#826 Unknowingly leaving something destructive or fragile in your pocket before sending pants through the washing machine

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.

It's just slightly annoying.

#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.

It's just slightly annoying.

#851 Stepping in gum

You know it the second you do it and you're faced with a rather disgusting choice. Do you pick off the used gum that may have been frying in the sun all day? Or do you just let it be and feel the stickiness in every other step you take? It's a lose-lose situation.

Gum throwers of the world, stop throwing your gum on the ground!

It's just slightly annoying.

#852 Having something in your shoe

A tiny pebble, a thorn, part of your shoe lace, really anything that's not your socked foot. Try to ignore it all you want, shake that foot around, go ahead, but you know that you're going to have to stop what you're doing and fix the situation.

It's just slightly annoying.

#871 Shoelace knots

How does a beautiful bow turn into an ugly knot anyway? It's like a beautiful butterfly turning back into an awkward caterpillar. It's even worse knowing that even though the creation of this knot isn't your fault, you're the one that has to deal with it.

It's just slightly annoying.

#900 Wearing warm clothes because it's cold in the morning but then being too hot later in the day

You think you have it under control when you put on that long sleeved fleece and jeans in the morning. It's cold! The weather man has informed you that it will get a little hotter, but the "real feel" isn't an unbearable temperature for jeans and long sleeves.

At this point in your life, you must realize that you are wrong just about 100% of the time.  The slight annoyance that we feel when overheating in the inappropriate clothes is one of the many reasons that we should bring snap pants back to fashion.

Mother Nature is out to get us. I'm sure I've said that before, because I'm sure it's true. I'd like to meet Father Nature and ask him what he was thinking when he married such an evil being. Guess what Mother Nature? We're (inadvertently) going to global warm your home and you're going to be as inappropriately dressed as you have us on so many days.

It's just slightly annoying.

#912 Obnoxiously loud shoes

Loud click clackers find the best times to disruptively click clack their way through your life. Just wait until you finally lay your head down to rest or you turn on a movie for a nice relaxing night. That's when the girls on the floor above you will decide to put on their loudest heels and play soccer and/or take up amateur tap dancing.

Some boots weren't made for walking.

It's just slightly annoying.

#923 Laundry day

You've been wearing a pair of shorts as underwear for three days now, and the stench of the socks you've been wearing for a few days straight is unbearable. It's that day.

Laundry day is bittersweet; it's a necessary evil that leans heavily towards the evil side if washing and drying clothes will cost you. It's great having clean clothes, fresh out of the dryer. It's not so great having to block a few hours of your day to do the laundry. Okay, okay, you might just pop your clothes in the washing machine and then in the dryer, which only takes a few minutes. Those few minutes, however, are enough to disrupt your day and any activites you had planned. Laundry days are disrupted days.

It's just slightly annoying.

#943 Texting with gloves on

Are cold fingers worth the
ability to text?

'Tis the season for cold weather and glove wearing. That also means that 'tis the season for jumbled texts and frustrated texters. Mentally prepare yourself to be hitting four buttons instead of one every time you attempt to type a letter. A mental preparation will help you keep your cool in times where you simply can't type what you're trying to say. But don't worry parents and older generations, the younger generation could never understand your texts anyway.

It's just slightly annoying.

#944 When girls wear absurdly large sunglasses

The world is totally glad that this "fashion" trend caught on. It's SO attractive. Eventually, girls will realize how dumb they've looked throughout all of these years and the world will return back to normal, with people wearing things that aren't sized for the Yeti.

Is this cool? Are girls evolving into insects?

It's just slightly annoying.

#947 Being unable to untie a knot that you tied

On second thought, maybe you shouldn't have tied that shoelace so tight. Hopefully no one will know that you're the one that got yourself into this predicament. Way to go Einstein.

It's just slightly annoying.

#953 Getting pants off while wearing shoes

Taking off your pants (or someone else's pants) is usually a pretty simple, pretty easy and pretty awesome activity. Go ahead, take off your pants right now. Doesn't that feel good?

One man simply does
not have the time to deal
with pants shenanigans.

The answer is yes, that feels great. For those of you who have your shoes on however, you will probably find yourself in disagreement. Keeping the shoes on during the pants removal process is a guaranteed way to add a slightly annoying 3+ minutes to the process. Everything will be going so well as you slide down your pants when all of the sudden, bam, you hit your ankles, where your shoes say to your pants "no, this is as far as you go." You'll fight through the awkward stage of pulling your pants legs around shoes, one a time, thinking to yourself how stupid you were for not taking off your shoes. And that's just the best case scenario. Worst case scenario? This pants-off maneuver leads to the embarrassment of falling on your face, and let me tell you, your face is not a fan of falling on itself.
 

No pants problems here.

Snap pants should be socially acceptable for all ages and environments. I wouldn't mind seeing some snap pants around the office, or seeing the groom walk down the aisle in a solid pair of snaps.

It's just slightly annoying.

#965 Bra hooks

How many hands does it take to master the bra hook?

Sorry women of the world, you might sympathize a little less here. I don't think anyone in the world would hate the idea of women not wearing any bra at all wearing the simplest of straps. For some men, figuring out a bra hook is as impossible as figuring out where in the world Carmen San Diego is. For others, it just takes a while, more like finding Waldo. And of course, there are plenty of men who have it all figured out and there's no fumbling, stumbling and/or ripping and pulling. All in all, when it comes down to it, men have your evil devices figured out ladies.

So the bra hook has been conquered. But hear this, men (and women)! Imagine hearing the satisfying sound of velcro coming apart during your bra crusade. Let's magnetize some straps up in here. Imagine having a clap-on (or off, get it?) bra. This is the future, let's make things voice activated! Okay, okay, okay, things aren't going to go in that direction but still...

It's just slightly annoying.

#993 When hangers get tangled in each other

This really shouldn't be a bothersome, but we all know that this is at least slightly annoying. When two hangers get tangled up, it becomes more complicated than trying to figure out the point of cleaning up before the cleaning lady comes. 


You know who I bet doesn't have this problem? Those magicians that connect two metal rings and then disconnect them...with magic.

Am I the only one that considers throwing the hangers out when they're tangled up?

It's just slightly annoying.

#998 Wet socks

There's a million ways to get stuck in this slightly annoying predicament here. However, when it comes down to it, there is only one way to solve the problem and that solution is to peel off your freshly ruined socks.

But let's be realistic here, you can't just take off your socks whenever and wherever you want. According to social norms, it's not acceptable to take off your shoes and socks whenever the need strikes you; it's like masturbating on an airplane, it's just frowned upon. If it were deemed "normal," we'd see slightly annoyed people in all sorts of places taking off their shoes and socks just to put on their now dampened shoes all over again. Busses, offices, sidewalks and dry spots on the ground would become safe havens for everyone's woeful feet. Instead of finding any sort of safe haven, we often just walk around with that familiar squish of water sopping in and out of our socks, just enough to ruin and smell up the shoes we actually care about. Even after we finally get those grimy socks off, are we rewarded? Rarely. We now face the problem of smelly feet, smelly shoes, blisters from sockless shoe-wearing, and probably a few STDs.

It's just slightly annoying.
