People who talk on cell phones while they're in line at the grocery store - or Costco.<br />3. Paper towel dispensers that dispense either a bunch of towels or shreds of towels - and tear up your knuckles.<br />4. Movie theaters that try to be a restaurant, too. <br />5. Parents who allow their children to run around in public places like restaurants and dept. stores.<br />6. Parking spaces for "New Parents." They're young . . . let them walk.<br />7. Men who talk so loudly in restaurants that everyone else has to shout to be heard.<br />8. People who play music in their cars with the bass turned up so that I feel it in my body.<br />9. Trainee cashiers in the express lane.<br />10. Ambiguous traffic signs.Verna Wilderhttp://vernawilder.typepad.com/wild_heart/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-73598363434750869702014-08-26T08:40:29.117-07:002014-08-26T08:40:29.117-07:001.

Sorry.<br />Here's what I hate: a stopped up toilet. Right now I hate that with all my heart. Also Evangelical Christians and any religion that calls itself the "real one." My inability to do what things I need to do. Crowds. Intolerance. Hateful people. Abuse of children. (All kinds.) Anything to do with doctors or hospitals. Anxiety and fear.
