Annoying

Annoying Little Things 

Annoying things... The big things are no big deal. Things happen,  you deal with them, and move on. But the small things that happen repeatedly every day, that's another story that plays out everyday... Days after day, week after week, month after month... seemingly forever. 


So yes, they are annoying. Little things that have no consequence whatsoever. Things that are on a mental wish list, that will never be fixed.

In a movie, the character realized that the toaster was incapable of roasting bread properly. #1 setting merely warmed the bread... #2 burnt the bread. And he commented that the General of Electric could toast the bread properly. Similar for me, I use the microwave everyday to heat coffee or water in a glass measuring cup or mug. And no matter the time setting, the mug handle always... Always ends up facing away from my reach facing the back of the microwave turntable.  Why? Clearly the General of Electric did not take this into consideration when making the GE Microwave either, just like the toaster.  

Then there's  napkins, you can never get a single napkin... It's always two. The same applies to paper plates. Darn Dixie. 

Paper towels are perforated, but the corner always tears wrong.

Plastic milk containers always drip outside the cup when pouring.

Eggs. When you put eggs in the bowl to scramble, the yoke always stay whole. But when you put them in frying pan to have eggs over easy... They always break. Darn chickens. 

The list goes on. Little annoying things that happen every day.  Simple things that should no happen. 

And life goes on.  Yep, annoying... And no mental adjustment can change it.  

I'd say I feel better ... Writing it down... Getting it out of my system. 

But we all know... That's not going to happen.
