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!

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.

Or you wake up and your head is stuck turned. It takes effort and pain to turn it straight and as soon as you stop trying, it snaps back to the side.

Mmm no, because i can tell them with the most condescending grin: I'm already doing it, thank you very much. What i hate is when someone asks you to do something and you were just ABOUT to do it, so now it looks like you're doing it because you've been told so.

Or what I call one of those 'Comedy or Error' moments. Like you drop something and when you bend over to pick it up and something falls out of your pocket and starts to roll away. You finally track that down and bang your head on the way back up knocking something over... It's as if God is pointing a finger at you and saying, "Hold my beer and watch this."
