#841 Trying to find your spot or your people at the beach

Just look for your out-of-shape parents. Just look for your beach chairs. Just look for your guy friends who are acting like idiots. Just look for your girl friends that are laying out, catching some rays. Oh wait, everything is the same on the beach.

Even after hanging out in your claimed spot, you're bound to lose track of where you posted up after going for a leisurely walk down the beach.

It's just slightly annoying.

#842 Getting out of the parking lot after a concert or sporting event

You know you can walk faster than you'll be moving in your car. In fact, hey, there's someone walking faster than your car right now. The pros will park near exits of parking lots, but sometimes it's just not an option. It happens. And when it does...

It's just slightly annoying.

#843 Being put on a cell phone's speakerphone

Maybe if these things came with
cell phones, we wouldn't encounter
this slight annoyance.
It's often unnecessary and always impossible to make out what's being said.

It's just slightly annoying.

#844 Texting with greasy fingers

Your phone cringes when the waiter
brings your greaseburger out.
Greasy food and texting don't really mix. Go nosh on some fries while you text a buddy. Even if you're texting correctly with no big problems, you still can't feel good about the grease that's very clearly being smeared all over your screen or keyboard.

It's just slightly annoying.

#845 When cashiers ask you for your email address

I'd rather not be emailed three times a day with "unbeatable" tri-daily deals. My mailbox is cluttered enough from other spam mail. I know you might be fired for not asking me for my email address, Ms. Cashier Lady, so I'll cut you some slack, but honestly, take the hint from the rolling of my eyes or blatant dirty look I give you when you ask for my email address.

It's just slightly annoying.
