Wow...
Let's see...
1) I grew up in an environment so judgemental that it would be hard for some people to conceive of. I would like very much to succeed in banishing the judgementalness (is there such a word?) from my life, along with other abstract qualities of my parents that I find distasteful. I guess many of you would say that I have a long way to go, and I can't possibly argue with that. It hasn't been easy.
2) I've always been repulsed by Ignorance. I don't mean the 'absence of education' that you'd find as a definition in a dictionary, either. I mean, the steadfast refusal to be enlightened; the dogged adherence to hatreds and superstitions in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary. We'll cure AIDS long before we cure Ignorance. This is something that the Social Engineers in our midst just don't seem to understand.
3) Loud, repetitive noises. Like car burglar alarms, crying babies, loud parties (gets old after a couple of hours), pile drivers. I hate it.
4) Stuck-up women. Unless you're a super model or a movie star, you likely have little justification for such behavior.
5) Self-righteous, haughty, pompous people. I can't resist taking a knitting needle and deflating them.
6) Fluffernutter sandwiches. Fried liver. Anything with curry in it.
7) Ugly, scaly, boneytoed, mangled feet.
8) People who don't have opinions of their own, who merely voice catchwords and labels and concepts they've heard on the radio or TV, because they're too afraid to go the next step and actually think about things. As far as I'm concerned, when you do try to reach that next step, that's the path to adulthood, no matter how old you are.
9) Falling in lockstep with Psycho on this one (and not a repetition of #4, when you think about it)...bitchy women. I've always been attracted to very nice women, sunny dispositioned women, no matter what their physical appearance. Body language and phraseology mean everything with me. One day at work, one of the local Hoi Polloi came over and chastised me like a Cocker Spaniel about something on her car that didn't fall under the warranty. I had nothing to do with warranty work, so while she was talking, I walked away. I bit my tongue so hard to keep from laughing as she opened range behind me (sputtering, spitting and raging), that it was swollen for a week.
10) Crude humor, sexist humor. Never was my thing. Mostly, it's in the delivery, though. If you're really a funny person, then you can make me laugh about ANY subject. People like that are few and very far in between.
Thank you for lettin' me share.
