Really? How old are we? When I see grown men do this, it makes me want to vomit into the sink that I am currently washing my hands with because I am not a disgusting person.
2: Liking the show The Real Housewives in any of its multifarious incarnations.
I just don't understand how people enjoy watching catfights that are scripted to seem like they aren't scripted. Maybe it's some bizarre offshoot of voyeurism, but I sure as heck hope not. Watch some real TV. Or better yet, don't watch any. I have a fair-sized backyard, you can come play in it.
3: Writing letters to the editor affirming your support for a team because/in spite of their victory/loss.
Personally, I am not the biggest fan of professional sports. I think they're fine things to be involved in and fun hobbies, but I just don't see how that translates into ridiculous salaries and rabid followers. But I certainly don't hold it against someone if they take pleasure in watching "the game" on tv or in person. However, when it reaches this point, it's gone too far. Maybe Paul at the water cooler likes to get on your case for your team preference, but the anonymous masses who read the paper? They don't care. It's like these people take a moral highground because they aren't abandoning their favorite team because of a bad season.
4: Being an editor who selects (for publication) letters to the editor affirming support for a team because/in spite of their victory/loss.
Really, you're just as culpable for giving that sort of garbage the time of day.
Also, these things don't *necessarily* make you a bad person, as it has come to my attention that somebody I know (who is most certainly a good person) enjoys The Real Housewives. Forgiveness of items on this list at my discretion.
