives in those answers, don’t you agree?

Okay, now we want to hear from you. In the comments, tell us about the things that you really and truly hate.

Let’s see what’s bothering you!

Window Washers Share the Strange Things They’ve Seen While Working

I think that working as a window washer has to be one of the more interesting (and dangerous) jobs a person can have.

Dangerous because sometimes you’re suspended way above the street and that wind tends to make them a little iffy. Interesting because you get paid to be a Peeping Tom and you get to observe all kinds of weird things that people do.

AskReddit users shared their crazy stories.

1. A love story…

“Just a regular window cleaner here, not high rise. I was once going up my ladders to clean a bedroom window on the second floor at around 8am.

As i got to the top of the ladder i was confronted with a couple going for it at an angle which indicated that he was, shall we say, taking the road less travelled.”

2. This is creepy.

“I washed windows for a cemetery during college and this still baffles me and I am a firm athiest but it was Sunday and the entire building was closed and locked, I was just washing the outside, there wasn’t a single car in the entire parking lot and every door was locked, all of the sudden I see a priest walk past a doorway and I thought hmm that’s strange maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me

about 5 minutes later I see him again for longer and I check all the doors and parking lots again and nothing/no one. It was one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen. I also heard children laughing there was well, again on a day they were closed. I assume there was some logical explanation but it still gives me chills.”

3. Gross…and weird…

“I was once punished by the head RA of my dorm for blatantly getting fucked up in the mini quad in front of my dorm. She told me to clean the entrance windows and pick up the trash along a sidewalk that was parallel to the first floor windows. I saw one of my friends hooking up with a girl from another college through the window…it was so…fucking awkward.

They were like fully extending their tongues out of their mouth and just licking each other’s tongues, without their lips touching. Oh, and his monitor had some tentacle porn on.”

4. Learned a lesson.

“Had a strange house with two hot Hungarian girls. Anyway we did our thing cleaning the exterior windows. Half way through i climb up to a bathroom window and as soon as I look at the glass I see a Hungarian mans ass in a bathroom window. We make eye contact immediately (him staring at the mirror.)

I dip back down the ladder like lightening and move on. About 5 minutes later one of the women comes out and awkwardly says “that’ll be enough thank you” (only about half the house done makes no sense). I wholeheartedly agree, take the check and GTFO. Learned to always knock loudly when approaching bathroom windows from the outside.”

5. Very odd…

“Our company had all the libraries in a small county. At one of them I’m inside on a ladder when I see a guy with a shaved head. He had missed a small square of hair on the back. He’s wearing a yellow floral print dress. As he’s walking up the stairs to the entrance he steps up a step and then touches his toes to the step he just came from.

Does this all the way up until he’s on the top, touches his toes to the previous step and trips falling flat on his face. The librarian was shushing me for laughing. Nearly fell off the ladder.

That and the 85yo woman sitting naked in her bathroom.

Saw 2 fatties humping on some sleeping bags in the living room once. Devised it was lunch break time pretty quick.”

6. Oh my…

“One of my friends cleans windows part time while studying. He says it’s usual to see nudity and sex once in a while but he can’t forget one house where he refuses to go now.

He was 23 at that time a few years ago and got to a HUGE mansion along with coworkers. The (very obese) owner lived with his (also very obese) wife and the 2 of them had like a whole team of maids. When he arrived this one maid came out to welcome them and tell them they could happen to see the couple having sex but if they do they should just keep on working on the windows as the couple want the work done quickly.

This was awkward but ok. Now unfortunately my friend being the new guy was put to work on the couple’s bedroom’s side of the house. As he completes other windows he gets to the couple’s bedroom window. Now imagine this 190kg guy and even heavier wife (trying to) have sex. What was weird though was that 3 maids were standing besides the bed “helping” them. I.e helping the fat guy go in and out.

You could see the terror in the maids’ eyes of what they had chosen to do in their life once they realized my friend was seeing everything.

Pretty sure that fucked him up real bad.”

7. This is very weird.

“On my first job as a window washer I went to this house and started washing windows and saw my Ex-girlfriend having sex with her new boyfriend.

And then she came outside and started yelling at me that “this is insane” and “window washers don’t come to people’s houses at 3 in the morning” and “I’m pretty sure they carry more than just Great Value Window Cleaner and a roll of paper towels.””

8. Clearly an exhibitionist.

“Had one old lady (maybe 50-60-ish) in a dressing gown sat on her chair while on the phone looking directly at me. Nothing new there we get watched a lot but this old lady opened up her dressing gown, spread one of her legs on the arm of the chair and starts frigging off right in front of me.

While still chatting away on the phone too with a huge smile on her face. I was thinking maybe she was on a sex line or something and me being there was just a little extra thrill. She had a wicked grin on her face and was rubbing that p*ssy fast i remember that.”

9. This might take the cake.

“I used to work as a window washer in Seattle. We would do a big office building about once a month. One window we passed was an active porn scene. Video camera and lighting and everything. The thing was, everyone was dressed as clowns, and the guy running the projector looked exactly like Joe Pesci.

Not similar to Joe Pesci. Exactly like Joe Pesci. He started screaming at us to get the fuck away from their set, while waving a gun around. Then he shot one of the clowns in the face. We scurried a few floors away. I was right there with Joe. I don’t like clowns either.”

10. The wrong door.

“When I was in college I worked at a window washing company that also did cleaning door and window frames. We were at a large mansion and one of my colleagues needed to go inside. He came back out and asked me to come in and help him. There was a reason he didn’t want to go alone.

Apparently he opened the wrong door (to the basement) and there was this altar with some weird stuff and a small skull on it (thought it was from a monkey or something). My boss later told me the house belonged to masons and that they would gather and have meetings there, although I don’t know if masons have altars and the likes. Washing the mansion got a bit weird after our find.”

11. This would scare me.

“When I was a teenager I worked for a small town window washing company. It was mostly residential work at older peoples houses and apartments who couldn’t keep up with their house work.

This one house was owned by an elderly single woman who kept all sorts of mannequins around. Some were in weird places like in bedrooms silohetted by windows or behind large house plants.

I think she was just lonely… Or crazy.”

12. Bring out the gimp.

“My buddy was doing scaffolding repair after a particularly windy day on the gold coast and told us he saw a dude rocking the upper half of a leather body suit, like the gimp from Pulp Fiction, and nothing on his lower half.

He wasn’t seen and scurried on down…”

13. Enjoying himself.

“I once saw a grown man jumping on his bed in his tighty whities. I wasn’t even shocked.

He just looked like he was having so much fun.”

14. The day to day…

“I do highrise window cleaning in Vancouver. Nothing exciting, mostly do residential buildings. Most people are at work. Normally its just cats or old asian women saying you didnt clean their window well enough. If you do come across somebody naked you just tend to ignore it and clean the window and move on. Each section takes less than a minute and most of the time you can only see your own reflection. (until you clean the window)

I have a coworker who did window cleaning in Australia for a long time and she had seen some wild stuff. More partying and drinking and drugs over there in the daytime.”

It actually sounds like a pretty fun job to me!

What do you think? Would you want to wash windows for work? Have you washed windows for work before?

A United Nations Report States That Nearly 90% of All People Are Biased Against Women

This is pretty shocking. Here’s what’s even more shocking…. since women account for right around 50% of the population, this means a good portion of women are biased against their own sex.

Messed up, right?

While there are women in the highest leadership roles around the world, there are other places where people have proven again and again that they don’t think women are capable of holding the same power positions as men. Not only that, but the continued practice of valuing women less, be it in the workplace or at home, continues to be as pervasive as it is frustrating.

If you’re wondering why these issues are still mountains women have to climb in the year 2020, well, look no further than this recent report from the United Nations.

After gathering data from 75 countries that account for 80% of the world’s population, the Gender Social Norms Index has concluded that 91% of men and 86% of women worldwide hole at least one clear bias against the idea that men and women are equal.

Up to half of those surveyed believe that men make better political leaders, and over 40% still think men make better business executives. Close to 50% believe men have more right to jobs than women, especially when times are hard.

Also? 28% of people think that, in the right circumstances, it’s fine for a man to beat his wife.

Really?????? WTF?!?!

Even though girls and women have fought hard for rights and improved lives around the globe, this report highlights the truth: there’s still a long way to go as far as addressing bias in pretty much every aspect of life, from education and work to politics and healthcare.

We’re still nowhere close to equality, fact that not even women in the “civilized” USA can ignore.

Pedro Conceicao, head of the U.N. Development Programme’s Human Development Report Office, issued a statement on the matter:

“We have come a long way in recent decades to ensure that women have the same access to life’s basic needs as men. We have reached parity in primary school enrollment and reduced maternal mortality by 45 percent since the year 1990. But gender gaps are still all too obvious in other areas, particularly those that challenge power relations and are most influential in actually achieving true equality. Today, the fight about gender equality in a story of bias and prejudices.”

These numbers are averages, of course, and some countries – most notably Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, and Belgium all scored significantly better than others on the Index.

Men in Chile, Australia, the US, and the Netherlands have made the most progress over the past 15 years while a “backlash” occurred in countries like Sweden, Germany, India, and Mexico that resulted in a growing increase in bias against women.”

The report concludes that gender equality in the workplace is at least two centuries away. Which is…a long time.

Says Raquel Lagunas, Gender Team Acting Director at the UNDP,

“We must act now to break through the barrier of bias and prejudices if we want to see progress at the speed and scale needed to achieve gender equality and the vision laid out in the Beijing Declaration over two decades ago and the Sustainable Development Goals.”

I know we can do it, ladies. We can fight like hell, like the women who came before us, so many our granddaughters won’t have to.

Because honestly, I’m not sure this poor, tired old earth will be around to witness anything in 200 years.

The Best Ways to Sanitize Your Phone’s Surface

Now that coronavirus is sweeping the globe, killing vulnerable people in numbers that are looking more and more concerning, people are realizing (among other things) how well we don’t regularly clean our stuff.

You know, stuff like that thing we put right next to our face about 100 times a day.

Now that you are thinking about how dirty the items in your hands might be, you’re probably also wondering what the best ways might be to go about making sure they’re not holding onto viruses and other ickiness. Look no further! Below are the best ways to make sure your phone is as clean as your hands (and face!).

You have two options when it comes to the kind of touchscreen phones most of us carry: liquid, like sprays and wipes, and UV light.

An NIH study found that both methods are effective at reducing aerobic bacterial colony count, but UV light is slightly more so.

The UV light rays that are used in cleaning and sanitizing are UV-C rays, short-wavelength, ultraviolet light that breaks apart germ DNA and leaving it unable to reproduce. UV-C light kills germs, and can even neutralize superbugs that are resistant to antibiotic treatment.

Liquid methods have their upsides, like being more portable and not needing to be charged, but you will need to research your particular device to make sure wipes aren’t going to damage your screen’s protective film.

The UV light device that performed best in the study is called the Flashbox Mini, “an easily transportable, small chamber designed for use in any healthcare, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, laboratory, or research setting.”

Read: it’s not cheap.

There are other devices that aren’t quite as fancy and effective, but that are aimed at consumers. Check out the PhoneSoap and the Verilux Cleanwave Portable Sanitizing Wand, and others like them.

Even if the hullabaloo over this latest virus ends up dying down and out (fingers crossed!), it would be nice to know you’re not sliding your fingers over a petri dish a hundred times a day, wouldn’t it?

I, for one, am totally in. How about you?

People Reveal How They Fall Asleep as Soon as Their Head Hits the Pillow

As anyone who’s had insomnia knows, it seems to get harder to fall asleep the harder you try. And the longer this goes on, the more that the very concept of “falling asleep” seems like a myth. Meanwhile, some people knock out a few seconds after lying down.

Though it may seem effortless for these folks, a Reddit user asked people who fall asleep quickly to reveal their methods, and their answers are surprisingly helpful.

1. Physical exertion during the day.

“Since I’m the high energy person in the relationship, I am moving and doing things all the time – get home from work, cooking, have dinner, work out, do some laundry, read before bed.

I’m pretty physically tired/drained by the time I hit the pillow. My husband runs at what seems to be a consistently lower energy level – like low enough that he needs a lot of downtime (usually in front of screens) to recharge, but high enough that he doesn’t sleep well.”

2. Stop thinking so much.

“Not thinking is the key. I had to train myself to completely clear my mind. Start by cutting inner monologues; imagine you were born deaf and think primarily in images. Then cut those and just focus on what you feel. The last step is to tune out those sensations. In the beginning, you will only be able to sustain it for a couple seconds, but you’ll be able to go longer with time. Eventually, it’ll be second nature.

In the beginning, my primary goal was to remove the stress of my life for a moment through meditation, but it ended up being a useful way to fall asleep. Also, I don’t remember the last time I’ve woken up in the middle of the night. The only downside is that I sleep like the dead and never dream. I just close my eyes as if to blink and when I open them back up, it’s morning (and my wife is pissed that I missed my alarm).”

3. Be sleep-deprived.

“I’m so exhausted all the time. If I have no responsibilities to wake up for I’ll easily sleep 15-20 hours.

I’ll fall asleep at my desk, on the bus, on the toilet… as a kid I’d come home from school and just make it through the front door before falling asleep on the floor fully clothed with my backpack still on. I paid for a sight-seeing bus tour along the river Nile in Egypt and slept through most of it because I always sleep on car rides. I read books 3 pages at a time with lots of accidental naps in between.”

4. Practice.

“For me it was a learned skill, thank you US Army.

They pushed me to work from reveille to taps, and only allowed for 5-6 hours of sleep, and I need 7-8. I wore an alarm watch. Any break during the day… “oh I have 25 minutes?” Set alarm watch, prop against a tree or lay down anywhere I could, BAM asleep.

My wife is still amazed at how I do it.”

5. Meditation techniques.

“I use a meditation method I learned in a yoga class.

Lay flat on your back, take deep breaths through your nose. As you exhale mentally relax each muscle group starting with your face and working down to your toes. Try to imagine exhaling through your muscles and out through your toes. Imagine your body slowly melting into your bed. This usually takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Next imagine as vividly as possible a river. It helps if you use one from memory. I personally use a combination of The River Wild movie and memories from a family trip to the Green River. Imagine yourself walking out to the middle of the river. Let yourself get lost in the flow around you. Try to imagine any stray thoughts as floating to you on the river. As you think of things, set them in the water and watch them float away.

This process without fail gets me to sleep within 10 minutes, if I am having trouble sleeping. But like Ralph Wiggum, sleep is where I am a viking.

Sorry for my abysmal Simpsons knowledge. I think I really just wanted Ralph to be an amazing genius who kills people in space and commits xenocide.”

6. Use your imagination.

“Best trick I’ve found when I don’t fall asleep easy is to put myself in a movie.

Like imagine yourself walking through the gates of Hogwarts. What happens next? All up to you and just let your imagination flow. Eventually you’ll fall asleep without realizing it.”

7. Focus on your eyelids.

“I have to kinda gaze into the back of my eyelids without thinking…. like you know when you rub your eyes and all the different shapes and images and shit fly around? I just watch them with absolutely no thought and I’m out within 2-3 minutes.”

8. Change the temperature.

“KEEP! YOUR! ROOM! COLD!!!!

This one actually worked for me a bit more quickly because I had/have issues with nightmares (to the point where my husband literally can calm me down in his sleep), and I saw a major correlation between that and the heat of my room. I switched from a duvet that had me waking up drenched in sweat to a weighted blanket with a bamboo cover that manages to not trap my body heat. Apparently hot showers before bed and wearing warm socks can also help you cool down as your body tries to self-regulate (or something?)”

9. Only use the bed for sleep.

“Keep the bed, and as much as possible the bedroom, for two things – shagging and sleeping. Do NOTHING else in that damn bed!

Don’t look at devices, don’t read (talk about confusing your body!), don’t sit around talking to your SO (either shag them, or snuggle up and go to sleep with them). Half an hour before going to bed, drop the lights in the rest of the house, use lamps only if you can.”

10. Lay completely still.

“I’m a firefighter and my one partner says what he likes least about me is my ability to fall asleep so fast after returning from a call.

It helps to be physically tired. Much easier to fall asleep when your body has been engaged in physical activity during the day.

I try to lay perfectly still, and not allow myself to scratch my nose if it itches, for example. I just ignore the itch and next thing I know, it’s time to get up.

I just discovered that there are people with an inner monologue and this voice in their head allows them to have silent discussions and worry about decisions and whatnot. I don’t have this. I don’t have any voices talking to me.

My preference is also to listen to a documentary on YouTube or Netflix. I set my timer On my phone to stop playing after 20 mins and rarely stay awake till the end. I am very well versed on the first 10 minutes of wwii!

11. Watch something boring.

“I must have seen every single episode of Friends, Himym and BigBang a million times. It’s not totally silent but my mind doesn’t need to engage to follow a story. 5 minutes later I am drooling like a baby. My husband envy’s me so much. It’s gotten better for him, but so often he ends up watching something different because it gets boring. He doesn’t seem to understand that this is exactly the point of this exercise.”

12. Become a parent.

“Dad of three. I sleep when I can because you never know when you’ll get a full 8 hours, or a fractured 2.5 hours. About 9pm my body just takes any opportunity it can to sleep, even if I’m on the couch and all the lights are on like last night.

It gets easier as they get older. My 7.5 year old sleeps like a rock unless he’s really sick.”

Some pretty good strategies in the mix, I think!

Michelangelo Hid in a Secret Room and It Will Soon Open to the Public

Michelangelo painted some of the most spectacular works of art in the world. He was also a sculpter, inventor, architect, chef, engineer and pretty much pursued any and all things that caught his interest.

But for a period of time, he had to hide from an angry Medici family in a secret room in Florence.

Photo Credit: Wikimedia

It was summer, 1530, when Michelangelo had to make himself scarce for a few months. For three months, he hid in a chamber under the Medici Chapels in the Basilica of San Lorenzo. He was 55 years old and was living in fear for his life because he supported the revolt that overthrew his patrons, the Medici family.

The room had a trapdoor, no windows and measured only two by seven meters. Yet, even in this stuffy place, Michelangelo was at work sketching on the walls with charcoal and chalk, possibly leaving behind a self-portrait. He also worked on studies for his ongoing projects that included a revision to David and Sistene Chapel scenes.

Eventually, the Medici family pardoned him. He resurfaced and was permitted to continue with their monuments. He even worked in the area right above the room in which he’d concealed himself.

Here’s another look at the room…

In 1975, the chamber’s walls were stripped and it was only then that this part of Michelangelo’s life was discovered. Since then, art historians and their guests were able to get special permission to view the space and see the sketches. Plans, however, are in the works to open the former cell to the public. Hopefully, the first visitors can see how he spent his time down in his hiding spot later this year.

Michelangelo is such a huge figure and influence from the Renaissance. His time on the Earth ended four centuries ago and we are still finding out new things about his life and immense creativity.

A Kid’s Book About “The Office” Will be Here Soon

It’s finally here. And now our children can share in the delight that was The Office.

Written by Robb Pearlman and illustrated by Melanie Demmer, The Office: A Day at Dunder Mifflin Elementary follows a young Michael Scott as he aims to become the “World’s Best Line Leader.”

Ms. (Jan) Levinson is a teacher at the school, and she and her students spend the day in a meeting to plan how to line up. All our Dunder Mifflin favorites are here to show us the value of teamwork and that sometimes we all need a little help.

Off the air since 2017, the hit show from the 1990s has been available for streaming from Netflix, allowing more viewers to fall in love with the zany characters pushing paper at Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton office.

For the little ones who aren’t quite ready to see episodes from The Office, Little, Brown Young Readers and NBC Universal came together to make a kid-friendly story with young iterations of the beloved characters.

The book is meant for readers from ages 4 to 11, but any fan of The Office will love the little Michael, Dwight, Pam, Jim, Angela, Kelly, Kevin, Ryan, Stanley, Phyllis, Oscar, Creed and Toby. There are also tons of references to the original show throughout the book, all of which will make adults crack up as they read along with their child.

Look for The Office: A Day at Dunder Mifflin Elementary to come out later this year. It’s also available for pre-order.

This is one that’s good for the whole family.

This Man Asked If It’s Wrong to Refuse to Have a Baby Until His Wife Seeks Help for Her Obsessive Cleaning

Having a child is a HUGE commitment and responsibility and if you’re not with the right persona and having that child for the right reasons, it’s probably not the best idea.

Which brings us to an interesting question that a man posed on Reddit. The man asked folks on the online forum is he is wrong for refusing to have a baby with his wife until she gets treatment for her obsessive cleaning, which she says helps her relieve her anxiety.

From what the husband says, it seems like a pretty big problem between the two of them.

Here is the “Am I the Asshole?” article from Reddit.

AITA for telling my wife we shouldn’t have a baby until she sees a dr about her anxiety and stops cleaning so much? from AmItheAsshole

This person definitely thought he was NOT an asshole. People need to be around at least some germs…

Photo Credit: Reddit

This Redditor sounded off about how the whole situation just seems unhealthy for a potential baby, and that his wife is showing signs of OCD.

This woman offered up her opinions about how she thinks the man’s wife needs to get her anxiety under control before she thinks about having a baby.

And this person brought up a very good point about how babies are…well…dirty. What would this woman do when it came time to change a diaper?

What do you think about this situation? Is the husband overreacting or is he right to be very concerned about his wife’s behavior?

A Dad Wrote a Letter of Appreciation to His Wife for Birthing Their Son

If you don’t have kids, it’s hard to describe what the absolute and total love feels like for a child. And also for the mother who brought your child into the world.

And though it’s hard to put into words, this father did a good job of describing just how much love and respect he has for his wife, the mother of his child.

Ireland and parents

Here is the article by a man named William in appreciation of his wife:

“For 9 months, your mother was all you knew.

Before I held you in my arms, your mother held you and never let you go.

Before I sacrificed time for you, your mother gladly sacrificed her body.

Before I consoled you when you were upset, your mother consoled you with just the beat of her heart.

Mother and daughter

Before I comforted you when you were restless, your mother comforted you with just the sound of her voice.

Before I could do anything for you, your mother gave everything for you.

Your mother is the reason I hold you today.

Crazy Uncle Steve

Before you were even a twinkle in my eye…”

You can read the rest of the article HERE.
