Automatic Suspicion
This list is stuff I do not like. If you like some of this stuff, it doesn't mean we can't still be friends. My husband has like 6 of these. If you are offended because your favorite items are listed here, please go away and get yourself some nice water or something and calm down. I'm just some girl on the web. What do I know?
Dogs are better!

He was never funny and he's certainly not funnier now that he's dead.
God help me— I went to an arts high school and I have had enough of guys who make their own boots and call girls "wench" to last me several lifetimes, thank you very much.
This is one of the ones my husband does, though not so much anymorel.
Living in San Francisco, we see a lot of this. I know that Christianity (and most other religions, for that matter), corporations and TV have serious negative qualities, but I get sick of people bashing these things because everyone around them is doing it.
We also hear a lot of bitching about "The Man" in SF.
No, it isn't. Sometimes things just happen. Sorry.
Gross (Leo: sandals without socks are okay. Hee!)
"Oh, but they just PAMPER you, and the food is so good and there are always buffets!" Exactly. No thank you.
This usually results in a whole mess of dropped "r"s. I think it happens when people want to sound British or something.
Sorry, Dave and Shannon. And Arateva.
E.G., pastels
Bad and evil dust collectors... though I do love these. Sweet Jeebus!
You see a lot of these around the Daly City/ South San Francisco area. Brightly colored souped-up Accords and Civics with huge rear spoilers, usually driven by young Korean boys.
Arts Magnet High School is to thank for this. If you went there...you know.
See above.
They are just wrong.
At UT, the worst place for rape was the West End, where all the frats are. I have a friend who was in a sorority at Northwestern and she swears that it's a different situation up there. And my non-rapist friend Dave Meowovich was totally involved in his fraternity in college. Even so...
Please just jam a fork in my eye instead.
If you want to see a large public display of this, go to Florida. You will see signs for "Sallads" and "Hamburger's."
Not even remotely humorous.
Celine, Whitney, Mariah, and all to come
I dated a guy once who was 14 years older than me. All of his friends were about my age. Why didn't this clue me in? I'm not that bright.
I've given it a fair shake, and I give up.
Kitchy bastardization of something that I think has some actual meaning.
Very LCD and I don't understand why people respond so well to them. It is cool, though, when you're late for something because of something you should have done earlier but didn't, and you realize, "oh, a stitch in time really does save nine."
It is hard to go out to dinner with a vegan when you're not a vegan without someone feeling like they got shafted.
I saw Trekkies and changed my mind about Star Trek.
I used to be really anti-military, but now I think that the Coast Guard and Air Force are actually kind of cool.
Used to annoy me, but now I just think it's funny. AMEX was the worst. They wanted us to use "communication modules" to talk to each other. Oy.
I used to really dislike musicals, but the older I get, the more I just want to be entertained when I go out. I don't want to see some heavy drama about abuse or whatever. Plus, musicals are SO MUCH MORE FUN to be in than straight plays. You have no idea!... unless you do.
I'm not into it, but I'm not annoyed by it either.

in a band"
Again, see "corporate
speak."
