Things I hate: Lies told underneath the sheets and in the face of darkness. Unkept promises that were better not being made.
A little excess fat that leads to a poor self-image.
Coke-rage (not the one who's taken it, but the one who experiences someone else's)
That burn from hours at the gym (but I kinda like that the next day. Masochist, I know).
People bumping/nudging/punching/scratching the spot where you just got new ink.
Hangovers. Period.
Muscle cramps. Specifically Charlie Horses. Ow.
Any physical representation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in present day and time.
Helicopter 'rents who don't understand the lifestyle.
