As we all know its impossible to like everything and what better stories do you get from people who hate certain things than people who hate certain animals? The weirder the better and make sure you explain why you hate them.
Allow me to start.
The creature I hate the most is the bream. After years of fishing you'd think I'd like everything that comes out of the lakes and rivers of England but no. When you hook one it fights like any other fish, sending your line screaming off into the distance but the second you go to pick it up, perfect silence. You think you missed it and as you slowly and sadly reel in your line you feel the tiniest bit of resistance.
Seeing the head of this creature popping up from the water is a sight I've grown to hate, my uncle who has taken me fishing all my life refuses to have any involvement in the beasts capture because they just produce so much slime.
Within minutes the bank of a river turns into a slip and slide with the smelly juices of this tiny fish. Trying to unhook it is like trying to grab a bar of soap in the shower, when you're done you better hope you weren't wearing anything nice because you will be covered in slime, it can be the smallest bream in the world but it will still have the power to drown a baby in its slime and make you feel like a right mug.

Wasps. They're just THE WORST. At least bees are useful pollinators and will generally leave you alone because stinging you will kill them too, but wasps are just nasty, malicious little assholes.

I was once just chilling by a lake with a bottle of cider and one flew into there and then I got stung inside the mouth. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I've also had one get caught in my hair while just minding my own business walking along and got stung on the neck a bunch.

Screw wasps. I hate them.

Right now? Box Elder beetles. They're perfectly harmless, if a bit stinky, but it's their breeding season right now, and there are THOUSANDS of them out at the winery I work at. (Thank god there aren't any of them at my house.)

I'm not squicked out by bugs, and these things can't bite or sting, they aren't toxic, they're just ANNOYING.

Mosquitos.
They are such a pest and you also run the risk of getting a virus if they bite you. It is also frustrating when you take the effort to not have standing water but your nextdoor neighbor doesn't do the same, so you end up with them all over your backyard. I try to avoid killing spiders because they can help cut down on the mosquito population.

Mosquitoes too, I'm allergic and legit there was this time I collected 20 bites in a single day. I'm sure bigger bugs and amphibians can find a better food source that isn't magnetically attracted to my blood?

I despise reptiles. I can't stand the sight of them. Yes all reptiles (Except Turtles, I can handle turtles)

But the worst among the bunch to me is the Komodo Dragon. There is something about them that unnerves me to my very core. I decided long time ago never to travel anywhere they are commonplace. I tried to avoid tropical climates altogether because of my distaste of reptiles.

Whenever I think about an animal that I hate, I just remember about that thread about why Koalas are terrible animals. Not only because it is funny, but because I think koalas are just... ugly and disturbing, I rather deal with a plushie or animated version of them.
I agree 100% percent // TW: A lot of curses and insults but worthy if you don't have a soul just like me

I agree with mosquitoes, but another contender for me would be tapeworms. They scare the living daylights out of me. And just the thought of this...thing living inside your system is just–

Wasps also because I adore bees and designed our garden for bees specifically. Its incredibly chill sitting there watching them do their thing over summer. They even snooze on the flowers.


Wasps can go extinct for all I care. Although they do pollinate they are imposters who infiltrate hives. Utter little bast***s!
Gonna get flack but I hate penguins too.
This is odd because I was mauled by a dog aged 7 so you would think I would hate dogs.
Nope! PENGUINS!

I´m scared of dogs because I have been bitten by dogs several times.
Hate is a too strong word.
I dislike insects like moths and butterflys. People love butterflys, I don´t

Tough question if I have to pick just one, because I hate ticks, spiders, wasps, mosquitos and slugs a lot and almost equally.:sweat_smile:
Ticks carry deadly or life-changing diseases (if left untreated) and are hard to spot until it's too late. Plus, together with spiders, they look very disturbing. Those crooked and long legs just... shudders
I hate wasps and mosquitos for the same reasons @darthmongoose and @NickRowler mentioned.
Invasive species of slugs multiply in gazillions and they eat everything and climb everywhere and hide everywhere. They're gonna take over the world one day... :disappointed_relieved:

flies and moths

most bugs make me scream but with those two, I'll just go apeshit.
i was attacked by horseflies twice when I was a kid, Both times on the face. I also get really fucking squeamish around them cause I know then they're rubbing their little hands together they're getting fecal matter on whatever they just landed on. And people will sometimes just let that happen, then eat the food regardless. I can't, it makes me nauseous.

And when I lived with my grandmother there was a moth infestation (that my sister caused, there were maggots in her room and everything it was fucking disgusting) and moths would just be eating my clothes and even my physical art. I don't understand why people think they're cute, they're horrible evil creatures that serve no purpose.

Not going to do armchair psychology or anything, but have you looked into possible phobias per chance? :o I brought up my mother's phobia of geckos with my therapist one time and she mentioned a lot of people don't look into it even though a lot of reptile aversions are tied to other anxieties - like for example, that my mom associates geckos with some rough living conditions when she was younger so strongly, it's the same as being back there.

unless you actually had bad experiences with reptiles or just plain don't like them, then disregard my entire post :stuck_out_tongue:

Squids. Wtf are they. Like octopuses are cute. Squids? Just hellish sea abominations. Oh and there's giant ones. My friend worked at a sushi shop and she said that they don't bother her because she used to scoop out their eyes.

Leeches are really weird. Like WHYYYYYY. They suck your blood. And then there's people who put girly ribbons on them and keep them as pets.

Uhhhh let's see... I want to kill every hornet on this planet.

Cats... I originally hated (allergies), but my sister got a hypoallergenic one and now I'm obsesed with her. I got dem parasites.

I hate how Toads have babies coming out of their backs. That stuff is NASTY.

Annnnd finally while I don't hate pugs, it sucks that we made them that way. I kinda feel... sad... looking at them.

Basically anything that makes me throw-up I want nothing to do with.

@darthmongoose Btw (and this is a true story when I was like... 7). There was a wasp nest inside this lamppost and my cousin would just play around by having us look inside the nest before we just run away from the wasps. The dude was super buff so he would just grab little itty bitty me and we just ran while they came after us. I just realized the consequences of that little game lmao. It flew into your mouth, I could've gotten stung in the EYE.

But it didn't happen so... good times :v
