There are some cheeses that smell like sweaty feet---because it's the same kind of bacteria/fungus/microbe/whatever that helps ferment the cheese.

Maybe not hate, but get irritated when people ask repeated and/or insignificant questions about something after you just told them everything you know

I hate these:
Why, you ask?
Because someone in city government decided to place dozens of these around town on busy streets with crosswalks. I know it sounds like a "good deed," but they are causing havoc. People see the "stop" part of the sign and decide to stop regardless of whether anyone is trying to cross the street. If no one is trying to cross the street, you're supposed to keep going!! One street near where I live (which has restaurants and businesses on it) placed one of these at each crosswalk in the middle of the street (six in a row), and it is now such a nightmare of slamming brakes, near-misses and frayed nerves that I don't even take that street any more. The tourists are already clueless in normal traffic flow, but this is pushing it over the top.

This is kind of long, but I do eventually get to my point.
So I went to lunch today at a Chinese restaurant near one of the local high schools. Among the usual crowd were about two dozen, overdressed high-schoolers. The young ladies were all in black dresses; the young men in white shirts and dress pants. I saw very few parents (or what seemed to be their parents) hanging around with them---it was just the teens, so I knew it was not a graduation crowd. Graduations are happening at the local high schools, but I think this was likely the aftermath of their Senior Awards, since Graduation is usually in the afternoon/evening.
I would label Senior Week (all the various events leading up to Graduation) as one of the happiest weeks of a young person's life. One can't help but smile when seeing these graduating seniors in all their fancy clothes. But I was increasingly horrified as I watch three full tables of graduates (maybe 28 kids) all sitting with their friends----with their faces buried in their phones. For many of these kids, this will be the last time their friend-groups will be intact. Summer jobs followed by college will send these friends to the four corners of the state or even further. Instead of enjoying one another's company as long as possible by enjoying a meal together, they're all tuning everyone out, playing with their phones on their own little worlds. I wanted to walk up and slap the phones out of their hands, then lecture them about not allowing the best times of your life to pass you by as you tap away on a stupid little phone. They will look back and wish these good times with friends had lasted longer. I doubt anyone will look back and wish they'd had more time to play with their phones.

For me, the former would include Christofascist theocracy (He exists, and people should have the right to worship Him or not, but to mandate Christianity [especially a strict, authoritarian hardline version of it] as the state religion would be something I would sincerely oppose).
The latter would be the right for school children to be free in their schools to not have to worry about possibly being victims of sudden school shootings (unfortunately, quite a few on the right would seem to oppose that, because they seem to want guns, guns, guns and more guns).

running into someone you haven't seen for at least 20 years and not realizing it's them and you were friends with them growing up! case in point i ran into a guy i've known shit since i was like in the 4th f... grade and i look at him and it's one of those things where you are wondering is that him? and than you think naw he looks too different and it did end up being him cause he's goes are you...? i said yeah do you remember? yeah i remember my hair is longer and he had never seen me with long hair i grow it long and when it gets long enough i donate it. really the only reason that it's long now isn't cause of that my aunt never came out to cut it cause she normally cuts it and i really haven't seen her lately
