Just about everyone has at least one thing they don't like, can't stand, or absolutely hate. There is no one thing that everybody hates. You know the expression, "one man's meat is another man's poison". So I may dislike a particular thing intensely only to find out that most other people just love it. I guess our dislikes stem from early childhood experiences.
Here are a few things I absolutely hate. You will agree with some but not others.
* garlic
* really hot peppers
* plastic Christmas trees
* imitation flowers
* really big spiders
* dead skunks
* guns
* flimsy wire coathangers
* video games
* 'action' films
* snow
* telephone companies
* disgusting meat products
* swastikas
* nooses
* cigarets
* alcoholic drinks
* chewing gum
* pulpits
* pews
What do you hate? Please do not list people, attitudes, behaviors, beliefs - just things.

However, GARLIC is wonderful.....lol.
Cars
Low fat ice cream
Defunct, but expensive software or hardware
I agree about dead skunks - 2 days later you can drive past them and the car still fills with fumes...
I also hate it when the tv is showing nothing but political debates, and then they talk about how much money each candidate is spending on advertising themselves...
And then thos people who always hit cancel on the microwave, but can never be bothered to reset it, so you have to come along and reset it for them. Grrrrhhhh...
Actually, I created a lens on Squidoo for this - My Pet Peeves - It's a place where you can list all the things that drive you crazy and vote on the listings. The link is http://www.squidoo.com/my_pet_peeves - I hope you will shout out about things that bother you.
Garlic – a medicinal herb
Really hot peppers – a medicinal herb
Plastic Christmas trees – not preferred but don't make a mess and last for years
Imitation flowers – same as plastic Christmas trees
Really big spiders – I love really big spiders. Get to know your neighborhood spiders! They are really cool.
Dead skunks – a minor inconvenience along the way.
Guns – in the proper hands do a proper service they are a handy tool.
Flimsy wire coat hangers – You can make cool wire art with these!
Video games – I have a hard time finding anything positive here.
'Action' films – same as video games
Snow – Snow is really cool – and not just cold. Dress warm and build a snow castle or just watch a dog enjoying the snow.
Telephone companies – well, I'm sending you all this through one of them.
Disgusting meat products – buy 100% grass-fed beef – high in omega 3 fatty acids.
Swastikas – a swastika is just a pattern – it's what it stands for that I hate
Nooses – a noose knot used in fishing is really handy.
Cigarettes – ok, no redeeming value here.
Alcoholic drinks – one or two drinks a day, no problem.
Chewing gum – I lost 20 pounds chewing gum – it keeps the mouth busy.
Pulpits – It depends on what is being said.
Pews – It depends on what I'm hearing.
the sound of fingernails on sheets (odd, but true) I am sensitive to certain textures but the combination of scratching fingernails on sheets is painful to hear. Literally.
Those are the two things that bother me the most. Childbirth bothered me but it was temporary. And worth it.
Hanging shower curtains
Winter
Winter cold
The smell that emanates from someone not changing their depends every two hours be cause they are too cheap and always were...
anchovies
sewers
cockroaches
getting sick

I can't bring myself to hate any thing. And, I hate no people. I strongly dislike many things, such as asparagus. But can't say that I hate it. Too strong an emotion to waste on inanimate things.
Many things I dislike, I haven't sufficient emotional involvement with to say I hate. I certainly dislike poverty, taxes, disease, fear, loneliness and such but still can't say I hate them.
Your list has things I don't care for but a few I definitely like or enjoy. For instance, I like hot spicy foods. I'm not really crazy about garlic. I love to hunt and to target shoot, either with guns or archery. I don't like spiders of any size! Dead skunks are no worse than live ones - I don't like either, but hate neither.
I strongly dislike being around drunks but certainly enjoy a good mixed drink once a year! Now, nooses, if your thinking of hanging someone, I don't care for them. If your preparing to rope a calf, they are very handy. Actually, they are very handing in securing many things.
I have no problem with pulpits, it's what stands behind them that causes me concern. What is it that you dislike about pews? Can't say as I have any feelings for them either way. Good to have a place to sit if you go to church I reckon. To those of us who remember WW II, the swastika will always be repulsive!
Now snow, I love it when it piles up in the mountains and supplies our streams and aquifers! If it is on the road or I have to shovel it, that comes pretty close to the hate factor for me! However, my wife hates a winter without snow, and I happen to love my wife!
Finally, just what constitutes a "disgusting meat product?"
I can agree on sheep stomachs and fish heads but you're missing out on a great delicacy if you don't like pickled pigs feet! When I was a kid and we butchered a hog, my mother fed us the brain just so we'd know what it was like. Wasn't particularly good or bad, just kind of bland.
I hate clothes that I love that don't look good on me,(and I wish that they would! LOL!) or that no longer fit..and I wish that they did!! ha ha!!
I hate hair from showering, on my hands or even hair in my foods!!! YUKKO!!
I hate scary gory movies. and or gory photos, or scary gory descriptions or things on the news that you HOPED that they would NEVER show you, but, they end up anyhow!!
spiders
alcohol
recreational type drugs (prescription drugs are okay in moderation)
cigarettes and smoking (i am trying to become a nonsmoker)
anything because there's nothing I hate. I love everyone I meet, also
I love food in general being raised on a farm you eat many things that
some people would think was disgusting. I have eaten Tripe stomach
tissue of ruminant, pickled pigs feet, lambs tongue, ruminant tongue,
the gizzard heart an dliver of the chicken just to name a few. I love all
things period!!
stuffed celery and the taste is superb Thomas.
properly washed and cooked they are tasty!
