Friday Five – Who Don’t You Want to Deal With?

July 27th, 2010

Like all registered introverted misanthropes, I have a certain amount of dread and natural dislike for dealing with various types of people. Many times, the way I dread dealing with them impacts what actions I am willing to force myself to take in the world. For instance, my dread at the thought of dealing with repair people means that I have a bucket to catch the water that leaks in from my roof, instead of a roof that does not leak. My dread of having to deal with doctors means that I have to be pretty close to dying before I will go to one, etc. I was wondering what types/groups of people other people don’t want to deal with. I opened it up to “types of people” because I figure not everyone’s like me, and many people might not have a dread of dealing with professionals who are offering them services. Anyway, results below:
