#886 People who don't eat the crust

How are you going to eat 95% of your food and just leave the rest? In some countries, that's punishable by death (citation needed). It's only a few more bites. Delicious bites.

You people may be slightly annoying but I am slightly grateful for you. 10 times out of 10, I will be the guy that asks...you gonna eat that? Chances are that if I asked you, I know you're one of these people. That crust is mine, thank you.

It's just slightly annoying.

#887 Cover charges

Keep up the good work!
Oh, really? I have to pay to get inside of your building? Perfect.

Oh, really? Even though I already paid you for nothing, everything is still way overpriced? Even better.

Let's live in a world where people pay us to go into their building instead of the opposite. That sounds like the kind of world I want to live in.

It's just slightly annoying.

#888 Not being able to touch anything after eating wings

Mmmm...chicken wings. It's amazing that this food's sauce can render our hands useless. After our hands are covered in sauce, we abandon our opposable thumbs and we pick things up with the awkward wrist grab. You know the one.

The awkward "my hands are covered in sauce" wrist grab is simple. Put your arms out straight in front of you. Turn them so that each palm is facing each other. Point your palms straight out in front of you. Pick things up not with your hands, but instead by placing them in between your wrists. Be sure to fumble around with whatever your picking up, dropping it several times and knocking over over things in the process.

It's just slightly annoying.

#889 Not being able to find where the roll of tape starts

This can't be our fault. Let's blame it on the tape creators. You can't see the start of the tape and you can barely feel it.  Come on Scotch, can't you put a little marker indicating where the tape starts? We don't need the embarrassment, aggravation and the time consumption that is brought on by your camouflaged starting point.

It's just slightly annoying.

#890 Note cards that don't have lines on either side

How are we supposed to write in a straight line if there are no lines to guide us? Where is the point of reference on these cards?

I feel like I may or may not be in limbo (Inception reference, work with me here) when writing on these lineless note cards. It's dangerous when anything goes.

It's just slightly annoying.
