People love to complain and often they have every right to be peeved. It's tough out here!
But many things we love to hate are things we want and need, and would be upset if they disappeared.
Here are 20 such things.
1
Food Delivery Apps
Yes they’re expensive and yes the bikes get in the way, but having an instant meal at your fingertips is priceless.
2
Work
Everyone hates their job, but most people really want to keep it.
3
Social Media
For all its toxicity, damage to society, and uses for harm, you know you love to scroll through that feed.
4
Amazon
Even when your package gets delayed, lost, or stolen, it’s still more convenient than other ways of buying.
5
Flying
Yes, air travel is more cumbersome than it’s ever been. But do you want ticket prices to go back to what they used to be?
6
Reality TV
Is it stupid mindless junk? Yes it is, but try walking past a TV without stopping and watching.
7
Spellcheck
Spellcheck might make the occasional error, but try turning it off and you’ll see how valuable it is.
8
Streaming Services
Everyone yearns for the days of cable TV or DVD stores, but those would involve leaving the bed.

Dating Apps (And Dating in General)
The apps are difficult to navigate, but we all rush to them anyway. The allure of the perfect match is just too strong.
10
Doctor’s Offices
There might be no worse place to hangout, but boy do we need them.

Public Transportation
My bus is so far away! But I’m glad it exists.
13
McDonald’s (And Fast Food in General)
Yes it’s unhealthy and a bit pricey these days, but you’ll be happy when you need a midnight snack.
14
The Government
Sure, the government and politicians can be slow and corrupt. But at the end of the day it’d be lawless chaos without it.
15
The News
Everyone thinks the news is biased and untrustworthy, but it’s necessary for a functioning society.
16
Customer Service
Nobody likes talking to customer service, but sometimes they’re the only ones who can help.

Police
The police have definitely earned their poor reputation, but they are necessary for a functioning society.
