The question
Which trait in yourself do you like least?Originally asked
The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A
The Guardian's The Q&A has retained this Proust-derived prompt from at least 2007 through 2026, and ABC independently put it to the Obamas in 2011.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
Modesty and humility.

Deplore is a heavy word. I don’t deplore it but I constantly feel the pull of my old Midwestern ways of eating. Boy, can I put some pancakes away.
I have a child-like fear of being late. I’m a grown man, and I’m scared I’m going to the principal’s office.
Having no patience.
My default will always be to go for the worst-case scenario and that is something that I am unlearning.
That they don’t die on me.
Right up to this question.
