30 Times When People Received Hate For The Weirdest Things Ever, As Shared In This Online Community
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!

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. 🤣
Having a very old , sick cat put to sleep instead of just letting her slowly die. 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.
You did good, how could anyone think leaving the poor cat to die in pain is somehow better?
So many humans would think the same about ending their life

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.
Had to say goodbye to two 17-year olds, 6 months apart, this year. There’s no greater love nor a more selfless action than to willingly take on that grief rather than let them suffer. You did the right thing!
My heart goes out to you. I dread the day I have to make that decision.

We had to make that extremely gut-wrenching decision earlier this year for our 18 yr feline furbaby. It was emotionally devastating for us, but it was the right thing to do...we could prolong her suffering to spare ours. (RIP: Greystoke aka The Great Grey Ghost: Fur-Ironside)
My heart goes out to you. I dread the day I have to do it for my dog.

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 have a 21 year old dog. If he has a bad day we go to the vet. Have an agreement with her that she will tell us when it is time as long as we take him for every bad day. 9 times out of 10 she doesn't even charge us.
So good you have a trustworthy vet, it makes such a difference

You are 100% in the right. I have had to do this several times over and it's heartbreaking, but you are making the kindest, most loving choice for your cat. 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.
Had to put 2 very old dogs (both over 18 years old) in the same 3 month period. Both had gotten very ill, lost quite a bit of weight, couldn’t eat, and were listless/sad. I felt that letting them go in their own time would have extended the time they suffered. I only hope that some one can help me along if I am that uncomfortable at my end.
People are f****d up. You did the right thing. Your baby isn't suffering anymore.
You did the right thing. It would’ve been cruel to let her continue to suffer.
I think you did the right thing. I'd do the same. Letting a loved one go is an act of generosity.
I have promised both of my elderly cats (15 & 20) that I would never make them suffer for my own selfishness of not wanting them to go.
You did the most hard thing to do, but the most compassionate and you are a good human being.
I recently had to euthanize my kitty for roughly the same reason; she was unable to process food and had dropped from 12 lbs to 4.5. She died in my arms, purring - I still tear up on occasion.
I'm so sorry for that. I hope you at least remember her with a smile. You have her a lifetime of happiness, even if she could only give you a few years.

I had a cat who had the feline AIDS. I was having trouble putting him down. I went on vacation and he passed while I was gone. That was really hard to deal with. Wish I had just had the guts, like you, to do the right thing.
Someone would prefer that she died a long, drawn out painful death? They are the monster. I hope you have many happy memories of your cat.
I gave my cat sub-q fluids and a cocktail of medications daily to keep her quality of life up. When the fluids and meds no longer could keep her well, I knew it was time to say goodbye. I arranged for the vet to come to my home. The vet gave her a shot to sedate her and I immediately carried my cat to my room alone and held her until she fell into the deep sleep. Then I carried her to her favorite spot for the final shot and then held her until she passed away. It gives me some peace to know the last moments my cat knew in her life was laying with me in the bed she slept in every night and falling asleep. A peaceful passing in her home was my last gift to her. I still miss her dearly.
Never evil to end suffering. May get hate, but I wish it was legal to do it for people requesting it.
No hate from me Jean, I watched my grandmother take 3 months to die in pain and indignity (stroke). I really hope that the law has changed when my time comes

That's compassion. You did the right thing, that's the last loving decision we make for our pets.
We've got a responsibility to our animals which includes making sure they don't needlessly suffer.
2 dogs and 7 cats. When it's time, it's time. I stand by my decision on every one, and wish I could have had more time every time, but I will not leave my animals to suffer when there is nothing to be done.
We know a family that have been keeping their sick dog alive for way too long. Injections 💉 every day and has to be carried outside to do his business. But we LOVE him.
Smh. I don't doubt that they do. But their excuse shows that they are prioritising their feelings over his needs.

We had an older German Shepherd with spinal deformity. She wouldn't eat. She cried out in pain when she got up if she could get up at all. Sometimes she would try and cry and just fall back down. Vet made me feel like an absolute a*s for wanting her put out of her misery.
So sorry Cassie, it's your vet who is a hundred times an a**e

Good for you! It's about the animals quality of life ❤ we can't do this for each other though..we MUST SUFFER..what a shame❤
Not at all a bad thing to do. I just had to let an 8 yr old kitty go and whilst it ripped my heart out she was in terrible distress. I hope someday if I'm an elderly, dying Cathy that some gives me a little something something.
I did that, my cat had fel-v which resulted in kidney faliure when he was 5 years i took it to the vet, ended up with an 800+€ bill but they told me that.... But i couldn't euthanize him, i didn't want him to die in a place he didn't know and was afraid of, só i took him home, where he was King, but i regret it i really do, i saw him wither down to skin and bone, you did the right thing.
You did what you thought was right at the time Aquarius, and you did it for him, not for you.

A friend had the same, she put her 13 year old dog to sleep because he had multiple tumors which weren’t operable. And her two daughters called her an assassin
I had to make this decision for my 17 year old cat just a few days ago. I made the mistake of keeping her going with a feeding tube until all the tests came in so I could be sure it wasn't something that could be fixed. It was cancer. It took over a week for the results to come in because for some reason they had to send the samples out of country for some of the tests. My husband wanted to just keep her going til she died naturally. He wasn't the one feeding her through the tube. She got diarrhea and had started vomiting the slurry and she basically stopped to rest every few feet when she was moving around, and not sleeping. It was the right thing to do, but I'll always have flashes of second guessing, then have to remind myself how sick she was.
UGH, my former MIL had this ANCIENT little dog, like 20+ years old. Little guy was blind, deaf, incontinent and missing almost all of his teeth. She would make rice, carrots and chicken, basically puree it and then HAND FEED him. She refused to have him put down and for that, I gave her some hate.
Please, I’d want this for myself but few areas in the world do it.
Tell him how much we loved him and that we'd miss him but it was OK to go. We all hugged him and then his daughter and I each held one of his hands and then the doctor injected him with a massive dose of morphine and he passed away peacefully. Yes I know it was illegal and the doctor could have lost his licence but my husband deserved a peaceful death. The same thing we do with our beloved animals. Almost 30 years later I remember his doctor and am so thankful he did what he did. Everyone deserves that.
Many years ago my beloved husband had multi organ failure, stemming from his diabetes and heart issues. His last day was so hard. He was in hospital and was very angry at the staff, himself and his body. He said he wasn't leaving me alone and even though his body and heart, lungs, kidneys etc were shutting down his brain was working fine and he was so angry and scared about dying. I called his daughter and asked her to bring his mom in to say goodbye but when they came and try to tell them how much they loved him he rejected them and sent them out of the room. Kept pulling out his iv needles and as his daughter was a nurse I asked her if there was anything that could be done to calm him and maybe let him go peacefully. She said there was but as she didn't work there I'd need to be there to talk to his doctor with her. He was amazing and agreed that it wasn't helping my husband to be so angry and agitated. He gave my husband a large dose of morphine which calmed him down so we could
Injected her and she closed her eyes and passed away peacefully in my arms. She was my best friend and saved my life on more than one occasion by sensing that I was about to have an epileptic seizure and warned me to lie down on my side so I was safe and after the seizure was over she would lick my face to wake me up. 6 years later I still feel her presence. Kneading me on my chest, her weight beside me in bed, hearing her jumping off the bed and her walking out the room. I miss her so much.
My cat Agnes was 18 and had cancer. When the vet told me that it was unsafe to take it out and that I should just take her home and spoil her until she looked ready, before she was in pain etc and then take her back to the vet again to be put to sleep. So I did that 6 weeks we had together. Her last day I'd taken her to the park and she sat on the grass sniffing the air and licking my arm which is what she did to show thanks. The next morning I found her on the floor next to my bed. Back legs were paralysed and she had peed and pooped on the floor. I called the vet and said it was time and took her in. As the vet was preparing the injection I was cuddling her on my lap and she licked my arm and then the vet
I would never subject my animals to a painful and long illness. I wish we could also do it for our sick nearests and dearests. The thought of dying slowly in a hospice give me the horrors
This resonates so very much with me right now. We had to make that extremely hard decision exactly a year ago. Shiloh was in end stage renal failure. Just 12 hours earlier he was having zoomies, being his usual d**k self. He "asked" to hop into the hot water cupboard as normal to sleep. Two hours later his breathing was off. Rang the vet, 8.30 at night, drove half hour to be told Shiloh was in end stage renal failure. Heartbreaking to watch my 6+ foot 30 year old bearded child sob his heart out as his best friend passed in his arms. It absolutely hurts every time but this time, watching my viking child sob in my arms really hurt.
This resonates so much with me, especially now, exactly a year on from making that exact decision.
You are a compassionate human being that didn't let an animal suffer. The EXACT OPPOSITE of a b***h.
Much more compassionate than letting a poor animal suffering. I rescued an older calico cat and she had got where she wouldn’t eat, laying in the same spot, etc. I had taken her to the vet when her symptoms first started but it got worse. I debated on putting her to sleep but she did pass the night before I was going to take her. To this day,, I regret not taking her sooner and for her suffering longer, I also just lost my Dalmatian of 10 years and he was at the vets where he passed away quickly after my last visit. I had told him it was ok to go and was going back that evening to put him to sleep because I did not want him to suffer any longer,
deciding to let your beloved pet die in peace is one of the hardest decisions to make. i always second guess myself when i have to make this call. maybe they would have had one more good week, or month... and it's the worst feeling ever to have those thoughts when in reality you did the best thing for them. never let anyone make you feel bad for making this decision. no one knows your pet better than you do, and you know when they are telling you they're done and ready to go.
Oh no, that's awful. On top of having to say goodbye to her baby, she also has to put up with morons hating her. 😪
The last act of love we do for our pets to to take their pain away from them and into our own hearts. If only we could be as kind to people.
a wise pet lover knows when it is time to say good bye. Letting a dying cat suffer is not love.
That makes me sad when people let their pets die a slow, painful death :(
This is hard a decision but it's made with love. I've lost a cat to advanced kidney cancer and a dog to lymphoma. It was hard to let them go but it was even harder to think about watching them suffer. My vet didn't pressure us and didn't make us feel bad. She understood there was nothing that could be done for either. Both times she made us a card with their paw prints.
I wish Humans would do the same for Human...As long as there was a Previous Agreement, I'm not talking snuff squad here...
Hugs. It’s a tough decision to make, but looking at quality of life it was probably the wiser choice. I didn’t get to make that decision with my cat some years ago; she was 14 yowled and then passed. She didn’t look old and sickly and presented well so it caught me off guard watching her suddenly die.
I've had 3 cats. 2 got really sick (thinning out, not eating, bad chemistry, etc.), but appeared to not be in any pain. We let them "just die" at home. The third got really sick (same symptoms), and the world knew it. Historically a quiet cat, he became a cat who'd whine and moan and meow on and off. We let him go on. Finally, one day, he peed blood and started actually screeching. That was it. We took him to the vet and had him put down. My point is that it depends on the pet and your knowledge of him/her and how he/she lets you know if "action needs to be taken" or "nature should take its course". Pets really do know best. We must listen carefully to them. I'm glad - for you and your cat - that you did.
You loved her and let her move on in a very kind way. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you for loving your girl enough to make the very hard decision to end her pain! You're a stellar Humum
Im so sorry for your loss. But your feline companion knew love and compassion until the last second. They never will.
Oh, God, I cry every time I read something like this. I have a healthy (I hope) 16-year-old cat...
You did the best for your cat. Screw what anyone has to say badly about that
15 years is not that old for a cat - it doesn't sound like she got the cat diagnosed. Just euthanised. I hope I'm wrong.
I was of the same mind with my 17 year old cat until the vet said, look at her. It is time.
My cat was in pain. Her kidneys or liver was failing. She had blood come when she peed. She was 19 and in pain, we had to let her go.
Once a cat stops eating she is only a few days away from dying anyway. This is part of their natural dying process. It actually reduces their pain, and helps in the overall process of slowly and calmly transitioning into death. People of the Jain religion do the same process.
That was the right thing to do. Once it's their time, they let you know. Why make them suffer, if for a little bit of money, they can have a peaceful and pain free goodbye, with their loved ones by their side?
My wife still feels bad about a cat she know she kept too long without putting her down. She was actually going to take her in the next day, but she lost her that night in a not pretty way. Still feels bad about it. We are super attached and love these animals like family and it is so hard to let them go, but you know your animals better than anyone and if you pay close enough attention, they will let you know when it's time. Not anyone else's decision, and you absolutely did the right thing.
you did the right thing. i think it's cruel to let an animal die of starvation or disease.
I hate the idea of ever having to not bring my fur baby home, but in comparison to watching her physically and mentally suffer until death comes ever so slowly? No. I couldn't do that either. Sometimes it is the most humane thing we have to do, and there is no reason to judge anyone who has to make this difficult decision.
It's just taking care of your loved pet and assuming your responsibility for them until the very end. Having had to do this a number of times, I can tell that whoever doesn't understand it is completely ignorant about what living with an animal truly means.
I had to let go two of my fur babies in 2016 (16 and 14 years old ag that time) within a few weeks and my now oldest sweet little lady (currently 15 years old) is under daily surveillance by now not to miss the right point when life is no longer fun for her but starts to become an ordeal. She was already severely ill two times this year and really suffered from the hot temperatures some weeks ago. I don't think that she will make it till the end of this year and although I want to cry each time I think about it I will gladly let her go without unnecessary pain or suffering when her time has come. She will let me know, just like the others did, when it is time and I will do her this last, sad service and drive her to the vet. OP did absolutely right. Let nobody tell you otherwise. It is not "natural", alright, but if I can chose between a "natural" slow death in pain and a peaceful, quick one in the arms of somebody who loves me, I know which one I would choose...
I painted my nursery with an under the sea theme and then was told the blue would make my daughter a lesbian.
"Reading too much" my mom used to get mad at me, an elementary school kid, for going to the library and getting a big stack of books and reading through them all in a day. And I mean she was PISSED, she'd kick me out to go play and I would just sit outside in the grass for a few hours and wait to go back to reading lol
I got in trouble for bringing books into the primary school canteen because the teachers said I should be "engaging with other people, not sitting with my face stuck in a book." Ma'am, I've been engaging with people all day in the classroom? I'd like some time to myself, please? There's also the fact that no one would sit with me so who was I supposed to engage with in the canteen?
Not being able to have children. 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.
ETA before someone tells me “just adopt/get a cat” because *someone always does,* you’re not nearly as helpful as you think you are.
I don't drink alcohol, not preachy about it, I just don't like the taste or the effect.
I get this all the time. I actually have a very strong skin reaction to alcohol, I can't even have chocolates with alcohol, yet people get really upset by it. I've been called a child. Ironically, by a low-key alcoholic.
For putting pink or pastel rainbow fleeces in with my male guinea pigs. They’re guinea pigs…they literally don’t care. They want lettuce.
For not being gay enough. Apparently having sex with guys doesn't make you gay. You also have to mirror whatever the gay club's current fashions are, down to acting like a diva with an attitude problem to be accepted.
For talking to a guy I met on a dating site not knowing he was in a relationship.
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.
Why are people always taking it out on the other person? They usually don't know they're work someone in a relationship, and even they do, it's not nice but they didn't promise you anything. Your partner did
Being introvert. Got a looooooooooot of hate for that.
A lot of people automatically assume that introverts are snobbish or arrogant just because they are quiet. I think they take it as a personal insult when an introvert is not all that interested in engaging.
Being a boy and liking horse riding. It's a frickin hobby people?
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.
So you think it's ok to eat on your lunch break? Seriously? My grandma is in heaven now. Enjoy yours.
For making hot chocolate last year's Christmas some lady was criticizing me for being a adult making hot chocolate saying that's for children.i was having a nice romantic Christmas dinner with my fiance so I wanted to make a Dutch hot chocolate with a chocolate liqueur whipped topping. 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.
During my early days of the internet, there was a post on a livejournal page about some woman who still breastfed her kid until he was like, 5. i commented on it saying “i didn’t even know that was possible” and boy did people come at me. calling me a troll just trying to rile people up, saying it was offensive.. like dude, i was just 15 and honestly had no idea it was possible to breastfeed a child for that long.
Getting the side eye for holding my gfs hand in public (we're interracial).
It's just so silly. It wasn't even someone of our races being all "stop stealing our people." It was another minority!
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.
Few months back, my mum looked disapprovingly at me - mid 40's- settling down some some gaming. She said she couldn't believe I had not grown out of games yet. As she sat there with her Suduko, Wordle, crosswords - and still stopping every few minutes to check out her FB and what's app.
For being 5’9. Someone at work mentioned me being tall for a woman and I said that 5’9 isn’t super tall and they called me a liar and got pissed at me because obviously I was at least six feet tall because he was 5’11 and I’m taller than him. Buddy, I know how tall I am and it ain’t 6’.
For telling someone that I’m allergic to a certain food. (I extremely allergic to it).
How dare you inconvenience someone with your desire to live! What a moron that person was.
Back during the height of the pandemic, I had my kid on the back of my bike. It was a little on the chilly side so he wanted to wear his mask. Some f*****g moron yelled at me that it was child abuse. We were stuck at the lights so he gave me the beans for a red hot minute. Told him I’d consider his parenting advice in the same way I do all the advice I get from crazy people screaming on the street.
Ok, but was he mad at the mask or the bike? The title says bike, but like why was mask mentioned there? Please help I'm confused XD
Scoring good marks in an exam.
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!
I don’t like many sweets, I’m more of a carbs and lasagna person.
Try telling people you don’t like cake when it’s offered. Just f*****g try it. It’ll be a 19 minute back and forth where they refuse to believe you, and the 5 variations of “just take a bite”.
I don’t care if this is your nans famous recipe or if this is your personal favorite cake. I’m going to hate it.
Not going to a birthday party.
I know this sounds rude of me, and I did feel bad. 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 really good memory. Like, people don't believe it so much that they think I lie and make up things.
Mooooom! He's lying again! Seriously, though, remember not to argue with an idiot. You can't win.
Being a working actor. There’s a whole Reddit thread about how ugly and stupid I am in r/commercialsihate…. 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. I was literally doing my job.
As a former people pleaser, making my own life choices instead of following others' pushy advice... Life choices that only concern me.
That's called taking responsibility. I rather thought it was a major goal.
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.
I had explained to someone that nurses are mandatory reporters

I once got threats for having a gaming PC. Because I’m a woman and…apparently that was taking a graphics card away from a ‘proper’ gamer (aka male). Definitely the most bizarre.
I too am a woman gamer. Hearing that almost makes me want to collect graphic cards just for fun.

Strangely enough it was on here for Thanking an American pilot for his service, i've never seen so much hate from other people
Made a joke once that referenced America, got jumped on by the 'Murican populace of BP for being part of the supposed Anti American hate group that exists on BP. The joke did not even insult America, it made reference to it. Got some love from the American's that understood the joke and also understand the cross cultural banter and taking the p!ss that exists between countries on BP.
On an online game I was playing, someone shamed me for not answering a question. They started spamming the chat wanting to know my name, age, address, etc., And apparently if I didn't answer, I would be a fat ugly bald black 60 year old man, that spent all of my time playing that game because I didn't have a life. The one thing they didn't know was that I was an admin...
For knowing the names of "unusual" plants and flowers. It was on a Girls scouts jamboree, I was a (quite bratty) leader's kid but took part in most activities with the scouts that were 2-3 years older than me. One of the activities included listing plants and flowers found in the neighbouring fields and woods. Most got somewhere between five and fifteen plants, we (I) got close to fifty. The reason I knew so many flowers was that I used to hang around with my grandmother and I "collected" nice sounding words like latin names
That brought back memories of o level biology. A lot of wild plants pressed and identified etc. in a binder as part of the required practical. 1961. I missed the written exam because i got ill from wandering around the countryside in a heat wave with my friend when there was nothing new in bloom to find. We were reduced to roaming a dehydrated cracked bare field in the end. And that was the best part of biology for me. 😉

For not wanting or having kids. I'm 36, I was diagnosed with JRA at 3. My coworker was brave enough to ask well are your parts still work right? Dumb for not wanting kids. I clapped back said I had a hip replacement at 33, and it's none of your business. With you being a female you should know and understand that you should never ask another woman about kids because you don't know their health. She hasn't spoken to me since 😆.
I was the relief carrier (T-6) for this one guy. He HATED me AND WOULD NOT LET ME KNOW WHY! Turns out, the costumers committed to him how I delivered the mail so much earlier than him and it drove him crazy. He would call me b***h, pig ,etc. When I complained to management they told me he can hate who ever he wants. Makes for a shitty work environment.🙄
I was once called a lier and a "showoff" 🤔 for answering why I was so happy by saying I was on my period. 🤷♀️ I don't know why, but before my period I always get in a good mood and are almost silly happy. Not when I'm in pain obviously, but other days. I have never met anyone that feels like that. BUT instead when I ovulates I want to eat lots of sweets and feel sad and depressed. It's weird.
Lol I used to take antidepressant for the 2 days before getting my period and after that I was just happy again, especially the first two weeks, during and after my period.

I earned a BA and was exploited for 16 years on straight salary. So I qualified for an hourly non-exempt position as a technician and took it. I got paid for my overtime finally, hooray! The net pay was sometimes as much as double what I was getting on salary. I was hated by the other hourly workers for having more formal education than they had. They said anyone who worked hourly with a BA was a fool and useless idiot. I proved them wrong every day, but they never stopped the hate. Don't be a hater.
Oh forgot this one: for buying a 3 bedroom house despite not wanting children. Apparently that’s ‘unfair’.
So many of these are about "gay" things. Where is this handbook of gayness anyway? i don't think I understand the rules.
I get hate from one friend for not wanting to go to every movie she wants to go to. Sorry, I don't care for comic book movies and really I hate the loudness of any movie. I can barely understand the dialogue and have to wear earplugs. And for wanting to go horse riding on my birthday. Something I wanted to do and she didn't.
For saying California is the third largest state. The response was “All you Californian think you’re so much better than everyone. Idaho is waaaaay bigger than California”. And then she acted confused when I was offended.
She's wrong and dumb on TWO counts, even. CA is bigger in both population and physical size.

For my vocabulary. I got yelled at for 45 minutes for using a word the other person didn't know. Apparently I'm a pretentious m**********r for knowing the word "anodyne" instead of reading the other person's mind for a synonym they knew.
We really need to figure out scripts for dealing with insecure people who project that insecurity all over the rest of us.

I used to work at after-school programs, mostly for middle school kids. We were getting complaints from parents that kids weren't doing their homework. So we were told by our boss to make sure kids did their homework. So when a kid said they didn't have any, I made them show me their teachers' lists of homework on their schools' sites. Then I got fussed at for being too tough on the kids. I also got fussed at for helping them too much when they needed it. So uh, what's the purpose of our program? If we weren't doing sports with the kids, we weren't good employees. I should've quit trying.
Oh, and at another program, I got fussed at for not engaging with the kids much when watching them... so I started engaging more, then got fussed at for not being able to watch the whole room if I was engaging with them. I really love kids... I loved the jobs.... I hated my bosses.
Load More Replies... Got a good two weeks of pm'ed hatred and banned from a question answering subreddit for...answering the question instead of flaming the asker. Flames are against the sub's rules, and the question did need a calm and rational response (which the asker thanked me for doing) so why I got banned for following the rules instead of breaking them I don't know. And yes, a mod did tell me that I was banned for answering a question instead of flaming the asker.
It's true! Guys really do get sensitive about my being 5'10 and claim I'm lying because Mr Dude who's 5'9 wants people to believe he's 6'. My hubby is 5'8 and has no problem. He says he's married to a model and always thrilled when I wear heels
I get hate all the time off my family for having a chronic illness apparently I’m ‘putting it on’ baring in mind I’ve had major brain surgery for my illness. Also due to said brain surgery I struggle with memory loss so I forget to do simple things sometimes which p**s people off.. like I can help it 🤦🏼♀️ Best one is I’ll be better if I loose weight…. Alrighty then Karen… I’ve dealt with this for 9 years but loosing a couple of pounds will make it go away 🤦🏼♀️
I'm sometimes treated like a liar on the internet when I say I'm on both sides of an argument, I'm a very logical person for that kind of situations so I'll always have some way to validate/reject every point (if I really can, not arguments with an obvious winner). Ppl will be like "oh yeah, sure, everyone believes you" and decide were can they put me on the spectrum of the conversation (?)
I am flight attendant and once one of the passengers was screaming at me that it is my job to put stairs to the aircraft (it was one of a greatly understaffed UK airports, so even we've arrived on time, we were waiting for around 50 minutes for the stairs to be brought by GH). I had an attempt to explain him that this is actually an airport responsibility, but guy was highly sure that was my job. Like, he thought I would jump out of the plane and go bring the stairs just because he was mad at me. 😅 I knew that if I would be listening to this for one more minute I would just burst out laughing, and other passengers were laughing already and it made it harder to keep myself. So I just apologized for his experience and walked back to my jumpseat (in the middle of the cabin btw). I heard he was screaming something at my back, but really I couldn't stand it anymore. It's actually normal for me to be accused of something people do not fully understand. Just funny 😅
No...LOL. You're just explaining the "how" of show business. I grew up on stage, my friend. Singing, dancing, acting, auditioning, rehearsing, competing. I get it. And I understand that it is cutthroat. But WHY must a human being sacrifice any part of themselves for the sake of a career? Or more specifically, what gives anyone else the right to take a part of a person's humanity just to make money?
For expecting coworkers to do their friggin' job. Look, you don't need to do anything beyond your job description, and you don't need to be a gung-ho, get-'er-done dynamo, but also don't leave a mess for other people to clean up.
I get a lot of flack for not wanting to drive. I live in a small city with a lot of sprawl and a so so bus service. I have my bus routes planned and manage well. I know how to take a taxi. I won't refuse a lift from someone but am in no way bothered by a slower travel pace. Hubby does drive btw and we have a car I just find other drivers terrifying.
I once got threats for having a gaming PC. Because I’m a woman and…apparently that was taking a graphics card away from a ‘proper’ gamer (aka male). Definitely the most bizarre.
I too am a woman gamer. Hearing that almost makes me want to collect graphic cards just for fun.
