My List: Hate and Love

I thought I'd get a list going and maybe even inspire others to start a list as well. I'm doing it because I think it will help me get a bunch of stuff off my chest, which has slowly been suffocating me over the past couple of days. Sorry to start with the negative, but oh well.…guess it shows my current mood. (In no particular order)

I Hate:
Long fingernails
People who lick their fingers after eating
Sound of chewing with mouth open
Sound of chewing ultra-crunchy food with mouth closed
Men who don't let ladies go first
Men who don't hold doors
Men who ogle
Men who make hissing, smooching, kissing, whistling noises to get your attention on the street
People who try to hard to be funny when they're not funny at all in any way
Nasty ass perfume that gets into my nose, throat, lungs and eventually out through my pores as if I'm wearing it
Loud talkers
Quiet talkers
Over-enunciators
Under-enunciators
People who see that you have food in your teeth and don't tell you (bastards)
2 faced gossipers
Nasty ass perfume (bears a repeat in mention it's so bad)
Halitosis (especially from garlic)
Rotten egg farts a.k.a. SBDs (especially from someone other than myself)
Complainers (myself especially)
Whiners (again, myself included)
Teret-like tics that almost everyone has...tapping fingers, tapping toes, clearing throats, sniffing, smacking lips, etc.
Crowded subways
People who touch me without my consent (see "crowded subways")
Assholes who don't give up their seat to elderly or pregnant women! (super selfish prick bastards)
People who say one thing and mean another
Summer analysts and new analysts (ignorant fucks)
Time that goes too fast when enjoying myself (everytime I actually have fun)
People who think they can sing but really, really can't (and I don't mean in a karaoke sort of way because that's a given)
Stinky summer nasty New York streets and sewers
Laundry
Dishes
Annoying neighbors who're super loud all the time and have no clue that they're totally oblivious about it
Being irritable--seems there's no way to get rid of it except to just get drunk
