Bete Noire....do you have any?
B[^e]te" noire"\ [Fr., lit. black beast.] Something especially hated or dreaded; a bugbear.
Yeah, I have a few of those.
Some of have been around for years. For instance, I have an extreme adversion to writing the letter S. I don't know why I do since unfortunately, my name begins with an S. Oh! I remember, the teacher that taught me cursive writing was a ruler bearing witch who made sure that my S's were started at just the right point and ended at the right point. If not, I had to write pages and pages of "s's". To this day, I hate writing the letter S.
The smell and sound of someone eating corn nuts and Fritoes. It smells like a mixture between dirty feet and cow manure. (I do like the taste, somewhat, but the smell…peeyew!!) Also, just plain ol crunching with your mouth open. I have an office mate that has no idea that it sends me out for a walk until she's done eating. I so want to tell her to chew with her mouth closed!
People blowing their noses at the table…especially when it sounds all buggery like they need a suction to get it all out. That's a good way to get me to stop eating. Blow your nose and I'm done!
On the subject of noses, another bugbear (like my new word?) is when parents pick their toddler's nose buggies, yet, fail to wash their hands afterwards. Gross!
Also, I hate that my allergist looks up my nose. You've seen one runny allergy nose, you've seen them all!
Old people that fart in the same store aisle that you are shopping in. When someone else walks down the same aisle, I want to say, "It's not me, trust me, it's NOT me!!"
Speaking of stores…..I don't get why some parents will let their precious poopsie run around the store, knocking stuff over, running between clothing racks. I cringe when a kid has a tantrum at the checkout counter and the mom or dad appeases the kid by opening up cookies, chips, soda, gum, and candy only for the kid to continue screaming until he/she is outside the store. (I guess they wanted McDonald's instead?)
Why do people say, "You know what I'm saying?" when if I did know, then we wouldn't be having this conversation?
Do you have a bete noire?

I can't stand when people hock and spit. That is so gross. Someone didn that yesterday a few feet from me and I almost gagged.
Okay, why was I at the grocery store last week and I walked on this aisle behind this older lady and quickly brought my hand wo my nose. I mean GAG GAG GROSS! I'm with you on that!
2- People who can't be relied upon; one minute they are hot, the next they are cold.
3-Women who put a trillion colors in their hair: pink, mixed with purple etc... and insist on wearing super colorful clothing. The only person I've seen pull this off, is Kelis (the singer).
4- Bad blond weaves.
5- SUV moms.
6- People who smell bad, or don't use deodorant and have THE NERVE of getting on a crowded bus.
LOL.
P.S- I'm on a diet & when I saw the chocolate on your blog, my heart skipped for a brief moment.
:)
Chrisitine (What Now) mentioned your blog so I decided to stop by for a visit.
I guess if you pinned me down to my Bete Noire, I would say any child seated behind me on a flight, train, or in a movie theater.
Invariably the back of my chair begins bouncing and that agitates me. It only takes a couple of these before I stand up, look at the adult, look at the child and say, "STOP KICKING MY CHAIR".
Usually I try to avoid this by sitting elsewhere.
