Smelly feet. Expecting me to support a shoe based lifestyle. Introducing me to idiotic friends, getting annoyed when I don't get along with them.

Smelly feet. People who repeat exactly what I've said, repeat conversations using what I've said, use what I've said word for word to start conversations with other people, or emulate my speech in an attempt to fit in. Parrots, essentially. I've met a handful of people who do this to myself and others, and I hope I don't have to meet any more. It's really annoying.

People who don't give others a chance to speak, who go into speech mode and stay in speech mode for several minutes annoy me.

Bigoted/racist views or other evidence of small mindedness and ignorance.

I actually don't have a lot of friends (no relationship to the above, haha). I have an army of acquaintances...some I guess I'd label as "close acquaintances"...but I just do not have the time or inclination to put in what I'd expect out of a "friendship" with more than a very few people. I guess it's how you define it.

Making friends is hard as an adult.

I realized after we moved out of our old neighborhood that most of our friends were just parents of our kids friends.

In our new place, being empty-nesters and all, it's been difficult just getting to know our neighbors. The dog that lives across the street tried to bite me yesterday. I've tried to befriend it, but without it's people to lend approval it's futile.

Like Nexa, I have three good friends (actually five, but I count couples as one unit), and then lots of acquaintances.

Why are you having trouble meeting your neighbors, Elinda? Nothing in common, or they're just not receptive?

I just don't interact with them. The houses are spaced far apart. We don't have pets or kids or much else in common. People don't stop by to borrow an egg.

I'm not totally unknown to them. The very-next door neighbors that moved into their house shortly after us we're friendly enough with and there's the very old exiled Massachusetts child-molester down the road (also moved in after us) that wants to be my husband's besty, but most others just don't seem interested in getting to know more people. Some are downright unfriendly, or perhaps skeptical of the 'new' folk that have come cutting into their forest to build these new-fangled houses.

I think EVERYONE but us on our road has dog(s).

Surely you could ****** with them? It's my understanding that is what one does there in Maine. I love watching that show, actually the show is terrible, I love watching Nexa watch it and roll her eyes.

Is that what does it for you, women rolling their eyes?

What would Freud say.

So when a man says, "Your eyes are stunning", he means it literally?

They don't want to know you because who can trust a person that doesn't have dogs?

Why would enslaving another mammal make someone more trustworthy?

They figure if you're willing to let a bunch of parasitic dogs mooch off you, you must be an easy mark and someone worth knowing.

Of course, all dogs go to heaven and all cats go to hell.

Well, except this cat of course...
