This doesn't fit in the events you hate category, but I just had the funniest one. Everybody got hay fever allergies, and just stood around sneezing for a minute.

I don't know if your including the gong. But I hate the one that takes life. I lost a lovely girl villager, she was only 18yrs old. She died while I was trying to take her to the health stew. I always make one before I do the gong. But events, I hate the drinks one exept the orange, which gives them skills.

A lot depends on the time when an event arrives, and what choice you make. For instance, if your villagers are just about living hand to mouth, the arrival of a couple of more mouths to feed might tip them over the edge into starvation, even though events like "Old Friends" and the "Barrel o' Babies" are generally considered "good" events. Similarly, If you've got a big tribe (90 or so) late on in the game pretty well any event won't affect them very much. Even if all their food is wiped out they'll normally collect a couple of thousand in a few minutes and not be at any risk. Even if all the tech points were lost, it wouldn't matter much as there's little to spend them on apart from fripperies like new clothes.  In a smaller tribe, however, such an event could be disastrous. A lot of events have two possible outcomes; one bad, one good. In a couple of the cases already mentioned the players made the "bad" choice. If they'd made the other choice they'd probably reckon that the event itself was one to like, not hate.

I can't say that I've had an event that I could say I hate... Biggles is kinda annoying, but I've wised up to that one, so it's not such a big deal.

I dislike INTENSELY any of the events that have to do with mass illness ... it takes a long time to get everyone healthy again, and for the elderly loss is a possibility. Everyone walking slow, all the coughing and hacking, .... ewwwww!!!
Upside - EVERYONE gets a shot at healing ... I make sure the doctors get well first to help out, but I drop EVERYONE healthy no matter what their skills are, on the sick ... so they all get a taste of being a healer. You never know ... might help out in the long run with future illness events. If I need to, I also make the healing stew to bolster up the health meters. But it takes time, especially if you are at full capacity in your tribe with 115 villagers!!!

I drop EVERYONE healthy no matter what their skills are, on the sick ... In fact, it doesn't matter if the villager is healthy or not. I've used sick villagers to heal other sick villagers in the past, then the healed one has returned the favour.
