What don't you miss?

In spite of a similar thread with a similar name, what about where you live would you love to leave behind?

For instance, in my case, the first three digits in my phone number is an area code, so I invariably receive about three or four wrong number calls a week because it is apparently too hard to use the +1 long distance system in the U.S.

Also, my neighbors are either too old, too young, too prudish, or just plain drug dealers.

So... the rest of you?

I don't miss that first post I made, due to it failing to grasp what this thread was about.:$

Tony Blair.

Normally yes, on the other hand compared to Brown...

Think of it as a prostitute running off with your money, at least you got screwed by someone who knew what they were doing.

Pine pollen.

Also the fact that certain things are a little too far away.

Copycat threads.You couldn't possibly "miss" them, since they never go away!

I don't miss mosquitoes, humidity and snow - things abundant in the mid-west, and uncommon where I am now.

Things like...the moon? ;)

I used to live in NYC. I don't miss the cockroaches.

I used to live in Vermont. I don't miss manure turning day. I don't miss those worthless pieces of paper they called "paychecks."

Now I live in the metro Boston area. I won't miss the drivers, or the noise (the particular kind of noisiness that seems to be popular here), or the stench of diesel exhaust that seems to be everywhere, or the cost of living here, or the MBTA (who (fail to) run the transit system), or to be honest, most of the people.

I miss these, although if you lived in Kuwait you probably would too.

I really don't miss election commercials and am very glad not to be seeing them this year.

I don't miss -40 F temps or the blizzards of Minnesota. Neither do I miss the mosquitoes. I didn't have any problems with the summer heat and humidity though.

I never miss my enemies. That is why I have so few, and those are all in ICU's.

I don't miss the smog, the heat in the summer, the lack of winter, driving 45 minutes to go seven miles, and fire season when ashes fall out of the sky. I don't miss roads that are never maintained or, when they are, they're out of service for a year or more. I don't miss the fact that drivers in Southern California have no idea how to drive in rain (probably because it only rains once a year). I don't miss the high cost of living. I definitely don't miss the semi-permanent rash I had when I lived there.

I haven't watched TV in about 8 years. Of course, I used to catch it from time to time on accident but since I'm currently living in a tent in the northern Kuwaiti desert I don't catch much American TV.
