The Big List

I am sure I will add to this, and will probably expand on some of the items mentioned here, but here we go - the list - in no particular order - what do I hate....

New York Yankees, Duke, the Lakers, the BCS, sandals, really any footwear other than sneakers, talk radio, debt, bad breath, the dentist, haircuts, combing my hair, tying my shoes, pairing socks from the laundry, sweating, buying clothes, shopping, the supermarket, reality TV "stars," virtually any show that appears on The Soup, bars with cover charges, athletic trainers, chopsticks, moving, helping people move, asking people to help me move, asking people to pick me up at the airport, Bud Selig, the World Baseball Classic, Rick Pitino, NBA officials, NBA players who flop, sports agents, freecreditreport.com, celebrity gossip, not having change for the vending machine, the switch from cans to bottles of soda, people who turn the simple task of ordering a sandwich into the most complicated feat on the planet, people in a checkout line who wait until the last possible second to get out their form of payment as if they couldn't have seen that step coming, watching people trying to pick out which donuts they want for a dozen, meatloaf, Meatloaf, the media most of the time, ESPN most of the time, Fox News all the time, having cereal but no milk, having jelly but no peanut butter, having to set an alarm on the weekend, Proposition 8, the Today Show, turtlenecks, people who try to get on elevators or the train before letting the people off, the small yet growing bald spot beginning to form on the back of my head, the near impossibility anymore of being able to buy a ticket to an event at face value, the unwillingness of the powers-that-be to even attempt to address that problem, that I can't break dance, not being 6'0 tall, people who feel a need to provide a minute by minute time-line of their day via their facebook status, having my order screwed up, bars/restaurants that give you a hard time about splitting your check for multiple people over multiple credit cards, places that try to enforce a minimum charge before they will let you use a credit card, that bar in DC we went to with all the strange rules, spilling something on the rug in our apartment, spilling something and not realizing until long after the stain has set in, spilling something and realizing it but being too lazy to do something, spilling something and realizing it and actually doing something but making the stain much much worse, same goes for my clothes, ironing, wearing ties, people who hate everything, fish, Phish, that The Wire and The Shield and Arrested Development all are off the air, Abba, girls running on to the dance floor arms flailing screaming when Abba is played at a bar, listening to Johnny Sports Trivia explain every possible detail to the girl he brought with him to the game that he is attempting to impress, not knowing any of the questions at Jeopardy, companies that are using the state of the economy as an excuse to layoff low-level workers (I am talking about you Washington Redskins and other sports teams), people who don't turn right on red, people who take their sweet time crossing the street even if they are doing so against the light, wine, people who repeatedly and violently push the call button for an elevator as if that will get it there faster, I know he is already on here but I really hate Bud Selig, the liquid rule for getting through airport security, people who don't know the right way to put their luggage in the overhead compartment, people who know the flight is full but still decide to stuff all their belongings in the overhead compartment instead of just sticking their winter coat on their lap or under the seat, the overly-anal people about getting in line for a flight on Southwest, my rapidly declining vision ability, buying something only to realize shortly after "What was I thinking," that I can get a footlong sub from Subway for 5 bucks but not a 6-inch double sub for that same price,
