"Something I simply cannot abide"

I had to laugh when I read this in Haruki Murakami's The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, because it reminded me so much of myself. Spoken by a character named Nutmeg Akasaka:

I do not like it when people wear the wrong thing. That is all. It is something I simply cannot--cannot--abide. I at least want the people around me to dress as well as possible.... I feel a personal, almost physical, revulsion for messy clothing.
