hehe, you don't like Oprah, or you don't like that man jumping on Oprah's couch?
smoking is definitely on my list.
And rabid dogs. I'm going to come out on the anti-rabid dog side.
Zoe:
Don't like the Couch Jumper. :-)
And rabid dogs would make my list too. LOL!

1. When I say "thank you" and the person I've said it to replies, "Uh huh."
2. Orientate.
3. Closed mindedness.
4. When someone talks and their voice goes UP at the end of every sentence like it's a question.
Oh my, I could go on...
amy:
Spoken like a writer . . . I love #2.
LOL!

I'm with you on crowds, litter, rejections...but man that cigarette looks good. It's been 28 weeks for me!
I hate it when novelists make glaring errors that would have taken two minutes to research. If you don't know about something, and you're too lazy to look it up, then don't write about it!
First here.
Then here.
Tom Cruise is scary. I used to like him but now I can't watch any of his movies without cringing. I just can't separate his acting from his off-screen actions now.
And smoking is at the top of my list.
Jude:
DON'T GIVE IN!
Stephen:
If I started with George W., I would be off on a tangent from which I would never recover. Suffice it to say, my father, when he stays with me, rises each and EVERY morning and asks me, "Is the bastard dead yet?"

Caryn:
It's at the top of mine, too. I just hate the smell.

I hate being around people who smoke. I can't stand it. They make my clothes smell. A few months ago, someone came in and was smoking in the LAUNDROMAT! Hello?
What is #5? I don't have my glasses on, so it looks like a pathway and rows of pretty pink flowers. Or a train station?
PS: I'm starting to adore your father.
Have you seen the show Mad Men on AMC? It's set in the early sixties, when the entire country was one big smoke-a-rama.
Those were the days. ;)
Hi Spy:
#5 is the poultry industry. It could just as easily be beef . . . veal . . . pate and the poor geese.

Yup, I hate fast food, smoking, litter, close mindedness, group think, cancer, and I don't know what that fifth picture is, but I probably hate that too!
Cigarettes (and the workers who stand right outside the door of the supermarket smoking so we have to walk through their smog)
Crowds
Loud noise
Bigots
Puppy mills
Eminate domain
Peppers & Onions

Erica, I'm married to a smoker and absolutely dislike the addiction. Hubby uses a smokeless ashtray at home, but when he comes home from work his shirts reek of it. And did I mention I have sinus/allergy issues? Don't get me started. Here's some more...
Child abusers/pussy laws that protect them.
Narrow-minded thinking
ulterior motives
pollution
hate groups
crooked politicians
Oh, and I hate when people drive around with their radios blasting, as if everyone wants to hear their music. Unless it's classic rock. Then it's okay.
I don't like the couch jumper either.
Haven't been here for a while. Hugs to you while you're transitioning. Keep in touch with the children as often as you can (though you don't need me to tell you that). They'll need to feel like the move is adding to their lives, not subtracting.

Alyson:
Poultry industry. Hate it.
E
Aimless:
With you on all of 'em. :-)

ladonna:
With you there.
And I don't know if I could hack being married to a smoker--or even dating one. I think as non-smoking is more the "rule" in restaurants and public spaces, I am around it less and less and therefor HATE it more when I am near it. I'm so unused to it.

Jude:
I play my music loud. I roll up my windows in residential areas. Otherwise . . . LOUD! LOL!
E
Chris:
I am SO grateful that we are very, very close. So . . . I think we'll weather it OK. We talk all the time.
