Hate.

I try never to use it.

If I do, you know I mean it.

I feel yucky even thinking about using it toward people - that's how strong I think it is.

Hearing people say they hate other people makes me cringe.

I don't think it's warranted as often as it's used.

I mostly use it for things like mushrooms,

phones that turn off without warning,

and getting rice stuck in my permanent retainer.
