Favorite Hates

This has been A week and I'm glad it's coming to an end. We're still fighting the tummy bug of the century in our house and I've gone through more baby wipes, done more disinfecting, loads of laundry, and scrubbing of surfaces than any woman should ever have to do. Ever.

 I'm calling this the Haus of Ca-ca (not to be confused with the creative minds that produce the Haus of Ga-Ga. Lady Gaga might not like the comparison....)

All this poop has made my mood kinda sucky-la-la and because of that I'm featuring another edition of My Favorite Hates. The stuff that I just enjoy disliking.  

The slouch sandal. Could there be a less flattering sandal ever made. Let's just cut off your ankle and add an ugly sleeve of fabric so we can make your legs look shorter. Yes, that's the look every woman is going for.

Japanese Anime cartoons. What could be lamer?!  Now my son is starting to think that Bakugon and Beyblade characters are cool. No son they are not. Dumb names and even more dumb story lines with characters that have overly large heads and eyes. And they are most definitely not child friendly. Who came up with this crap? Oh right, the Japanese. Ok, Japan you make great cars but bad cartoons.

Glenn Beck. The ultra right wing and ultra annoying American conservative and political commentator.  Fox News gave this guy his own show. How did this happen? Oh right, Fox News. Nough said.

Bits and Bites snack mix. Why do they always give this to you on an airplane?  I know that some people like these, but they are so redonkulously SALTY. It's bad enough to be stuck beside some stranger on a flight, now you get to eat a salty pack of MSG laden carbs.  Dehydration and then bloating is exactly what I want from a good airplane snack.

Transitional Lenses. Ok, so they serve a purpose. You don't feel like putting on your sunglasses so why not have a pair of glasses that can shade automatically?  I'll tell you why not, because they're ugly and lame and ugly. Don't be so lazy. Grab some decently cool sunglasses like the rest of the world. Unless you want to look like your Uncle Bernie these are never acceptable. And don't ever do this to your children, they'll be ridiculed for days. Just saying. 

So since I'm feeling especially snarky this afternoon, hit me with YOUR fave hates!

My Favorite Hates

While driving home from the mall this afternoon I stopped at a red light behind a car that was so ugly it actually made me cringe. The thing is, it was a new car, not some clunker from '83 that was covered in rust. As I sat behind the car, it's styling (or lack there of) actually offended me and got me to thinking about about other things that make me turn up my nose. You know when something just isn't right and you can't help but be a hater?!

Yeah, yeah, most people blog about their favorite things- the shopping, food, clothes, crafts, kids stuff, whatever it is that they enjoy. And I usually like to share about my love for the good stuff too. But this post is dedicated to that which I dislike -  ain't  no rainbows, puppies, snaps or cheers here. 

{Today's first offender: I can't quite put my finger on it, but this "Cadillac" looks like a cross between a tin can, a Pontiac Aztec (the undisputed UGLIEST car of all time) and Robo-Cops' butt...}

{Harem Pants- they were terrible when MC Hammer did 'em. Nothing's changed since. Why would you want to look like you didn't quite make it to the bathroom on time and may have filled your pants??}

{Carrot Top. I've mentioned this before, but this man is Creepy McCreeperson. Blech.}

{Nancy Grace. Could this woman be any MORE annoying? No.

 Her painful drawl, her intensity and quasi-legal speak always make me change the channel now, like right NOW.  No Nancy, we don't know where the missing teen/car-jacker/baby Ashley is right now...but you'll let us know as soon as YOU do.}

{Interpretive Dance. I can't handle the jerky, weird-o choreography of modern interpretive dance. I'm not the only one here right?}

{TMZ. Total trash. Harvey Levin and his band of misfit Pap's run after (mostly) B-list celebs and ask them dumb-ass questions. "What'd you have for lunch today Snoop Dog?"   We don't care. And yet you get sucked in to watching this crapsandwich of a show (like every night, when I'm supposed to be going to bed.)}

{Cluster Diamond Rings. Ugly. Dated. Ugly. Tiny diamonds as a poor excuse for a decent sized one. Men, save your money and delay the engagement until you can afford a solitaire.}

{Celery and Pineapple. I really don't know why, but I can't stand eating either of these. Pineapple is such a great way to completely RUIN a perfectly good ham and cheese pizza.}

Yeah this is a strange and random list of dislikes and maybe I've just sucked the sunshine from your day, but there is something really gratifying about bitching about that which I abhor. Everyone has some things that drives them nutty....let's hear about  your favorite hates!
