I've noticed that many people in this site introduces themselves with list of their "likes", but it is my belief that person's "negatives" such as their "dislikes" also illustrates who they are as a person. So, here is my list of dislikes:
1. Daylight savings time.
2. When somone answers "everything" to questions regarding individual preferences such as music, cuisine, and films. Everything answers nothing.
3. Fake smiles. You know the type of smile when a person's lips mimick actual smile and choregraphed laugh comes out of the mouth, but the person's eyes aren't smiling.
4. When a random person comes up to me to tell me that smoking is unhealthy as if he or she is imparting some profound wisdom that I'v yet to grasp upon.
5. Spammers.
6. Any prolonged talk about sports. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy partaking in sports, and being a "fan" is okay but "fanatic" is what I dislike.
7. Winter is my least favorite time of the year.
8. Mainstream rap that raves about virtues of rampant materialism, sexism, and violence. I'm not sure how being "real" has anything to do with advocating this type of purely hedonistic life style. This criticism also applies to other genres.
