#854 Youtube commercials

It seemed like only a matter of time before Youtube was monetized in this fashion, but come on, let's not ruin a good thing.

It's just slightly annoying.

#855 Underpopping the bag of popcorn

If you peek into the bag and see this,
you've done something terrible wrong.

There's a feeling of failure and disappointment when you open the bag of popcorn you just made only to find way too many kernels unpopped. You underpopped the bag. You failed to turn those caterpillars into butterflies and now you have to live with the consequence.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. You enjoy gnawing on those kernels. Most of us do enjoy a kernel or two, but definitely not a kernel or 30.

It's just slightly annoying.

#856 Not being able to pick your nose in public

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 just slightly annoying.

#857 Running while wearing a schoolbag

Note: This slight annoyance
knows no boundaries.

Let's face it, nobody looks cool when they run with a schoolbag on. It awkwardly bangs against your back and shifts your weight in  perfectly awkward proportions to make it look like your running with some sort of mental deficiency. You should definitely avoid getting in the scenario where you need to run with a schoolbag. Maybe you're better off missing the school bus but retaining some dignity, but in the end, you gotta do what you gotta do.

It's just slightly annoying.

#858 When tape gets stuck to itself

Yeah, we're slightly annoyed at you for doing your job correctly, tape.

It's just slightly annoying.

#859 When the power flickers off and on and all of the clocks flash 12:00

Thanks for nothing, clock.

When the power flickers off and on, it's usually not too big of a deal...except for that one thing. What is that again? Oh. Right. Every clock and its mother is now blinking at you to remind you that it's no longer doing its job and it needs you to fix it. 12:00! 12:00! 12:00!

It's just slightly annoying.

#860 When guys put girls on their shoulders during concerts

Dear "that guy," we
strongly dislike you.

Remember the progression of man? Well these guys are setting us back, one concert at a time. Come on guys, let's use our brains. Would the people behind you rather see the concert that they probably paid to see or the back of the girl on your shoulders who's drunkenly flailing around and screaming? Stop ruining the show boys.

It's just slightly annoying.

#861 Tolls

Sure, I'd love to have absolutely no say in giving up money to drive on a road. And I'd definitely love to get caught in traffic that tolls create. Great, grand, wonderful, thanks.

It's just slightly annoying.

#862 Push doors that look like pull doors

This is just blatantly trying to
confuse us.

Store owners must do this on purpose to watch people embarrass themselves. Why would you need a place to grip if it was a push door? You don't. I've seen multiple people actually give up when they couldn't open a push door by pulling it. Humans may be smart, but sometimes we need a little help...how about a "push" sign?


It's just slightly annoying.

#863 People who talk loudly during the movie

"I will come back there and punch you
and your little friend square in the face."

Don't ruin the movie by adding your own soundtrack. For real. Jerk.

It's just slightly annoying.

#864 People who change their Facebook name to their first and middle name

If you don't want your own friends to be able to find you, you nailed it. If you want people to be slightly annoyed with you, you nailed it. Nobody really calls you by your first and middle name, why change it on Facebook?

It's just slightly annoying.

#865 When a car is driving too slow on the highway and you have to turn off cruise control

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.

It's just slightly annoying.

#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....

It's just slightly annoying.

#867 The sound of a construction vehicle or truck backing up

What, your beeping didn't help you here?

Truck drivers love to back up. They really do. If they are driving construction vehicles, they will love to back up really early in the morning. I would like to meet the person who made these beeps a necessity.

Who ran into the back of a truck because it wasn't constantly beeping when it was in reverse?

It's just slightly annoying.

#868 Automatic toilets that flush before you're done using them

Hey toilets, what's your hurry? Just because you're all sophisticated and automatic doesn't mean you get to flush whenever you want. Do you have somewhere to be? Maybe a hot date later?

And besides, you're scaring the h-e-double hockey sticks out of us when you randomly flush on us.

It's just slightly annoying.

#869 Being near someone with the same name as you

Hello, my name is "unoriginal.

Need I say more? This constant confusion leads to a constant let-down as you discover that no, there's nobody calling your name.


It's just slightly annoying.
