My Betrayal List

A Kevin Bacon Facebook post caught my eye this morning.

And like Mr. Bacon, I was inspired to make my own Betrayal List:

• Every “miracle” diet program that promised lasting results

• Bathroom scales (never once been on my side)

• Forty-Seven (the President, not the number)

• Cats who choose the carpet—always the carpet—for their surprise deposits

• Internet providers who swear you’ll get more speed for less money

• Tequila (I love it, but it clearly doesn’t love me back)

• People whose actions don’t line up with their words

In the end, betrayal comes in all forms—political, personal, and feline. Some sting more than others, but at least most of them make for a good story (or a blog post).
