#865 When a car is driving too slow on the highway and you have to turn off cruise control

It's hard to get into a good consistent rhythm on the highway. When you finally get that open strip of highway in front of you, it's pretty exciting. Get that speed up to just the right place, hit the cruise control button and enjoy the ride.

As you cruise along, eventually you'll notice a speck on the edge of the horizon that's getting bigger and bigger. Yeah, you know what's about to happen. It might be a patch of traffic or it might just be one car. Whatever it is, it's definitely going slower than the speed that you're cruising at. Tap that break, turn off the cruise control, say goodbye to smooth sailing and hello to this slight annoyance.

It's just slightly annoying.

#866 When your paper doesn't reach the minimum requirement after double spacing it

Double spacing is awesome. It's the greatest confidence booster than can possibly come out of writing for hours on end. The anticipation builds as you finish your paper, knowing the magic you're about to pull of. One click and boom, you've reached the minimum requirement and more.

So what happens when the magic doesn't work?

Click. Wait a second, what's going on here? Not cool. You can't possibly be expected to write more than you already wrote! You counted your single spaced pages, doubling that should have been enough! Well, the pages don't lie, but come on, you know what to do. Fix up those margins. Make those periods a font size bigger. Widen the spacing between those letters. If none of that does the trick, it's time to get those fingers busy typing. When double spacing magic fails us....

It's just slightly annoying.

#867 The sound of a construction vehicle or truck backing up

What, your beeping didn't help you here?

Truck drivers love to back up. They really do. If they are driving construction vehicles, they will love to back up really early in the morning. I would like to meet the person who made these beeps a necessity.

Who ran into the back of a truck because it wasn't constantly beeping when it was in reverse?

It's just slightly annoying.

#868 Automatic toilets that flush before you're done using them

Hey toilets, what's your hurry? Just because you're all sophisticated and automatic doesn't mean you get to flush whenever you want. Do you have somewhere to be? Maybe a hot date later?

And besides, you're scaring the h-e-double hockey sticks out of us when you randomly flush on us.

It's just slightly annoying.

#869 Being near someone with the same name as you

Hello, my name is "unoriginal.

Need I say more? This constant confusion leads to a constant let-down as you discover that no, there's nobody calling your name.


It's just slightly annoying.
