We hear about the freakouts, the verbal lashings, the accidents and many more.
But what are some small things, things that have little consequence but are still infuriating or that drive you up the wall?
Here are some examples of my own:
- People flocking to the metro doors without leaving proper space for people to leave.
- Hearing the same 3 questions at work every time.
- People walking slow enough to pass but not letting you.
Here’s a really small one: when one of my toenails has a sharp corner to it that snags on the sheets.
Sand and lack of oil.
Smart ass replies aside, if I’m low on sleep, anything - and I do mean anything - has the potencial to grind my gears.
For some reason it bothers me greatly when people talk about the number 2 being special because “it’s the only even prime number”. Like of course, that’s literally how they are defined. It’s like saying “did you know 3 is the only prime number divisible by 3?”
People who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle and then walk away.
People who leave their shopping carts in random spots in the parking lot.
People that drive 20 under the speed limit in the left lane.
When those little plastic things on the end of your shoelaces fall off.
Aglets. You can buy replacement aglets if it really bothers you.
Soap or shampoo that smell like (and better than) food. Why??
One time many years ago, the hair conditioner I was using smelled so delicious that I just had to have a curious taste to see what it was like. Disappointing to say the least lol. Yes, I was old enough to know better…I was not a small child when I did this lol
may i introduce you to

Saying “orientated” rather than “oriented”. There’s no need for that extra “ta” in the middle, it’s a useless syllable.
My family refusing to lower the tv volume and then blaming me staying up at night because of said volume on my phone
Fucktards voting for fascists.
That doesn’t sound very small to me good sir
People who think freedom of speech also means freedom from consequences.
Bigots being criticized is proof the system is working.
