I wish my leg hair would disappear. Armpit hair, too. I could live quite happily never having to shave my legs or pits again. ---

Premature Ventricular Contractions. My cardiologist says they aren’t dangerous, but they feel downright weird, and wear me out. ---

Sweating…I hate smelling it and I hate doing it. Why can’t we just pant like dogs? I suppose it would be hard to drive with your heard out of the window all the time though. I think getting rid of back hair or ass sweat would be second on my list. ---

I make my living selling food, but I think eating is a huge waste of time. Tastes good though. ---

Earwax. My head makes so much of the damn stuff, it’s a wonder there’s any room for my brain what with the wax factory that has to be in there. I just want enough to fulfill the required function of insulating and protecting my delicate inner-ear structures, and that’s **all** I want. None of these semi-hard round brown/orange balls falling out onto my book or my shirt or my computer keyboard or wherever when I least expect it, please, thank you very much. Any of the other stuff people have mentioned, I can take it or leave it. That is, with the exception of a good, hearty bowel movement. I’m with ChiefScott on that one. ---

I have to go with sleeping. I’d actually be able to get a full time job, so I could actually support myself completely while in school. And have time to read. And cook just for the pleasure of it. Second on the list would be the growth of body hair. I’d love to not ever have to shave again.
