Green bell peppers. I hate the way they taste. Had someone tell me they don’t taste like anything. Ok then why even bother if there’s no taste?

Unless it was part of it, multiple levels of packaging.
Open up a bag of chips. It's bag, then chips. Perfect world.
Open up a box of cookies from hell. Open up the box. Open up the freshness seal bag. Pull out the individually wrapped cookies, and open those too.
Straight to jail. No question.
Teenagers. Just ship 'em off somewhere between the ages of 13 and 18. Pouty, Self-entitled, disrespectful shits.

Property taxes. Land value taxes are just better.
The need to pee at night.
Motion-sensing faucets in public bathrooms. I feel like there is somebody behind the mirror trolling me every time.
My apartment has motion censor faucets.
I live in a nightmare.

Money. It's just a mechanism of control because those with the power to share never learned to do so. They're the kids at the playground hogging the swing set while everyone else is getting wood chips kicked in their face. Humanity in a nutshell.
Maybe not humorous, but I hope it paints a picture.
Dihydrogen monoxide.
Literally kills thousands of people a year.
It's all around us. Easier to remove the carbon based life forms.

Pineapple. Not just on pizza (although that is an abomination), but all pineapple in food or drinks. It's weird and slimy and its taste taints everything it touches. Plus fresh pineapple is trying to digest you while you eat it. Just a horrible fruit all around.
I will not be swayed by counter arguments.
You, sir or madam, are an abomination and should be abolished.
Pineapple is only slimy when inappropriately treated. For pizza you need to cut into small chunks, drain over a sink for a minute, and then quick fry in a pan to give a little caramelization. THEN put on pizza and bake. It is magic, paired with Canadian bacon, salty, sweet. Yum
Best breakfast burrito: the Hawaiian. Ham, potatoes, pineapple, eggs, sour cream. In fact, you have inspired me, with your hateful statements this morning, and I'll be putting and order in shortly.

Damn, that sounds good.
It is amazing. They put mango salsa on it.
If you ever come to Anchorage, Alaska. Burrito factory. It's in a gas station, but they have a proper kitchen, and cook to order. Super weird, I know, but i take all my friends there when they come for a visit, and they always ask to go again, the next time they come up.

You are obviously disturbed and need professional help, that you would defile the sanctity of a breakfast burrito with that devil fruit.
...it was delicious. I thought I abolished you... No more nonsense, thank you.
This is me with mango. Disgusting ass food that's related to poison ivy. No thanks!
Okay, humorously...
Eating pizza with a fork. If you're afraid of hot grease burning a trail down your arm, you don't deserve to enjoy good pizza.
Reasonable exceptions for children and the disabled can be made.
But if you put ranch on it you should be thrown in Guantanamo Bay.
GL with Napoli-style pizza w/o one though
Pizza place near me has ranch pizza at discount for $1.
I thought I was getting a deal and then promptly threw it away.
First, I'll abolish your milk
Then, I shall abolish your VIRGINITY
The colour red so that way whenever somebody goes to "Red Lobster" all they see is "Lobster" on the sign.

I would abolish banana peels. They cause far too many injuries and I think doing away entirely could calm everyone, especially those in banana-rich areas where peels are most common.
Just the peel? That is going to make every other part of acquiring and eating a banana really weird.
And maybe we need that. We've been blessed with delicious bananas too easily for two long.
He ain’t got a peel on his ‘nanner!
Everyone here being so serious.
Children in breweries. Fine, fine at least keeping the sanctity of 21 and over areas of breweries. When did breweries become a family affair? How come every place has to become a family friendly place, why can't we have just a few adults only places?
No matter what I get some child screaming while I'm trying to enjoy a beer. And every parent will say "well where are they supposed to go" and my answer is always "literally anywhere else". Everywhere is okay with kids. And then others will say "well mine are great" which I would say I don't care, but other parents don't care and ruin it for the rest. So if I got to abolish anything, it's be kids in breweries.
I saw this at my local brewery.
A bunch of bachelorettes with their penis straws and hats with SLUT in LEDs were having a fun time in the corner while some parents with their 8yo kids running circles around their table were also at the same brewery. Random guy in a trench coat with his giant dog. Nerd on his apple laptop.
Nobody was acting a fool or making a scene. But it was a strange moment.
Yes! I do not understand children in breweries. It seems like irresponsible parenting to me. Taking your kid with you to a place not meant for them, while you drink, and then getting into your car and driving your kid home after?
Just go have a beer at home ffs, and don't subject me to your kid running around like a... Kid.
Then they argue that they have a right to go out don't they? Which I say sure! But then you decided to have kids, so now you need to find someone to watch them. Instead they insist they belong in adult only venues
No matter what I get some child screaming while I’m trying to enjoy a beer.
At a brewery? What? Why?
