34 Everyday Occurrences That Probably Irritate Us More Than They Should

1. I'll kick this off with my biggest pet peeve: slow mall-walkers.

Especially when they take up the WHOLE FREAKING WALK WAY.

2. When you have to hold your charger at a 35.6 degree angle in order for it to actually charge your phone.

The number of times this has happened to me, and the stress it has caused, has probably taken off a solid two or three years of my life.

3. Pretty much anytime your wifi connection is too slow.

4. And any time the god-forsaken rainbow wheel-of-death appears on your screen.

5. Finally getting comfortable in bed and then realizing you have to pee.

6. Pouring a bowl of cereal only to come to the brutal realization that there is, in fact, no milk left.

7. When you're waiting in line for something, and the person behind you doesn't seem to understand the concept of personal space.

8. The fact that being "poked" on Facebook is still a thing...

9. And while I'm on this topic, sending people CandyCrush requests has GOT to stop.

I'm not going to respond to them anyways, so you might as well just save yourself the trouble of sending them in the first place.

10. When youtube makes you watch an entire ad without giving you the option to skip past it after 5 seconds.

THE HORROR.

11. When someone comes into your room and then doesn't close the door upon exiting.

12. When autocorrect thinks it knows your thoughts better than you do.

You are not my parent, autocorrect. Stop trying to prevent me from ducking swearing.

13. When Netflix kills your vibe with the "Do you wish to continue playing?" message.

Netflix, I understand that you're trying to help me have a productive day. But please kindly mind your own business.

14. When you ask your friend to navigate for you while you're driving, and they tell you to take a freeway exit with .0002 seconds notice.

YOU LITERALLY HAD ONE JOB.

15. When you're at a restaurant and you tell the waiter/waitress that you need a couple of more minutes to decide, but then they disappear for what seems like hours.


16. And when you see your waiter/waitress come out with food that you think is yours, but they pass right by your table.

That was a cruel joke.

17. When a vending machine won't take your money.

Like wtf...Why??

18. When you wave your hands in front of an automatic paper dispenser and nothing comes out, so you just look like a moron.

It's honestly so uncomfortable.

19. Also, when you're walking through an automatic door and it closes on you.

That's it. I give up. Just leave me here.

20. When you blink and your mascara/eyeliner hasn't dried yet.

21. When memes have grammatical errors..

Maybe it's just me, but it seriously takes a tenth of a freaking second to double check that.

22. When you put your earphones in and the volume is too loud, so you see your life flash before your eyes because the noise level is so startling.

What's even worse is when you make the effort of turning the volume down, and somehow this still manages to happen.

23. When you finally spot the keg at a party, but all that's left is foam.

24. When the light JUST turned green and the person behind you honks.

25. When people put the toilet paper roll on the wrong way.

(And for all those unknowingly committing this offense, it goes OVER not under)

26. Also when people finish the toilet paper roll and don't change it.

Seriously, guys. It's really not that difficult.

27. When you ask a stranger to take a photo of you and your friends, then as you're scrolling through your camera roll you come to find that EVERY SINGLE PICTURE IS BLURRY.

28. When your cat's love for you is as fickle as a summer's wind.

This is a deeply personal struggle that I face on a daily basis.

29. When someone ahead of you is switching lanes, and uses the turn signal for the opposite direction.

30. When you accidentally send a voice recording to someone via iMessage.


31. When the person right before you in line orders the last of the type of muffin you wanted.

Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too?

32. When microsoft word thinks it knows how to spell your name correctly.

33. When you ask someone, "Can I use the bathroom, please?" and they respond with, "I dunno, can you?"

GOOD ONE.

34. Last but not least: when none of the guys in your life look like Channing Tatum.

Why is that so much to ask for?


And when these situations just feel like they're too much to deal with, keep this in mind:

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
