AKA The Bitch and Moan thread.
Ok I'll go 1st--why is it $72.00 at the grocery store? Every week it's between 65-75.00 and it's just me and sometimes I have to go back before the week is up!
It's stupid. Spending that much money on food is "Stuff I hate doing."
I HATE having to spend an outrageous amount of money on my meds, every few weeks, instead of cool monster stuff - and it's my own damn fault for getting myself unhealthy! Plus, the ritual of going through the list, ordering, etc.
I HATE going to Wal-mart.
I HATE standing in lines.
I HATE having to sit through commercials on youtube.
I HATE paying too much money for cable and there is never anything on
I HATE paying over $100 dollars for groceries, and get home to realize, 40% of it is not edible
I Hate It All!
I hate driving! The next place I move to (which will probably be "the old folk's home"), will have sidewalks and shops within walking distance. It's ridiculous to have to drive 2 miles to a grocery store just because you live on a rural road with NO shoulder to walk on and ORINCO- Pet Sematary semi trucks passing by at 70 mph.!
PLUS- it takes me 20 minutes to get to the interstate which is only 5 miles from my house! And then there's Atlanta traffic.........bleh...I feel sick...
I HATE thinking of great stories (at least I think so) in my head, but not being able to put them down on paper. It really sucks! *storms off grumbling under breath*
I hate that there are no more light brown M&Ms...
I hate that I can't dunk a basketball anymore...
I ants...
I hate my daughters growing up...
Whooops. I didn't list things I hate DOING. :-[
I hate shopping on Saturdays.
Actually I should rephrase that. "Parking lots on Saturday can suck it."
So I'm working on my bike, putting on a tinted windscreen. Having coffee doing it and enjoying the sun, saying hello to neighbors etc etc...then it hit me. "Damnit!! My dress pants at the tailor for mother's day!".......So I had to go.
After 500 laps around the mall parking lot, 2 gallons of sweat and favorite songs now turned into anthems of anger. I put my hazards on and parked the Jeep in the fire zone. Something about "F**k this, tow it."
I got my pants and left. This is what happens when you lose a few lbs and your sister texts you "Really nice place on Sun."
I......hated all of this.
Things I hate-
Teen pop music
In the box thinking
Gun registration and background checks- It is annoying to have to jump through two hours of paperwork to buy a rifle these days. grrr.
filling up the gas tank- The edge of which is taken off by being able to buy a pockets coke, but 3.45 for gas- Really?
Eating
Shaving
Taxes
Enduring my wife's attitude 10-14 days each month
being broke most of the time
housework
enduring the price of new comics and magazines
enduring the price of gas and groceries
thinking about the fact that Vincent Price is dead
Paying for household appliances and vehicles that tear up right after you use your tax refund to pay them off
making debt
using credit cards
listening to screams and unruly noises leaping from the mouths of infants
Discussing Politics
Hearing about CHILD ABUSE
Experiencing some slight Male pattern baldness
Getting sick or hearing of others getting sick
Hearing bigots run their mouths
Having Diarrhea
Having Constipation
Using any deodorant other than Mitchum
getting old and dropping dead eventually
Reading The new 52 versions of Superman and Wonder Woman
Drinking Coke Zero
Watching Cartoons that suck
There's much more. But I dont wanna sound negative. :laugh:
Emptying the dishwasher
Filling the salt & pepper shakers
Being cordial to people who are scum
Filing CDs back in their proper order
Wow...Anton! You reminded me of lots of stuff that I forgot I hate doing! (that's terrible English, I know, but I'm wiped out from mowing)
Which brings me to mowing.......We have 2 gas powered push mowers (one is self propelled) but I can't stand using the self propelled model, so I use the lighter weight sucky one. And a few years ago, I decided to stop using pine straw mulch around our 4 front yard ornamental trees, and I replaced it with rubber mulch. It was pricey, but looks neat year after year and doesn't was away. deep breath...............
So now when I mow around the trees, the rubber mulch that has strayed away from the circular areas around the trees gets picked up by the mower and shoots rubber bullet- like projectiles at my bare legs!! Owwwwwww!
But there's no going back to pinestraw.....so I think I'm gonna switch with my husband and start doing the backyard.....which of course has -rubber mulch around the landscaped areas. I'm just gonna stop now. I hate mowing. It hurts.
Cleaning inside on a nice sunny day.
Having people talk down to me and yell from daylight til dark when I dont do it to them. :-\

I feel that way about my mother too .. Only joking but I agree ... :D
I HATE waiting tables. I need a new job been doing it too long.

Lol, my mother wouldnt do that....she knows I would put something in her tea and open a motel out on the old highway. Seriously though, people are just so unbelievably rude and condescending nowadays.
Being crashed into by a car being driven by a 90 year old man (wearing sunglasses at 9:30 at night) is a real thing I would hate as well (saw it happen right in front of me Wednesday night).
EEK! Many years ago, our parked car was wrecked by a 70 year woman learning to drive in bedroom slippers ... :(
I also hate giving pets pills and other meds.
I hate accidentally leaving my car window open when I go inside. Not because it rains but because there was a damn bird sitting on the passenger seat this morning.
Thanks for poopin'!
I hate working!!
I hate not being able to save the birds that my cats catch.
I hate running out in my bathrobe in vain attempts to rescue birds and then have to take the bodies away.
I hate having to wait 3 more weeks for monster bash 2012
Moving. >:(
Grocery shopping, especially on weekends. Yesterday I witnessed a large woman lift a bunch of grapes over her head, remove one with her mouth and put the rest of the cluster back. Not even kidding.
That's disgusting....lol
I hate when I realize that I need to wash some key components of my wardrobe- AND it's 11:00 pm on a Sunday!
It seems like the washer and dryer do their respective jobs at a super slow pace!
I need my black pants....NOW!! Come on and dry!! DRY!

Stop shopping at Wal Mart. ;D
I LOATHE, living in ugly Las Vegas! I can assure everyone, this is NOT the place to be or live.
I hate, rushing. I always seem to be in a rush, and forget things.
I hate, WALMART too!! Target rules! But, unfortunately, WALMART happens to be open ALL efin night.
I hate making mistakes, and later paying for them(mistakes) :(

Haha not exactly. If it was Wal Mart, she would have done it to the sausages.
I have no idea what that means but man it's gross.
Right now I hate working in this heat!
I hate having to walk somewhere in this heat.
I hate having to wake up , and my house is empty ( well , not really , its fullll of toys and monsters. .
but ).. my kids are gone right now. .
and its so quiet and empty .
and I miss them :(
Its sad. I hate when theyre not around. ** sniffle.
I do not like the one who decided that there would be only 24 hours in a day because it is difficult to live in such a short time. You know what I mean, eight hours of work, eight hours of sleep and what remains for what you really want to do.
Very bad math!
I hate working
Anything in a heat wave.

Awe...they'll be back soon. =)
Sleeping. No choice but I hate it.
Using the electric hedge trimmer (which I'm about to do), because it's loud and irritating......but I have no choice :( The last time I decided to use manual trimmers, I cut my finger tip off. It took 2 years (through the process of granulation,to finally grow back. But these beasts we call "shrubs"will not trim themselves...I really hate shrubs!
I hate not having the money to buy the plethora of things that I want.

Be careful with those!
Many years ago, my mother lopped off part of a finger with her manual trimmers.
The next year she bought an electric trimmer. She cut the cord in two. Sparks flew and she dropped the trimmers, but tried to catch it as it fell. She caught the still moving blades and sliced open three fingers. The following year she made my Dad trim the greenery.
I hate paying unexpected bills.
Fester- Holy Hedges!!! That's such a common thing for me to do- catch something when I drop it...as in an iron :( Yes- I did that about 20 years ago! It's an instinct passed down from our butterfingered ancestors, I guess. Well I am taking a break after 3 large bushes- it now looks like our house isn't abandoned (on one side). I have 8 more to go, so I'm glad I read that cord story! I will be waaaay careful :)
If you decide to get careless--get it on video . . . ::)
Will do, Fester! :) Although I only have the old wood burning model of an Iphone, I'll try to set something up. Last night I was showing my grandson how to do a skateboard trick on our laminate floored hallway, and I didn't fall off when I was fooling around on it.....but when I told my grandson to give it a try, the board flew behind him and hit me in the ankle! hahahaha! I pretended like it didn't hurt so he wouldn't feel badly about it. But it was one of those bone bruises to the ankle deals. Owww. He's not at my house today, so I can limp!
Is it only me or It used to be a lot easier to choose something as common as a juice?
Nowadays...
Grape-Banana-Strawberry
Kiwi-Apple-Pear
Cherry-Raspberry-Mango
Orange-Pineapple-Lime
Papaya-Grapefruit-Prune
Peach-Cranberry-Tangerine
Lemon-Watermelon-Blueberry
and the list goes on...
Don't worry! If your favorite flavor is not on this list, make your own mix. It will be on a shelf somewhere at your nearest supermarket...for sure.
Seriously, do we really need all this??? :o
I hate losing close friends, or a close friend. It makes me very sad.
Especially when I seem to disappear.......without notice.

I hate losing close friends too. It's really a bummer. A close friend of mine that was in my wedding and I got into it when his signifigant other made some very rude comments about my wife. He took the side of his S/O (now ex) and in the fight we both said things we didn't mean and stopped being friends. I tried to make up for it, but always get ignored. I just recently gave up after a year and a half of trying to patch things up. It's tough, but life goes on I guess!
I hate cleaning up after barbecues. And cleaning Barbecues.

This is gross and creepy, WARNING!
I hate cleaning out my outdoor trash can. During the summer, I try to hose it out every other week, but it's been pretty steamy, and the maggots organized a family reunion in my big rolling trash can. I felt so guilty, but I sprayed the inside with Tile-X before I rinsed it out. I saw their little maggot bodies roll down the driveway and I hung my head in sadness. So long fly babies....til next month.
Char .. maybe this will help
The unpleasant odor of a can full of trash is something most of us simply tolerate. But if you've ever had the misfortune of opening up your outdoor trash can and discovering little crawling white maggots...well, that's a different story. It takes the word "disgusting" to a whole new level...especially if you have to then transport that bag in your car to a dump.
Maggots are fly larvae. You know how common it is to see flies buzzing around trash? Well, in this case, a fly has gotten into your trash and managed to lay eggs. If you can prevent this from happening, you are likely to get rid of your maggot problem.
Moth balls are known to repel flies and prevent maggots from forming. However, moth balls are toxic and carcinogenic. Here are some simple, non-toxic steps you can take after discovering maggots in your garbage to reduce the likelihood of their coming back.
1. Once trash has been removed, wash your garbage can out with boiling water. This should kill any maggots still in the can. Alternatively, if you have a sealed dumpster, you can remove maggots to a sealed plastic bag then release them into the dumpster so they can do what they do best – decompose garbage.
2. After you're sure that all maggots are out of your trash can, scrub the interior and exterior of the can well with a solution of one part vinegar, two parts water. This should be done on a weekly basis in order to keep cans clean and free of the odors that attract flies. After scrubbing, rinse well, then allow can to dry thoroughly in sun before putting any new trash in. Maggots love moisture, so maintaining a dry can is essential.

Thanks Flower! Wow, is there anything vinegar can't do?? I've been reading so much about it on Pinterest, and I've used it to clean the coffee/tea makers, a nebulizer and glass items. And I always seem to have a bottle of white vinegar lurking in the pantry- hahahaha! I would never have thought it would repel bugs...I mean, it smells bad so I would think that bugs would enjoy it. I will try it on my rolling can. I just got a new one last month, and it actually latches shut- unlike the last one that Waste Industries issued to us. I used to put rocks or pavers on top of the old can, so raccoons or other furry friends couldn't get in. But flies always sneak in! And although I'm not grossed out by maggots, I always think about how many hundreds of flies they would turn into- eek!Like in the Amityville Horror- Flies everywhere!
Good luck Char .. I've been lucky to this point, not having to deal with maggots.
I hate waking up to a hang over!
I hate having to help someone with a project (especially if it involves wood & nails) and it's NOT my project, nor is it in any way FUN! For example: Fixing a broken stair on our porch. I have no idea what function I serve while standing outside and staring at someone hammering and measuring and sawing boards. YET....they need my help. I could be making Kool aid or doing laundry...but No, I'm "helping".
Wow! I sound mean! But the person hammering doesn't know how horrible it is for the person standing there doing nothing. It's like constant flinching and a headache. I like to do my own projects and if I feel like I might fall off the ladder or something I'll ask for someone to keep an eye out.
Now I sound like that weird lady carpenter on Green Acres. I usually do tons of yardwork (including mowing) and I do most of the painting. But I'm not a carpenter.
