denotes megahate. Unable to pay money for their work. Would kick their puppies, if puppies could stand them long enough to live with them.
denotes an extreme irritation. Still unable to enjoy their work. Will grudgingly see their work, but will bitch the entire time about how much they suck.
denotes a mild annoyance, a grudge by proxy on the basis that a friend hates them, too, or I forgot why I hate them, yet the hate lives on.
