Things I Don't Like So Much...At All...

Since some have asked (and since I've been posting those things that I do like), here, in no particular order, are some things that I've come to realize that I do not enjoy...
1. Flossing (though I do it daily...actually, multiple times daily...which may be why I don't like it).
2. Music by Tiny Tim.
3. Garbage Truck noise early in the morning.
4. Weeks when I don't have some time to be alone and recharge.
5. When people don't celebrate others' success.
6. Keyboards that have a key that's a little too hard to push. Sometimes my "A" KEY IS THAT WAY AND i OVERCOMPENSATE AND HIT CAPS LOCK BY MISTAKE.
7. Dried ketchup (or "catsup," if you like) collected around the mouth of the ketchup bottle. What's worse is catsup on the ketchup bottle...How'd that happen?
8. False humility (aka masked pride).
9. Theft.
10. Laziness.
11. Kimchi.
12. Driving anywhere for a long period of time.
13. Insecurity in leaders.
14. When a wrench slips off the nut or bolt head and your knuckles get bashed against something.
15. Sitting next to someone at a red light while they have their music up way too loud...So I turn up mine...Usually it sounds something like Biggy vs. Bach. (Bach, by the way, always wins...I mean, who will be listening to Biggy 300 years hence? No one. Point made. And yes, I know that few, other than me, use the word "hence" anymore...alas.)
16. Building kingdoms of our own instead of His Kingdom...Or worse still, building our little kingdoms and proclaiming them to be His. I mean, what part of "majesty" and "sovereign" do we not get?
17. The fact that few people read classic books. And by "classics," I'm referring to something older than the 1960's...much older...
18. Writer's block.
19. The fact that I can't paint well (I'm not talking about walls).
20. The reality that I let things bother me...
