They serve a purpose. Suppose you only have a few items, are in a bit of a rush, and have an IQ over 50. The self check-out is definitely the way to go. Hey, I'm not a complete bitch. If ... http://dailylistofhatreds.com/17/technology-is-only-as-effective-as-the-people-using-it/ There are times when I like to really splurge and stay at a super expensive hotel.  When I do so, I have very high standards and almost universally those standards are met and my expectations are exceeded.  For example, when we stayed at the Four Seasons at the bellman offered to ... http://dailylistofhatreds.com/16/hotel-hatred/ Hello cats and kittens.

In doing so, I discovered that there's some sado-capitalist involved with creating the specification for HDTV.

If you're not going to make it your full-time lifestyle, don't do it at all. (Disclaimer: I'm not goth. Nor emo. I just think that if you're going to adopt a lifestyle, you ... http://dailylistofhatreds.com/13/things-i-hate-about-valentines-day/ Today, I'm hating on politics.  Huge. First, allow me to bag on Ron Paul supporters.  It's bad enough that your candidate, while full of good intentions, is a racist nutjob.  But do you guys really have to be such arrogant, snotty little shits?  Seriously.  Their holier-than-thou crap is almost as off-putting ... http://dailylistofhatreds.com/11/politics/ Billy Mitchell -- I didn't even know who Billy Mitchell was until last night and now I probably hate him more than I hate the woman from the Video Professor commercials.
