You’ve either said them or heard them but there is no getting away from the fact that they are just plain daft when you think about it!
Are you guilty of saying any of these things as part of a conversation? My guess is that you probably are but if not you are sure to have heard them said.
I am referring to the odd little statements people make about some of the things in life that most of us have to endure at some point in our existence on this earth so here is a run down of I don’t like statements we have either used or heard someone else say.
No kidding! I mean this seems like a given statement that none of us need to voice because unless you are an undertaker and earn your living through transporting the dead and their relatives to the church or crematorium, you can no doubt think of many better ways to spend a Tuesday afternoon! I have never met anyone that claims to love attending funerals or is overly enamoured by the thought of the whole death ritual so it’s no surprise that people feel this way. Making the statement however seems a tad obvious!
I think that this is probably a statement not often uttered by medical professionals otherwise it must be one huge pain to roll into work each day. For the rest of us however, there are plenty who make this statement and I always wonder what kind of reaction is the hospital hater hoping to get. Maybe they are hoping someone will engage in a healthy debate about the reasons why hospitals should be listed in the top ten short weekend breaks? Hospitals are often unpleasant because they remind us of illness and poorly relatives but a visit to the maternity ward to see the latest addition to our family is an altogether joyful experience.
You don’t say? Some people emphasise the statement by adding “really” into the statement to accentuate that their dislike of needles is significantly stronger than yours! If you add any blood into the equation the result is likely to be even more dramatic – possibly with some interesting facial expressions but it all comes down to the same thing. Piercing the skin with a sharp instrument is never going to be at the forefront of anyone’s hobby. Except of course if you are a drug addict and then I suppose these unfortunate individuals have got over their issue with the needle and just embrace it. People who have to inject insulin must be exceedingly brave and resilient so we shouldn’t really be advocating just how much we don’t like to have the needle.
Job interviews are my favourite pastime and I would do ten a day, if only I had the time. You don’t believe me do you? Well you shouldn’t do but come on, you have all heard people say how much they dislike interviews. Of course I cannot stand them because I worry about what to say and how I may come across but that doesn’t lead me to state the obvious. It’s life, we have to work and we have to pay the bills so get over it!
By sick, I mean actually vomiting not just feeling a little off colour. Do you honestly know anyone who can say that they love to vomit? I doubt it!
Yet some people still love to make the “I don”t like’ statement even though it is not exactly a revelation. I really do hate vomiting but I wouldn’t bother announcing this in a conversation even I was ensconced in a related topic purely because it is an assumption that no normal human in their right mind would enjoy being reunited with last nights dinner!
an entertaining article… well done! i liked it…
