Why does everyone hate carneys?

Answer 1

I don't know anyone who hates them. They have to make a living like everyone else.

Answer 2

What's with the carney obsession?
Okay, people hate carneys because most people have that wanderlust.. they want to not have to be tied down.. much like carneys! However, most of us realise we must take responsibilities for children, property, pets, etc.. so we can't just run off and join the circus (or in this case, the carnival)!

Answer 3

I don't think we hate carneys. We admire them, from a distance, kind of like a car wreck. We admire them by the way they look at us with their greasy mullets and no teeth while chewing tobacco over the little square mirrors in cheap cardboard with pics of Guns-n-Roses on them as we throw a worn out dull dart at balloons that are barely blown up andd we watch them bounce off a friggin' balloon.

Sorry about that. We do hate carneys.

Answer 4

Historically, carneys have been drifters and grifters. Nowadays, they're probably just working people like everyone else. I doubt most people can work up enough energy to hate them. There are enough other people out there who deserve your hate. Although, when you get right down to it, hate is a destructive emotion, so it tends to hurt the hater more than the person hated.

Answer 5

Getting people to give up their money for a 15 cent toy or 2 minute rides or bad food is the reason. Imagine how people would feel if you paid $20 at the gas pump and they only gave you 1 gallon of gas,or better yet, paid life insurance for 20 years only to be told the $10000.00 you expected was reduced to $500 because of administrative costs. If you get ripped off often enough by the same group of people, how can you possibly like them?

Answer 6

I think it has something to do with spending $50 tossing softballs into a woven basket so a guy with no teeth can give you a defective Sponge Bob knockoff made for 50 cents by a 5 year old in China.

Answer 7

It's "carnies" and as a carnie, I feel qualified to answer this question. You see, I'm a midget and when I turned ten I knew I wanted to do backflips for money. I'm very aerodynamic, so it really made sense. I joined a touring carnival and since then, I've learned how to walk the tight-rope and make corndogs. So, to answer your question, no one hates carnies, they're just jealous! I mean, who doesn't want to do backflips and make corndogs and get paid for it!?

Answer 8

Just the thought of free spirits who travel around having love children and sowing their seeds constantly.

It freaks people out.

Answer 9

because they smell like cabbage and some have small hands like the guy on scary movie

Answer 10

They have small hands and smell like cabbage.
