Everybody has a few things they love to hate.

Six Things I Love To Hate

By Phill Senters
July 20, 2009

Tailgaters!

Not the kind in the back of pickup trucks.

The kind in the rear view mirror!

Tables!

Not the ones at home.

The one next  to mine in any restaurant!

There’s always a loud mouth or some

disgusting crude blowing his nose…. Or both!

Neighbors

Not the kind with nice little lap dogs.

The kind with  dogs that bark  right outside my window

all night and I can’t  find their owner’s phone number.

Family/Friends

Not the kind who stay home and sleep at  night.

The ones that call at 2 or 3 AM from another state
needing to borrow money.

 Friends

Not the ones who use their own stuff.

The ones who want to borrow my truck or lawn mower.

Something always happens, and it’s never good.

Country Music Radio Stations

Not the kind that play real country.

The ones that play 60% rock, 30% commercials,

 a country song once in a while, and spend the

rest of the time bragging about  their great

 country station!

    Phill, You must frequent the same places I do, and you forgot to mention that loud mouth at the next table with the cell phone and the couple with the screaming kids. And what about the neighbor that plays the loud music all night? They are all bad neighbors.

    Thanks Ruby; I knew this would start everybody thinking about it and coming with suggestions.I said It was the table I hate because ALL those things go on at the next table every time. :) )

    The table is the one and Ruby is right about the cellphone – great list though Phill…. and any radio station that plays endless commercials and no music is definitely something I avoid ..

    I always knew we had more in common Phil, but without bragging my seventh is a manager who thinks he can do more than me in a specific time, but my like is when he makes a cock-up of the job; that really brings a smile on my face.

    Great write Phil

    Best wishes

    Good list! I have a long list of people that I love to hate but most of them are not real. I speak of some of the people on the TV shows that we hate to love. On Leave It To Beaver, everybody loves to hate Eddy. On Little House, everybody loves to hate Nelli Olson and her mother. The list goes on and on. Good write to stir the mind. Keep up the good work brother.
