You know what I hate?
People who ride your bumper when you're in the right hand lane going the speed limit. I mean dude, I'm in the "slow" lane going the speed limit, don't ride my ass. Get over! There are no cars there!

Missing all but the last few notes of one of my favorite songs on the radio. People who don't slow down and don't get over when an ambulance is driving by with its lights on. People who can't seem to fill out a rental application properly. It's not rocket science to, at the very LEAST, print your name clearly! Oh, wait, yes it is. I'm sorry. I forgot. Being treated like I'm an idiot at work just because I have a bubbly personality. That does not mean I'm a moron, or a ditz. It means I'm a happy person.. happy when you're not treating me like an idiot that is!
I hate when my brother freaks everyone out because he has to go to the emergency room on Saturday nights because his heart is racing at 130 beats per minute, and wont slow down. My brother has a condition called "tachycardia" which means his heart beats too fast to begin with. But long story short he's fine, went to a heart doc. yesterday and got all checked out. They upped his medication that he takes already, and said not to have too much caffeine or other stimulants, and not to drink more than one drink. But he's fine now, which is good.

And for good measure I also hate; fresh tomatoes (but love them when they're cooked and/or processed.. mmm ketchup), mushrooms, giant spiders, republicans, and snakes. And war. And when the power flickers on and off like it is right now...

Ok that covers it for today. Thank you for your time. I have to drink beer now.

Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 04:03 AM by idgiehkt
