10 for Tuesday: Things I Don't Like & Probably Never Will

Following along with Mali & Indigo Bunting ... and trying not to say Me too ...

  1. Green peas. They're just ... mushy.
  2. People who have all the answers. Most of them are wrong.
  3. Fruit in my beer. or my coffee. Not a fan of it in my tea or my chocolate, either.
  4. Minivans. It's not legally necessary for mothers with 2 or fewer children so don't judge.
  5. Scraping noises. (Covering ears, so can't type.)
  6. Trash anywhere but in a trash can. Little candy & lozenge wrappers drive me wild. 
  7. Short airplane flights. As soon as my ears get adjusted, we start falling out of the sky, albeit in a controlled manner.
  8. Large amounts of condiments on sandwiches. Doesn't matter what it is (well, okay, Indigo is right: Miracle Whip is gross), I just want a little. And the people at Subway, God love 'em, mostly don't get the meaning of  One thin stripe of lite mayonnaise, please. 
  9. Bric-a-brac. I used to love all those little knick-knacks on shelves and things ... Bluebirds of Happiness, figurines, etc., etc. More and more I don't. I don't like cleaning it, I don't like cleaning around it, and it takes up space I could fill with books. Priorities, right? 
  10. Micromanaging people. Whether it's employees, fellow volunteers, or my family, I want to be able to trust people to do what needs to be done without me hovering every moment of the day giving instructions and forcing focus. I prefer guiding and helping to overseeing and enforcing. 
If you like any of these things ... more power to you. Want my share?

With you on most of these! But especially fruit in beer. Or coffee. People do that?

FRuit in coffee sounds awful.

I wish I could stop micromanaging. It is a problem for me to let go.

Indigo Bunting said...

Good list. And I feel like we've bonded over Miracle Whip (which sounds a little dirty now that I've typed it).

There is an apricot beer I admit to being somewhat fond of...but it's rather the exception. I'm a bitter IPA gal.
