D4 players: Which response u hate the most to play against? (Poll)

<Comment deleted by user>
But share the results. I wont vote because i dont play d4 on my first move, but i would like to know what they hate, to make that game miserable for them.
I play D4 and used to play E4. As an E4 player I didn't like to face the Sicilian... I would still be an E4 player if the Sicilian Defence did not exist. As a D4 player there are no opening responses to D4 that bother me. Though it's kind of annoying that a player 200 points lower rated than me can last 30 plus moves before I've attained a sizable advantage in the position... D4 is often a slower paced game... not too many early round knockouts like with E4.
I dont hate any, but the Grünfeld gives me the most problems.
But thats just because I dont have too much experience playing against it, cause somehow I only face it thrice every hundred games.
I'm bad at openings, so anything is good against me... Essentially, I don't like moves by my opponent...
Slac semi-slav all the same to me. Draw on move 2 all the same. Worse than the french it's so stupid.
