Things I Don't Like

[Greensprout]

The stupid sound of saying "Good afternoon" outside of a formal setting.  Especially when it is delivered as "good *AF* ternoon".

Sehr gut, but then how much was the shipping?  And how does that work in the hot season?  I used to manage on one (little) square of their regular plain (50% cocoa) dark a day (by far the best dark of any major maker), and I will again someday if I have to.  I at least need one square for after I [cough].  It is my post-nookie cigarette.

Individuals and groups of people who stand in narrow corridors of foot traffic and block the flow, oblivious to the world around them.

Or stop at the top or bottom of escalators.

I would liken Ritter chocolate to a McDonald's burger. It's not great, but it certainly is not the worst thing out there. 

Ritter Chocolate with the hazel nuts and raisins………...

Nice choice. I'm not a big fan or Ritter, but it seems like a pretty nice hunk of candy for the money.

I don't like the sight, taste, smell, or texture of mayonnaise. Also not fond of gum or loud people. Close-talkers are very annoying. My nightmare is somebody talking too loud, right in my face, while chewing stinky old gum, with leftover mayonnaise sticking to the corners of their mouth.

I think we have a winner

Cashiers who see your white face, seal their mouth like a clam, and lean *way* around the cash register with their little arm to point at your purchase total. Honey, I'm not the one with a deficiency here. Usually I look at them as if puzzled and deadpan คุณเป็นคนใบ้หรือครับ  (You're mute?)

Maybe they get tired of stating the price and waiting while people with while faces just stand there bewildered.

Possibly.  Not likely.  Not many whities in this town at all.  And what visiting adult would not automatically look at the cash register themselves if they did not understand?  Does a visitor think she is saying "What do you think about the political situation in the US?".  Common sense is more present in front of the counter than behind. No, this widespread thinking (or rather lack thereof) and behavior are engrained from culture, not learned from experience.

Shirtless guys in public - Agreed when anywhere other than the beach, wish I could at the beach but, too unsightly, the six-pack said bye a number of years ago, the flatness gave way to a 'dad pouch'...  which gave way to 'love handles'....  

 

People covered in tattoos - Never bothered me in the slightest - someone wearing their feelings on their arms may be more trustworthy than those who don't (I dont have a tat btw) - judge each on their individual merits but tats do often hinder that for the less open minded.

 

Guys with mousers or beards - I have  beard now, kind of suits me... (it gets to this lenght (1cm in about 10 days, so It gets chopped quite regularly, then trimmed, then chopped).

 

Queue jumpers - 100% agree, no tollerance at all for these.

 

Vehicles, mostly motorbikes riding against the traffic - 100% agree, no tolerance.

 

UK Labour governments - 100% agree, no tolerance for this outfit.

 

Guys who  were never enlisted wearing medals and other bling - 100% agree, full respect for those to give their freedoms for ours.

 

People clinking glasses and saying "cheers" - 50/50 on this, I can do without the clink, but like a good old 'cheers mate'... 

 

Illegal immigrants - Illegal yes, but I'm all for working and functioning immigration, our family Dr was an Indian Immigrant and was brilliant.

In that case... the excessive price of Royce Chocolate in Thailand !!!

After visiting Japan for many years...

 

The obscenity of the 'bum gun' vs the 'finesse' of the 'warmed freckle sprinkler'....  accompanied by the sound of chirping birds....

Oh, I really thought I had read this in Things That I Like.  Too bad.  Oh well. Come to my town.  Unlike other places, guys here are loathe to take off their shirts.  What a bore.

I never thought Royce was all that. 

 

I'm a See's man myself, and have been longer than I can remember.

Gals with large breasts.

Actually, pretty much gals in general.

So you like to see shirtless guys walking about in public with their big titties and fat bellies? Whatever turns you on.

"our family Dr was an Indian Immigrant and was brilliant."  That's great, immigrants in any country are fine as long as they are legal and contributing to the country's economy.

Great post, thanks a lot.

Did you see this as a 'say you are homosexual without actually saying you are homosexual' challenge ?

Thai men in Russian men's hotel rooms that cut open luggage and steal cash and valuables.

Ordering an Irish coffee and the cream is not floating.

Other than that,  it's mostly ok in Thailand.
