As a psych nurse I hate food and housing instability and the death of thirdspaces. Oh and also the prison industrial complex.

[–] Hirom@beehaw.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Everyone hate quacks.

Accounting:

Intuit products. They mislead people into thinking they are saving money by not paying an accountant or taking a class or two at the community college.

Depending on the situation, it can result in heavy fines and fees when the books or tax returns need to be corrected.

I, warehouse worker, hate OXO for slapping every warning label under the sun on their boxes. I saw a box of oven mitts labeled "fragile" along with like five other warnings. Not even a one size fits all box either, this had custom printing for the product.

Video game content creators hate reading ( especially controls ).

Edit:

There are plenty of times I'll watch someone play a game and then get confused about how to do something in it because they either don't look at the controls in settings or breeze past it or don't read what a quest entails. They just play on in a braindead like trance and get confused and angry as to why the game that gives you everything you need to know doesn't tell them something vital like a certain control they need.

This is basically why I can't watch any "variety" streamers. They are, without exception, absolutely awful at learning new games or even just understanding what's happening on screen.

You'd think that would be antithetical to having your livelihood hinge on playing a wide swathe of games, but here we are.

Steamers that focus on a specific game/genre thankfully tend to have some idea what they're doing.

I played games all my life, and it always baffled me how some streamers can master one game over several years and then be completely unusable in another. Like bruh, it is still a game, it is not THAT different. Sure, they might suck because they didn't master the mechanics yet, but struggling with basic controls for an hour? They gotta be playing it...

Throw me into a game, and if the controls make sense it will probably be second nature to me in 15 minutes for me.

[–] Redredme@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

Dude. It's time you start playing flight and/or space sims.

(15 minutes hahahahaha)

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Throw me into a game and if the controls make sense it will probably be second nature to me in 15 minutes for me.

That's how I feel with just about any platformer that don't have tank controls. Whether or not I'm good at said game is a whole different story...

Everyone hates Sales except C-suite.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

i thought you were going to say AI for the moment, that seems to be all the rage for csuites and ceos.

[–] DozensOfDonner@mander.xyz 5 points 4 hours ago

Neurophysiologist hate action potentials.

To be fair, just because you (generally, if you do cool stuff) want to sort the signals you recorded from a brain, a lot of times this messy annoying and takes up a lot of time. Saw quite some people get pretty mad about sorting spikes

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

actual work.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 8 points 5 hours ago

Microbiologists hate wild microbes everywhere

More like a love and hate relationship. I normally turn off my work computer and turn on my gaming one. Most of my time I am using one. Or a pocket computer some call it smartphone.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I have nothing against computers, as long as people aren't allowed to touch them

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 10 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I saw a "update" button pop up on my screen. The IT guy ran over, shouted "WTF I turned that off! Fucking bullshit!" And he stormed off.

I think about that a lot.

I too have configured a wsus server, that was about the experience I had.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Well, they may distrust or dislike them, but I reckon the hate goes towards printers - especially label printers

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago

Oh that's the burning vitriol for all things of the infernal depths yes

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Even worse: network based label printers. Fuck them.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, sure. I don't think I've ever directly attached them...

And why do the labs need a custom label size and layout, always?! I'm sure they're just trying to be difficult

every time i pick a different direction in my career, Donald Trump personally brings about that industry's ruin

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 21 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Have you considered a job in the military-industrial complex, or maybe at a hedge fund?

Paramedics hate methamphetamine. And alcohol. And high voltage electrical current.

But we love people who injure themselves creatively.
