#826 When the hand dryer in the bathroom turns off before your hands are dry

Not much needs to be said here, because this happens 100% of the times you need to dry your hands with in a bathroom with only hand dryer machine things. I'm all for going green, but I miss the paper towels in the bathroom.


It's just slightly annoying.

#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.

It's just slightly annoying.

#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.

Thankfully, this really changes after high school. It's pretty ridiculous to think that we let teachers tell us when we were "allowed" to use the bathroom. This part of the school system is absurd and almost degrading to an extent.

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.

It's just slightly annoying.

#850 Toilets with a weak flush

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.

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.

#872 Walking into a public bathroom to find that the toilet you get stuck at wasn't flushed

I'm sure we've all seen some pretty terrible things because of the people in the world who don't deem it necessary to flush. If you have kids already or when you do have kids, it wouldn't be a bad idea to venture into the bathroom first and do some scouting.

How hard is it to pull that little flusher?

It's just slightly annoying.

#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.

It's just slightly annoying.

#910 Pooping right after you shower

On the right: a water fountain for your
butt, also known as a bidet.

This may be considered one of the more PG 13 posts, but these two truths are undeniable: everybody poops, and when something is slightly annoying, it's slightly annoying, and that's that.

Without getting into too much detail, pooping right after a shower just feels like there was no point of taking a shower. It feels like getting dirty right after getting clean. It's a poorly timed, counter productive bodily function to say the least. I think the French are one step ahead of the game with their bidets. To all of you French readers, I tip my hat to you and acknowledge that perhaps this post is not for you.

It's just slightly annoying.

#950 Cold toilet seats

Nothing wakes you up faster than
a cold toilet.

We know when the toilet seat is going to be cold. It's a a terrible apprehension for the feeling of discomfort about to come.

The cold toilet seat is the reason for the good ol' seat hover. Yeah, you know the one. It's the move where your pants are already down and you hover your naked butt a couple inches above the seat, mentally preparing. Slowly, you lower yourself with a hilarious look of discomfort on your face, and boom, we have touch down. Hang in there. Luckily, we must have some really warm bodies, and the seat is warmed up in a matter of seconds. Go human bodies, woo. The cold toilet seat must be the toilet's revenge of having us sit on it all of the time.

Touche toilet seat, touche.

It's just slightly annoying.
