A few things I can't stand; the overly religious, people without substance, the white trash, George W. Bush, Bush's cabinet, bigots, people who give up/give in, bad music, shitty instruments, gross food, gross/expired beer, failing, sunburns, annoying kids who go to shows, smoking, most laws, old burnt out people, and of course ugly babies (It's so disappointing.)
