Remember, friends don't let friends use Comic Sans (Fonts you can't stand)

I'm surprised no one brought up Copperplate Gothic, as it's one I can't stand. It's probably the most overused serifed font for logos and packaging, and if you were to look around your house right now, there's a good chance you'll find at least 3 things with Copperplate on it, since it's everywhere.

Comic Sans, Bank Gothic, and Agency FB are up there in my dislikes as well, but I'd put them 2 or 3 levels below my hate for Copperplate.
 
I only don't like fonts that are heavily unreadable. That's why I tend to stick to easy-to-read ones when I'm customizing the text design on my profile or my signature here.
 
All this hate on Papyrus and Comic Sans and not one Undertale fan shows up?

I don't think I hate any fonts, although I am getting a growing dislike of Times New Roman size-12.
 
I think people who hate certain fonts are a little silly honestly. I really actually see nothing wrong with Comic Sans, the hate for it seems to stem from many situations where it was used inappropriately. Unless the font is so atrocious that it's unreadable, I don't really mind. You do you! Use your custom fonts.

Besides the situations where it was used inappropriately, Comic Sans is objectively a bad font. It was originally designed for the dialogue text for Rover from Microsoft Bob. Tl;dr, it was meant to look like the chickenscratch writing of a cartoon dog. So unless you're using it specifically for something to look poorly handwritten, there is always an objectively better font to use.

I really hate Times new Roman since I've seen it used way too much and entire pages filled with it. I also really hate Papyrus since I haven't been able to find a use for it yet after all these years.
 
I love Comic Sans. When it is used appropriately. I do not agree with people who find the font 'annoying', I find that all reasons for dislike of the font itself are not normally valid. Seriously if you don't like it; you can delete it from your fonts directory or choose not to use it. No one will bat an eye, as all of the reasons people hate on Comic Sans for are completely valid reasons for choosing not to use the font.

Finger Paint, Gloria Halleluja and Shadows into Light are all neat examples of handwritten feel type fonts that I think are great. Again I must hammer into your brain the importance of how wonderful these fonts are when used appropriately.

I won't go into details about the fonts I dislike; those are personal preferences which do shift with the technology I am viewing them with. No font is truly ugly if it is used appropriately.
