I hate cheaters, short-sheeters, and posters who hate teachers

[FireDancer]

This is a great prank...when you are 12.

From Urban Dictionary:

Short sheeting is a prank use when you rig a person's bed, here's how. First they have to have more than one blanket or sheet (one on the top and one on the bottom). Take the one on the bottom and pull out the part of the sheet out of under the bottom part of the mattress and tuck the top part of the sheet under the top part of the mattress. Then fold the bottom half of the sheet to look like it's still the way it was before. When they get in the bed they think their legs will stretch to the end of the bed like normal but little do they know the bed has been short sheeted and they will not be able to get their legs to the bottom of the of the bed because the folded part of the sheet will be in the way.

People do this? Even worse, people do this enough for it to be hated?

Sadly, I might still be able to stretch out. If it were a category in the yearbook I would have been voted "boy least likely to reach that".

I hate that NO ONE on the Dis except me has credit card debt.

Would you feel any better if I told you I won't apply for a credit card because I know no legitimate financial institution will give me one (and I refuse to even apply for a card that might end up with a 79.9% APR)?

There are a lot of things that I dislike but not many that I hate. Hate is such a strong emotion that I save it for the really important stuff.

Understood. I started this thread in response to a serious thread titled "I hate teachers" which was started in direct response to a mild venting thread originally titled "I hate parents"

I hate "pooh-sized" Let's be real and call it what it is...

What??? Do you actually expect me to call myself obese? Never mind that, well, it's obvious when you see me !

Hooray for short people! (My husband and I are both vertically challenged. There's nothing on high shelves in our kitchen.)

How is that mean exactly?

I cannot stand people who paint their children in some godly light and their children "can never do anything wrong" but end up being the biggest jerks ever.

Uhm. . .I think Katyielder was being a little bit facetious. Short-sheeting is usually a mild form of hazing that is done at overnight camp. It can be just a form of teasing (for example, if you short sheet a beloved counselor's bunk) or it can be a form of bullying (if you were to short sheet a socially awkward kid).

It's primarily an overnight camp or sibling prank Yeah, people do it - and by people, I mean kids. At least, I hope I mean kids. Any adult short-sheeting someone has deep issues with maturity.

Primarily, though, I chose it because it rhymes

If it weren't for a stool there would be nothing on high shelves in mine either.

As demonstrated by my response to Fire Dancer above, I was. Good analysis, snarlingcoyote!

Yes I am short...that just means it's easier to kick people in the shins when they tick me off.

Actually the meter of your first post will have me humming "Some people call me Maurice" all night long. . .;-).

I'm in the same boat! My boyfriend is the complete opposite (6'4"). I figure when we marry next year, he'll take the high shelves and I'll take the low shelves. I just put all the bad for me food on the high shelves because it's a pain to drag out the stool and stand on the counters.

I hate when they put the peep hole above your head so you can't see out of it! (I have that problem in my new house, apparently the previous owners were fairly tall)

First, we are in debt too...not too bad, but it is what it is and it will get paid off eventually.
I hate when people tell me how I should spend my money, and I hate when people say "don't you think you should put the money towards X instead of going to Disney again?" I am sorry, we work hard, we deserve a vacation too, we put that money aside during the year for vacation, we do it as cheaply as possible, and yes it is Disney, why? Because we enjoy it and DD will only be 5 once.

I also hate being the center of attention, and I am graduating tomorrow from college so I am a little nervous about getting up in front of a bunch of people to get my diploma lol.
O and I also hate when people say they hate teachers, b/c I went to school for 4 years, worked hard, graduating magna cum laude,, took care of my family and home all to get a degree in special ed and psych. So for people to say they hate teachers kinda gets me, b/c I worked hard for 4 years for someone to "hate me?" Please....say you hate "Mr/Mrs/Ms So and So" b/c as much as I am all for teachers and know that they do love their students and work hard, I know their are some out there who should not be teaching.
...I am done now!

I hate when people can't control their children in public places. Tonight I came back to my hotel after a very nice dinner to find 2 special snowflakes RUNNING full tilt down the hallway with dad screaming out, "If you 2 don't get back here, you're going in your rooms for the night." Of course they ran down my end of the hallway and turned around arms and legs flailing, running full bore, NOT looking where they were going and the older one smashed HEAD FIRST into one of my week old abdominal incisions from surgery (conveniently one of the 2 larger ones out of the 8). Had his dad been absent, he would have heard a whole string of choice words. This was also after I hollered at him to look out BEFORE he ran into me. Yes. I am quite steamed because I'm already in boatloads of pain, I didn't need any more!!!!

You're better than I am. I have vague thoughts of some rhythm ending in, "... but I love my truck" by Toby Keith - and I'm probably WAY off! I just couldn't resist the beat

Oh, the song you remember is "The Joker" by Steve Miller. I remember it too, but had to Google for the title. One of the results was somebody else's version of the song, where he "speak of the competence of love" - which, for anyone familiar with classic rock, belongs in the annals of misheard lyrics. The correct version - pompitous - has, naturally, deep, important, and mystical meaning to those of us who grew up in the seventies

I hate the word "yummy". I only read it here on the DIS. And any variation including "yum" or "yummo". Come on...What grown up in the real world says "yummy"?

Then you probably don't like people saying "yummers" either, huh?

Any adult short-sheeting someone has deep issues with maturity.

Short-sheeting the newly married couple's bed after they come home from their honeymoon has been a long-standing "tradition" in "belling" the couple. I don't think many people "bell" newlyweds anymore, but it used to be quite popular. Many pranks were done to the couple, and to announce the "belling" they would gather and stand by/under the couple's bedroom late at night/early in the morning and bang on pots and pans to wake them up. They might blindfold the couple and then take them on a joy ride, while others in the group stay back to pull the pranks, including the short-sheeting, on the couple then traditionally when they brought the couple back the wife made pancakes for everyone.

As for what I hate....I hate people who start a thread and then decide to change the title when they don't like what people are saying about it.

Okay...I'm having a bad day...Can I join in?

I hate diet products...Calories in, calories out...Put down the donut and get real about how you're eating. Problem solved, you don't need a pill. They don't work.

I hate that NO ONE on the Dis except me has credit card debt.

I hate that I am the only one without a gifted child.

You are not alone inthe Credit card Debt.I'm right there with you!!!!
