#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.

It's just slightly annoying.

#909 When someone sits in front of you at the movie theatre and you have to put your feet down

Movies should be watched comfortably. I'm talking feet up, laid back, and a bucket of popcorn by your side. It sounds like this is only possible in the comfort of your own home, but it is possible when you're in the movie theatres. It's quite satisfying when there is no one sitting in front of you and you can kick those legs up onto the seat in front of you.

But who's that walking up the stairs? Why are they pointing to the seat in front of you and whispering to their friend? No, no, no. It can't be. Yup, these seat snatching movie watchers are coming right for your comfort zone. Of course you can't say anything to them, you picked the middle of the row, a prime movie watching location. How can you blame them for doing the same? Don't look down, because 9 out of 10 times, you'll see them resting their feet comfortably on the empty seats in front of them.

It's just slightly annoying.

P.S. Also slightly annoying, theatre vs theater. Movie websites contradict each other.

#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.

 ...on an unrelated note, happy thanksgiving to all of the readers celebrating tonight!

#952 Drying off with a towel that's already wet

Of course there are many scenarios where this slight annoyance occurs, but as much as we don't want to admit it, the most common of all towel mishaps is our own fault.

Sharing towels at the beach or by the pool seems like a good idea at first. Everything is great for the lucky one to get to use the towel first. But then it's your turn. As you take the towel from your buddy, you will most likely be letting out a defeating sigh of disappointment when you realize that the towel is damp all over. Not only is it wet, but it's also cold. It's far from what you're looking for in the dry-off experience. What's that saying? Sharing is caring? Clearly, that's not always the case.

It's just slightly annoying.
