It's time to make "The Worst Things Ever" list for 2012, so we can all focus our hate on what really matters throughout this year. I have my list below, in no particular order. Please suggest in the comments anything you would like to submit to the list and we will consider including it:

12. Consequences
13. Pop music

ReplyDeleteHow about people who say something or someone is a "hot mess. " I can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteEmployees not doing their job and denying it even though you have documentation and massive problems to prove it.

you can keep #9 on your list but I have to refute your theory. I like sushi but I don't go out of my way to eat it because it is too damn expensive to call a MEAL, which means I don't know how to order it, because I haven't been taken out to eat enough of it by the people you list as #9.
ReplyDelete"Gleeks"
Anyone who calls sushi a "meal" doesn't deserve to have a meal.
DeleteI'm glad my new Blabbergasted blog (blabbergastedblog.blogspot.com) never makes it onto this list. Or actually, that might actually be good for traffic. Ha!
ReplyDeletethe State of Wyoming. For no good reason.
ReplyDeleteCaptcha boxes.

Shutup. You had me at "People who text back 'ok'"
Deletejust so you know, they have deep fried sushi, and that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteConsiderations from a fan:
ReplyDeletePeople who "wish everyone a good night" on facebook... Every night.
The way normally intelligent people act unintelligent just because they got engaged.
Online dating (both the suggestion from EVERYONE I KNOW to try it and the fact that it just SUCKS)
Anyone in the Army, for personal reasons.
Not enough recognition for personal restraint (from giving the intern swirlies) in the work place.
Frontier Airlines
Squatters
Student loans
And finally, the fact that your blog only JUST came to my attention in December with the snuggie post. Clearly I have been missing out until now. Keep being you babe!
The milk crusties at the top of the gallon.
ReplyDeleteAmen @7 & 9
ReplyDeleteMy list includes nightmares, being hungry/eating, and Circus Circus in Las Vegas.
I just had several severe flashbacks from a bad Circus Circus experience in 1989.
DeleteI'm pretty sure Mal Mecham and I are the same person. Eli, you're a lawyer...can you look into identity theft? Or perhaps Mal and I are twins seperated at birth?
ReplyDeleteall the "work-out" motivation pins on pinterest. i know a lot of things that taste MUCH better than "thin" does.
ReplyDeleteMariah Carey all the time.... but especially in the Jenny Craig commercial.
ReplyDeletePeople who have the most advanced equipment but can't do shit with it.

Texting while driving (I also think "all drivers on the road" covers this)

And also hopefully for the last year, Obama. (Yes, that just happened)
Also, I've felt that way about Sushi for awhile now, glad I'm not alone.
People who pin "My hubs" or "Chloe and Grandma" on pinterest. That's what facebook is for!!

ReplyDeleteUsing your and you're incorrectly.
Using the words 'epic' and 'fail' in sentences that dont describe something epic. Or a failure.
Finding Bigfoot.
Traffic.
One question: Isn't deep fried sushi technically not sushi?
Sushi is Japanese for vinegared rice. Sashimi is raw seafood. You can have cooked sushi or sashimi style sushi. Both can be delicious, or nasty beyond words.
DeleteSushi is Japanese for vinegared rice. Sashimi is raw seafood. You can have cooked sushi or sashimi style sushi. Both can be delicious, or nasty beyond words.

I agree with pretty much everything said so far, and can only think of one thing to add:
ReplyDeleteSauerkraut. It smells so horrible!
@Mrs. B (and anyone else who wondered): "Sushi" doesn't mean raw fish, it's often made with cooked fish. Or no fish at all. It's the way the rice is made that qualifies it as "sushi".
Having to work for money, too obvious?

-People who make you feel guilty: I know I did something wrong stop rubbing it in my face.
-The commonly asked questions. . .What are you majoring in? I don't know. Are you getting married soon? I'd have to be dating someone first: Why don't you ask me how I AM! How I feel How I'm doing?
-Moldy cheese: Cheese is already rotten why does rotten go moldy?

-Parent's on facebook: And you said I was addicted. . . .

When people say/post "That awkward moment when..."
People who update their facebook more than twice per day, or just facebook in general.
And just because I actually like the Kardashians, I'd like to suggest Kris Humprhies.
Also, I second Jersey Shore, Snooki, chocolate chips, the DMV, talent shows, one word texts.
oh! You are divine! I second third and fourth the "checkings" thing. I work at a Credit Union and I hate that!
Deletehad to add…
ReplyDeletepeople who think they know how to drive in the snow, just because they have four wheel drive (for some odd reason I laugh when I see SUVs spinning out of control… I'm rotten I know)...
people who think they know what's best for me, and therefore criticize my major…
last but not least insects… in any form… period (I just had a bad encounter with one today which I had to blog about…)
A hearty Amen to everything on the list except for numbers 10, 13, and 20.
ReplyDeleteAlso consider adding:
Vaguebooking
The name "Nevaeh"
Hipsters - particularly the ones who claim to be nerdy because they wear fake glasses.
Group projects
The phrase "I could care less"
Unnecessary apostrophe's (see what I did there??)
Way late to the game as I recently discovered your wicked blog - I agree with everything above (except chocolate chips, duh) and MUST add: any saying that begins with "Keep Calm and..." Paleez!
