Default Why do people hate dandelions?

Just a wildflower like many others but its perceived pernicious nature in terms of lawns and gardens makes it demonised

When I was wee they were called "pee the beds"

When we were small we would get one and put your thumbnail under the flower and say

"Mary Queen of Scots got ha head chopped... OFF" and ping off the yellow head

Thanks Parmy

14. Dandelion seedheads always called ‘clocks’ – blow seeds off stem head to tell time, number of blows to clear all = time of day.

I love dandelions and daisies in a lawn.
Reminds me of my younger days.
Buttercups for the butler test.
Wet the beds with dandelions and blowing the clock was the best.
Aaah we were all so innocent then.
