With a week filled with countless
exams, meticulous readings, and hours devoted to extracurricular activities, my
brain was dormant in thoughts of negativity, only allowing me to think about
the negative nuances of everyday life that just really suck. Here is a brief list of trivial things average humans go through that should just go away and never come back.
1. Sharing a Table With Strangers at a Restaurant
There is nothing more annoying than rubbing shoulders with a stranger while you are going to town on shrimp fried rice at your favorite hibachi restaurant. Please, do not try to make small talk with me. I would rather pretend I'm choking, have someone call an EMT, and drive 45 minutes in an ambulance to my community hospital than to talk to you about where I go to college and what I want to do with my life. Also, to the chefs at hibachi restaurants, please stop flinging grilled zucchini at my face and have me try to catch it in my mouth like a trained seal. Just flip your knives around and do some cool tricks while I drink kamakazes and try to get through the grueling conversation with the stranger to my right.
2. Facing the Mirror in a Gym Class
For the love of God, what is more torturing than glaring at your sweaty, out of shape body trying to keep up with Kelly the Zumba constructor. I'm only here because of my excessive eating and drinking and I don't want to die at the age of 50. Why is there a huge mirror reminding me just how much I've let myself go?
3. Taking Off Makeup Before Bed
I have a true love-hate relationship with removing what feels like 3-inch thick foundation from my imperfect skin every night. Wearing makeup is already a vicious cycle of covering a blemish, forgetting to remove said makeup, and waking up with an even bigger blemish as a real "F you!" to your self esteem. Can't I just have flawless skin and go makeup free for the rest of my life?
4. Waiting 15 Minutes for a Drink at the Bar
All I want is a vodka soda and, instead, I get 15 minutes of leaning on a sticky bar while at least 6 people have bumped into me as if I'm wearing the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter.
5. People that eat horribly and have a nice body
Why are you a human garbage disposal but have the abs of an Olympic gymnast? Oh, you don't work out either? Great. Perfect. Moving on.
6.When You Can't Find the TV Remote
Yes, Netflix, I am still watching 30 Rock, how rude of you to pause the show after my 8 hour binge-watching fest. And even better, THE REMOTE IS GONE. Now I have to remove every couch cushion and dive into the depths of my 15 year-old couch. Ooo look, the earring I lost in 6th grade. Memories.
That's all I can think of for now. What are some of the things about everyday life that annoy you?
