#1 Dislike? People who flake out!
HA! Kidding. I am queen of the flake outs. But not today. My dislikes are pretty short so I thought I'd bang them out before the clock strikes 12 over here. EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE ONLY BE 11 - JUST SAYIN'!!!
Yeah, one of my top dislikes has to be Daylight Savings Time. Seriously. Why does this even still exist?
Hypocrisy is another biggie - people who say and do two different things. Although, yeah, sometimes I do flake out and I'm sure I could be guilty of this myself. I try not to flake out on the important stuff, though.
Close mindedness, hatred, bigotry, racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia. Vandalism. Intolerance. The usual horrible suspects.
And, now that I've gotten to witness it firsthand (sorry, Southern states, I have you to thank for this, I saw a lot up north but this wasn't part of it): hiding behind Christianity as an excuse to be crappy to other people. Hey, guess what. If you believe in God, know that He sees you acting like a jerk and He's considering some serious smiting.
Treating kids like accessories. I see this a lot now, too, and ouch. It makes me sad.
Dishonesty - although, in the interest of full disclosure, I'm totally guilty of mostly the white-lie variety, though I'm trying very hard to cut that shit out and simply be genuine. Even if that makes someone angry or uncomfortable. I'm an extroverted introvert so sometimes I want to flake out on plans at the last minute because I'm overwhelmed. But I'm trying to own it, so if I have to say, "Gee, that sounded super fun a week ago, but guess what? My kids have been fighting all night, I still haven't made dinner, my husband's running late, I got my period early and I really just want to sit home and hide. Can we try this again another time?" then so be it. Honesty is hard.
And brussell sprouts. People, I've tried. I truly despise them.
