My friend has this running list of things she hates, and they are so funny! I'm not as funny as she but I do have some things that I've noticed over time that I really, really can't stand. Yes, I would say I hate these things...

1- fresh cat poop in the box. I'm new to cats and WOW, that is the ONLY sucky thing about living with a cat. I'm choking just thinking of it.

2- when I'm driving and someone pulls out in front of me when they didn't really have a safe distance to do so, AND THEN DRIVE 5 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. Look, if you want to be an aggressive driver, sweet I'm all about it- I'm an aggressive driver. But don't be a passive aggressive driver, if you're gonna do it DO IT!

3- people that think that smoking marijuana is somehow worse than smoking cigarettes or being a functioning alcoholic. You wanna have a problem with weed, fine, but have a problem with all of the petty addictions we succumb to as a culture. Marijuana is not cocaine or meth, it's as habitual as it is addictive- Reefer Madness was just a bad movie people! Pot smokers don't kill people the way drunk drivers or the tobacco companies do. (I'm not sure I've read any stories about a pothead killing someone after hitting their bong "one too many times") Really, stop listening to the bad politics of your grandparent's generation and THINK about it. Who cares? Just don't sell it to kids, that's BAD!

4- when slow-to-begin-with grocery checkers start personal conversations with the woman in front of me that has $350.00 worth of groceries in her cart. As soon as it happens my foot just starts tapping and I want to cry.

5- the post office. I have presents from years ago in my garage, wrapped and sealed in boxes. I hate going to the post office so I don't. UPDATE- I did find out that our local one lets you send packages 24 hrs a day so that solves some of my problem, now I can go at 12 at night. Yippee for me.

6- bling. I just don't know where to start, I think I'm going to dedicate a blog to this one. I just hate it, I have to turn away when I see it. It's painful to me.

7- finding bodily excrements on my stuff, like cat puke on my ottoman or baby poop on my pillowcase. I just don't like those kinds of surprises for some reason..

8- praying mantisis - would that be praying manti? I wouldn't ever hurt one intentionally and I have hundreds in the gardens every year but they FREAK me out. Yes the spiders are big and hairy but they run away from you, when a praying mantis gets on you it slowly starts to climb you. You don't feel it either, not until it starts walking up your skin or it hits your hair. I wonder how many mini heart attacks I've have because of those guys.

9- speaking of gardens... when my uber rich clients take weeks to send me a few hundred dollars. Even though they see me drive up in a POS van. Let's just say I look poor, why would they think I have the funds to just float their bill? I just don't understand that. They have all the money, I just want pocket change from them- why must it take so long?

10- Paris Hilton and Anne Coulter. These two women are examples of what's wrong with America. They're both so disappointing as women, take your pick who's actually the spawn of the devil. (i'm with Anne)

11- Bill Clinton for not going into Rwanda. I'll never forgive him for that. I guess the victims of WWII were somehow forgotten? How could we stand by AGAIN, and allow a country to brutally massacre it's innocent citizens? Machetes, not bombs and machine guns, were used to run down and hack those children, women and men to death. All while we sat here and enjoyed our air conditioning, our coca colas, our IRA's -TOTALLY CLULESS. Shame on you "the most powerful leader" in the world, you failed to lead the world in humanity, in ethics, in NOT REPEATING history.

12- people that voted for Bush the 2nd time. Sorry if this is you, seriously, sorry.

13- metallic shoes, you gotta wow me with em if ya got em. In general gold fabrics are just wrong.

14- back fat. I've got it, I hate it.

15- banks. If the devil has a house it's a bank.

16- that my friends, my age, when given the chance to buy a new car AREN'T buying hybrid cars. I get it, the selection sucks, but that's actually where the saying "put your money where your mouth is" comes in. You want more selection, give the auto makers the incentive. Yippee we've all changed our light bulbs, but damn if you can afford to buy a new car WHY NOT shop the hybrids?

17- the blank stare politicians give you when shaking your hand. I get it's not always like that and they're tired and busy blah blah blah, but there is some kinda robotic stepford wives thing about them. It makes me not trust them and I don't think they're going for that reaction!

18- people who don't believe in life outside of this planet. Enough said.

19- the argument about whether or not there is a god. Here's the bottom line for all of us, there's no way to prove it logically one way or another. The debate has been raging on philosophically since the beginning of time and we are no closer today then we were then. I wish we could focus more on what we are doing down here today, about our human lives today then on the great unknown

20- people that wear fur. I want to kill the new hip hop stars that wear it like a medal, it's a skin not a medal. That's what your bling is all about, leave the marmots alone!

21- swisher sweets, vomit!

22- people that eat their boogers as adults. Pickin is one thing, ingesting is a whole different story.

23. the fact that Oprah puts herself on the cover of her magazine every month. I know what you look like woman, you are coming across WAY too egotistical.

24. shaken baby syndrome. I hate that we can't protect these babies, I hate that some people can't step back from the line when there is such innocence involved. How does this happen? I hate SBS.
