THINGS I HATE, VOL. II

(Or, the Curmudgeon walketh among us)

·       The guy on a business group call who goes into great detail about his impending vacation. Dude, I’m sad to report this, but we really don’t care

 ·       Lawyers who over-lawyer (which is maybe most)

 ·       People who like to hear themselves talk (I know many)

 ·       The cruel things I did as a child

 ·       People focused on the one thing they have to do, when I have 200

 ·       Friends who want to carry on long conversations at the gym

 ·       Toilet paper crammed so tight in the dispenser it only comes out per leaf (arghh!)

 ·       Black licorice (sorry)

 ·       The barista taking his time making the artisan smoothie/latte/something, when I want a cup of coffee

 ·       The fact that it’s hard to find cream for your coffee anywhere outside the U.S.

 ·       Long table dinners

 ·       Karaoke

 ·       Potluck at my house where I’m asked to help prepare someone else’s dish

 ·       Parties with no music or alcohol

 (Petty all, perhaps. But truth? I rest my case).
