My list of loathings


This was good to do, putting together this list was a good way to vent, I guess. It was hard coming up with 100 things though, that's for sure. Though, I think everyone should do this some time. It’s cathartic in a way :) It's good to get it all out in the open. Good for the soul!


There are heaps of things that I loathe. Here's my list- in random order:

1. ppl not havin any manners and general rudeness – wot-so-ever! (tht includes the whole text/sms thng - refer previous post)
