Michael Corleone once said in The Godfather 3: "Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment." If you change "enemies" to "people" in this quote, then you get, perhaps, perfect advice for behavior in any society. The problem is that no matter how perfect the advice is, few people really follow it.

In fact, people love to hate and express their hatred - even if this feeling is fleeting, and tomorrow they will forget what or whom they hated. Often behind this hatred is just fear. Fear of what seems too different from the usual things, of opinions that are incomprehensible, of decisions that one does not share. So hatred is incredibly often expressed for reasons that are not really worth a damn.

Recently, a thread appeared in the AskReddit community, where a topic starter asked just one question: "What is the dumbest thing you've ever received hate for?" Right now, the thread has nearly 19K upvotes and about 15.5K comments with tales ranging from funny and absurd to bitter and hurtful.

Bored Panda compiled for you a selection of the most popular comments from this thread, a real quintessence of human stupidity, proof that one can literally hurt a person just for nothing. So read these stories, scroll to the very end, share your opinions in the comments... and please try to just love, and not hate!

30 Times When People Received Hate For The Weirdest Things Ever, As Shared In This Online Community Not me, but my husband. He has a fondness for BRIGHT NEON COLORS. Which is so opposite to his quiet, reserved personality that it tickles me to death. So, he came home from work. We spent an hour of, “No, what do YOU want for dinner?” He ran and threw some non-work clothes on… NEON YELLOW-GREEN shirt and navy shorts and his NEON ORANGE sneakers and ran to get takeout. The lady in front of him in line, turned around, looked my husband up and down, and proceeded to excoriate him for his choice of clothing: How on earth could he go out in public like that? What was he thinking? That doesn’t match at all! Those colors are insulting and his wife should be ashamed of herself for letting him dress like that! My husband, who is normally so polite, looked HER up and down and told her he could change clothes, but she’d always be an ugly b***h. I was SO proud of him! Though he may have had to convince me to not go driving to find this woman so I could punch her in the nose. 🤣

I mean, to my eyes, but I know how to look away from that (and not make rudeass comments about what other people wear, what was that lady thinking?). Like, neons hurt my eyes but people love them and that's perfectly okay. I have the ability to not have to look directly at them and mind my own business 🤣

Winston Churchill to Lady Astor when she accused him of being drunk: 'My dear you are ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly'. Probably apocryphal but makes a good story!

There's another Churchill anecdote in which a disgusted lady says: "If you were my husband I would put poison in your coffee" and he replies: "And if you were my wife I would drink it."

She had stopped eating and wouldn't move. She just sat in the same spot dying. I took her to thr vet and we wound up euthanizing her. Apparently I am an evil b***h for not just letting her starve herself to death. She was 15 years old.

    As a responsible, loving cat owner/cat parent/person owned by the cat, you absolutely did the right thing and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I know it was mentally and emotionally painful for you to have to make that choice, but you made the responsible and loving decision to not prolong your pet's suffering and it was unbelievably cruel of someone to tell you what they did.

    Many long-term animal lovers, like myself, have had to do this, and it sucks beyond most levels of suckiness. However, nobody should leave an animal to suffer. I was always under the impression that I had to be a manly man, but I bawled like a child when I was forced to put one of my kitties down.

    So someone has lost their pet after 15 years of love and people in her lives are calling her names? How terrible is that. My childhood dog lived till almost 20 - he did not appear to be in pain at the end, but it was heart braking talking to my parents who struggled to accept the poor thing had gone far passed quality of life. My cat is 15, he had an accident last year - luckily he made a full recovery, but we must be strong for our furry loved ones. If they will not recover and are distressed, you cant explain it to them, so only one right choice - however hard.

    This is a very hard decision to make, which I completely understand after having gone through it personally, but end of the day, you gotta do what's best for your animal's quality of life. Not being able to move or eat sounds like a hellish existence and it's better to say goodbye to them before their pain becomes too excruciating

I had a vet a few years back question as to why I didn't want treat my 18yr old cat for bowel cancer. He had stopped eating, had blood in his stool and was hiding under furniture in the house. When he was initially sedated for euthanization, he purred and purred and rubbed agaist our hands. He left this world loved.

I was once made to apologize to an adult man at a family gathering who was so deeply offended by my "snobbery" for reading during a pool party that he spent the whole time complaining about what "a b***h" and "snot" I was until my mother finally came and got me to apologize to him and "not be so unfriendly."

Con: The bookmobile only came once a month. As a teacher later on I bought books and also checked out as many as possible from the school library as well as the town one. Because of the bookmobile experience as a kid a recognized the benefits of having books of all reading levels and covering a variety of interests! Lot if good readers came out of my class!

A guy took it upon himself to “introduce” me to concepts such as IVF and surrogacy. When I told him those wouldn’t work, he basically told me, “well, it’s no wonder you have no children if you won’t even consider the most basic of options.” My eggs work perfectly fine, as far as I know. But pregnancy would literally kill me, and I’m on life-saving medications that would cause severe birth defects. But f**k me, amirite? Just a choosy beggar, a wannabe victim.

    If it is friends doing this, find some new friends. I was intially ribbed for not drinking at my car club's pub meets, but they have now got to know me properly and will quite happily buy me soft drinks. I do drink, but I won't have any alcohol at all if I am driving.

    There are people who seem to take it as a personal insult when another refuses a drink. It's as if they perceive the refusal as slap in the face, or being called out for excessive drinking, etc. If you want a drink, have a drink. It doesn't bother me, but I don't like it. The same is true for beef, olives and mushrooms. I don't like them, but if you like them, that's fine.

The women will claim that the bi women are "performing heteronormativity" and are "taking away queer spaces." I can't believe I have to actually f*****g protest for bi people to have equal rights *to actual gay people* but here we are. Guess what, queer people? Even if someone else isn't queer like how you are queer, they're still queer, too! F**k gatekeeping.

Dude was messaging me on a dating app, we met up and he seemed cool. We hung out once, he wasn’t my type and we parted on good terms and then his fiancé called me. I said I was sorry, I had no idea. I stopped talking to the guy instantly but I still faced 6-8 months of harassment from this woman and her friends. I got told I wouldn’t live to see my next birthday, I got told I was fat and a s**t, they called me non stop they said that they knew where I lived, where I went to uni.. I even got threats on my blog that I had set up for uni. It was intense. I ended up getting the police involved. From what I know she stayed with him but somehow I was in the wrong even though I had no idea she existed. He did nothing wrong, it was all me…f*****g ridiculous.

    It pains me that so many women would still rather blame "the other woman" instead of blaming the person who should get the blame: the scumbag guy who cheated on her. Because if he cheated once, chances are he's going to cheat again. Ladies, he betrayed you, he betrayed your trust, dump him like the garbage he is.

    Ok, so the only way I can get this to make any kind of sense in my head is that these women so insecure that it's not that their man cheats because he's a b@stard who bears at least 50% of the responsibility for cheating (100% in this case since "the other woman" was oblivious to her status), it has to be entirely the fault of the other woman for being prettier, more fun, insert-positive-quality-the-jealous-woman-knows-she-lacks, so *of course* her man strayed the second someone better comes along. This is such a blow to the woman's already fragile self-image that she has to tear down her rival with all venom to make herself feel better. Or, as @GVL puts it "people can be idiots"

It doesn't help that I have an accent that is perceived as "posh" in my country and some people are very judgmental about it. Ironically, I have also been told off for being too vocal because I will speak up if there's something I feel strongly about and will be critical (politely) if the situation calls for it.

    For centuries horse riding was a "manly" thing (probably because of the very real dangers, especially before the invention of helmets, and that it was probably mainly for hunting)

    30 Times When People Received Hate For The Weirdest Things Ever, As Shared In This Online Community For having lunch with my grandma on my lunch break at work. Not joking. I serve a wide area of my state and when I’m in her part of the state, which was historically underserved by the person in my position before I was, I eat lunch with her during my lunch break. The other administrators I work with in parts of the state that I serve are now complaining that the only reason that part of the state is getting more attention (ie. Equal treatment to them rather than being neglected) is because I like to have lunch with my grandmother.

    one of the reasons my big burly bearded son of 43 is so precious to me is that throughout his life - even as a teen - he would get comments about how close we are and called names. including 'mama's boy'. to which he would reply - 'damn right - how sad it is that you can't admit that you love your mom openly' and, we are still close and we better be - he lives right next door. but, we handle this well. it's called boundaries. in the 9 yrs he has lived there i have been in their home maybe 7 times. they usually come over to my place to visit. oh, and btw, my dad lives on the other side. same thing with him with the exception that he will eat dinner with me many night. started out after mom passed and i wanted to make sure he was eating well. now, we just enjoy dinner and actually share recipes he finds on the food network

I just looked at her like she was crazy. Edit this happened at a store I was telling my fiance what we needed to make dinner and dessert and the lady was eavesdropping. I needed the hot cocoa so we could have cookies and cocoa and watch some Christmas movies together.

    I have to agree. I knew someone who kept nursing her child way into toddlerhood. If the kids can say 'other side, mom' I figure that's a good indication it's time to quit the nursing. I'm just an old-fashioned fart.

    We're talking about this like it doesn't happen now. Every day right here on BP people get chastized, downvoted, suspended or banned for posting unpopular opinions.

    This bothers me too. People being suspended for an opinion or even a question, which by definition can't be wrong, stifles conversations. In my view, BP needs to do better at differentiating trolls and people with different opinions to the majority. Otherwise this will just end up becoming another echo chamber.

    Yeah, nursing a 5 yr old has nothing to do with the child's health but the mothers need. I nursed 2 children and remember a cousin in law nursing 2 at the same time. Newborn and 4 yr old. When the baby was fed the 4 yr old demanded it as well. Never understood why she didn't wean him him while she was pregnant for the next one.

    Anger has become a fad and an addiction. People are looking for ways to be victimized and triggered nowadays. It's a symptom of having complex monkeys living in a space age world. The peace and civility we struggled for for a million years is intolerable to the conflict oriented human mind. The more comfortable humanity gets, the harder it will look to manifest struggle. It's as ironic as it is annoying.

    Some folks have an issue with others asking for clarification (because we all think the same way and know the same stuff /s). Others are just complying with a religiously defined point of view. If there weren’t so many real examples that directly contradict all current religions, I’d give them a chance to convince me. Stick to your questions, I’ve yet to find a religion beyond Christianity that will damn you, no questions asked. Oh! Yeah… avoid Christianity.

    It's actually possible to breastfeed until you're in your nineties and beyond! If you never stop breastfeeding after you give birth, you just keep producing milk, even past menopause. This would happen with professional wet nurses in the old days, who would nurse the babies of people who couldn't produce milk/the mother had died/etc. I only learned this a couple years ago, and I'm well into adulthood. I always assumed the breasts just stopped making milk after a few months.

    I witnessed on the bus an Indigenous lady got on the bus, noticed a Caucasian girl with an Indigenous guy. The Indigenous girl sat right next to the guy (they were sitting at the back on a 5 seater.) and started heavily flirting with the boyfriend, making comments like "Why are you with some white colonist?" among other comments. The guy was trying to tell her off and leave them alone. They got up. As soon as they did the Indigenous girl pushed the guy's girlfriend into one of the seats. They went to the bus driver to complain. The now-assaulter, also left the bus and walked away when she found out the bus driver called the police. This happens so often.

    30 Times When People Received Hate For The Weirdest Things Ever, As Shared In This Online Community Video games back when I was a teen, so about 10-15 years ago. My parents did not know jack s**t about it, so they chose to tried to squash it out of me instead of understanding it. Sucks when all you want to do on your free time as a teen was play with the boys. Today I am still very much a gamer, and they kinda accepted it. Just last week my Mom asked me why I didn't pursue a career in video games because I love it so much. I simply answered: You never supported my love for it, and since you paid for my college I never thought you would have approved. The look of guilt and realization on my mother's face was kinda bittersweet.

    My mom did a similar thing re: my music. She'd constantly mock my music and my favorite bands growing up. My then-stepfather used to punish me for listening to non-American/non-country music. Thing is, Mom loves music, and there are a ton of links between my favorites and hers. If she'd spent some time just not being a complete a*****e putting down everything I loved as "stupid," we might've actually bonded over music and had a whole mode of communication and sharing over it through decades. The last time I saw her, she made an aside re: seeing some doc with my favorite band and "I never realized that they ___ and ____!" And I said "No s**t. Imagine if you had actually talked to me about them at the time instead of just making fun of me for liking them and telling me how stupid they were?" She, too, had that look of guilty realization. But back then, it was more important to her to feel special and gain her friends'/men's approval by being a "mean girl" about what I loved. WTG, Mom!

    When I was about 15, I remember my mom coming into my room while I was reading a book. She asked me if I was done with my homework yet. I said 'no'. She she told me to hurry up and do my homework, so that she could watch me play computer games. Hehehehe. She loved watching me play. She would get so over-excited and yell advice at me.

If you are allergic to something it can KILL you. This means no mucking around saying things like "a little bit won't hurt you".

    In one of my college classes, some fellow students loudly complained (in class with the teacher present) that my high exam scores were "ruining the grading curve for everyone else" My teacher snapped back immediately that they're just mad because it means they need to step up their game and stop phoning it in. She also said to me directly: "Don't ever play dumb just because someone else can't handle it." That is excellent advice!

    At the age of 12 my teacher was presenting certificates to the class for top marks and I got quite a few. My "friends" hissed each time I got one and when I came to school the next day they had moved their desks away from mine, leaving my desk stranded alone in the middle of the classroom. All the other girls already had their cliques so the remaining 4 months of the year were pretty uncomfortable. Took quite a few years to get over that one.

    You are SUPPOSED to get everything correct. That's why you study and learn the stuff. Every question you get wrong is a failure on your part. Imagine having a plumber or electrician or dentist who only got 85% of the things he/she does correct. Would you be ok with them getting a "B" on your water heater hookup, your ceiling fans install, or your root canal? If you didn't get 100%, go back and figure out why. Do Better!!!

You’re going to get married, have children and stop working! Why waste that place a young man needs to get an education to support his family?” Welp, I have three degrees, no children, no husband (got rid of him!) and a career I love.

    I was in a class with the majority of the HS football team, and the coach was the teacher. He graded on a curve to insure his players were eligible. I started in that class in October, and on the first test, I got a perfect score. That blew the bell curve and a bunch of the football players had to miss the next game. So I got stuffed in a locker. I learned to take the test, then go back and deliberately change answers so I wouldn't blow the bell curve. I left the eraser marks of the right answers on the test forms, and I would tell the teacher "I got a 78".

But, I had my reasons. Back in high school, my friend was having a birthday party. At the time my dad was really ill, he was in the hospital and I wanted to be by his side. I told her my reason and that I wouldn’t be able to make it, but once my dad was better, I would celebrate with her in a different way. She didn’t like this, and threw a fit about it. To this day, I still don’t understand why. But, we’re no longer in contact.

    My grandmother passed. We were really close. A friend was having her wedding the next day. She completely understood I did not want to attend such a happy occasion while I was so sad, and drag everyone down with me.

Making fun of the way I’m dressed (I didn’t get to pick it out, that’s the wardrobe person), my hair (same, hair person), and how dumb “I” am…someone even said I looked like I was having a stroke.

    When I decided to become a film and TV makeup artist, every single person I grew up with told me that it wasn't a real career, that I shouldn't waste my time on a stupid "hobby". With this "hobby" I was able to do what I love, travel on their dime, join a union, get full medical coverage and a pension, make people happy, buy a home, meet my husband, and I still love it 30 years later. I'm so glad I didn't let the haters discourage me.

    30 Times When People Received Hate For The Weirdest Things Ever, As Shared In This Online Community Not me but my dad. So my dad used to have trouble remembering names so he would call people Boss. Some dude went up to him one day and got really mad at this nickname. When my dad asks why the dude no joke says: “Boss backwards means Sorry Son Of a B***h.” And that is the most pathetic cry for attention I’ve ever heard. This was in a bar to so maybe the dude was drunk but still that was a hilarious story. Edit: I edited for the typo but also to say what my dad did after: he just laughed which further pissed the guy off but he really couldn’t help it. Dude wanted to fight my dad and my dad was just laughing, imagine how embarrassing that would be.

My life is awesome without kids. I am forever grateful that I didn't fall for my family's crazy, religious, sexist pressures that you HAVE to have kids. Instead of being another teen mom, I became the first person in my family, on both sides, to get a PhD. A MUCH better and healthier decision in my case!

    As I get older, I believe there is a time to be kind and polite - and there is a time to say "enough is enough."

    Well, I must admit there are times when being polite can be subtle, or not so subtle, sarcasm. Don't ask me how I know. I'm Canadian and it's a secret. 🍁

    I also get this. I was called 'PC Lesley" at my old job because I wasn't rude and I didn't let anyone get away with any discriminatory language. When I told them I didn't care what someone looked like, it was kindness that mattered to me, I was ridiculed. When a colleague showed me a pic of his girlfriend and I said how beautiful she was, I was ridiculed. I got out of there as quickly as I could.

    I need more context on this. There are some managers that micro manage and no one likes that. But then there are the good managers that encourage employees to think for themselves and learn.

    So stop being accommodating and helpful to just the employees that don't respect you. Treat them the way they want to be treated. Ignore them, string them along then dash their hopes for vacation time, deny requests for anything and treat them like c**p. Disrespect can go both ways

    30 Times When People Received Hate For The Weirdest Things Ever, As Shared In This Online Community Not liking football (soccer for the US people). Where I live in the Netherlands there is/was a huge football influence. It is way less now, but everyone footballed, everyone was part of a football club and followed everything with the local club and national. Both girls and boys. I just simply didn't like it (still don't). Both grown adult people and childeren could get so petty about it. Even my teacher was petty about it. Even gave me a bloody time out in the hall way as a punishment when I wasn't participating with enthusiasm in the classroom about football and couldn't admit I liked one football team. I just needed to admit it, because it made the whole class mad and 'ruinend the mood for everyone'. Dude was weird, because he even gave a punishment when I wouldn't pray in class. I live in a country with religious freedom... My parents were not happy with the dude. Never made the punishment homework

    Britisher here from the United Kingdom of UK here. I never liked football growing up, I was the "odd" one because of it at school. I got a lot of flak over it. I remember another lad who did not like football, he became a Manchester United fan to try and fit in. Man U being the most popular team at the time. He had to live a lie to try to fit in. Peer pressure is a b***h.

    I don't mind watching football matches, but like I'd never use my free time for that- but I remember it was hilarious in primary school, some girls were talking about football (the league with man united, etc), and when asked about my team I just agreed with the girl I heard talking most about it, so said that I'd be rooting for liverpool XD But luckily never pretended to watch football, just didn't talk about it

    30 Times When People Received Hate For The Weirdest Things Ever, As Shared In This Online Community Got permabanned from r/space for explaining the surprisingly true fact that you can safely view a solar eclipse through a telescope during totality. Everyone including the mods refused to believe that I'd actually done it on an eclipse cruise along with a couple thousand amateur astronomers and the sight is unbelievably amazing. They all called me a liar because their elementary school teachers didn't know either, and they accused me of trying to blind children (why?). Eventually a mod said I *might* be right but the ban would stand because it would be a dangerous fact that could cause people to look at the sun outside of totality. Sheesh

    I wouldn't exactly call the organisers of a cruise, or a bunch of amature astronomers, a reliable source. Also, just because you've done it, doesn't mean you should have. I believe you can technically look directly at the sun without causing permanent damage (the damage will often heal), but if you do it too much you can go permanently blind.

    I met a girl who had a baby with an extra thumb. She's Mongolian and said it was a genetic thing. I told my mom this and she didn't believe it was a genetic condition, and said it was likely the mom's fault for not eating right while pregnant. My mom made similar comments and lectures to me while I was pregnant, saying if anything was wrong it will be my fault. I had anxiety throughout my whole pregnancy because of her.

    Hmmm. I have NO IDEA why people would downvote things just because they don't agree with them. It's almost as if these people just feel like punishing those who have a different life's view. "How dare everyone else not agree with me because I'm perfect? Downvote to you. You should take your suspension time to think about just how right I am."

    I shared a post from another group on Facebook that was saying happy birthday to Wendie Malick with 6 photos of her to my Frasier group. I instantly got attacked by multiple people because one of the 6 photos was actually someone else and I hadn't realised before I shared it. Personally attacked for it even though I hadn't written the article, just shared it.

    I was selling British VHS tapes on eBay.co.uk They were listed on eBay in PAL video tapes. I had an American buyer leave negative feedback as it wasn't clear that his low quality NTSC only VCR would not play the tape. They left negative feedback and said my listing was misleading I added a disclaimer for all subsequent listings. I still had another American message me complaining. When I said that one of his "fellow countrymen" had encountered a similar problem he thought I was calling him a hillbilly and left hateful negative feedback too.

    Believing in evolution. At a college. Edit - For context, this was at a Christian college during the first week of living in the dorms, before classes started. Many of the other students there had been homeschooled or went to very conservative, private high schools where evolution may have been taught to some degree, but human evolution was treated as “just a theory” if taught at all. As such, they had a very limited and flawed understanding of the science and obviously there was a lot of familial/communal baggage that encouraged them to reject it as well. Years later, all of them (or at least the ones I still see on Facebook) have changed their tune on the matter. The school in question actually had a very good medical science department, for a school of its pedigree and size, so I suppose being exposed to a less biased version of the science made it easier for them to accept, and being away from their family/etc also removed some of that pressure or burst their bubble a bit. I still resent how they treated me for not being a “good Christian,” but ultimately it had little effect on the course of my life.

    Yeah I can appreciate the Christian view that incorporates science (im not Christian). Like they say God still made it so but created the factors for it to occur and didn't create directly or wasn't so hands on and did the "let's see where this goes" approach.
