HFTL #1

I really loved Nick Hornby's book "High Fidelity." I'd link to it for you but I'm, well...lazy. Anyway, read it. It's great. The protagonist in the book makes lists out of everything, and this is used to wonderful effect throughout the book. I'm not writing a book review here, so I'll just say that the lists are hilarious and important at the same time, and umm...ya. Read the book. Here is High Fidelity Tribute List #1.

Oh, please note that unlike the lists in the book, mine aren't likely to be well thought out, compelling, justified, or even defensible in any way. They aren't likely to be in any particular order either.

Top 5 "People" Things I can't Fucking Stand

1. People's laziness and lack of forethought becoming my emergency.
2. People who labor under the misconception that their priorities are, by default, my priorities.
3. People who think their morality is my morality.
4. People who are too stupid/brainwashed/lazy to formulate carefully considered opinions.
5. People who can't mind their own business.

I guess it's a little depressing that the first of what I hope will be many HFTL's is so negative, but well...it is. Whacha gonna do. The catalyst for this list is a song lyric that, for whatever reason, has been echoing in my head all day today.
