I cant quantify it. Occasionally, I mutter the words, "I hate people".... usually before I've had coffee in the morning...
I think it has something to do with Sartre's idea that "Hell is other People"..
Whenever I am alone, everything in the world exists for me.. As soon as someone else enters the picture, there is conflict because my ownership is put in question..
Just let it go Man. You can't take it with you.

and how bad can a physics teacher be?
I've had a lot of bad teachers, but she was far away the worst.
I've called her Red Dragon, due to her red-dyed hair. She was short, ugly, and wore glasses thick as a brick. SHe looked very old and when she's said "I know You think I'm old... But I'm only 35yo" was a sensation in entire school.
Yet, that didn't stop her from attempting to be sexually attractive to students. I'd have to show it, but, well, she used to move her breast up and to the middle. She used to, kind of, lay on something, puting her breast on it - a table, for example. I actually felt a bit molested by her, especially that she's my neighbour. I was reknown for being late, but not on her subjects. That didn't stop her from complaining about me, and she told me she could pick me up to school.
She was a very strict teacher. In the first year, she made an exam... Of 30+ people, something like 20+ got the lowest score, 1 or 1-6 scale. The rest got 2s, only me and a friend got 4_ or 5, don't remember. You see, I was one of the best of physics.
That also ment she always took me and placed me at the front row, so that others could not cheat. But she was blind...
Once she placed me in the first row, next to a friend, who sat nex to her. This friend of mine actually took out everything from her bag and started cheating, but she didn't notice, though she was 20cms away.
She was a bad teacher, and made a lot of mistakes ont he board. My mistake was probably that I was correcting her. One of her mistakes was that she's teaching alternative temperature scales, and told: -32 = o, and 0=32. I stood up to say it's impossible, because 1 wasn't 1 in the other scale. But she told me to sit and listen, not to disturb her. And so I did, but later, at the exam, I reapeated her mistake, because I forgot which information was right. The other parts were based on this, so I failed miserably, got 1 without doing any logical or mathemathical mistake It was clearly my mistake, but that's when it started. Perhaps she got disappointed with me. I was still source of knowledge for others, but my grades were low. She could tell me: "You got the result right, but not the way I wanted it", and give me 0 points (I used mathemathical way of solving something, instead of longer way through some physical stuff). She was demanding from me much more than from the others. Like we were supposed to tell what happens, when some force in specific situations acts like this and this. So I did that, but she did not give me any points, because she told me she wanted me also to write WHY when this force acts like this, the objects starts rotating or whatever. Fine, but why only I was supposed to know it? Once I claimed she made a mistake counting my points at an exam. Instead of recounting it, she took it, and only admited her mistake when it was too late to change my final score - just when the final exam exam started, so I doubt it was not intentional (with a better score, I could take additional exam to have a better ending score, so she only gave me a better grade when I could not write that exam and have better grade anymore). There were dozens of situations like this. But perhaps she just didn't want to admit she was not right. She hated it, and always needed a long time to do it.
At the end, I've had 3,5 average. According to the school rules, she HAD to exam my knowledge. But, of 31 people, I actually was the ONLY ONE not to be examined by her - though I kept asking for it, and she promessed it. She simply lowered my grade to 3, which was against school rules as well.
It's not as if I was the only one to have problems with her. Every class, but the one she took care of, had.
But even other teachers could not persuade her to change her behaviour. Her lessons, and especially being examined by her, was something feared by everyone. She was the most feared and hated teacher of all.
She hated my entire class. We were the class with humanist profile, so she kept saying we're not humanist at all, and are hopeless. She was not very consistent at that. It was about like this: at one exam, she complained we're writing too much, and we should only write what we're asked for - and she was lowering the grades because of that.
Next exam, she complained that we're writing too little, and we should not only write what we're asked about, but all that we know.
The next exam, she complained we're writing too much...
etc.
I really can not show how horrible she was. I used to have a lot of quarrels with teachers about grades... and a lot of teachers were of poor quality. But she was exceptional. She hated her pupils, and she couldn't even do the exercises right.

I know it may look silly. But really, if there are two options, and she punished us both for taking A and for taking B, while demanding both, it was pretty annoying.

Hate is stupid. It does nothing to hurt the person. It only hurts yourself. At the current moment I'm glad to say that I hate no one.
I agree with KId here. It is a waste of time to hate any one, why waste good energy on someone that your not supposed to have any feelings for? I mean not to get all philosphocial or anything, but i am not gonna waste my time on people that have no feelings for their surrounds or people around them, i have better things to do with my time. Because when you look at the whole picture do you really think the hated person cares if you hate them?, are they gonna stop being who they are? My guess is no.
