Really negative people, debbie downers, constant complainers.

"Hair Metal" music

Okra of any preparation.

"Mixologists". I don't want a cucumber/basil/yogurt vodka drink, just give me a proper bartender who knows the basic drinks, and makes them well.

No sir.

I have heard that Duke's is the best out there, but luncheon lubricant is just not for me.

I once rode my crotch rocket, while wearing sandals, up to the corner store to get some Duke's mayo.
Ok. The mayo part I embellished.

I know I’m definitely old and crotchety, but I can’t think of anyone besides my wife or my kids.

Even of the friends I’ve had for years, I say “No thanks” when they want to have a multi-day getaway.

Have you tried Duke's? I never liked Mayonnaise and I went decades without having mayonnaise in my fridge. Then, I tried Duke's and I always have Duke's on hand or on my grocery list.

Kewpie. Japanese mayo. When you need the texture and a hint of sweet for something instead of the tang.

Also, mayo the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich when using a frying pan. Super good.

Finally, Alton Browns use of Dukes.

How about a thread about stuff we dislike, with greater or lesser intensity:

Mayo (top of the list!)
Jazz (where's that needle so I can stick it in my eye?)
Classical music (OK, I ain't very classy)
Crotch rockets (dead man ridin')
Gout
Sandals (too vulnerable)
Dull knives (and I have a bunch)
Bats (pretty much terrified of them)

if permitted,

mayo, Dukes, Miracle Whip is the devil
Jazz, love it, was brought up on it, and still like it,
Dull Knives,, was a butcher, know how to take care of that
sandals, like Flip Flops, love them in the summer
Classical, take it or leave it, wife likes it now and again,

gout, never had it but hear is sucks balls
Crotch Rockets, from those I know that had them, band aids are not big enough,, and yes eventually you will need them

bats, love the little mosquito eating machines, esp like watching them in the evening at sundown zipping here and there across the lawn eating the bastards

good cheeseburger, lettuce, onions (grilled if available) and Mayo, Dukes if possible, is a damn good meal

Mean people
Inattentive/unaware drivers
Obama's voice !!! MUTE!!!

100% agree about gout. And may I add neuropathy and arthritis to that.

People who bitch too much.
Ailments of old age
Stupid people
Inflation
Taxes
Bamboo under the fingernails, and sharp sticks in the eye.

Probably number 1 on my list


Pajamas in public

Aging.
"...beats the alternative." I'm not entirely convinced.

This is my daily struggle for the last thirytish years.

People who have—and express—strong opinions concerning things about which they are totally and willfully ignorant: I.e., stupidity.

There are many other things that annoy me, but I try to let that annoyance affect me as little as possible. Willful stupidity, though, is in its own special category.

Micro-managing bosses
Nosy neighbors

Wet cardboard, touching it skeeves me out.
Assisted driving tech. I know what I want and when I need it. Throwing the wheel around because the paint is hard to see is not helpful. Figuring out where the road is in a blizzard would in fact be helpful there Hal.

It is back and it sucks.

Those stupid phones with the screens.

Don’t miss those at all. Hydrogen peroxide works pretty well as does a wet towel laid over them to moisten them to ease lifting off. You are fortunate to have children to assist.
