#849 Typing a capital i followed by a lower case L

It doesn't come up that often, but when it does, it's a bit hard to distinguish between letters. It comes up most in texts when people forget to use apostrophes or phones don't automatically insert them.

"Ill be right back." See the problem?

It's just slightly annoying.

#850 Toilets with a weak flush

You never know what's going in there. Toilets, you need to hit the gym more. Flushes should be strong and confident. There should be no doubt that whatever is going in the toilet is getting flushed down. I don't want to have to stare at the toilet after I flush to make sure the job is getting done.

It's just slightly annoying.

#851 Stepping in gum

You know it the second you do it and you're faced with a rather disgusting choice. Do you pick off the used gum that may have been frying in the sun all day? Or do you just let it be and feel the stickiness in every other step you take? It's a lose-lose situation.

Gum throwers of the world, stop throwing your gum on the ground!

It's just slightly annoying.

#852 Having something in your shoe


A tiny pebble, a thorn, part of your shoe lace, really anything that's not your socked foot. Try to ignore it all you want, shake that foot around, go ahead, but you know that you're going to have to stop what you're doing and fix the situation.

It's just slightly annoying.

#853 Pop-Tart crust

Ah, Pop-Tarts, the snack that many of us have grown up on as a kid. Your cinnamon sugar filling has always satisfied. Your strawberry goo has never let us down. How much time was spent, mouth salivating as we stared at the toaster oven waiting for you to cook, we will never know. It's a shame you were just a bit flawed. It's a shame you had to bite through the dry flavorless crust to get to your flavorful center. We tried avoiding the problem, we really did. Breaking the crust off really cut your surface area down quite a bit and it also took 30 seconds of our mornings that could have been spent watching cartoons. We'll still stand by you, Pop-Tarts, but it's time to lose the weight and cut the crust handles.


It's just slightly annoying.

...but thanks for the awesome breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack, Kellogg's.
