If you hate it so much then why not try it yourself? Find a way to make it not suck. I once RPed with a great writer who would make it her mission to use every story cliche in the book and make it not only work but make it interesting, good and original. Lucius RPed with her too, he can attest to it. Even if you don't fancy yourself a fantastic writer you should try it once in a while as an excersize in your creativity. Sometimes using your most hated plot device work can be a real treat for you and whoever's reading.
