Greenwood's POWER RANKINGS™ of Minor Inconveniences
Minor inconveniences are actually the biggest inconveniences. Let's POWER RANK™
SOMETIMES THE FACT THAT THE TRASH BAG JUST KEEPS SLIPPING OFF THE CAN IS ACTUALLY THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED. We all have some things in our lives that just SEND us. I don’t know about you all, but for me these things are basically the only thing keeping me from being happy all of the time.
Let’s get to POWER RANKING™.
When you are eating popcorn, and a kernel gets stuck in between your gums and a tooth and you try and get it out with your tongue, but just for whatever reason can’t get it. I HATE THAT. I’ve been eating a lot of popcorn lately with this year’s goal of 224 movies. It just KEEPS HAPPENING. I love popcorn, but sometimes this minor frustration makes me want to stop eating it.
Losing your keys, and not realizing you didn’t put them where they are supposed to go until WITHOUT FAIL you are running just a few minutes behind. It never happens when I have time to spare. My keys are almost ALWAYS in the same place, but for SOME REASON when I know I’m going to be in a rush to get out of the door I put them in the damn fridge or something stupid because subconsciously I hate myself I guess.
Shopping for pants, and the store has all the sizes in the world except for the size you want. Freaking TARGET doesn’t even carry my inseam in stores anymore, but at least they have the decency to put a sign out so I don’t DIG THROUGH EVERY PAIR OF PANTS IN THE STORE.
Trying to put a dollar into a vending machine, but it keeps spitting the dollar back out at you and you can’t figure out why because the dollar isn’t torn or really all that wrinkled or anything. Sometimes, you even try another dollar and it STILL doesn’t work, then you just give up on eating your overpriced Ruffles™ Sour Cream and Onion chips. I guess you didn’t REALLY need those.
When you go to fill up your cup at the soda machine (or tea container things) and the drink you want is either out of syrup, or the carbonation is bad, or the tea is empty. So you have to SETTLE for something else, like some kind of CAVEMAN that doesn’t have UNLIMITED CHOICES. Seriously though, this makes me so mad, because Root Beer FINALLY sounded good today for some reason, but alas, I got La Croix™ Root Beer essence because the syrup is basically out and you only get a faint smell of Root Beer in your carbonated water.
Having to scrape your windshield when there is ice on it. No, I am never prepared enough to throw a towel over it or something. I ALWAYS have to stand out there with no gloves scraping for like 20 minutes because I waited too long looking for my keys earlier in # 9 and don’t have enough time to let the defroster do all the work for me.
When you are at a public restroom and the sinks are those automatic sinks, and you have soap in your hands but can’t get the water to come back on to rinse the soap off so you frantically move your hands around underneath it until you splash water all over yourself because it came on finally at just the wrong time. AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE PAPER TOWEL DISPENSERS THAT SPIT OUT LIKE 2 INCHES OF PAPER TOWEL.
When you are wearing socks around the house, and then step in something wet so your sock is wet. Wet socks are DISGUSTING and I HATE them. Also tied to this is when you put your shoes on without realizing that the sock you put on has a hole in it, but when you have your shoe on you can feel the hole in your sock and you never get used to it ALL DAY. Honestly, anytime socks don’t go exactly right, they make me SO MAD.
When you apparently forgot your password to something, so you try it over and over until you finally go reset the password, but when typing in the updated password, it tells you you can’t use that because it’s your current password, but you ARE SO CONFIDENT you tried it exactly right 3 times before starting the reset process. This scenario is actually the reason I got on a password manager software. Not for cyber safety or anything like that. Just out of spite for this situation.
4-way stops. I HAVE YET TO GO THROUGH ONE IN MY WHOLE LIFE THAT DIDN’T FRUSTRATE ME. I just don’t get why people stop thinking even a little bit when then pull up to a 4-way stop. All sense and awareness just GOES OUT THE WINDOW. Why wouldn’t you stop and check your phone and look down as you are pulling up to a busy 4-way stop so that you have no idea what order you’re supposed to go in? Why WOULDN’T YOU DO THAT?
Some people say writing about your frustrations makes you feel better, but my heart rate is up and I’m mad after writing about all of these.
LOVE YA
