Manspreading wasn't mentioned specifically, but spreading out across multiple seats was the third top pet hate.

Having discussed this in depth with mates I soon found there would be a lot of support for a campaign to stop this moral outrage, and given my other pet hate of people complaining about things but doing nothing about it I figured hell, let's give it a crack.

Pet Hate is a British heavy metal band who released two albums in the 1980s, titled Bad Publicity and The Bride Wore Red. Pet Hate took their name from the idea of a pet peeve. The band was previously known as Silverwing and they had an album out in 1983 called Alive and Kicking. Several of the band members later formed a group called Wild Ones and in this guise they released an album in 1991 called Writing on the Wall.

The rebranded TDV-2200/9(S) terminals had keyboards customized for the ND-NOTIS text processing system. For Siemens, Tandberg build the similar MTS 2000 series. Another important customer was Mycron. It optionally used ISO 646-NO for mapping of the Norwegian characters, which made them a pet hate among UNIX people.

A pet peeve, pet aversion, or pet hate is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly irritating to them, to a greater degree than would be expected based on the experience of others. The phrase analogizes that feeling of annoyance as a pet animal that one does not wish to give up, despite its objective lack of importance.

The Jew of Linz is a 1998 book by Australian writer Kimberley Cornish, in which the author alleges that the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein had a profound effect on Adolf Hitler when they were both pupils at the Realschule (lower secondary school) in Linz, Austria, in the early 1900s. Cornish also alleges that Wittgenstein was involved in the Cambridge Five Soviet spy ring during the Second World War.Davis, Douglas. "Hitler's pet hate," Jerusalem Post, 20 April 1998.

In 1946 Alfred became sluggish and overweight before being diagnosed with thyroid deficiency. He recovered from the illness after treatment however, and later returned to his former strength.Ray Barnett, ‘The Dictator of Bristol’ in Nonesuch, the University of Bristol Magazine, Spring 1999, p40. Alfred died on 10 March 1948. The press at the time speculated that ‘his pet hate got him in the end’, linking Alfred's dislike of aeroplanes with the passage of one over the zoo shortly before his death.

The band hailed from Macclesfield and featured three ex Silverwing members Dave Roberts, Steve Roberts and Alistair Terry. After debuting The Bride Wore Red in 1984, renowned producer Eddie Leonetti was persuaded to produce the follow up Bad Publicity. Leonetti had produced albums from the American band Angel in the late 1970s, including one titled Bad Publicity whose artwork was rejected as being too controversial by the record company and the title was changed to Sinful. Pet Hate borrowed the cover idea for their own Bad Publicity.

Through their long computer gaming experience, the AP reviewers had developed a number of pet hates about video games. One of the more frequently mentioned ones, for example, was "slippy-slidey ice worlds" - levels in platform games with slippery, ice- covered floors, thus making progress haphazard. (The phrase "slippy-slidey ice worlds" was adopted by many of its sister magazines and appeared long after AP's death.) Another pet hate was the habit some game designers had of including a power-up that reversed the player's controls. To address these, AP began a regular feature called Kangaroo Court, which presents the so-called gameplay "crime", followed by the "case for the prosecution", which is a section illustrating why the crime is a bad thing.

The theme of the Prologue is repeated in the main action, Anne and Blanche being the daughters of the abandoned women and her dearest friend. Apart from the marriage laws of Scotland, discussed above, Collins attacks the legal disadvantages of married women – also a mainspring of the plot of The Woman in White – and the cult of athleticism. In the novel he describes the practice of competitive athletics as dangerous to the athlete's health, and as productive of anti- intellectualism and brutality. Page points out that the last of these is not cognate with the other two, both of which were widely recognised as scandalous and were soon rectified by changes to the law, whereas athleticism and athletes appear to have been a pet hate of the diminutive and un-athletic Collins.

Dunning writes that "Cooper's pet hate was of 'acting' and he wanted [each story] related with a deadpan sense of 'here's how it happened.'" Chappell usually took a conversational tone, relating the stories slowly and casually; he frequently played a specialist worker, giving Cooper a chance to add background details from his own earlier jobs as a soldier, gandy dancer or oil platform worker. Though supporting players were sparse, a group of New York radio veterans were heard on a frequent basis: as female characters, in male bit parts, or as the supernatural or otherworldly beings the ordinary Chappell character encounters. Most notably, radio star Claudia Morgan (longtime voice of Nora Charles on The Adventures of the Thin Man, and not coincidentally, Ernest Chappell's wife) was an occasional female lead, usually in tragic romances, and was heard in the final show (the appropriately titled "Quiet, Please," a meditation on war and peace).

A tram on Flinders Street, with the East Shard and the ACMI building in the background. In 2009, Virtual Tourist awarded Federation Square with the title of the 'World's Fifth-Ugliest Building'. Criticisms of it ranged from its damage to the heritage vista to its similarity to a bombed-out war-time bunker due to its "army camouflage" colours. A judge from Virtual Tourist justified Federation Square's ranking on the ugly list claiming that: "Frenzied and overly complicated, the chaotic feel of the complex is made worse by a web of unsightly wires from which overhead lights dangle." It continues to be a "pet hate" of Melburnians and was recently discussed on ABC's Art Nation Art Nation - Good Bad or Ugly - Federation Square, 20 May 2011 After its opening on 26 October 2002, Federation Square remained controversial among Melburnians due to its unpopular architecture, but also because of its successive cost blowouts and construction delays (as its name suggests, it was to have opened in time for the centenary of Australian Federation on 1 January 2001).
