#915 Impossible CAPTCHA codes

It's already a pain to type in all of the information requested of us when filling out online forms. The last thing we need to deal with is this:
















CAPTCHA creators are definitely laughing at how much they can get away with. But hey, what choice do we have? We want our forms sent through the world wide web. So, CAPTCHA creators, do your best, we'll get it one of these times.

It's just slightly annoying.

#916 When you open your car door and snow falls onto your seat

In the end, this man's hard work will
probably be rewarded with a snowy seat.
This is a pretty immediate slight annoyance when it's snowy outside. You open you car door and bam. It's too late. It's over. There's a nice pile of snow right where you want to sit and there's nothing you can do about it. Brushing it away is the obvious go-to move, but it doesn't matter; your seat is already wet and cold. Listen up Mother Nature, if we wanted a wet, cold, uncomfortable seat, we would have sat down on a cold toilet seat or worn khaki shorts on the log flume.

It's just slightly annoying.

#917 Squeaky chairs

Similar to having a running nose, once you've got this, all eyes in the room are on you. You are the cause of slight annoyance to not only yourself, but also everyone else in the room. Every little movement of yours is broadcasted to the whole room in a ridiculously loud fashion. If you make even the slightest movements enough times, you might even get the reputation as "fidgety."

But hey, don't let yourself feel like the last kid to be picked in gym class. After days that you get stuck with the squeaky chair, come back here and watch this, from 0:25 on, and remember, it's not your fault. Damn chair making companies. They must be in cahoots with wobbly table makers.


It's just slightly annoying.

#918 Shopping carts with one bad wheel

Forget joyriding carts down the empty aisles of the grocery store and across vast parking lots. Instead, enjoy exerting double the effort to push your screeching cart with great dissatisfaction around corners and customers.

It's just slightly annoying.

#919 When your TV and cable box aren't in sync

Hit the power button, TV turns on and your cable box stays off. Blank screen.
Hit the power button again, TV turns off and your cable box turns on. Blank screen.
Hit the power button again, TV turns on and your cable box turns off. Blank screen.

I'd like to say it ends here because we immediately realize what's going on and we fix the problem. Let's not lie to ourselves though.

It's just slightly annoying.
