Clowns.  

I hate them. I hate cute clowns, hobo clowns…ALL clowns. It’s illogical for the most part, I know, but I still hate them. My friends and family know this, so what do they do? Use this knowledge against me, of course! They post all sorts clown pictures on my social media page to the point I have panic attacks every time I see a new notification and text and email me clown videos as a form of torturous entertainment. Now that the “IT” movie has been released it’s even worse. I think clowns should be banned and I’m gonna start the movement.
