Such as, I really can't stand electric can openers... they kinda scare me... and they're unsanitary. How do you clean them? You don't. I'll stick with the handheld, hand operated kind.

Anyone else share this view? What about any other dislikes of objects? Share (:

I agree about both kinds of can openers.

And, people need to get new toothbrushes more often.

Really? Why do you say that? How often is often?
I think I tend to keep mine longer because for one, I take after my dad in that I save things for as long as I deem them useable, and for two, I don't want to give in to the marketing thing of "you need to renew it and give us more money when we say you do."

3 months for toothbrushes because the bristles get worn. I try to keep mine in the cabinet instead of on the vanity. Sometimes I'll throw them in the dishwasher to clean them. It helps to close the toilet lid before flushing.


I prefer handheld openers because they're easy to clean. Same with knives and spoons over processors. I guess I'm just lazy.

Maybe, maybe not. I would think for most people (or NTs) that the food processor and electric can openers are the more lazy options. I think of it as more of a cleanliness trait.
And now that you mention it, I never thought about the toilet lid thing. Now I'll definitely continue keeping my toothbrush in the cabinet. 8O

Whistling kettles: can't stand them.

I prefer hand held can openers too they're much easier too use.

electric can opener - I didn't know such a thing existed. That sounds scary. Sounds like something that might cut off your finger accidentally. Recently the cans that I buy always have this pull tab. So I haven't even used a manual can opener recently.

I don't like those outdoor plastic chairs. Somehow they look very uncomfortable. Just looking at them gives me a backache.

I also dislike those artificial flowers even when they are well-made and look real because they still somehow make the room look cheap and they also are infamous ugly duct-collectors.

Vacuum cleaners that don't have an obvious on off switch position. I always disliked the one my parents had when I was young, you'd plug it in and it would be on. Gah!

Cat collar bells. They are sheer torture for the cat.

^ There was a squirrel in the neighborhood that used to take all the cats collars off and hide them. I caught him in the act once and encouraged him to exchange it for an almond in the shell. He complied too, he was a friendly little guy.

You mean the squirrel actually took them off? And the cat said Thank you, old fellow?

Poor quality toilet paper where the punched holes make the strongest part.

At times we have all of the above at the same time in my house. You would go insane at my house. I am already insane.
