People Explain Which Minor Annoyances Still Get Under Their Skin

Another day, another annoyance. Sometimes the things that annoy us are just part of our regular routine, but for one reason or another, they remain the same day to day. In these cases, there's nothing you can do besides grin and bear it. Here are a few examples of these minor annoyances, straight from Reddit.

u/SirMiataLot asked: What is the most annoying thing that happens to you each day that no matter how long you have endured it, it still bothers you?



Good tip.

The headlights on vehicles are too bright for my [apparently] sensitive eyes. Bonus points if they're blue or superwhite and being sported on a truck with a lift kit.

Joe-Schmeaux

These are awful. Why blind other drivers?!

I got some yellow night-driving glasses to help with this. They help cut down on the glare.

EVERY. DAY.

Giphy

Sitting down to do something (or laying in bed), and then right as you're getting comfortable realizing you have to pee.

Just like restaurants. 

Having a ton of options and none of them sound good.

aHobbyist

Having too many choices is actually harder than a defined few. In his well-known work, psychologist Barry Schwartz, calls this choice paralysis. He argues that more choices make us less likely to take action, and to be less satisfied with our eventual decision.

Relatable.

Feeling tired when I wake up.

Shrikeangel

Or waking up in general.

SirMiataLot

Reply all.

Giphy

People that hit reply all to work emails that there is clearly no reason....

Macarthur22000

This is my boss. And then she needs everyone to respond with 'Noted' or some other confirmation and that has to go to everyone as well otherwise how will all 6 of us in the company be on the same page?

crashsaturnlol

Yes.

Going to the bathroom to poop, but no poop comes out.

PeculiarPenguin111

Or squatting forever and then having your legs buzzing afterwards.

SirMiataLot

It's infuriating.

That thing where you're listening to something in your headphones while cooking and the cord catches on a cabinet handle and they get ripped out of your ears and for some reason it feels like the most aggressive assault on the senses possible and you're instantly ready to square up with that cabinet.

Autocorrect is your friend.

Giphy

When I make a typo, go back and erase, then continue typing and make the error again. By the third time I have to erase the typo I'll be slamming the backspace in frustration.

LoneCypress94

So this isn't going to sound like a real option, because it's basically idiotic, but try simply leaving the typos until you've finished writing the whole thing. I used to be viscerally against this, typos needed to be corrected immediately, but it turns out that this speeds up the first pass and helps keep your thoughts in order, and then you can fix the typos at your leisure.

We can solve dust.

That there's ALWAYS house work to be done. You can't get ahead, it's constant.

GravyxNips

I despise any form of constant maintenance tasks.

Also my programmer brain can't accept the fact that there's no permanent solution to these problems.

Why is dust a thing? Can we solve dust?

Mareeck

Ewwww.

Hearing my roommate eat. Dude sounds like a t-rex.

maugisaiyajin

My colleague at work makes slurping noises when he eats salad. He tries to suck it in like he's eating spaghetti.

Sometimes I dream of killing him...

Video Of Little Boy Sobbing After Finding Out Trump Is A Real Person Goes Viral—And We Totally Get It

Whether it was Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or some other important facet of childhood, most of us found out when we were kids that something we loved did not exist, and it was absolutely devastating and world-changing.

But imagine there being something that you deeply disliked or feared, only for you to find out that it actually exists on the same plane and in the same timeline as you.

Woman Stunned After Best Friend Of 23 Years Ends Friendship Over Her 'Mom Shorts'

We will all have friends who come into our lives for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. There are those situational friendships, like from work or school, that dissolve when we exit that space, and there are friendships that might form from knowing the same people.

Then there are those tried-and-true friendships that we think will truly stand the test of time—but even those sometimes fracture under pressure. And sometimes for the most ridiculous reasons.

TikToker Cristina Conklin was waiting in line for a beverage at Dunkin' Donuts in Warwick, New York, when she became either a villain or a hero, depending on who was watching her TikTok video.

MAGA Fumes Over Fox Gun Control Talk

The nation is reeling after yesterday’s mass shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, where a gunman opened fire during a Catholic school Mass, killing two children and injuring more than a dozen others. The tragedy has not only shaken the community but also reignited the national debate over guns in America—this time sparked by an unlikely voice.

Former Republican congressman and Fox News host of Sunday Night in America, Trey Gowdy—long seen as a staunch defender of gun rights and a past recipient of National Rifle Association contributions—surprised many of his own allies when he called for a national reckoning on firearms access.
