Things I hate, revisited

I decided it's time to cover the list of things I hate. I like to keep up to date on these things. It's important to be able to identify and list the things you hate so you don't get confused. So, without further ado:

Scorching heat: Strangely, despite the fact that I have lived in Texas all my life, I still hate being so hot if feels as if my skin is melting off. You'd think I'd adjust. Some mammals are so unadaptable!

The owner of my building at work: This guy has major little man syndrome. He's shorter than me, and he drives a HUGE jacked up F-250 pick up truck. It's gigantic, and it pisses me off to no end. Plus, on the back window, he has a huge Oakley sticker. Can anyone say poser? So not only does this man drive an unnecessarily gargantuan vehicle, he parks it in the best spot, right next to the door. If he gets there late and can't get the best spot, he goes down and actually MOVES his truck while everyone's gone for lunch! Can you believe that? It's not like this is a mall parking lot. There's only about 20 spots, so I have no problem walking to a further spot. My problem is that his truck is so freakin huge that you can't see around it to back up. So by the time you've backed out enough to see whether cars are coming, they're having to swerve around you to avoid hitting you. When I was driving dad's huge truck, I parked at the end so that nobody was parking near me. He is a selfish ass, and I physically have to restrain myself from keying his truck on a regular basis.

Nazis: Sure, they have kick ass fashions. But a great sense of style does NOT give a person a right to attempt genocide.

Catholic art: Statue of Christ: Slightly off putting, but tolerable. Statue of Christ with blood dripping from his thorn of crowns and his heart, which he is TOUCHING, sticking out of his chest for God only knows whatever reason: FREAKY. Seriously, what's up with that shit? Who wants to see that? Catholic artists must be some fucked up freaks.

Ham

My boyfriend's job: which has been taking all of his free time and turning him into a slobbering brain damaged lump of stress whom I hardly get any time with anymore and when I do get time he's not his old self cause he's useless for anything other than jumping nervously everytime the phone rings and having a facial twitch.

People at church asking if I'm engaged YET: No. NO. I'm not engaged yet. If I were engaged, you would see a FUCKING RING. Do you see a fucking ring? Then I'm not fucking engaged yet. SO FUCKING LAY OFF! At first, it was slightly amusing, but now it has become seriously fucking tiresome, so FUCKING STOP IT.

Video game bugs: I hate when games crash. And it seems like they do it at the worst possible time. Like when you've been working SO hard to make it to a certain point, and you're ALMOST there, and you say, "You know, I haven't saved in a while, I better save before I go in this castle," and BAM. That's when it happens. And you lose two hours of gameplay. If not more. I had a version of Oregon Trail that crashed right as you got to Oregon, everytime. Doesn't that suck? All that travel and no payoff! What? Yeah, I play Oregon Trail! I happen to love Oregon Trail, and have since I was in fifth grade. You got a problem with that? Well, do ya punk?

My mom: No really. I love my mom. But I really hate her too. The idea that I could be married eventually and actually move out of her house has made living with her almost unbearable. She doesn't even have to do anything and I want to roll my eyes and leave the room. I think I might be damaged.

Getting burned: I got burned on my fingers this week. It sucks.

MySpace: I used to enjoy MySpace. I don't know what happened. I think I got a life or something. Weird. I really don't like strangers sending me messages or requesting a spot on my friend's list. I really don't like 14 year olds, which MySpace is rife with. I really don't like strangers sending me propaganda against my religion. That happened. WTF? Who does he think he is? It really pissed me off. I leave my profile up so that I can stay in touch with certain people, but it's really getting stale as far as I'm concerned.

Having to stay in contact with people I don't care about: Used to be, you work with someone and you enjoy working with them alright, but you don't really have much in common beside working together, and then one day one of you quits and you never speak to them again, and no one cares. Well, no more my friends! Now you exchange email addresses, and you have to stay in contact with them for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. But, of course, they never answer the emails where you ask them how they're doing or anything, instead they send you perpetual emails about how if you love God you won't delete this and will send it on to prove you're not ashamed, or emails about how important you are and you're such a good friend complete with annoying pictures of watercolor cherubs and a really lame-ass poem, and you have to send this to at least 5 other people who make a difference in your life. Gack. Do me a favor. Keep your stupid forwards. I'll send you an email when I get married or die and you can do the same, oh-kay?

Mormons: Yes, yes, I am fully aware that I am Mormon. But DEAR LORD some Mormons are so freaking annoying! I'm not even joking. Why, as a group, do they have to be so holier-than-thou and goody two shoes? Why is it that only a few of us have figured out that you can be Mormon without being really annoying and without being a big old goober? (I realize I leave myself open to a barrage of insults at this juncture. I say to you, take the high road, man. Take the high road.)

People who drive slow

Mattress commercials and car commercials: Seriously. Why do I need to hear a mattress commercial at EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL BREAK? I will buy a mattress every, what? 5-10 years? I think that when the time comes, I can find a mattress with, say, a commercial just once an hour. Really. I know, I know, it's crazy, but I really don't think I need to be reminded every 15 minutes that I can possibly buy something that I will really only need a few times in my life time. And car commercials. SO loud. So annoying. I'm speaking not of the ones from the makers, which can actually be kinda cute. I'm speaking of dealership commercials. Grrr. They make me want to stab people. And I can't tell you how many mattress stores and car dealerships I will NEVER go to based SOLELY on their annoying ads. Sad really.

Well, I should stop. If I list everything I hate this could take tomes, or maybe fill up the entire internet. These are just the things that have been preying on my mind lately. Feel free to add to my list. I'm sure what you hate is something I hate. I have plenty of hate to share.

oof. A list of things I hate. It might just be easier if I were to say that I hate everything and give the much shorter list of thing I like. It's not even like I'm a negative person...it's just that I have major hates that seem to trickle down on to everything else. Like people. I don't mind individuals every now and again, but I dislike people in general. It's amazing how almost everything else can fall under that one heading. :) But, until I finish my army of labor-bots to make all of the things I like, I'll just have to put up with society. But when I do....RUE THE DAY! RUE IT I SAID!!!

One of the few things I like: when people start paragraphs with the word 'oof.' So cute! But still, I rue. Oh how I rue. And people are stupid and annoying and ruin this life for the rest of us.

cainnum said...

you ....dont....like....ham? how dare you madam. its like i dont even know you. well humph. good day. i said good day

Margie the Pickle Princess said...

I only hate ham because it makes me throw up. It's not like I have a personal vendetta against ham or anything like that.

I also hate bunnies. And those people who were parked next to us at the fireworks last night who were blasting rap music, bonging beer, smoking pot, and cussing loudly. Some people are such assholes.

KieraAnne said...

Totally with you on the big truck thing. I hate trying to back out of a space when you're parked next to one...or worse in between two of them...stupid Texans and their stupid trucks...oh and I hate those people blasting rap music and such last night too. I also hate that Steve Irwin died in such a stupid way....stupid sting rays! He ROCKED!!! and that people are saying it's people's voyeuristic demand for extreme t.v. that drove him to such a feat...people it was a stingray! virtually harmless! Morons...okay I'm done.

Margie the Pickle Princess said...

Hey man, I saw just as many huge trucks in Utah as I do here! So there!

Steve Irwin. What a goober. Gettin himself killed by a sting ray. Pft.

"Having to stay in contact with people I don't care about"

I HAD a few of those. Fortunately, when I changed email addresses, I didn't give them the new one. I almost felt bad, because I've known one of them for 10 years and another for 15, etc. But I don't think I've had a real conversation with any of them in forever, and "knowing" someone isn't exactly the same as "liking" that person!

KieraAnne said...

Yeah, but I didn't really drive that much in Utah, and when I did it was in a huge 15 passenger van, just as big as the trucks. So I hate the ones here more. ;)

Being nosy here...hi Margie! Love that list. I am a big fan of lists-just ask Cainnum. You said fucking and church in the same paragraph. hehe
The heat in Texas is awful, but thankfully I m not currently there to suffer. I am suffering elsewhere. Narf.
You got stuff from people against your religion? How (insert clever word here).
Hope all is well with you.
