This post, no doubt, will make me come across as a spoiled American, but that’s alright.  I’ve been feeling more and more like a spoiled American lately, so there’s no harm in you thinking that too.  Anyway, the other day I was driving and that stupid gas light turned on.  You know the one that means you should have already gotten gas?  So, I started thinking about how much I hate getting gas.  I don’t know why, but for some reason I can’t stand it.  Everything about it drives me nuts, and it seems like I’m always doing it.

So, I’m driving, looking at this gas light, thinking about how much I hate to get gas and I start thinking of the other mundane things that we all have to do at some point in our lives.  (And I know they are different for everyone because I actually like mowing the lawn and I know people that hate it.)  You know the stuff.  The things you mumble under your breath when you’re doing, “I hate (fill in the blank)”.

Well, for your Sunday reading pleasure I’ve come up with a list of five, yes five, mundane things that I hate to do.  Things that most people would make fun of me for hating to do and then they’d walk away calling me a spoiled American.  Are you ready?  Now, I fully expect you guys to buck up and let me know you’re things too, so here we go.

1:  Getting gas (As stated above)

2:  Entering my PIN number when I use my ATM card… (Especially gas pumps)

3:  Picking up dog poop.  (If I have to explain this, you’ve never owned a dog.)

4:  Hanging Christmas lights.  (I’m actually getting better at this one, but for some reason I always choose the coldest night of the year to decide to do this and more often than not the lights don’t work.)

5:   Preparing to paint.  (You know, the taping off the windows and doors making sure nothing will be touched when I slap on way too much paint.)

So there it is folks.  My top five mundane things I hate doing.  And really 3,4, and 5 are just annoying, I don’t really hate them… but I’ll never waiver on my dislike for pumping gas.

Your turn.  Ready?  Go.
