#910 Pooping right after you shower

On the right: a water fountain for your
butt, also known as a bidet.
This may be considered one of the more PG 13 posts, but these two truths are undeniable: everybody poops, and when something is slightly annoying, it's slightly annoying, and that's that.

Without getting into too much detail, pooping right after a shower just feels like there was no point of taking a shower. It feels like getting dirty right after getting clean. It's a poorly timed, counter productive bodily function to say the least. I think the French are one step ahead of the game with their bidets. To all of you French readers, I tip my hat to you and acknowledge that perhaps this post is not for you.

It's just slightly annoying.

#911 Refolding a map

This is a slight annoyance that no mere mortal can avoid. If you've ever opened a map, you have undoubtedly struggled to refold it. It won't fold at the creases, you'll forget which pages go on top of what, and you will inevitably find yourself stumped by what appears to be the simplest of tasks.

You may think that you've won the battle when you get to crinkle the map up and stuff it back into your glove compartment, but let's face it, the map has won, and always will win, the war.

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.

#913 Writing cover letters


Some people argue that cover letters are a necessary evil.

That's a questionable description for a cover letter. It's definitely less necessary than evil. There's no way any hiring manager likes to read the hundreds of cover letters they receive. So, hiring managers, why require them?

I wonder if there's a correlation between the amount of employers that want cover letters with your resume and unemployment rates.

It's just slightly annoying.

#914 Unusable broken chips at the bottom of the bag

All guilty of hiding unusable broken chips.
You can't reach them. You can't dip them. You can't even pick them up with your hands. The best you can do is turn that bag upside down and enjoy the pieces of chips as they cut your throat on the way down. Mmmmmm.

They should make a bag that can't crinkle. Problem solved.
