Markers, pens, chapstick, money, important notes, electronics. If it's slightly valuable to you or it's slightly destructive when washed, you can bet that it will end up in the washing machine in the pocket of a favorite pair of pants of yours. It's fine, you can still where them, that ink blotch is totally "in" this year.

#827 When your wallet is uncomfortably thick
Seems like this shouldn't be a problem, right? If having too much money in your wallet is an uncomfortable problem, then I'll be uncomfortable all day, every day.
Let's not kid ourselves though. For most of us, our wallets aren't thick from too much cash. It's probably all those "buy ten, get one" free cards, it's those credit cards that need to be paid off, it's the several forms of ID, it's the insurance card, the business cards. Usually, anything but cash.
The more you accumulate, the thicker your wallet gets, and the more uncomfortable it is to sit on it. You'll have a permanent lean towards whatever pocket your wallet isn't in. One of your butt cheeks might even be a little sore after a long dinner.
It's okay though, when you get that free sandwich for spending over a hundred bucks at that fast food joint, it will be worth it.

#828 Stubbing your toe
It's such a stupid and embarrassing way to hurt yourself. No matter what you stub it on, it's ultimately your fault for not watching where you were walking. It usually doesn't hurt enough to be extremely painful really annoying but hey...

#829 The elusive booger
This booger is the master of elusiveness. This little guy clings to dear life when you start digging around and gets out of harms way when the tissue comes out. Maybe if we could spend more time picking our nose in public, we'd have less elusive boogers to constantly bug us and we'd live a little more peacefully.
Sure, even with that booger chilling there, you can breathe well enough. You can tell yourself it's no big deal, you'll forget about it. But you'll always feel that elusive booger, slightly blocking your nasal passage. Get angry, get aggressive, get that booger and obtain freedom. Breathe deep and enjoy your victory and the fresh air.

#831 Having to pee during hide and seek
You've got the best hiding spot. You'll never be found. Eventually, the seeker will have to call out that he gives up and you will jump out with a big grin on your face. You, my friend, are the king of hide and seek.
But what's this? It can't be. You just got into hiding position a moment ago. Why is this happening? You, the king, have the same kryptonite that all hide and seek players have. A weakness that no man or woman will ever conquer. A weakness that will undoubtedly reveal your amazing hiding spot to the world. You have to pee.
There are two ways that you can save a little bit of grace in this scenario.
1) Get out of your hiding spot quickly so when you're caught, your great hiding spot isn't revealed. It's just you, looking stupid (and possibly doing the pee dance) in a terrible open spot.
2) Wear a diaper and don't leave your spot. Problem solved.

#835 The Duck Hunt dog
For those of you who lived under a rock during the 90s, the Duck Hunt dog is your best friend, picking up ducks that you shoot down. He's also your worst enemy, blatantly laughing in your face every time you fail to hit a bird. If you even want to call him a friend, you can call him that one friend that you never really want to hang out with.
This dog's owner clearly never taught it manners or sportsmanship. People (and dogs) of the world, it's generally construed as rude to laugh at someone's failure in their face.

#836 Sweating through a shirt
If you ever want to feel self conscious, go ahead and arrive somewhere important after having trekked through the heat in your gray shirt.
There's nothing like arriving to your job in a shirt that is no longer the same color because of all of your body sweat. You gotta love taking a seat in class wondering how gross people think those stains on your shirt are. Walking seemed like such a good idea! Lesson learned.
Find yourself some air conditioning and don't move for about 15-20 minutes. Your visible sweat stains might just go away, leaving you wondering if that dry sweat is emitting the terrible odor you've begun to smell everywhere.

#837 Having to ask to go to the bathroom in school
Bathroom passes are great to let the world know you've been allowed to use the restroom. |
If I want to go to the bathroom, I'm leaving and going to the bathroom, and no one is going to tell me that I can't because "somebody else is already using the bathroom." What a funny reason to not let allow someone to go to the bathroom. I forgot that schools only had one bathroom and it was a unisex bathroom that only one person could use at a time.

#838 Snorers
Snoring can really suck, but never for the snorer. The funny thing about snorers is that they always get the best night of sleep out of anyone in the bed and/or room. You'll lay awake for hours, pondering how that noise could possibly be coming from a human. It's like someone is doing construction work in your bed. They'll sleep through the night, playing in dream land.
I know what you're thinking when a snorer is keeping you up all night. I assure you that smuggling the snorer with a pillow until they stop snoring is not a good idea.

Nobody wants to hear your phone make any noises over and over again, let alone the same noise over and over again. It's a little rude, don't you think? You see all of those eyes on you? They don't belong to happy people. Put it on vibrate and stop forcing the world to acknowledge every time you get a text.

Just look for your out-of-shape parents. Just look for your beach chairs. Just look for your guy friends who are acting like idiots. Just look for your girl friends that are laying out, catching some rays. Oh wait, everything is the same on the beach.
Even after hanging out in your claimed spot, you're bound to lose track of where you posted up after going for a leisurely walk down the beach.

#846 Adjusting to a new phone
Phones are getting crazier and crazier. Coincidentally, they're also getting awesomer and awesomer.
The learning gap between your old phone and new phone can be really difficult at times. For a while, you'll feel like your parents using a phone, lost and confused over the simple things. Grit your teeth and bite your tongue as "experienced" users of your new phone butt in and say "here, let me show you what to do." We all know that's a blow to the prideful nature in all of us.
Embrace the futuristic phones but be prepared to feel like an idiot.

#847 When your skin starts to peel before the vacation is even over
The one downside to chillaxin' and vacationing in the sun is the dry itchy skin and peeling that comes from tan and sunburn. The upside to this downside is that it usually doesn't happen until after the vacation. No one wants to be itching and peeling during the vacation itself. Sometimes, your body (or maybe the sun) jumps the gun a little.

#848 Being itchy after having laid on the grass
Whether it's lounging around in the grass on a sunny day or it's rolling around playing with your puppy, the same aftermath will always occur. The itchiness starts off in just one spot and it's no big deal. Soon, the itch will somehow overcome multiple other body parts until you can't stop itching and scratching all over. It will become impossible to sit still. Was this experience just slightly exaggerated? Perhaps. However...

You never know what's going in there. Toilets, you need to hit the gym more. Flushes should be strong and confident. There should be no doubt that whatever is going in the toilet is getting flushed down. I don't want to have to stare at the toilet after I flush to make sure the job is getting done.

#853 Pop-Tart crust
Ah, Pop-Tarts, the snack that many of us have grown up on as a kid. Your cinnamon sugar filling has always satisfied. Your strawberry goo has never let us down. How much time was spent, mouth salivating as we stared at the toaster oven waiting for you to cook, we will never know. It's a shame you were just a bit flawed. It's a shame you had to bite through the dry flavorless crust to get to your flavorful center. We tried avoiding the problem, we really did. Breaking the crust off really cut your surface area down quite a bit and it also took 30 seconds of our mornings that could have been spent watching cartoons. We'll still stand by you, Pop-Tarts, but it's time to lose the weight and cut the crust handles.

We've all seen people hunting for treasure when they thought no one was looking. Is your initial reaction disgust? It might be, but I bet in the back of your mind, you're thinking, "man, I bet that's gonna feel good when that nose is all cleaned out." If that's not what you think, I bet you will now. Wouldn't it be nice to ease your breathing by any means necessary, even if you were in public? Humans have invented all types of tool, but sometimes, a finger is the best tool of all.

It's hard to get into a good consistent rhythm on the highway. When you finally get that open strip of highway in front of you, it's pretty exciting. Get that speed up to just the right place, hit the cruise control button and enjoy the ride.
As you cruise along, eventually you'll notice a speck on the edge of the horizon that's getting bigger and bigger. Yeah, you know what's about to happen. It might be a patch of traffic or it might just be one car. Whatever it is, it's definitely going slower than the speed that you're cruising at. Tap that break, turn off the cruise control, say goodbye to smooth sailing and hello to this slight annoyance.

#866 When your paper doesn't reach the minimum requirement after double spacing it
Double spacing is awesome. It's the greatest confidence booster than can possibly come out of writing for hours on end. The anticipation builds as you finish your paper, knowing the magic you're about to pull of. One click and boom, you've reached the minimum requirement and more.
So what happens when the magic doesn't work?
Click. Wait a second, what's going on here? Not cool. You can't possibly be expected to write more than you already wrote! You counted your single spaced pages, doubling that should have been enough! Well, the pages don't lie, but come on, you know what to do. Fix up those margins. Make those periods a font size bigger. Widen the spacing between those letters. If none of that does the trick, it's time to get those fingers busy typing. When double spacing magic fails us....

#873 Ruining your snow angel when you stand up
Ah, a fresh coat of snow. Perfect snow angel making weather and conditions greet you as you step outside. Before you leap into snow heaven, you should keep in mind that the creation of a snow angel means you'll need to remove yourself from within your own creation. Removing yourself from your snow angel is a very delicate process. One wrong step and your wing is disfigured forever. All that hard work for nothing!
It's not easy to keep your angel in pristine condition. You have to get up slowly, making sure to not place your hands on either side of the angel. Once you're standing inside of your snow angel, you can't just walk away, that would be too easy. You have to make a leap away from the angels insides to avoid leaving awkward footprints too close to your angel. If you've successfully done this, congratulations, you made yourself a good looking snow angel. Let's be honest though, how often do you actually take the time and care to do all this? Yeah, I thought so. That's why your angel has feet coming out of its feet.

#874 Overly powerful sinks
Overly powerful sinks are the source of much embarrassment. We should be rewarded for washing our hands! Being sanitary is good! Instead, overly powerful sinks splash everywhere, causing a wet mess all over the place. These wet spots will of course end up all over your clothes, leaving you walk into the social world with wet spots all over your pants. You see those people looking at you, whispering and giggling? Yeah, they're talking about the wet spots all over your pants, you pants wetter.
My advice? Get some time in with the hand dryer. Get to know it really well. It may be the only way to save yourself from the embarrassment this sink has caused you.
