I am disproportionately averse to the following items, in no particular order:

- chess
- the phrase, "get 'er done"
- Terry Gross's interviewing style
- preeningly fashioned facial hair
- azalea bushes pruned into straight-sided, flat-topped hedges or into round balls of shrub
- Bratz. Anything Bratz.
- James Hetfield's "singing" voice
