I’m here to ruin your day.
You know when something small happens, something completely insignificant, and yet it instantly boils your blood. It’s not enough to complain about out loud, but just enough to sit there and let it bother you.
10. Waving Back at Someone Who Wasn’t Waving at You
That split second when you realize; oops, that wasn’t for me. Now you have to commit to the wave and play it off as if the abyss who actually received your wave is going to reciprocate it.
9. Trying to Skip an Ad and Accidentally Clicking It
You had one job. Now you’re being redirected to a website you didn’t ask for and likely contracting some dangerous plague-like bugs to your device.
8. When Your Sock Slides Down Inside Your Shoe
It starts as a mild inconvenience and quickly becomes a full psychological crisis. Fixing it in public? Embarrassing.
7. Hitting Every Red Light in a Row
At some point it stops feeling like coincidence and starts feeling personal. Is the universe out to get me?
6. Rereading a Text and Noticing a Typo After It’s Been Seen
Awkward. Even worse when it’s to someone you believe is higher status than you. It’s okay, just kick me while I’m down.
5. Your Phone Slipping and Hitting You in the Face
Just a girl trying to enjoy her nightly scroll, but here comes gravity trying to obliterate her nose.
4. When Your Sleeve Gets Slightly Wet While Washing Your Hands
Not soaked. Just damp enough to ruin your mood for the next 45 minutes.
3. Autocorrect Changing a Word After You Hit Send
You typed it right. But now it looks like a 5-year-old took your phone. Thanks Apple for the help.
2. Someone Walking Just Slow Enough in Front of You That You Can’t Pass
They’re not slow enough to overtake, but not fast enough to obtain a normal speed, so they better expect an immense amount of flat-tires if they don’t pick up the pace.
1. Dropping Something Between the Car Seat and the Console
Gone. Good luck ever seeing it again, especially if it’s your phone. You better get out of the car and start looking underneath the seat right now.
