I hate it when the system is misused as well. I also hate it when people simply assume that the majority of those in the system are misusing it or are out of work simply because they're lazy/feel entitled/looking for that free check/have too high expectations/whatever.

But what I hate the most, I think, is the near-arrogantly simplistic and totally lacking in critical thinking approach of some educated and intelligent people who are all too willing to simply say unemployment is the fault of the unemployed period. Sometimes things are that simple, but all to often, they're much more complicated than that.
