I made a list of my favorite words, so I thought I’d do the same with my least favorite words and phrases.

1. Taxes. Not much explanation needed.
2. Insurance
3. Credit. As in credit cards. I hate them.
4. Politics
5. Consequences. If you choose poorly, you have to deal with the consequences.
6. Practice. Practice makes perfect? No. Perfect practice makes perfect.
7. Sin
8. Garbage
9. Litter
10. Telemarketers. They are probably nice people; I just don’t want them calling me.
11. Pre-authorization. Oh, the woes of the healthcare industry.
12. Diet
13. Debt
14. Misspellings
15. Cursing
16. Abortion
17. Selfishness
18. Impatience.
19. Certified. A word that has lost its meaning.
20. Vegetables. Only a few of them are good in my opinion.
21. Vomit. It’s what vegetables make me do…just kidding.
22. Sleeplessness
23. Slacks. What is the origin of this word? Here’s another thought…why is it plural? But then again, why do we refer to what we wear on our legs as “a pair of pants”? I digress though…perhaps I should cover that in another post, haha.
24. Representative. He/She is working in whose best interest? Mine?! Nah…
25. Senator. Ditto the above.
26. Citation. a.k.a. ‘ticket’
27. Road Construction Ahead
28. Political correctness
29. I forgot
30. He hit me first…
31. I didn’t do it
32. Annual Percentage Rate (If it’s my money, it’s always a low rate. If I borrowed money, the sky is the limit.)
33. Mortgage
34. Racism
35. Suit and tie
36. Dentist appointment
37. Cavity
38. “10 easy steps to…”
39. Out of order
40. Satan
41. Monday
42. Hackensack. It probably is a nice little town in NJ. It just sounds like something someone coughed up. Not my favorite name for a town.
43. Cough Syrup. It tasted gross when I was a kid and it still does.
44. Not Me… Apparently I have a 5^th child whose name is Not Me. He sure does get blamed for a lot of stuff…
45. Cialis, Viagra, Levitra and every other name for this junk. Can we please stop advertising it everywhere?!
46. Jughandles. This is a torturous East Coast, but primarily New Jersey traffic phenomenon.
47. Smog
48. Humidity
49. Time. I’m always running out of it.
50. Speed Limit. Where I live now, I’d be thrilled if people would at least drive as fast as the posted speed limit. I’ve never lived in a place where people drive so slowly, until now.

Everyone has words/phrases that they dislike…what’s on your list of the words or phrases that drives you crazy?
