MY OFFICIAL DISLIKES PAGE
commenced 2nd October, 2000
Well, for starters, I'm gonna try and make this page as unco-ordinated as possible, clashing colours etc. - after all it is a dislikes page. I'm even using white - now that's a rarity. If you look around my site there's little, if any, white writing - I just don't like white. White to me represents coldness and is devoid of all emotion. I don't mind other people using the "w" word - it does look nice - it's just not right for me. For example, I can admire a pristine sparkling white clean bathroom (maybe with a wee splash of colour somewhere) - it looks lovely and fresh, but it's not for me - not the white part. I can see this is gonna turn into a saga so I'll stop right here and get onto other dislikes.
Coathangers: It's actually cos of coathangers that this page has been born. Not 10 mins ago I was in my laundry - having an armful of wet clothes, I went to get a coathanger off the hanger thingy (raining today so I have to hang the clothes inside) and it got hooked up in the other eleventy hundred coathangers hanging there. I tried to wrench it free, no success. I tried wrenching a bit harder, still no success. (Mind you, I could've put down my armful of clothes and used two hands (as I'm always telling the kids to do) but no! - being the stubborn Taurean that I am, I had to persist and persist. Result, they all fell on the floor. I went to pick one up - I only wanted one, but the one I tried to pick up had another six tangled up in it. Back to square one, admit defeat, put down the washing, used two hands, untangle everything, hang up clothes.
Fumbling for keys: Does this only happen to me? It NEVER fails to happen. It's always night time. Get home, standing at the front door, fumbling in my bag for the keys - suddenly I need to go to the bathroom. Find the keys, can't find the keyhole. Really, really need to go to the bathroom. Still can't find the keyhole. I'm hoping nobody can see me dancing around the verandah. Eventually find the keyhole, open the door race down to the bathroom, but just in the nick of time!
