20 Things that Really Honk Me Off

Channeling my inner Scrooge–as well as passing time in an all-day workshop–I have devised a list of 20 things that really honk me off. No particular order. It all gets under my skin like one of those zits you can’t pop–big, red, and painful. It’s a therapeutic exercise, really, that will perhaps pave the way for a list of 20 things that fill me with sunshine and rainbows.

1-Animal Cruelty
2-Racism
3-Most of the “-isms” (Not all, I mean, I am human.)
4-Rod Stewart
5-Hummers
6-Miscarriages of Justice
7-Raisins in cookies
8-Raisins in carrot cake
9-Disproportionate raisin to carob chip ratio in trail mix
10-Ass-kissing (The figurative kind, obviously, as the literal is context-specific.)
11-The way first class air travelers move in around the ticket person at the gate like jackals. What’s the deal? You know you are getting on first anyway!
12-Sweater vests
13-Littering
14-People that drive slow in the left lane
15-Televangelists
16-Televangelist hair
17-The Bush “Legacy” Project
18-Talk Radio
19-My monthly student loan statements
20-Kiera Knightly pursing her lips

    In no particular order, and in addition to most of Ohio Girl’s list:

    1. Cheap socks (on me)
    2. Overpriced handmade goods
    3. Underpriced handmade goods
    4. Viral levels of cross-merchandizing in children’s clothing
    5. Failure to say, “Sorry”
    6. Failure to say, “I don’t know”
    7. People who call my number, it’s a wrong number and they ask, “Who is this?”
    8. People and dogs who wake up my baby
    9. Undisclosed spiciness in restaurant food
    10. Overpricing in corner stores located in low income neighborhoods

    Love,

    Molly
