I absolutely hate sunny days. I REALLY hate walking out in the sun. It is hot, makes you sweaty and uncomfortable and gives you cancer. I have to close my eyes every time I have to go outside in the sun and that is really awkward. You can call me a sort of real life vampire, that would be accurate. I would rather walk in the heavy rain than to walk in the sunshine, though most people like it the other way round...
The sun is how we get most of our Vitamin D though.

When I got my mac book pro in 2011 they were still making them with a disc drive built in.
So I bungs in a disc transferred some songs to my mac.....then scratches head trying to
work out how to get the thing out!

Button on the side? Nope
Button underneath? Nope
Eject symbol on screen? Nope

Starts frantically looking at every symbol on the keyboard, should I press them all?
Will it break if I do?

I ended up leaving that disc in for nearly a week, than one day by accident, I
pressed this button with a little triangle on its side and out pops the disk!
Phew......

I thought it was the volume control button. :eek:
Wait! Discs come out again? :eek:

(Just kidding. I'm not that bad, even if I've been known to leave a disk in for a few years. lol)

OR they change the size of the packaging but the product weight remains the same "Smaller package to save the earth, same great amount of product!" Then, six months later, the weight of the product decreases. True story. I saw it happen when I was stocking shelves at a grocery store.
I know. I stopped eating cereal for a decade, and came back to it, right at the time they started doing that.

That sound that styrofoam makes. If you want to make me cry, just keep making that sound for fifteen seconds. It sends a chill down my spine just thinking about it. I need to stop thinking about it.
My cousin gets that heebeegeebee feel with velvet or peaches.

And, man! You'd hate the box of vitamins when they're shipped to us. I cannot understand, in this day and age, why anyone uses styrofoam anymore. It's not recyclable unless you take it back to an oil refinery.

I have a friend who will literally get sick to her stomach when she hears that sound for any length of time. (So she says, anyway, and I've found her to be truthful). Sometimes I wish I responded to sounds I disliked in that way...then maybe my brothers wouldn't do it just to annoy me :D
Balloons! Two older brothers and a mom who was the go-to Mom when schools or scouts needed someone to decorate for a party. She got us to blow up a whole bunch of balloons for some party, took them with her, and when the party was over brought a box of balloons about the size of an apartment-size-fridge box home. I was roughly the size of that box, so my brothers thought it would be funny to dump me in head first. (I thought it was funny too when they started.) Balloons popped all around me, and I've been scared of popping balloons ever since.

I hate popping balloons too. My Daughter loves to make animal balloons, she knows I hate the squeaky sound they make and I am afraid they'll pop, she thinks it's hysterical.

I can't stand the sound of people opening a cellophane bag. I don't like the feel of those microfiber cleaning cloths.

The sound doesnt bother me, but I hate it when it crumbles up and those
annoying little bits get all over the place and stick to everything.

What are some things that just drive you bonkers, but that other people either don't mind in the least or that they think you are off your rocker for getting upset about?
People thinking that someone asking for prayer and being ignored is a good thing makes me go AAARGH!

People who put clothes on their pet cats and dogs. The pets look absolutely miserable. I hate it. It's not cute. A cape when it is wet, okay, a kerchief, alright. But restricting clothes, just NO!!
When it was warm, our dog would not let us put anything on her : p But when it was cold out she was totally okay with us putting a sweater on her, haha. She was a min-pin, didnt have much fur and she hated the cold : p

And uhhh people who dont use their turn signal when theyre going to make a turn while driving. I lose alot of time walking to and from work waiting on people who had to slow down to turn because they wont use their turning signal D : <

You must not live in Los Angeles. Here a turn signal means 'pull up closer lest I get in front of you' ;)

Same here! THere is this one fast food chicken place (El Pollo Loco) that always puts their chicken in styrofoam containers and they squeak when driving around in the car because they are closed and I have to open them up so they don't squeak. :rolleyes:

I get aggravated when I have to go shopping for groceries. People, by and large, are so inconsiderate. Turn the corner to go down an aisle, and someone will be ahead of me, walking down the middle of an aisle, then stop right there...and stare at the soup selections like a monkey doing a math problem. No...don't have any spacial awareness...just stop right there and hold up traffic while you decide which brand of chicken soup you want...and then act shocked that there is someone around you or act shocked that you...just somehow wound up blocking the entire aisle.

That's the type of behavior that makes me do the bulk of my shopping, when I can, after midnight. At that time, I only have to deal with the other shut-ins, and the shut-is are far more polite and considerate than "normal" people.

That is exactly the attitude that is causing my wife and I to abandon L. A.

Aww, come on. You know you like this song. Our solar system revolves around it, after it. It's what keeps Earth from flying off into space- the gravity of the sun.

Well, you should. It's great. [video=youtube;FscIgtDJFXg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FscIgtDJFXg[/video]
Here's another version. It's upbeat. You know, there was a horrible disease little kids in the 1800s got, called Ricketts. It was due to not having enough sunshine. These little kids are the ones that had to work in factories from sun up to sun down. Their bones became deformed.

Sorry, this is not the type of music that I like, lol. At least you tried though.
