Okay, Here’s your chance to let us know what things you dislike on a purely irrational basis. I’ll start: BROCCOLI. I Hate this stuff. I don’t like anything about it. Very small dogs: Can’t we call these creatures something other than dogs?.. A 6 lb walking mop does not qualify as a dog in my book. Shoes with those tassells on them. men’s underwear. What’s the point? twinkies So let’s hear it, What are those things that Just Aren’t Right? ---

Michael Jackson. Oh yeah - and oddly enough, Kiddie Porn. ---

Finding white hairs (not gray, i’m talking about pure, blindingly white) on my head when I’m only 32 years old, for crying out loud. Just this morning I found three of them, and they were quite long, indicating that they had been there for a while. Now that’s just not right. I’m so depressed. ☹ ---

I’m so depressed. ☹ How about finding white hairs on my head full of black hair? I’m only 21, and this has been happening since I was 17 or 18! ☹ :o ---

The twins that I know, I only like one of them. I dislike socks, but I wear them anyways, most of the time. I abhor the word “phlegm.” I re-use toilet paper. ---

Twinkies are an abomination on society. So are ho-hos, ding dongs, and any other strangely named prepackaged baked good with a shelf life that exceeds the time it takes me to reach adolescence from birth. ---

Wow, **lilbtagna** , I’m sorry to hear that. I would have really freaked out had that started happening to me at that age. But, that doesn’t really make me feel any better about mine. Although, **NoClueBoy** ’s post did manage to make me momentarily forget about my white hair with his post about reusing toilet paper. :eek: WTF?! ---

Finding random, single hairs, of the sort that grows out of the top of my head - loooong ones, growing out of the top of my left shoulder. So far this has only happened to me once and it was but one hair, but WTF? ---

> [@DeaganTheWolf](#): > > men’s underwear. What’s the point? I’ll stop wearing underwear when office-acceptable pants stop having zippers. Until then, the dangly bits are getting the extra layer of protection. ---

Gunslinger found a single white hair on my head last week. Brilliantly white. And I dye my hair, and the white hair was much longer than the grown-out natural-color part of my roots, so I have concluded that white hairs grow three times faster than regular hair. I blame it on job stress. ---

Except I’m a couple of years older. I’m getting a white streak. ☹ Apparantly, accorrding to some very nice people, its unacceptable on a head of black wavy hair, and the white hairs should be told to stop immediately. ---

On the subject of food, and I use the term very loosely, that isn’t right; - Vegemite, Marmite or anything remotely similar - Uni (sea horse in a sushi restaurant) - Beer that isn’t ice cold - Chicken or fish on a pizza - Pizza that doesn’t require folding to be eaten - Well done steak. If a good vet can’t make it moo, it is overcooked. ---

Small dogs. They’re really mutated rats, I know it. SUVs in the city (you’ll be offroading when?). People who use trucks, but never haul anything other than groceries. Onions. Artificial raspberry flavor. Shoes. Being sick. ---

Hummers (NOT THE PHYSICAL KIND, THE CAR/TRUCK KIND) - they’re always clean and, let’s face it, for $100,000 wouldn’t you rather spend it on something else? The smell of really bad, morning after been in a bar drinkin’ all night men (I work in retail and deal with many men a day). People who start sentences with “but”. People who consistently leave their animals for 10-12 hours at a time (I’m talking dogs and the guy across the road from me (unofficially known as the happy horker) which brings me to my next one… guys (and girls) who make that really gross, throat clearing sound and then spit… authors who change the appearance of the cover of a book and I buy it, start to read it and realize it’s just merely a new cover! that sound that people’s eyes make when they rub them really hard…I have to leave the room… ---

Eggs and milk–unless they’re cooked in something. Can’t stand the taste or texture of either. Just plain nasty! People who pick their nose in public (usually while driving.) If you really have to do some nasal irrigation, kindly keep it out of my sight! I have to second the hocking sound. I work with a guy who can’t have a conversation with you without doing that several times throughout. The man is a human wet vac. I just want to gag everytime I hear it. The expression, “my bad”–I don’t know why, but it just bugs me. ---

Artificial banana flavouring (used in cheap sweets) is just wrong, no banana ever has or ever will taste anything like that. goatse.cx was just plain wrong, but the powers that B got rid of it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-that-just-arent-right/224520.md?page=2)
