the things i hate

The other day, in response to my oral declaration of absolute hatred of pigeons, my boss suggested we someday make a list of all the things I hate. I propose I start that list now for the record.

I urge you to comment to add to the list if you think I've missed anything or to just share general disgust! :)

In no particular order we begin...

I. Living Things

RODENTS. Legitimately have a r-a-t phobia (even refuse to say/spell the word out). Let's recall 218 Hemenway or maybe not, prefer to black that out from my memory. Mice just as bad... UGHHH.

Birds... yep all of them. Don't trust them and they shit midair; I'm all set. Highest marks in this category belong to Pigeons and Seagulls.

Fish... again all of them. I don't eat them and I don't swim with them. Which creates a lot of drama because I love the ocean and body surfing. The second I feel something I'm headed for the dunes, though.

Reptiles... f**k that. Snakes and lizards, helllll no.

Bugs... including spiders, all things that fly, crawl and creep. Done deal. ONLY exception would of course be Butterflies (moths certainly do NOT count).

II. Food

Fish, we've went over this.
Mushrooms, texture.
Mayonnaise, all set with fat lard spread.
Mustard, ew.
Heavy Indian Curry, that smell reaps through your skin!
Milk that's not skim, hurts my stomach.
Horseradish, not much of a condiments gal.
Worcestershire sauce, see above.
Grapefruit, tastes like bitter acid to me.
There has to be more...

III. General

Grammatical errors... I'm not perfect but honestly you should know the difference between their, there and they're.
Silverspoon fed people drive me nuts.
Winter Street, Boston - it encompasses nearly all the things I hate in one stretch of street.
Being broke, though I think everyone hates this.
Creeps... they're everywhere.

Okay well let's have some fun (this beat is sick) and why don't you take a stab at contributing to my list and/or share your own!

I think that compiling this list was a very good idea. I don't know if blogging is quite the same as getting it down on paper but I believe it may have similarly therapeutic effects. One thing I can't stand is when people don't get out of the way of emergency vehicles. Ambulances should be fitted with snowploughs year-round to deal with these situations.
