Things Not To Like

[A short List] Weeds, with roots reaching for China. Poison Ivy, hidden among the blossoms. Wasps, perching above, to dive bomb as you walk through a door. Mole runs, zigzagging across the lawn. Socks, working their way downward, with each step. Dogs, who won't stop barking. Wet dog smell, after a walk in the rain. White pet hair on black slacks. Unwashed bodies, camouflaged by perfume. Shoppers, who hold up the line, while they go back for a forgotten item. Chain smokers, in closed quarters. Back bumper huggers. The price of gasoline.
