People Reveal What Minor Inconvenient Curse They'd Put On Their Enemies
Pettiness is an art form, and some of us are beautifully skilled artists. If you've ever found yourself daydreaming about ways to just really, really annoy someone you don't like while not actually causing them any harm - you're probably a Picasso of petty. You're not alone. One Reddit user asked:
What small curse would you put on your worst enemy to mildly inconvenience them, but eventually drive them insane?
Honestly, we hope we never get on any of these people's bad sides ... or that they never have the power to actually curse anyone, because WOW. Also, we're a little concerned with how satisfying we found that whole mouse-click curse. So good. Such revenge.
No Green
I would curse them to never hit a green light, and to make it worse they could see the green light and never, ever get to it in time.
What Is Time?
Every clock shows them the time they think it is, rather than the time it actually is. The idea of living with this gets worse the longer you think about this. You'd have to have other people tell you the current time in order to calibrate yourself constantly.
That Unscratchable Itch
That their butthole itches every time they're in public. You think you can just ignore the itch and it will go away. You clench your cheeks to try and satiate the itch, but nothing relieves it. You scratch your anus and people look at you with disgust.
A Little Mouse-take
The time between their mouse cursor stopping and their click, their cursor jumps 1/2" in a random direction on any device they're operating.
False Alarm
They must "false-alarm sneeze" 7 times a day at random intervals.
Cotton Eyed Joe
Cotton Eyed Joe will play wherever they go, on any radio or speaker.
"Cotton Eyed Joe plays wherever they go,
On any speaker or radio,
Wherever they come from, wherever they go,
All they'll hear is Cotton Eyed Joe."
Popcorn
Every time they eat popcorn a kernel bit gets stuck between their tooth and their gums in a really hard to reach spot.
Right Shoe Lace
No matter how often, no matter the material they were made out of, no matter how well or double or triple tied they were, use of glue or any mechanical restraint, their right shoelace will always - within 30-90 minutes - come untied.
Third Time's A Charm
Every little thing they do that they have a 50/50 chance of getting right first try (such as plugging in a USB, putting a key into a lock in the dark, putting in L/R earbuds, etc.) they would get wrong their first try. And the second try. And the third time would be right, even though they'd already tried that way the first time.
Bells
Every time he opens his mouth to speak, he hears the sound of loud clanging bells. Only he can hear it, so he is always talking really loud and shouting over the "sound" of the bells. People start to avoid him because he is always weirdly screaming at others, he loses his job because he has zero communication skills anymore and he eventually goes nuts because he can't cope with the fact that no one else can hear them.

U/lit3rallyuseless asked: What doesn't deserve the hate it gets?
Film and media are probably the biggest contender for being hated on randomly. It may seem harmless, but not always deserved.
Actors are people too!
Actors who played characters that people didn't like.
Really if you hated the character then the actor did a good job (assuming that was the role).
The best cartoons.
nice day summer GIF by PBS KIDSGiphyChild cartoons. Some are actually really good, even as an adult.
I feel like watching cartoons aimed at generally a younger audience allows for you to be reminded of some life lessons, I know I forget some things, or didn't realise others, or it at least partially renews my awareness of something I should still like or appreciate
This doesn't deserve awards, it's just my opinion that is apparently shared by many.
This man did nothing wrong.
Guy Fieri, he literally is the nicest person in the world but since he looks like he was electrocuted by mountain dew people want to saw his head off.
Even before that, I was witness to his other charitable work. A few years back, Santa Rosa was hit by some terrible fires and he showed up at a few shelters and personally cooked up and served some killer buffet food. No cameras, no massive team of PR, just a dude with an assistant to keep him on schedule to hit up other shelters in the area. Guy Fieri legit earned a lot of respect in my book for that.
You know who DEFINITELY doesn’t deserve hate? Animals. They’re just living their best lives, and need to be left alone.
The best cats.
Black cats.
We got a black cat for the first time last year. I've since formulated the theory that black cats might get some of their reputation from the fact that people can't see them well in the dark and so they seemingly appear out of nowhere and they might be instinctually cautious because they know people have a tendency to kick them while walking in the dark. Our black cat is the sweetest cat I've ever known.
They get a bad rep.
Discovery Sharks GIF by Shark WeekGiphySharks. They are beautiful, complex creatures, deserving of respect and, like any wild animal should be left alone in their natural habitat, but they get this reputation as vicious bloodthirsty monsters. This is only because every shark attack is news, and only then because they are so rare. More people are killed EVERY DAY by mosquitoes than sharks kill in a year.
Any apex predator that has remained evolutionarily unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, whose existance predates TREES, is deserving or our respect and admiration. Shine on, you crazy cartlaginous fish, shine on.
So cute too!
Opossums. They're neat little critters. They eat tons of ticks that carry Lyme disease, (mostly) don't carry rabies because their body temp is too low, and they're the only marsupial native to North America! They get a bad rap because their first defense is to hiss and bare teeth, but failing that, they just play dead.
If you don't have the predisposition to hate them, you'll find they're pretty cute too.
E: this is about /opossums/, the north American species.
Kiwis, I feel for you, but this comment isn't about your possums.
Hating on other people for just living their lives also seems to be a big contender for things that don’t deserve to be hated on.
This is so true.
Unemployed people. A lot of people genuinely are looking for work and did not want to lose their last job/it was beyond their control (like a layoff) but they get so much hate and called lazy by most people. I know too many unemployed people that are actually really trying hard. They definitely aren't lazy. (Not saying lazy unemployed people don't exist, but to be fair, so do lazy employed people too lol)
Leave the weather man alone!
Fox Raining GIF by Family GuyGiphyMeteorologists. They try their best to predict the weather based on patterns, models, and data. They're not perfect because predicting the weather is insanely difficult. When they get it wrong, I think we should go easy on them. It was probably an outlier result almost no one could have foreseen.
I've seen people get angry over the meteorologists for getting it right. Like they control the weather - it is their fault we are having rain, that kind of BS. Never made sense to me, but hey, I have plenty of relatives I clashed with growing up.
Please stop being d*cks to these people.
Customer service associates.
I hate when customers think that I, the minimum wage person forced to sit there and listen to them yell, am personally responsible for every policy they disagree with. Like, ma'am, if I had that much power and influence, I wouldn't be sitting here on a Saturday evening serving you.
Wholesome and necessary.
People don't deserve hate they give themselves when they are not doing too good at the moment.
I'm in a weird place and I didn't know I needed to read this. Thanks buddy.
If you haven't heard it from anyone else today, I'm proud of you.
It seems like people hate on things simply because they think they're meant to hate them. But you can always be the change and make an effort to stop being an a**hole about certain things.
No matter what though, sometimes haters gonna hate
