How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

My List of Yuck

in Uncategorized on 09/12/11

It’s Monday morning and I feel ranty.  Instead of being all blue, I will just list, in no particular order, a variety of things that make me go Yuck…

~Baby toads held in front of my nose by 8 year old girls.

~Spiders so big they can only be killed with a hammer. 

~The slime in the bottom of the drain after you wash the dishes.  Shiver.

~Belly button lint. 

~Chronic Halitosis.  GO to the dentist, get some gum, brush your teeth? It’s not that hard.

~Black dog hair on the white ceramic tile.

~Sticky stuff found when you place your hands on the handle of a grocery cart.

~Smell of gas that can never be washed off your hands no matter how hard you try.

~”Estimates” to fix your TV that run in to the hundreds of dollars.

~People who lie.

~The end of summer…that brings the cold

Yuck.

Rant away.  What’s on your list of yuck?

      Dog hair everywhere is a definite yuck. His hair even gets into sealed containers.

      People in Russian spit on the ground constantly, so there’s always these big loogies to watch out for when you’re walking down the street – SO GROSS.

      And today??? I opened a package of chicken legs before putting them in Shake-n-Bake…wedged between the pieces was a giant squashed dead housefly. Buh-bye to that dinner.

      YUCK!!!!

      So with you on the spiders! I’m going to add people who do strange things in locker rooms–plucking eyebrows, sloughing callouses–save it for home!!

      People who yell at the girl in the drive thru window. Umm, if I can hear you in my car, you are obviously the one being rude!!! UGH.

      Animal hair — right there with you, except mine is cat and not dog.
