Funeral Homes hate the Government.

They are incredibly rude to the families receiving financial assistance, it takes 3 months for them to pay us, and did you know that if you don't have a will they cut your step-children out of the process entirely?

We had one gentleman in our care whose only living family was his step-daughter. Because there were no blood relatives and no will the Public Guardian took control of his disposition and the step-daughter had no say in anything that happened with him. Wasn't allowed to keep a portion of the ashes, the Funeral Director had to fight just to allow the step-daughter a brief final visitation.

This is also true for children under 18. Your 17 year old child has no say in your disposition if you have no other living relatives.

Have a will people, if for no other reason than to allow your loved ones to decide how they will grieve rather than some indifferent bureaucrat.

Anyone using a phone hates clankers.

There's one automated system I need to call regularly at work that does not give me the option of dialing numbers and forces me to speak to it. It lists the options it can understand, but I can't just press a number to move on. Then it asks me to say and spell my first name, then say my last name (which it guesses the spelling of incorrectly) and pretends to type while it's processing. Why are we doing this?

Cell biologists hate contaminants.

Arborists hate Bradford pear trees. They’re the ones that have white flowers and smell like cum. That’s not even why we hate them though.

It’s an invasive species and they grow with very poor structure so that they basically collapse in a pile or broken limbs after a couple of decades. And the nurseries marketed them heavily for a while so they’re planted everywhere. Pain in the ass to work with.

Where's the fucking list Donny? Give us the list you fat orange fuck. We know you're on it, and so do you. How did you think this was going to pan-out, dumbass?

Conservatives hate pedophiles

I wish this was really a blanket rule.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

It's in that performative superiority-complex way, like Lindsey Graham hating gays

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Conservatives hate pedophiles

Unless it's their own, then "he's saving a young girl from extreme poverty"/"she's teaching a lucky boy a special lesson"/"was a human after all, no one is perfect".

Proctologists hate things without a flared base.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but not this way!"

Software devs also hate UX/UI Designers.
And Product Owners.
And Scrum Masters.
And Software Architects.
And Security/Compliance Managers.
And QA Testers.
And worst of all... Software devs.

[–] scratchee@feddit.uk 13 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Damned software devs, they ruined software!

[–] spongeborgcubepants@lemmy.world 5 points 48 minutes ago (1 children)

Software devs sure are a contentious bunch

[–] scratchee@feddit.uk 3 points 44 minutes ago

You’ve just made an enemy for life!

And themselves from a month ago...

... when they said to themselves "This little piece of code is fine, I don't need to change it now. I'll just refactor it later. "

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 23 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

And technology. That’s why they all fantasize about living on farms

[–] anti_antidote@lemmy.zip 19 points 4 hours ago

Software engineers hate MBAs. It's like they live in a fantasy world where everything works perfectly and can be done in 3 days and can read your mind.

sysadmins hate end users because end users suck.

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

This brought to mind a collection of asshole admin stories from the early internet. With a bit of googling, it was The Bastard Operator From Hell. God, I haven't thought of those since the 90s. I can't believe I could even recall something like that.

Anyway, fuck users.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

That thing spawned so many fucking great memes before they were even widely called that

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

They are still ongoing!

I know q-tips aren't safe or whatever but man it feels too good to stop.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

They're perfectly safe. Just pinch it towards the end you're using, can't do too deep that way.

Eye doctors hate bungee cords. Be careful with those! ER doctors hate 4th of July.

[–] Usernamealreadyinuse@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

ER Docters hate

  • "well it started 6 months ago.... And since then it is more or less present" -> why are you here?
  • everything firework related -> you really thought it would be cool to make a firework bomb?
  • old people that are dropped by family members on a Friday night and claim the maggots just appeared like 10 minutes ago -> really?
  • people who, after a complete workup expect miracles -> really?
  • (drug induced) aggression -> look I am trying to help you here dude
  • recurrent psychiatric patients that are not treated properly or untreatable -> hey you again, same medication? Wow you were here 7 hours ago...

.... I think the list might go on and on

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 46 minutes ago

Thank you for your service

Psychoanalysts hate those blotchy black & white images of my mother's pussy giving birth to my father who is wielding a knife with my name written along the hilt. "Stop bringing these fucking drawings in here!" she yells. God forbid a man have hobbies.
