#828 Stubbing your toe

It's such a stupid and embarrassing way to hurt yourself. No matter what you stub it on, it's ultimately your fault for not watching where you were walking. It usually doesn't hurt enough to be extremely painful really annoying but hey...

It's just slightly annoying.

#922 Sleeping with contacts in

Sorry to all of you with the blessing of perfect vision, but you may not be able to relate to this one.

Besides the usual daily nuisance that contacts are during the day, they are also slightly annoying for other reasons. Contact wearers of the world, you know what I'm talking about. It's not fun sleeping with contacts in and waking up with painfully dried out eyes, contacts glued to your eyeballs and a feeling of general discomfort. Whatever little fairy that puts those crummy "sleepies" in our eyes at night should also give our eyes a nice little lubricating spritz of refreshment.

It's just slightly annoying.

#966 Static electricity shocks

All seems well as you get out of bed in the morning to start your day. You shuffle across the room, grab your door handle and ZAP. Thanks to static electricity, you are now starting your day off with a bang.

Static electricity shocks don't hurt enough to be really annoying or to be something deemed as "painful," but it's certainly something we take into account when making decisions throughout everyday life. Static shocks are intimidating enough for us to slow down considerably before touching something, to live in a constant mild fear, and to occasionally avoid contact with people. In some cases, static shocks are even intimidating enough to take innocent childrens' lunch money.

There's always that one fearless jerk who knows that when you slide out of your car, gathering static, you will be trying to avoid contact with anything and anyone at all costs. To steal this jerk's thunder, I reccomend that you go the kamikaze way and shock yourself.

To explain what static electricity is and how it is discharged, we go to Bill Nye, everyone's favorite science hero, to watch him laugh in the face of static electricity.


Still not sinking in? Jam out to The Stinky Socks in their smash hit, Static Electricity.



Sure, these videos are fun. But a static electricity shock?

It's just slightly annoying.
