Sometimes the smallest problems prove to have the biggest impact. That is definitely true for the everyday, miniscule annoyances we all must put up with. Hey — they add up. And suddenly, a good day can start feeling like a crappy one. If more than a few of these occurrences make their way into your day, your patience is probably running thin.
1. One word: cords. Cords tangled everywhere.
Laptop charger, phone charger, earphones. Whatever it is, if it has a cord, it's tangled. They're supposedly here to make our lives easier. What will it take for us to realize that wireless is the only way to go?
2. Reaching for the water pitcher, only to find it without water.
Honestly people, why do you put an empty water dispenser back into the refrigerator? What are you trying to keep cold, the air that's taking up the space where water should be? OK, you're probably just lazy and irresponsible and I hate you.
3. "Misplacing" the remote.
Or a ghost or something definitely moved it and hid it from you. Just when you get cozy, ready to relax with some TV, you realize your remote is nowhere in sight. You definitely won't have an easy time finding it either because that's just not how life goes.
4. Getting pokes and game invites on Facebook.
Alright ... how old are we? Entirely too old to be flirting with one another by "poking" each other on Facebook. And if you want to play your games, go for it, but chances are I'm declining your invite.
5. Opening a bag of chips and there being approximately five.
It's only fair for one to expect a decent serving of chips from a decent sized bag. Well, you know what they say, lower expectations = less disappointment. Unless you're a guinea pig, you'll be disappointed with this portion.
6. Forgetting that one thing you told yourself you'd remember.
Oh yeah, gotta tell Margie about that later, she'll love it! I can't wait to tell her!
Later: Crap, what in the world was I going to tell Margie?
7. When your phone dies at 60 percent.
I'm not Steve Jobs or anything, but I really don't think my iPhone is meant to die at 60 percent battery life. And, of course, I don't have my charger with me because I wasn't prepared for my phone to die for another few hours.
8. Finding the perfect parking spot only to see it's taken by the world's tiniest car.
You spied the perfect spot up front, are turning your steering wheel accordingly ... wait, there's a car. Somehow, there is a car that takes up only the first quarter of the parking space. Why am I even surprised?
9. Turning the A/C on because *hot* and then five minutes later, uh *Antarctica.*
It feels like 120 degrees in here; it couldn't be any more uncomfortable. So naturally, cranking the A/C.
Five minutes later: Alright, it's absolutely freezing in here; why the hell is the heat not on?
10. Telling a story and receiving the response, "What?"
OK, so you're telling me you didn't hear anything that just came out of my mouth? Why didn't you stop me earlier? Now, you want me to start from the very beginning. What, yourself. You get a sigh.
