7 things I hate because of others
postal ornithology
House Hunters on HGTV presents a person, couple or family looking to buy a ‘house’ in a specific area. A local realtor is assigned and provides the party with three properties from which one is chosen. Before the ‘hunt’ begins, the realtor meets with each party to discuss specific parameters for the new property.
A few years back, an engaged couple were looking to move out of separate apartments into a house in the suburbs. One specific demand of this couple, the woman, inspired this post. She stated emphatically that she did not want a house that had trees near the master bedroom window. When asked her reasoning, she said, “I like to sleep with the windows open. But I hate chirping birds. The noise disrupts my sleep.”
Okay, then. Quite frankly, I think a lot of things bothered this woman. However, since that comment, I notice chirping birds now more than ever; especially in the morning. Thanks a lot, bitch. No, I would never let such a petty annoyance influence my decision making when buying a house. But I would write a post about the transference of ‘hate’ from other people. Then, include who’s to blame for said ‘influence’ and some witty commentary, of course.
the pecking order
birds chirping - once again – thanks a lot, bitch. Shut the chirp up!
umbilical ‘snots’ attached to the yolk in eggs – I blame a neighbor for this one. Ever since her comment about how gross these things were, I can’t even look at them. Pick ‘em out every time; even when baking.
unjustified margins – High School English teacher – SKI Magazine is notorious for this, … this publishing faux pas. I almost cancelled my subscription. It’s such a travesty.
men with mustaches- Two of my co-workers are convinced all men with mustaches are evil douche bags. Entertainment Weekly once stated that only Tom Selleck and 70′s porn stars can rock a ‘stache. Both parties are correct – mustaches are totally gross and men who sport them really are douche bags. Except for Tom Selleck and 70′s porn stars, that is.
pet prescriptions - my partner in pharmaceutical crime – yes, numerous pets are medicated. Some even take the SAME prescription as their owner. Twisted shit, man. Still, never thought twice about this topic until my friend vocalized her annoyance. Now, I’m a hater, too.
crust on bread – my children – result of making thousands of sandwiches over the years. Crust is especially crusty when toasted.
I hate people – occupational hazard. Who’s to blame ? Any one who has ever stepped foot into a retail pharmacy.
leaving the nest
There are more of course; always are. However, if I continue, it could get … stale. Which reminds me. I throw all of my discarded crust in the backyard for the birds to eat. I guess my transferred hate isn’t too deeply rooted. However, if one of those damn birds starts chirping for more … .
