Top 10 List: from my hometown in Chicago, Illinois

For entertainment only... apparently my next post has been long awaited!! :)

Christina's Top Ten Least Favorite Things
(I would have started with most favorite, but that's less entertaining)

10. Things that stink, or even remotely smell bad. I think I can smell mildew on a sponge 30 seconds after it is used...
9. Bananas. It's not the taste, it's the mushiness. So then you'd think I'd like things that are banana flavored... but you'd be wrong. Because that just makes me think of the mushiness.
8. Mayo- don't even bother offering me anything that has mayo on it, in it, or that has ever been touched by it. Scraping it off is not an option.
7. Cleaning. Please note that this is completely different than organizing. Organizing: putting pretty dishes in their own place, next to the other, matching, pretty dishes. Cleaning: scraping wiskers off of the bathroom sink, and wiping pee marks off the toilet seat.
6. Walking in the rain, snow, or any combination of the two. Especially when it's a combination of the two.
5. Cleaning the left over food bits out of the strainers in the kitchen sink. Ugh!! It's all stinky and soggy and gross. I realize that this probably is included in my general dislike of "cleaning"... but I hate it so much, it deserves it's own spot on the list.
4. Walking barefoot on my freezing cold bathroom floor first thing in the morning, then getting sprayed by freezing cold water because the showerhead is pointed straight at me and there is no way to turn on the shower without spraying it all over the bathroom. Therefore, my first word of the morning is generally a swear word.
3. Add-ons (i.e. patients I have to see at a moment's notice because a: it's an emergency (least likely), b: the patient didn't bother to show up for their genetics appointment, so now the doctor thinks I should just "fit them in" while they're there for their ultrasound, or c: because someone else doesn't feel like doing their job, so I have to do it for them (most likely)
2. Rude house guests. Don't get me started.
1. Boogers on a nightstand. And I'm not talking about mine.

Hahaha. I love your list. I agree with most of them, however I'd like to change cleaning kitchen drains for cleaning shower and tub drains. Makes me gag...and I'm not even the one doing it! Usually I make Mitch do it!

Hey Hemi! Yes I totally agree with the list, though I do not share your same attitude toward bananas, I am very picky when it comes to the consistency of the banana's I consume. And I generally do not like "banana flavored" things. I can especially relate to cleaning of drains per Amber, and also the cleaning pee spots off the toilet seat, a gross, but frequent task.
