Things I Hate, Volume 2

Now, I definitely don't want this to turn into a list of things I hate. I really love a lot of things and I'll make that list some other time, but right now, thanks to the comments on the last list, I have more to add.

• Yes, Jon. Birds too early in the morning. Ugh. (There are some around my new house, but I don't mind them nearly as much as the dreaded grackle. Curse you, grackles!)
• Home Depot (but not the song "Homo Depot" sung by one Henry Abler). Seriously, we've done a number of comparison shops and Lowe's is consistently nicer, more helpful, friendlier, and all around sweeter. That wins me over. Plus, I really prefer blue.
• Sagging balloons. It's an eventuality, I know, but when I get a happy bee balloon, I want it to last forever. C'mon, science! Forget Saturn! Perma-inflated balloons is where it's at!
• The current Scientology fixation.
• The current Brad/Angelina obsession. (W Magazine? Were you off your nuts? That wasn't an issue. That was celebrity pandering and frankly, I'd rather see fashion. Yeah, I know it's gonna sell a bajillion copies, but really. Ugh.)
• Remakes. Christ! Is there not one person in the world with one original idea? Have they freakin' asked me? I got a few.
• Whatever the hell bit my left arm near the elbow 13 times.
• People who say things like, "Well, that's being a homeowner for you!" No shit, Sherlock.
• Old toilet seats.
• Perfume spraying ladies at department stores.
• The whenever-you-need-it-is-when-you-can't-find-it phenomenon.
• The guy who refinished my hardwood floors.
• E! Entertainment Television.
• That R.Kelly being trapped in the closet. Jesus. Get the hell out already.
• The youth of America for turning the word "party" into a verb.
