I'll be as original as ever and I won't write 100 facts about myself, I'd rather write 100 things I hate. "I hate" is still a very strong word, so I will still write about things that I just don't like or that I don't like to some extent.


1. Let's start with food. Since childhood *here I just hate* the red game. I was starting to get sick just from her smell.
2. I don't like fish. Especially the herring. As a child, I even had such a punishment: "I will force you to eat herring."
3. I don't like mushrooms.
4. I don't like chocolate and I don't understand people who say that chocolate makes you feel better and your mood lifts. If it doesn't work for me, then it's all fiction.
5. I don't like coffee. I don't like it very much. He's nasty.
6. I don't like food in general. The cult of food is also far from me. I only eat to survive. I don't live to eat, as sooo many people think. I don't care what I eat. Therefore, you will not be able to please me with food, even if you are a good cook. This will neither surprise nor delight me.
7. I don't like sports. None of the sports interests me.
8. I don't like games. None. Not computer, not desktop, not group.
9. I don't like annoying people.
10. But I also don't like people who don't know how to keep up a conversation and have to be "pulled out".
11. I don't like glamorous arrogant girls.
12. Can't stand smokers. This is without discussion. If you smoke, then, alas, you will never be my friend again. Unless you are far away from me, out of my range of touch.
13. I hate people who express their feelings in public. bluesteel_44 will understand me. And a couple kissing in the subway will not make me tender, but a feeling of nausea.
14. I don't like beer.
15. I hate drizzling rain or sleet.
16. I don't like Russian rock.
17. Yes, and Russian pop too.
18. I don't like music without meaning.
19. I don't like to watch TV.
20. And Russian serials, which are filled with all television.
21. I hate the METRO!!! God, how did I forget about that. It should have started with him. The subway is one of the things why I don't like this city. The subway is what spoils my mood every morning. And that's why I'm so angry all day.
22. I hate it when it's impossible to cross the road, because not a single creature car will stop and let me through.
23. In general, I really don't like our roads and their rules.
24. I don't like public transport either. * how to be? fly?*
25. I hate it when the roads are wet.
26. And dirty.
27. I can't stand perfumes and people who smell like they come from a chemical plant.
28. I don't like people who hate animals. To me, they are not human.
29. I will not write standard postulates about cruelty and other bad things that happen in life, but still I will give them all a point.
30. I can't bear insults to what I love.
31. I don't like arguments, although I often get involved in them. But they exhaust me mentally.
32. I don't like sharing my opinions with anyone. I don't need anyone's approval, if I think something is bad or good, then I think so , and you should not change my mind, even if I am *allegedly* wrong. This is just your point of view.
33. I don't like fashion.
34. And clothes as such. Convenience always comes first.
35. I don't like shoes with heels. And I don't wear it.
36. I don't like liquid and terribly shiny lipstick on someone's lips. An uncle once told me that she looked like someone had eaten scrambled eggs and not wiped their greasy lips.
37. I don't like Windows. The way "it" works, not out of principle.
38. I don't like parties.
39. Yes, and a group of people consisting of more than 5 people makes me feel uncomfortable. I love loneliness and when no one gets me.
40. I don't like restaurants. I'm afraid of them.
41. I also dislike bars, pubs and cafes.
42. I don't like clubs, nightclubs, discos.
43. I don't like to have fun in the conventional sense.
44. I am not interested in meeting friends *that I don't have*.
45. And there is nothing to talk about.
46. I don't like walking.

48. I don't like all these women's things.
49. I don't like to take a bath and haven't taken it for several years.
50. I don't like herd mentality.

52. I don't like being rude.
53. And ridiculed for no reason.
54. I don't like swearers in my presence.
55. I don't like it when someone gets something for free, when I put a lot of effort to get the same thing.
56. That's why I don't like to let you cheat.
57. And I don't like to write off myself, even though I already understood a couple of times that it's stupid and my neighbor always has more brains.
58. I don't like talking to people who don't understand what I understand.
59. And I don't like it when they don't even try to understand.
60. I don't like being judged on the basis of what I like.
61. I don't like to share everything that happens in my life, as girls-girlfriends like to do.
62. I don't like to ask anyone for help. And I resort to it only when I am no longer able to solve the problem myself. But this rarely happens, usually I find answers to my questions without resorting to the help of other people.
63. I don't like communicating with people in everyday life. I try to avoid it.
64. I don't like visiting. Yes, and I'm not invited in principle.
65. I don't like to do constant (regular) things and stick to some kind of routine. But it has to.
66. I don't like order at all. Chaos is just about me.
67. I don't like and can't cook. And I don't want to study.
68. I don't like summer.
69. I don't like the forest.
70. I don't like the sea.
71. Yes, and lakes, rivers and other water.
72. Because I don't like to swim.
73. I don't like sunbathing either.
74. I don't like userpics with children on them (with my own).
75. And yet I came back to the opinion that I don't like small children either. Their appearance does not touch me at all.
76. On userpics I also don't like inscriptions like: "Lisa and Paul 14/10/07", "Our love is forever and ever", "You're my life", "You have my heart", "We're perfect for each other", "I can't live without you", "You're the one I need", "You're my everything", "Let me be
the one who calls you baby", etc. .
77. The phrase "I love you more than life" is not our choice. Celestials don't exist.
78. I don't like naive people, no.
79. And I don't like too kind people.
80. And I don't like too correct ones.
81. Although I don't like it when laws are broken.
82. But most often I don't like positive characters in films.
83. I don't like films related to war and shooting.
84. In general, I don't like action.
85. I don't like having too much free time.
86. I don't like to just wallow and do nothing. I still lie and do nothing. But it's killing me.
87. I don't like weekends.
88. I don't like holidays either.
89. I don't like New Year. The most stupid holiday ever.
90. I don't like people. Yes. And let me be a misanthrope. And what?
91. I don't like both women and men equally.
92. I don't like compliments.
93. I don't like stupid flattery.
94. And when my real abilities are exaggerated.
95. I don't like flowers. Most of all those in bouquets.
96. I don't like racists. Although you can call me a racist to the fullest.
97. Because I don't like Russians. I do not care that among them there are both bad and good. I just don't like it.
98. I don't like software in Russian. I always use English-language programs, and the interfaces of my player and mobile are also in English.
99. I don't like everything Russian, especially Russian laws and permissiveness.
100. And no, I didn't forget and you heard right, I hate my country.

45 things you don't need

September 2, 2016 Purchases

Look around - you are surrounded by things, without a significant part of which you could easily do without. But all this money is your money spent in vain. We tell you what you can and should save on.

1. Gym membership

If out of 12 visits you have mastered only three, and the validity period of the subscription is approaching the end, the conclusion suggests itself. This is not only your problem - many of those who buy memberships or club cards do not appear in the gym anymore. Don't waste your money, there are plenty of exercises you can do at home. Absolutely free and anytime. Alone.

2. Camera

Anyone with a smartphone can easily do without a separate device for taking photos. The latest models have great cameras, plenty of file storage, and a whole host of extra features for shooting. They can take really cool pictures. So why do you need a separate camera?

3. Multivitamins

Regular intake of vitamins is the easiest way to feel like a person who cares about health. Alas, it is often just a waste of money. Before buying another package of such drugs, visit a doctor and make sure what exactly your body lacks.

4. Gorgeous wedding dress

How is it, because ideally a wedding happens only once? Exactly, which is why spending crazy money on an outfit that you will never wear again is not very practical. If you marry again, it is unlikely that you will need an old dress. Add to its cost the cost of a garter, veil and other tinsel - then any budget will burst at the seams. To avoid overspending, rent a dress or choose a versatile dress that you can continue to use as a holiday outfit.

5. Bottled water

Putting tap water into bottles and selling it is a brilliant idea. Producers make big money on this. You can continue to support their well-being or simply buy a special bottle and pour filtered water into it before leaving the house.

6. Landline phone

Not everyone will agree with this, but in order to keep within the budget, you should give up everything superfluous - including the landline phone. If every member of your family has a mobile phone, then a landline phone is simply not needed. It will be useful only to people living in areas where there are interruptions in mobile communications.

7. Workout clothes

Yoga, CrossFit and gym outfits are very useful when there is nothing to fill the space on the top shelves in the closet. For the most part, this is just a scam for the money of fashionistas. Work out in ordinary T-shirts and shorts, you don’t have to go to the podium in them.

8. Precooked products

They often have a lower nutritional value and shelf life, and a higher cost and amount of unnecessary packaging. Semi-finished products and ready-to-eat products should be excluded from the shopping list in the first place. Purchase vegetables, fruits, and other foods with minimal pre-processing.

9. Toys

Children are accustomed to getting toys as gifts for birthdays and any holidays in general, but you should not buy them in large quantities at once. Very soon (weeks, if not days) the child will get bored and want something new. Try renting toys from specialized shops or trading them with other families for a while.

10. USB flash drive

What is a flash drive for? To store or transfer data. Is it possible to do it in a different way and not waste money in vain? Of course. Send files by email, store them in the cloud - there are plenty of options, and using a flash drive today is even somehow ashamed.

11. Everything for detox

Let me tell you a secret: the body does not need help getting rid of excess. He copes with this perfectly, because the liver and kidneys are given to us for a reason. Advertisements for juices and herbal detox blends, colon cleanses, and the like are a brazen attempt to sell people what they don't need. The very idea of ​​a detox is just a marketing gimmick with no medical explanation.

12. Bread maker

Everyone loves fresh bread, especially homemade bread, so buying a bread maker seems like a good idea. But don't let yourself be fooled - excellent bread can be baked in a conventional oven. Moreover, many people prefer bread from the oven - they say it is softer and softer.

13. Fabric softener

Another thing you can do without. The conditioner will replace regular baking soda. It is much cheaper, and the linen softens no worse.

14. GPS navigator

Unless you're roaming the wastelands outside of cell coverage, a separate navigation device is clearly not an essential. Any smartphone with a GPS-module will cope with determining the location just as well.

15. Books

We buy an interesting book, read it once, and that's it. Then she gathers dust in the closet, goes to the shelf for bookcrossing, or even ends her life in the trash. It is wiser to use the services of libraries or purchase books in electronic format.

16. Formal wear

It is unlikely that you need a tuxedo or evening dress every day. For almost the whole year, these things will hang in the closet, reminding you of the amount that you had to pay for them. If you can rent formal and weekend clothes - take it.

17. Magazines

Racks with them are located right next to the cash desks for a reason - impulsive purchases do their job. Just imagine how much money you spend on what you read at best a couple of times. If you really buy some kind of magazine on an ongoing basis, it is better to issue an annual subscription to it. In terms of one room, the cost will be less.

18. Lottery tickets

Everyone is well aware that the lottery is most often a waste of money, but the thought “What if!” does not give rest. The truth is that there is no such thing as "suddenly". Statistically, you are much more likely to face an angry shark, die from a candy bar machine, or become president than you are to hit the jackpot. The second name for lotteries is the "stupidity tax", and this is clearly not without reason.

19. CD and DVD

Yes, they are still being bought. Why is not entirely clear. There are many places on the web where you can find both movies and music in good quality. Subscribe to the corresponding service and save a good amount.

20. Baby shoes

Babies don't need shoes. At least until they started walking. Earlier attempts to shoe them end in failure in the truest sense of the word. All these tiny shoes and boots look very cute, but they are of no use.

21. Sandwich Maker

Let's call everything by its proper name: a kitchen appliance that performs only one highly specialized task is useless garbage. Don't waste your money on junk that will take up space in the kitchen.

22. Insurance of funds on bank cards

The possibility of fraudsters stealing money from your account looks quite frightening, so the desire to additionally protect yourself is quite understandable. Still, think before you pay a decent amount for insurance. Banks are already vigilant about security. You can get all the information about the movement of funds at any time, and if necessary, quickly block the card so that the scammers are left with nothing.

23. Pizza accessories

Pizza needs ingredients, oven, baking sheet and knife. All. Instead of a regular knife, you can buy a roller knife, but you should not spend money on baking dishes, special scissors with a spatula, a pizza oven and other items of dubious necessity.

24. Cute things for the bath

When we want to cheer ourselves up or give a gift that will definitely come in handy for the addressee, the hand itself reaches for a shower gel, cream or body spray. So-so idea, because these things tend to accumulate at an insane pace and litter all the free space in the bathroom. As a result, the shelf life of such products often ends before we have time to use them.

25. Specialty Kitchen Tools

These can evoke reactions ranging from “Wow, what a useful thing” to “Ummm, seriously?”. All in all, you don't really need all those onion and garlic chopping and slicing tools for bananas, peaches, and avocados. With vegetables and fruits, the good old knife and fork will do just fine.

26. In-app purchases

When you download a seemingly free app, and then it turns out that you still need to pay to get access to some features, it infuriates. In the case of games, the obvious uselessness of such purchases is also annoying - when you get bored with the game, what will you do with the acquired weapons and clothes for the character? Do not fall for the bait of developers - most paid applications and games have free counterparts.

27. Disposable drinking straws

It seems like a cheap thing, but if you use such plastic straws regularly, it can cost a pretty penny. In addition, it is worth being more humane to the environment and not multiplying the amount of garbage unnecessarily. It is better to buy a reusable stainless steel straw for each family member, in the end it will be much more profitable.

28. Warmer for wet wipes

Manufacturers simply love to cash in on young parents, slipping them seemingly necessary things, without which in practice you can safely do without. The napkin warmer is a prime example of such junk. Napkins can be warmed in your hands, for this you do not need to spend a penny.

29. Extended Warranty

In most cases, this service remains unclaimed. Warranty obligations imply free repair or replacement of the goods in case of breakage, but things break even after the extended warranty expires. In addition, repairs are often cheaper than the purchase of similar services.

30. Toasters with superpowers

Today, toasters can toast bread, make scrambled eggs, hot dogs, and even imprint animals, soccer balls, butterflies, and Darth Vader's helmet on a piece of bread. A joke, as you know, seems funny only the first time. These toasters are unlikely to please you for a long time.

31. Cable TV

It's time to cut the wires. If you have the Internet, television is clearly not a necessity. In order not to yearn without your favorite series, subscribe to one of the many video services.

32.

Designer breeds of cats and dogs

Do you want to get a pet of an unusual breed - labradoodle or toyger? Prepare to throw money away. The irresponsible approach to breeding animals, which many breeders sin, leads to the fact that dogs and cats are born with serious health problems. Some breeds are declared as safe for allergy sufferers, but no one can give a 100% guarantee, so it makes no sense to overpay for it. Millions of animals are waiting for their owners in shelters. Maybe you should shelter one of them, and not unfasten a round sum for a pedigree?

33. Musical instruments

Children and some adults quickly get excited about the idea of ​​learning to play a musical instrument, but then quickly forget about it. The desire to master the guitar, violin, or other expensive instrument melts away as you realize the need for regular practice and boring practice. Rent a tool and save your wallet from unnecessary expenses.

34. Vitaminized drinks

Water fortified with vitamins, minerals, flavors and sweeteners is not the best choice if you really care about your health. The benefits of such drinks are doubtful, because synthetic vitamins are not always able to replace those that we get from food. Plus, these liquids contain a large amount of sugar. Make better tasty water yourself, it will turn out no worse.

35. Invitation cards

When it comes to a large-scale event (for example, a wedding), sending out invitations to guests is quite an expensive undertaking. Although the guardians of etiquette insist on the need to comply with this formality, many will not agree with them. Send invitations by e-mail or create a group on the social network used by your guests, dedicated to the upcoming event. So that everyone can adjust their plans, this should be done in advance - about 6-8 weeks before the celebration.

36. High-octane gasoline

If your car's engine is not designed specifically for this kind of fuel, then why pay more? Use the gasoline recommended by the manufacturer, so everything will definitely be in order with the car.

37. Home popcorn maker

If you are not a commercial popcorn maker, you don't need a popcorn maker. Heat up a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan, pour the grains there, cover with a lid and wait. It will be noisy but tasty. The gif below demonstrates another interesting way to make popcorn.

38. Trinkets

Various souvenirs, memorabilia - these are all useless dust collectors. Proponents of minimalism believe that in the process of ridding the interior of unnecessary details, such things are the first candidates for departure. So do not buy them either for yourself or as a gift.

39. Diaper bin

It seems to top the list of the most unnecessary baby items. The drive is not the cheapest thing, but there is no point in acquiring it. Putting a used diaper in a bag and throwing it away is a task that does not require much mental and physical effort.

40. Fryer

A trendy device that you are still struggling with. The deep fryer is difficult to wash, it smells of burnt oil - in a word, you do not need to spend money or space in the kitchen on this thing. For frying and deep-frying, a cast-iron skillet and refined oil will suffice.

41. Newspapers

Subscribing to them can be quite expensive, and in the digital age it is a complete waste of money. To stay up to date with the news, you have the Internet and television. In extreme cases, you can subscribe to the electronic version of the publication, so it will definitely be cheaper.

42. Baby food maker

Are you sure that you need a separate unit (by the way, quite expensive) to sterilize bottles and turn fruit into puree? Our parents somehow coped without such equipment, and we can too. If you have a blender, a potato masher, or at least a fork, the process of turning vegetables and fruits into puree does not require other special tools. Bottles can be sterilized with steam.

43. Cookbooks

Recipe collections are a thing of the past.
