Yep... Annoyed

Yep... annoyed.

Well, there certainly is more than enough stuff to be annoyed with. Holy shit stuff that's out of your control, so why bothered to be annoyed,  let it go. Everyday stuff that wants to go wrong,  so you stop take a break,  and go back to it later... You deal with it. 

Then there's the smallest of things that no one really cares about,  insufficient stuff that's naggingly annoying, that you would think could be, should be easily fixed, yet there it is, day after day. 

The toaster that has become complex that you need a degree to operate,  and still... setting #2 barely warns the bread while # 3 creates cinders.

The keypad on the microwave assumes you will always have the bright light on to see the keypad when it could be easily lit for low light situations, but lights up the time countdown until it reaches lava hit or explodes.


Then there's the turntable that never ends where it started no matter the run time. I heat up lots of things in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Yep, the one with the handle...  that always stops with the handle to the back side, never the place it started, where you could easily grab it. Even watching the seconds it takes for each revolution, and setting the run time so that the turntable stops where it started... it will always stop with the handle facing away from you reach. Simple shit that's annoying that could be, should be fixed with easy programming.  

But the good news... if that's the only thing today that is annoying... even though it happens several times each day... well, I'm guess I'm ahead of the peaceful living curve. Blessed that the toaster, microwave, and air fryer controls that annoy the shit out of me... is the only issues that preplex my peaceful existence. 

Don't even get me started on the computer that seems to make things more complicated.  I miss Windows XP!


And lastly... why has everything changed from the written label for what things do to symbols. Everything thing is labeled with symbols. .. The universal language that everyone has to stop and think for a moment what the hell does that symbol mean? As simple as "On" and "Off"! Symbols are taking over. Cars, computers, even lawn movers... Symbols.  What the hell does this do? Look it up and remember it fort the next time.  





Well, its 2:30 am... I'm awake again. So that's my little rant on annoying things. I feel
 better already. 

Until I go to heat up my coffee in the microwave without turning on the bright light... and have to reach around the turntable to pick up the measuring cup.... While waiting for my toast to burn.
