There are certain things about today’s world I dislike. Then there are some things that I hate. And then there are SOME things that I wish were eradicated from the space/time continuum. Such as:
1) Cell phones…I know, I’ve heard all of the arguments. What a convenience! What a safety feature! What a wonderful way to stay in touch! Except, what’s the point of staying in touch? I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been in a store and overheard some big cow on a cell phone saying,” Where are you, I’m in the bread aisle. Oh, you’re in canned goods? I can’t see you.” Well, get the hell off of the phone and go find him, bimbo. And even worse, people driving down the road and talking on a phone…WHAT could they possibly have to say that’s so important that they can’t wait till they’re stationary? Humanity made it all through history up till this point without being on the phone 24 hours a day. And even worse than worse, the people who think they have to speak in a dull roar and share with everyone around them the details of their dreary lives…GET OVER IT! Which sort of brings me to number two on my list:
2) Reality TV shows. I don’t care who you are, no one’s life is that interesting. I don’t care about your emotional crises, the twists and turns of your love life or if you hate your best friend. These shows are like a slow brain cancer, you can just see them eating away at the collective intelligence of the human race. 10 more years of this shit and we’re ALL going to look like Tori Spelling. And if that’s not scary enough, we’ll all have her IQ. Blow up your TV!
3) Sweat pants. In theory, these were a really good idea. Just imagine being out somewhere and seeing some hunky guy going commando in sweats, his meat flopping around and being outlined by the jersey fabric, then when he’s walking away watching the fabric mold to his melon shaped buns and define his sweet crack. Well, welcome to the real world. Usually sweat pants are stretched over an ass approximately as broad as the wearer is tall. And if there’s any meat flopping around in the front, you’d never know because the pants are in size “King Kong 1x” and even if you were John Holmes your dick would be lost in the folds of fabric. They’re ugly, they’re un-sexy and I don’t care how “comfortable” they may be, they make you look like a clown. Abolish them! But, you know what’s worse?
4) Basketball short. Where in the hell did this fashion come from? Ugly baggy shorts made of cheap fabric that only comes in one unflattering length. Why not just give yourself do-it-yourself plastic surgery if your goal is ugliness? 99.99% of the human race looks like an idiot wearing these things and since they’ve been popular, I’ve only noticed on guy who looked good in them. Of course, he was about 18, the shorts were comparatively close fitting and he had a thick dick that was about 8 inches soft flopping around under them. But he would have looked good walking around in a body bag, so there you go!
5) Hip hop music. The equivalent of aural rape. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s shit. Banal lyrics in doggerel rhymes, set to music that makes you want to jab a fork in your ears. And seeing older artists and white artists trying to be current by participating in this crap is more than a little sick making. Does anyone think that George Gershwin, were he alive today, would be enthralled by hip-hop? He’d probably be borrowing the fork I just finished jabbing myself in the eardrums with so he could have his turn.
6) Hover rounds…you know, those electric carts that people with disabilities ride around in. Except, that’s not how it really is. Every time you see one being used, it’s by some big old monstrous creature whose ass is so big it practically drags the floor. Being fat is not a disability, get up and walk! If you need a hover round to get around the store because you’re so obese that you can’t walk, you shouldn’t be out buying more food in the first place! Leave the hover rounds for people who have a legitimate disability and exercise your big ass by walking for a change.
7) Saggers. Does anyone really think this is attractive? Walking around with pants so low that your boxers are on display and you have to walk like you’re suffering hip displacement? Sure, if you’ve got some cute, perky little buns, I’ll look. But, I’d rather see them encased in a nice tight pair of 501’s and not have to watch you walk around with the grace of a Neanderthal. What’s even more amusing is when a habitual sagger is wearing a pair of reasonably well fitting pants and still walking with their legs akimbo and clutching their waist band. And white boy saggers, now come on!
8) Hunters. There once was a time when a man provided for his family by going out, killing something and bringing it home to eat. Then, god created supermarkets. Very few people, unless they live in Bugfuck, Montana or Eastjesus, Wyoming aren’t able to get food from a store. But still, you’ve got all of these idiots running around with guns and slaughtering innocent creatures. I don’t care, it really doesn’t matter how many animals you kill, it doesn’t make your dick any bigger. I know a lot more people who I’d like to see with an arrow through their heart or gnawing their leg off in a leg hold trap than any single animal I can think of. One of the highlights of my day, every day, is watching the herds of deer come through my yard with their babies…then I go out into the real world and watch a the herds of pimpled greasy slobs and their ill mannered heathen children running rampant everywhere else. I’ve been reading a lot about the increasing number of fatal attacks by animals against humans…hopefully, someday the scale will balance out!
Idiots who don't pause to consider other contrasting opinions, and who refuse to think for themselves
Fanatics.
Mass media who are convinced the majority of people are airheads, and hence, provide programming which effectively dumb down the masses even more.
Michael Bay movies.
Manufactured music, teen pop, singers who whine about their exes, synthesizers and autotune. They're killing real talent and good music.
Apple cultists and hipsters
I wholeheartedly support you on hiphop/rap, hunting for sport, reality TV and saggers!
I would add people of whatever political stripe who think it is SO cool to be super-patriotic that they feel entitled to put down anyone who suggests that our nation has not reached absolute perfection, either now or in the past. The United States has both historically and currently made many mistakes. We have also gotten MANY things right. But totally ignoring the negative is a form of disservice to what, I also conclude, is the best attempt at good government in the history of the world. Consider this question: What ever happened to humility as a virtue?
I absolutely hate ROBO CALLS. Receiving a call from within my own telephone area code sometimes draws me to pick up the phone thinking it might be someone I know whose telephone number I don't recognize. But, as happened tonight, I answered the call and could immediately tell it was a robo call - there was a momentary delay in the voice coming on line. That perky little voice that said "hi! this is Sarah with xxxx...." The recorded voice got that far and I simply hung up.
I have to brace myself because the election season is coming on... and there will be many robo calls seeking money or my vote... These things are an infernal creation that does nothing but irritate the devil out of me. And any robo call from somebody trying to get me to buy something from them have just about a guarantee that I won't!

(1) Facebook. I dislike it immensely. It does not respect privacy and I really do not have the time to read about one's last visit to the bathroom. For me, it is totally irrelevant.
(2) "Talking heads." I hate all the newscasts where a panel of supposed experts with varying points of view on a topic are supposed to be discussing with others the topic of the day. They are always time bound - so a panel of 3 people might have a grand total of 3 minutes of fast-paced chit chat. But the chit chat is always over-talking each other. There typically are 4 people (including the facilitator/host) all talking at once. They will cut each other off in mid-sentence. These are the most insane forms of learning anything about a subject one could ever devise.
There are others but these two come to mind at the moment.
