Actually, let’s make it say what you _strongly dislike_. I want to keep this out of The Pit.
I hate…I mean _strongly dislike_…
consumerism
and a bunch of other stuff that I just can’t think of right now
come to think of it, I _strongly dislike_ it when I can’t think of stuff that I’m trying to think of.
oh, and lettuce on tacos. That’s just plain disgusting (conflicting textures).

Flashing, blinking, twirling, just plain distracting banner ads. No, goddamn it, I don’t want to punch the damn monkey!!
Deceptive ad’s made up to look like Windows prompts.
Java-enabled, Netscape crashing, bandwidth eating pop-up ads. Fuck you Geocities.
Porn sites with scripts that prompt search engine results no matter what your looking for. “We offer the best hardcore \*_piston engine_ photos on the web!!”. Fuck you!!

All of the above. Plus my History of American Journalism class, which had so much potential but was ruined by the instructor.

People on the other end of the phone who say, “you sound tired”, or “you sound sad”, when all I’ve said so far is “Hello”.
The way McDonald’s employees dump pounds of salt all over the food.
That Discover card commercial set in the ER.
Liver.
Those skeletal reindeer, draped with lights, that people are putting in their yards as Xmas decs.
IOW, nothing important.
BTW, I LIKE lettuce on my tacos.

- Getting appropriations for 20.000$ routers without problems, but having to fight every step of the way to get the 50$ cables. (“Have you checked alternate suppliers ? Can’t we build such cables ourselves ?”)
- Travelling to some of Germany’s greatest cities and then spend days and nights in windowless, noisy, airconditioned computer rooms.
- Filling out the paperwork for business travel.
- Arguing over said paperwork with some accounting number-butt who apparently considers this sort of travel a perk of some sort. Yes, I had breakfast from room service. That’s because I got up at friggin’ two in the morning! Sorry if that doesn’t jibe with your accounting templates.
Why yes, I just returned from a business trip, how did you guess ?
- Project leaders who fail to understand that giving one project a high priority means giving another a lower priority.
- Mentos commercials.
- Mentos commercials dubbed in German.
- Heck, any German commercial ever made.
- That I hurt my ex so breaking up. I really like her and now I can hardly talk to her for fear of making things worse.
I guess that’s it for now, but give me a little time and I’ll come up with some more.

You forgot to say, and a mere hour’s drive from Tracy, but oh, so far away!

Rap Music
Any kind of peppers
My job
Not having a woman in my life.
and a whole bunch of other stuff.
But what I absolutely despise (sp?) is women who like to play head games. IE: advertise on a dating website for a man and then tell you they don’t date.
