Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

Five things I cannot stand: (Notice we're talking "things" here, not character traits or actions)

Drippy faucets

Running toilets (ones that continually sound like they're filling)

Chick weed and other obnoxious weeds

Parsnips (and Beets)

Moss on the roof

 

Father, the curse of sin is far-reaching. One day all we know will be new. Thank you for allowing beauty to continue while we're here. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    LOL!
    Let’s see…
    1. Agreed, drippy faucets
    2. The way my present dog whines (in all the dogs I’ve had, never have I had one w/such a grating whine.)
    3. Rude people
    4. Laziness (the excessive kind)
    5. Noisy rooms
    A lot of my ‘can’t stands’ are noise related. I seem to have a great sensitivity to noise–more so than anyone I’ve met. Don’t know why. It’s just a fact.

    If we’re counting people, I’m with you on the rude ones. Add to them condescending and braggarts. Yeah, don’t appreciate laziness either.
    Not fond of noise myself, but I can do live Seahawks football which is magnified LOUD, maybe because I’m participating in that noise. And good rock ‘n’ roll. But if music and movies are too loud – there is a limit for my ears. Maybe I’ll do “noises” I can’t tolerate in a future Friday Five. 😉

    See…that, I think is the underlying problem to me. We all know the introvert vs extrovert stuff & I agree w/that.
    But on Fridays, when everyone is talking about what they’re going to do over the weekend (ie concerts, ballgames), I’m cringing just as much at the thought of all the noise as all the people.
    Good thing I don’t have a dog’s hearing. 😎
