The 5 Worst — An Introduction

The other day I came across a book written by some dorky Brit hipster [redundancy alert] called “The Worst”, which comprises lists of the 5 worst people or things to do anything with, ranked in order of awfulness. I think it’s a good idea, and I’m going to steal it and make it a regular Friday Feature.

Let me kick the thing off with:

5 Worst People To Have Dinner With

  • Any vegan
  • Any vegan with gluten intolerance
  • Any vegan with gluten intolerance and diabetes
  • Any vegan with gluten intolerance, diabetes and bulimia
  • Gwyneth Paltrow

Feel free to add your five worst dinner guests in Comments.

  1. The “leave a comment” link is gone now. I got to this point by clicking on the title of the post itself.

    As for a Top 5 Worst Dinner Guests, in no particular order:

    Jeffrey Dahmer
    Hillary Clinton
    Idi Amin
    Anyone who writes for Everyday Feminism
    Laurie Penny

  2. I’m going to go with a more vague list:
    -anyone into some pseudoscientific nonsense (flat earthers, lunar hoaxers, ect)
    -people with no sense of humor who think they are funny
    -“toppers”- those who have to “top” anything anyone else has done
    -politically correct types with hair trigger triggers
    -people who would mix single malt scotch and diet soda.

    1. They desecrate single malt? I’ve read that the way to properly appreciate single malt scotch was to drink it straight (neat?) without any dilution.

      1. Pretty much- you want to be able to appreciate the divine aroma much in the same way you would with a fine cognac. Gulping it from a shot glass is also a bad thing with any well distilled and aged spirit.

        A few drops of icewater is acceptable, but soda, ice cubes, or anything else is to stay in it’s own glass. Mixing is for the cheap stuff.

  3. People who don’t drink but USED to
    Vegans
    My former girlfriend’s mother
    My former girlfriend
    Hillary Clinton

    As an aside, if you’re a Vegan, a recovering alcoholic, a Jehovah’s Witness and you do Crossfit, what do you tell people FIRST?

  4. Try asking Mr FM about Arthur Scargill… 🙂

    My top 5 would be

    The aforementioned Mr Scargill
    Jo Brand
    Dianne Abbot
    Gordon Brown
    And I’m blanking on #5

  5. Any vegan
    Any vegan with gluten intolerance
    Any vegan with gluten intolerance and diabetes
    Any vegan with gluten intolerance, diabetes and bulimia
    Gwyneth Paltrow
    Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt and George Clooney – all at once –

  6. 1. Holier-than-thou eaters (My niece is vegan, but never preaches about it, and loathes PETA)
    2. Dr. Oz
    3. Anyone serving kale
    4. Braggarts
    5. Anyone with noticeable body odor, or overly scented
