A compilation of things I just plain don't like.

  • Prenuptial agreements.
  • Televangelists.
  • The MASH theme song.
  • Hypochondriacs.
  • Long, natural fingernails.
  • Ventriloquist dummies.
  • Fluorescent lighting. Makes everything look stark and sterile and makes your skin look terrible.
  • The suburbs.
  • The kids on "My Super Sweet Sixteen". Or any 16 year old who gets a party that costs more than most people's yearly salaries and then complains about it.
  • Slow walkers.
  • Small talk. I'd rather not say anything at all.
  • Germophobes. Some bacteria is good and we're losing immunity to basic sicknesses because we're killing it all.
  • The following words: panties, coupon, moist, ointment, unitard, and discharge.
  • Child beauty pageants. A 5 year old girl should not know how to act sexy, flirt or wear fake teeth.
  • Beauty pageants in general.
  • Any food with the consistency or appearance akin to that of pudding or mayonnaise, including pudding and mayonnaise...and jello.
  • In keeping with the food: Peas and green beans.
  • Shaving. Someday I will save up for laser hair removal. Or stop giving in to society's bullshit standards of beauty for women.
  • The taste and smell of beer. Especially warm beer.
  • Robots. And thoughts of them taking over the world.
  • Hangnails.
  • Temperature extremes. Too hot, too cold, no thank you.
  • Frat boys.
  • Sorority chicks.
  • Politics. And political parties.
    • The dominating two-party system in the U.S.
  • Propaganda.
  • Religious extremists.
  • Chalkboards. And chalk. The sound, the feel, everything makes me cringe.
  • Drive-thrus. I don't know what it is but I've always had a strange aversion to them. I avoid them at all costs.
  • Forgetting what I was going to say.
  • Jealousy.
  • Collagen-injected lips. Or overdone plastic surgery procedures, in general.
  • Having my picture taken.
  • This age of instant gratification. No one has patience anymore.
  • The bank, writing checks, paying bills, basically anything that has to do with money.
  • Trying on clothes.
  • Having to have so many passwords for everything. Our lives are contained in passwords these days.
  • Clingy people.
  • People pronouncing 'mature' as muh-too-er instead of muh-cher.
  • People wearing sunglasses indoors.
  • People having extremely loud cell phone conversations in public places.
  • When my foot falls asleep.
  • Ratty flip-flops. And flip-flops, period, on males.
  • Screaming/overly-giggly pre-pubescent girls.
  • Skin breakouts.
  • Misshapen bras. Due to time spent in the washing machine/dryer.
  • Being rushed.
  • Men whistling, honking at, cat-calling, ogling, etc. women.
  • Being underestimated.
  • Proactiv commercials. Those people have never had true acne a day in their lives.
  • Weak handshakes.
  • People who refer to themselves in the third person.
  • Hearing a recording of my voice. Or seeing myself on video. It's just always disconcerting because it's never how I see or hear myself.
  • How the name of a century doesn't correspond with the actual year's number. For example, the 18th century is the 1700's, the 19th century is the 1800's. etc.
  • Breathing water through your nose accidentally.
  • Sticker residue.
  • When something I've liked for a long time becomes overexposed and trendy. I guess this is cliche, but it's so true, isn't it?
  • Car sickness. Or motion sickness, in general.
  • Middle-aged men who drive tiny convertibles.
  • Obnoxious, overt displays of wealth. "Bling bling".
  • Razor burn.
  • Peeing in a cup. It's about time someone invented something to make this easier and less messy for women.
  • Artificial intelligence. See 'Robots'.
  • Verne Troyer a.k.a Mini-me.
  • Drinking right next to someone else at a water fountain. Maybe it's just me but I always feel awkward.
  • People who don't believe in evolution. It's a never ending process that you can see happening in nature as we speak. There's no denying it. It just usually doesn't fit with outdated religious doctrines and the overly religious are usually the ones against it.
  • The expression, "It is what it is."
  • Stubbing my toe.
  • Tongue piercings.
  • Waiting rooms.
  • Swingers/"Open" relationships.
  • Humidity.
  • Being put on speaker phone.
  • People who say they "hate kids". Everyone was one once. And I just think it must take a really cold-hearted person to dislike something so innocent.
  • Teachers who force participation. I grew up with severe social anxiety problems and going to class with teachers like this was the equivalent of hell.
  • People who use dogs as fashion accessories.
  • Economics.
  • Internet celebrities/internet drama.
  • Celebrity obsession, in general. I can't get enthralled with someone whom I A) Don't know. and B) is just doing their job as an entertainer.
  • When people say "love you" instead of "I love you" to their significant others/family members. That extra "I" means more to me.
  • Westboro Baptist Church. And all their ludicrous protests and "God Hates Fags" signs.
  • This whole "FML" phenomenon. And how people use it when the most minor of things happen to them.
  • Bad graffiti. Scrawling your cryptic tag name in fat sharpie marker on someones freshly painted wall or scribbling a huge penis on children's playground equipment is just ugly and not cool.
  • Philosophy.
  • Sex jokes.
  • Dirty dishes left in the sink.
  • Ingrown hairs.
  • When there's litter in the vicinity of a trash can. Litter, in general.
  • When people call me naive because I'm often idealistic.
  • Fad diets..
  • Pornography.
  • Screech. From television's Saved By The Bell.
  • Getting the wind knocked out of you.
  • Rush hour.
  • When you take off your pants/jeans and your socks accidentally come off too.
  • Cops who abuse their power.
  • This growing trend against monogamy/commitment. Technology gives us more and easier access to other people and this, in turn, causes people to become bored with one another quickly, always looking for "something new".
  • Man-purses.
  • College textbook prices. The price of college in general. It's difficult to get a high-paying job without college but they make it damn near impossible for someone who isn't from a wealthy background to get in to college. Go figure.
  • How even the most crude, disgusting, moronic, awful men still think they deserve a woman who is society's "perfect 10" and put down women who don't meet their inane standards.
  • People who call ear phones, "ear buds". It just sounds gross to me.
  • When people decide they don't want something in a store and just leave it in a random place instead of putting it back where it belongs. As a former retail employee at Target, I can tell you that I LOVED finding a pack of crayons among the frozen foods...
  • When you're in a crowded parking lot and you think you've found a parking spot only to realize it's just a tiny car.
  • Leaving people alone in my house/room. It makes me paranoid. I hate the thought of someone going through my things.
  • Watching sex scenes in movies with someone else. I'm fine watching them on my own, but watching them in the company of others makes me uncomfortable.
  • Coiling up a garden hose. Also, when you get kinks in a hose and it impedes the water flow. Ugh, I guess I just hate hoses.
  • Tangled jewelry chains.
  • People who say they "love" Harry Potter and/or Lord of the Rings but have only seen the films. Ugh, call it snobbish but this really gets me. You are missing out on SO much! read, Read, READ!
  • When people are unnecessarily rude/mean and excuse their behavior as just "being real".
  • When people use the handicap motorized carts at the grocery store simply because they're overweight.
  • When you tear off a sheet of plastic wrap and it sticks to itself. This goes for duct tape as well.
  • Straight-to-DVD movies.
  • Women who dumb themselves down for men.
  • Shape-Ups. And any other shoe that claims to help you lose weight and tone your muscles simply by wearing them.
  • Toe-socks.
  • Pet stores.
  • Columbus Day.
  • Hair extensions.
  • "Git R Dun".
  • When your bathing suit bottom gets so worn it develops those fuzzy pill balls.
  • The term "God-fearing".
  • "Sexting".
  • Urban sprawl.
  • "End of the world" theories.
  • The goldfish in nail salons.
  • Auto-tune.
  • Anonymous/Cyber bullying.
  • Guidos. And how overly-tanned and hair-gelled booze hounds from New Jersey call themselves "Italian" or think they represent real Italian culture in any way.
  • When people get covered in tattoos as soon as they turn 18. I love tattoos and the art of tattooing but when you go out and get tattoos on your neck and hands as soon as you're of age, it's just foolish. You are still a kid, you have no idea what you're going to do with your life.
  • Hummers. And any other obnoxiously and unnecessarily large automobiles.
  • Courtney Stodden.
  • Jar Jar Binks.
  • Being uncomfortably full.
  • Individually wrapped slices of cheese.
  • The phrase, "No homo".
  • The Real Housewives of "Insert county/state/region here".
  • Shirley Temple.
  • The term, "baby bump".
  • "Real women...do this, drive this, eat this, wear this, etc., etc., etc." Any slogan, bumper sticker, meme, what have you, that asserts that if you adhere to this certain thing that you are somehow more of a woman than any other
  • The stigma against pit-bulls. And other bully breed dogs. My sister has a pit-bull, my mom has a pit-bull. I work in an animal shelter with many, many pit-bulls and they are WONDERFUL dogs no more prone to aggression than any other dog.
  • Engagement photos.
  • Donald Trump.
