These are a few of my most hated things...

Well, I told you I would have reasons by Monday- I just didn't tell you which Monday. I'm tricky like that.

Some of my reasons are valid, some are mere annoyances. Let's go!

(oh, and these are more in order as I approach them during the day rather than in order of hate.)

10. The Starbucks drive-thru person. "Hello and welcome to Starbucks. I hope you are having a great morning. Would you like to try our new Slim Vanilla Latte today or maybe a piece of pumpkin loaf with only 200 calories?"
No. I do not. I would however like a moment to actually order my Venti Soy Chai. That's all. If there is anything else I will let you know myself. Not to mention I am on a time-crunch. I can never be on time. Please stop talking so I can order and hurry on to work!

9. Public bathrooms. Attention Dillards: you are only as nice as your bathrooms. You can pretend all day long you're Neimans, but as soon as I walk into the blah bathroom with limited amounts of toilet paper and possible gunk on the floor... I know you aren't. Thankfully, right by my area are the outside doors that leads to the side hall of the mall with the mall restroom. There is a lady who is always there cleaning. Always. She cleans the toilets countless times during the day, there is nice Origins soap and lotion available. The mall restroom is nicer than Dillards. This seems wrong.
And no I will not stop sneaking out the side door to use the mall restrooms. Clean your restrooms and maybe I will frequent them and stop sneaking out!
Oh, and can we please make sure there is always a place to hang my purse? And why must the doors swing in? I can't back up to allow for a door to swing in-- there is a toilet there! I try to avoid walking all over it when exiting a stall. Let the freaking doors swing out. Much easier. And please make sure that when I'm sitting, the toilet paper dispenser is not in my face. I do not find that enjoyable.

I guess this is going to be too long for one post. I'll post soon (maybe tomorrow!) with a few more that are a little more intense. Enjoy!

Favorite restrooms - Sak's at the Galleria. Big tall doors so you feel you have privacy. And they are clean. I understand totally. Hate questionable restrooms in convenience stores. Yuk.
