Things you have an irrational hatred of

staying at someone else's house and they have some dumb ass stupid tv remote that I can't figure out to watch live tv...

I hope the astroglide doesn’t give you a rash. The Mrs will be suspicious after her hearty Big Beef and Cheddar.

I know leather couches are fancy and all, but man I hate those things

[JuanHamm]

Leather car seats are the worst.

Leather car seats are the worst.

I now won't buy a car without leather seats. Weird.

[Higgs]

But not much of a leather couch fan.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Yard sales

You should sell your actual yard so you can’t have anymore yard sales

They may actually take that as a compliment if you put it the right way

Here's something that bothers me about the English language. Very commonly you'll see something referred to as "one of the single most important [things]," "one of the single most amazing [things]," "one of the single most impressive [things]." And it bothers me because in my brain something should either be "the single most important thing" (emphasis on SINGLE, as in, it's exceptional and there is no other at its level), or "one of the most important things" (as in it's one of a group of greatly important things). To me they contradict each other, like you can't be both "one of" and "the single most." I think I'm the wrong one here because of how common "one of the single most" is, but it really bugs me whenever I hear it. It feels wrong!

Maybe try thinking of it like, something is one of the single most important things because while an attribute is the single most best, other things are single most better in other ways. And then if you combine all the single most best important things, you get something like Dino Megazord.

I would do that just so I didn’t have to mow.

no you're right, it's ridiculous

I think of the sense of it as: if you had a handful of those amazing things, you could still pick out THIS thing as uniquely amazing for its own reasons; it kind of wants to preserve the uniqueness of each thing rather than just ranking them all in a pile

but that's all a bit silly really
