I have experience with back pain, so i know what it feels…

However, for me, there’s nothing worse than…

1. People who are priviledged to an information on something about you, and instead of discussing such with you, they go ahead to use it against you. Especially when they are (supposed to be) your friend.

2. Body odour… I beleive this can be controlled and people who have this problem should really seek solution to it

3. Low libido (or momentary loss of sexual drive/interest) when you are in fact not impotent – what explanations have you got to give to the other party…?

4. The sound that comes from when someone uses his/her foot to drag a (bottle) crown-cock turned upside-down on a cemented/tiled floor….oh my God!!! Blocking my ears is never enough to protect me from the irritation I get…gush!!

Just that I can remember now…

Deon…”key element to success is luck or hardwork”… what’s up?

Never really had back pain so I cannot comment, my equivalent I think would be ear ache.
I can clearly remember having ear ache so painful , I sat crying and rocking myself back and forth for two hours while someone went out to find me something to help the pain.

Number 8… sometimes people need a ‘bringing down to earth’ when they get too big for their boots, a wake up call to spend more time with their friends, or just to let them know that they have changed without getting into anything serious.

This banter, teasing ‘bullying’ as you call it is the ideal way to do this, as an example:

One of ‘our’ friends at a particular stage of his life, due to his own choice, ended up with so much stress that he would wake up in the middle of the night and relieve himself… first he would lift the cushion on the couch, then stream his business and like a good little boy, ‘put the lid back down’.

Now this is extremely funny but very serious and he had to have councelling and managed to deal with his stress. To this day ‘we’ remind him of this especially when he ‘stresses’ a little too much about stuff.

It brings us closer, it eliminates the ‘nasty logic’ of conversation and is often funny. I do, however, know when to stop and never make fun of people with obvious physical issues.

9… there is nothing better on a Sunday than to start watching cricket, grand prix or golf as I am guaranteed a good snooze at least a good way into the first hour. I have no kids by the way so I guess I Iwon’t be doing this when I have them… you never know of course.

Now to the real stuff:

I absolutely hate:

1. People who look down on others because they are: a) Richer, b) More educated, c) Narcissistic, d) of a particular religion and absolute worst e) Employed by the government

2. People who efuse to try anything new or different from their norm and stay stuck in the ‘twilight zone’: New flavours or foods, different music, new thoughts on things, meeting different people, staying out later than they should.

3. Other peoples feet: I don’t do feet, I don’t touch them, I don’t kiss them or rub them, I do my best to stay away from the smell of them and I don’t wear other peoples shoes.

4. Want to see me throw up, ask me to clean up someone elses crap or vomit. I don’t have kids but I still struggled with my brothers kids.

5. Sardine milshakes take the cake, I can’t think of anything worse than that.
