Confession: by boyfriend I actually mean husband. But boyfriend just sounds so much better so that’s what we’re going with. But ya, my boyfriend/husband loooooves to hate things. He really, really does. Sure, everyone loves to make fun of stupid celebrities or scoff at ridiculous trashy TV…but I’ve never known someone who gets so much amusement out of hating things.

Now if he were here right now, he’d probably say that I wasn’t being fair. That he feels equal genuine passion for things he loves. Wrong. He loooooves hating things way more than he does admiring stuff. Seriously. Let me count the ways:

Things My Boyfriend Loves to Hate / Round One:

• Those “Coexist” bumper stickers – whenever we see one he’ll say “Oh, I bet whoever came up with that thought he was soooo clever”
• When trilogies (or books in general) suddenly become not three but four movies – apparently this is OK for The Hobbit but not The Hunger Games
• Those Bubblehead ads/art – this is the newest bane of his existence (I actually dislike these too, so can’t really blame him for his hatred…he just hates them waaaaay more than I do)
• Communal tables – the worst offender is Le Pain Quotidien because they advertise their communal table, nothing is more irritating in his book
• Le Pain Quotidien – while we’re at it, I think he just hates them on principle of their pretentiousness

And these are just the few I could think of in five minutes. Just wait…there will be more.
