What do you HAVE to do that you HATE to do?
Well?
For me, it'd be sleeping. I can't freakin' stand it - you have 75+- years on this planet and you gotta WASTE 1/3rd of it unconcious - it's a bleedin' travesty I tell you.
Instead of worrying about how to allow old men to ****, why don't doctors worry about allowing the young to avoid sleep? Our priorities are backwards, I tell ya!

Sleeping annoys me, too. For me, it's not as much the time wasted as the dreams. You don't have control over what kind of dreams you'll have, and they're either bad dreams which just suck, good dreams which suck when you wake up and notice you aren't having sex with a buxom blonde, and wacky dreams which are just useless. If there was some way to sleep in a way where you just go to sleep and instantaneously - but 7-8 hours later - just wake up, sign me up for that!

You guys are crazy, sleeping is great.
I hate having to cram myself onto the subway every morning to get to work. People behave like animals when you get enough of them into a small space.

Sleeping sucks. Period. ONE THIRD of your life: WASTED. Sorry for sounding like Ming in that last sentence, but dammit! ONE FRIGGIN' THIRD!!!!
It's enough to make me rend my clothing.

Yeah overcrowded places I hate too. And people who always stand directly in the way of others when there´s enough place elsewhere. For example some people always manage to stand in the doors of public buildings or shopping centers just to talk with eachother - instead of going three steps aside where it would all be easier.
While I´m normally a peaceful person in such moments I could kill

I like dreams. Always enjoy the show. The annoying part is having to wake up. Time for going up is always to early and most of the time I need about 10mins of cold water till Im more or less awake. Or you had just some great dream going on than suddenly someone calls you at noon on a damn saturday ... you say bye and try to get back to that dream, but you have even trouble getting back to sleep. Finally you give up and with 2h to low on sleep you walk around like a zombie the rest of the day...
So yeah waking up sucks.

I see no point in getting mad about it. It's not like it's something you can change. If I don't get enough sleep it makes the rest of my life suck, so I like to get lots of sleep.

I hate taking a piss in the morning. One second I'm asleep enjoying a good dream and the next second I'm in the bathroom taking a leak. This is especially true now that I have to get out of bed, get clothes on and walk down a hallway.

Fah. If I don't get enough sleep, I use caffiene and then go to work. Should be fine by 7:00am, 8:00 at the latest.

I really hate having to work. I want to be a fat lazy slob who never the less is financially independent.

Trapping mice. Both my wife and I deep in our souls love them (had them once as pets), but it can't be helped, I have to be the bad guy and kill them, since we moved to the country.

I love sleeping, but I have a great deal of control over it. If I am tired and set my mind to it, I can crash into bed, and really wake in what seems an instant.
My dreams... always love them. I'm nearly always aware of the fact that I'm dreaming, and can oftentimes control what happens. Very fun and useful.

Thanks to JohnT, first chance I get I'm gonna get a dolphin brain installed so one half can shut down while the other works and I won't ever have to sleep again.

I'd hate to work, I probably won't stop uni for decades, because I hate to get up early in the morning for others, mostly people I don't like, too. I'll always in my life try and avoid doing things I don't like to do, I'm that much of an egoist / confident enough person. Even if it means lower social status than I could otherwise achieve.
I like sleeping anyway. Bad dreams only come after a hard day and usually go away if the next day and the following night are alright. So I'll always try and just get enough sleep as well as a comfortable day, and the result will be no more bad dreams for weeks or months. Same about silly dreams.

Thanks for the hint, but it wouldn't work for 2 reasons. First, I don't like cats. Second, they bring you mice rather than to catch those in the house. Seen so in the houses of a couple of friends. They would only catch these mice, if you don't feed them. But if you feed them, they catch mice in the streets and bring them home to play with them, but not to eat them. Often the mouse escapes in the game and now it's in the house. If ever the cat catches it again, it doesn't eat it, but just kills it and leaves it dead and stinking somewhere (at the stairs, if you're lucky, behind the sofa, if unlucky). Nah, cats are no solution.

Maybe you wouldn't be so damned cranky IF YOU ACTUALLY GOT SOME DAMN SLEEP.
Who cares about the quantity of your life? It's the QUALITY that counts and the quality sucks when you don't get enough sleep.
Work on the other hand is something that SUCKS
