my timezone is 12h ahead of yours

Ha! But right now I am very close to your timezone (I am in Malaysia), 11 hours ahead of my usual timezone. In the near future (3 weeks) I will be back to the past.

I hate myself, fisrt time I wrote the sentence above I inverted the words "from" and "to".

I edited the original but @Horsa quoted it before I edited, so my mistake is forever registered.

Ha! I fooled you! I won't say I hate her for that. Don't hate the messenger! This is just spurious, secondary hatred. Focus on the real and profound part of your hate. Now, excuse me, I have some hatred to catch up.
I noticed that but didn't mention it as I know that your English is normally very good. I also realise that when your English slips it is normally when you're in a rush, very busy or in a bad mood so I let you off. Go on then. Have a rant & rave about things.

(my emphasis)
I don't care about TDK tapes being useless now (I have a boxful of them in my garage, mainly rock & jazz classics) but I hate when in writing speech, people make mistakes/typos that change the meaning of what is said or makes the meaning silly. E.g. when "its" and "it's" get confused, as above.
I hate that too. I let you off on the odd occasion when you make them though as I know English isn't your Mother tongue.

I hate that, too. Annoyingly, I’ve noticed I’ve been guilty of it when not paying sufficient attention to autocomplete.
I know autocorrect & autocomplete were made to increase productivity & make things easier but I hate them sometimes too as they're not always 100% correct & can make things harder.

Had a short story published in a compilation by a small editor house... and they printed my surname wrong. I hate them to my guts.

All those zz's on my username here come from my surname. They changed it to S's. How I hate those bastards.

So your writing pseudonym is Mrs S?

1stly, congratulations on having your story published.

Until you explained your username I thought it came from the fact you thought you were that boring you sent people to sleep, you found other people so boring you went to sleep or you were a big Z.Z. Top fan. I can understand how you must be feeling. It's so annoying when people get your name wrong especially if the way you spell it changes the way it's pronounced. (If I'm not mistaken Zz in your language is pronounced ts. In our language it would be pronounced s as in fuzz.)

Thanks!

Actually that would be Italian (in most cases at least, just think of "pizza"). But my surname IS italian so it is pronounced exactly like that. In Portuguese the z's sound much like in English, in general like the sound you have in "zebra". And we don't have double zz's like in Italian.

You're welcome.

I thought so.

I HATE when someone changes the layout of the board I write in.... looking at you, @britbox

It DOES NOT matter if the new one is better than the old, it DOES NOT matter if the new one has features that will surely help to make it more popular (in fact, it matters, as I HATE popular stuff), and it DOES NOT matter if the guy who implemented it had another night of work which was solemnly ignored by the users. He deserved that.

Boy I HATE when I don't find the right emoticon. This time was a simple emoticon of a good ol toxic man grabbing and shaking his own balls. Why can't we have good simple stuff anymore?

I HATE new year celebrations... I don't care if people celebrate obviously but I HATE to watch it and specially take part on it. It is always very hard to be able to escape it all and sleep though the passage (well, there are other options, but I will let you guess). There is always someone (usually more than one) that simply cannot understand that I really DO NOT want to make a toast and wear white clothes. At least I always have a Slayer T-shirt with some satanic messages to wear.

I hate it here in NYC, but I'm happy to have a quiet evening with food, wine and loved ones...OUT OF TOWN! Here, you can't get a bloody cab, unless you pay whatever they're asking. And I have no idea why anyone would stand for hours in Times Square, in pens, for the pleasure of...what, exactly? This year, I'm making a lasagna from the old family recipe, and my friend has some great bottles of wine that need drinking. Good riddance to 2019, which I mostly HATED, and a Happy, healthy 2020 to all my Frontier friends. :heart:

It’s the invasion of the diaper lovers.
