#926 When the refrigerator beeps while you're still looking through it

Not only do refrigerators beep at us,
they also stare at us,

Hey refrigerator, I'm going to take as much time as I want when deciding what I want out of you, so keep your big mouth quiet. I don't beep at you when you're taking too long to make ice, do I?

Either refrigerators are getting paged on their beepers at all the wrong times or this is one impatient appliance.

It's just slightly annoying.

#934 That one room in everyone's house that's off limits

A rare peak into an off-limits
room.

Thinking about throw pillows leads one to think about all of the unnecessary things in a house. Of all of these unnecessary things, the biggest one has got to be "that room."

Most houses have a room that is apparently more special than the others. It's usually where out of the ordinary events are held, like Thanksgiving dinner or fancy brunches. Occasions like these are the only times you're allowed to set foot in that room. There are too many fancy trinkets, fragile ornaments, frilly throw pillows and over-the-top decorations in this room to be able to utilize it for any practical purpose. You've got to be careful before stepping foot into that room (which probably has carpet that your feet are not worthy of) or you'll get a (stupid and unnecessary) yelling that you won't (take seriously and that you'll) soon forget. That room isn't for being inside of, you idiot. It's for looking at and admiring from afar. Enjoy using it less than 3 times out of the 365 days of the year.

It's just slightly annoying.

I'm sure throw pillows and off-limits rooms aren't the only slightly annoying things to be found in our homes. Let us know what you think by posting here, tweeting here, or commenting on this post.

#935 Throw pillows

12+ pillows on one bed, really? That means 11+ pillows
soon to be on the ground and all over the room.

Flopping down on your bed after an exhausting day is one of the best feelings in the world. Why would you want to have to do the work of removing several pillows before doing the satisfying bed-flop, every time? Who cares if they're decorative? They're in my spot.

It's just slightly annoying.

#936 Getting in and out of a hammock

This picture must have been taken after
the 20 minute struggle.

A hammock is a great way to relax. Gently rocking on a hammock in the nice breeze on a warm day takes your mind to states of relaxation that nothing else can.

For some reason, when we see a hammock, our mind goes to that sense of perfect relaxation. We forget one important roadblock to relaxation. That roadblock is the struggle we encounter when trying to get into the hammock. Chances are likely that the hammock will flip and toss us onto the ground, hurting us both physically and emotionally as we are embarrassed by an inanimate object.

A more realistic picture of where you
will end up.

Do you sit down and then flip your legs over? Do you grip it with your hands and try to jump onto it? Do you tag team the whole process with a buddy? There's many ways to attempt to get in the hammock, but first-time success rates are definitely low. It may just be a mind over matter thing. Don't take no for an answer; that hammock must be conquered and relaxation much be achieved. Regardless of how you do it, get yourself on that hammock and show that thing who's boss.

You can be assured that the hard work will pay off...until you attempt to gracefully leave the hammock.

It's just slightly annoying.

#979 Wobbly tables

You'll most likely try to ignore this for quite some time before you come to the conclusion that your handwriting has been suffering a large blow and relaxing with your feet up on a table that rocks back and forth just isn't that nice. They should sell little pieces of cardboard to complement tables. Buy one table, get a piece of cardboard free. I'm looking at you IKEA.

It's just slightly annoying.
