No one likes to be inconvenienced, but we learn how to handle it.
After all, if there's a car accident along the side of the road and emergency vehicles have narrowed the road down to one lane, there's not much you can do. Just sit, wait, let them do their jobs, then keep driving.
Yet, somehow the smaller inconveniences, the minute ones that shouldn't affect your day, typically make things much worse.
Reddit user, ConsiderationOk5905, wanted to know what gets under your skin, no matter the size, when they asked:
"Whats something small that just completely ruins your day?"
Technology is hard, isn't it? Like, all of it.
Even something as simple as flicking a switch can make people suddenly forget how everything is supposed to work, and isn't that just the worst feeling?

What is it about the tiny moments that offset your entire day? Is it that they are such a minor inconvenience but the follow-up can feel like it's going to take a long time?
Buying new socks, for example.
