If you meet someone and they happen to like the same musicians as you do, the two of you will probably have a nice conversation. But if they turn out to despise the ones you also can't stand, you've probably found a new friend. Nothing brings people together tighter than shared antipathy.

Just a few days ago, Redditor u/turrxxr decided to find out what helps us to relate to one another and asked the following question: "What is a thing that is universally hated by all people?" And everyone immediately started sending in their answers. From traffic to wet socks, here are those that have got the most upvotes!

    Universally hated by all people? I think Trump supporters would argue otherwise.

    I don't understand how they get away with the corruption, if a normal person tried it, they will be punished or imprisoned. Politician does it, naughty boy don't do it again.

    Several decades ago I was my Congressman’s receptionist in his WDC office, so I was generally the first person to arrive at work in the morning, but every few months I’d arrive to find Pete in early and going through the mail—there were usually three or four huge bundles in front of the door at the start of the day—and the first time this happened I asked why he was doing the mail he told me he wanted to see what we were keeping from him. They’re not all bad.

That's the only one that matters. I'm voting for ____ because they're so handsome." "I'll vote for anyone who promises to stick it to THOSE people. Nothing else matters." "What's a midterm?"

    In the U.S. gerrymandering (creating a Congressional District by including/excluding specific areas regardless of how it meanders through counties, towns, neighborhoods) is a huge problem and is really the only reason so many obstructionists still have a seat in the House.

    Rub a little bit of vegetable oil or butter on the remaining part and it will slowly soften the glue. Eventually the glue will be soft enough to rub off. There are stronger products available, but they can eat through paint. If you have no oil available, can't wait, and you have oily skin handy, even that oil will work.

    Solution: reduce heating power of microwave by 30%, double the time. Microwaves heat only about 2cm inside food, rest is a heat transfer inside, and that takes time. Most people set those on max power on all situations and think that this will solve problem. It won't.
