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!

Cancer
A dear friend of mine just passed from the very thing. F**k you cancer, RIP Rhoni 😞
That moment when something's stuck in between your teeth and your tongue can locate it just fine, but your fingers or a toothpick can't...
Those ads that autoplay on the side of webpages, especially when they automatically have sound
The two ads on YouTube that are long enough to be annoying, but aren’t long enough to be skipped.

Being told “We need to talk later”
Why did you give me the notification? Now I’m gonna be riddled with anxiety until we talk. You could’ve just said nothing.
When you have that little bit of skin hanging off your finger that you end up ripping it off to your elbow
Water running down your sleeve when washing dishes, then standing on the water with socks on
Stickers that peel off easily 80% of the way, but leave behind 20% that are bonded to the surface of the object for life.
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.
COVID-19
I've got about 7.5 billion other people who'd agree with you there.
Going through Alzheimer's/dementia. Has to be one of the most sad ways to go
Getting asked to get up for something the moment you sat down.
People that drive slowly in the fast lane and then don't switch lanes when able to
Or, even worse, when people tailgate you in the middle lane as they are too dumb to realize that the carpool lane is open for everyone and that particular time and they can just go around.
When you rip a paper towel off and that little corner doesn’t come with and stays on the next paper towel.
I think we can all agree that we hate that.
Or when the loo roll ply separates, so the perforations don’t align.
The almost-sneeze.
Although the funny noises and facial expressions one makes before giving up are rather entertaining.
Job Interviews. The whole job hunting process in general.
So painful.........plus, the really elaborate applications/interviews for low paying jobs.
Having a hair in your mouth and it being impossible to locate
A Wet toilet seat.
low speed internet
Or worse: slow internet that keeps randomly dropping out. This is one of the things I hate most about living in Australia.
When you’re showering and the shower curtain moves and sticks to your body.
Going upstairs and forgetting why you went up there then suddenly remembering as soon as you've sat back down in the living room
When your device is connected to the wifi but when you open a website and it says that you have no internet connection.
When you think the hot drink has cooled enough to drink, but then you find out you were wrong, so wrong.
Cold spots in food after heating it up for four minutes.
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.
When you turn your neck a weird way and it starts hurting
Mini stones that get inside your shoes
Wearing wet socks.
I legitimately hate my entire existence if I get caught in the rain and get my shoes and socks wet.
When someone asks you to do something you are already doing.
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.
Ticks. Blood sucking little bastards, the food chain doesn't need you
Stubbing your toe/banging your shin
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."
Cockroaches
Getting hit on the ankle with a shopping cart
Monday mornings
When your fingernail gets bent back. Nothing makes me grit my teeth harder.
(clutches thumb and winces tearfully just thinking about it)
Load More Replies...When you ask what ? And the person only repeats the last 2 words. So you really thing that I heard the all sentence except the last 2 words ?
My brother does this and it takes most of my energy some days not to wring his stupid head from his shoulders >.<
