In a world filled with serious issues—like the ongoing struggle for equal pay and the presence of controversial political figures—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The news often feels like a daily report on how much worse things can get. Some days, it’s a challenge not to retreat into despair. But amidst the chaos, there are also those trivial annoyances that can give us a good chuckle or a reason to vent. Let’s take a moment to air our grievances about these minor irritations.
- The oversized thumbs-up on Facebook. It seems there’s a divide over this emoji. Some people use it as a friendly way to wrap up a conversation, while others treat it like a social faux pas that could end a friendship.
- Basic grammar errors. Here’s your friendly reminder: “judgment” doesn’t have an “e.” “Irregardless” is not a real word. And just to clarify, “literally” does not mean “figuratively”—even if some dictionaries have changed their definitions. So, let’s all just do better.
- Noisy eaters. No one wants to hear the sounds of your food being chewed. Please keep those mouth noises to yourself.
- Leaving chairs out. It’s common courtesy to push your chair back in. It’s not rocket science, folks.
- Facebook sales pitches for essential oils and leggings. Spoiler alert: it’s likely a pyramid scheme. Just say no.
- Slowpokes on the sidewalk. I appreciate a leisurely stroll, but if you’re moving at a snail’s pace, please step aside. Not everyone has the luxury of time!
- Vague posts on social media. I think there should be a law against vaguebooking and those overly cryptic status updates. Enough is enough!
- Blasting music in public. Heads up: headphones exist! They’re inexpensive and can save everyone from your music choices.
- Cashiers pushing store credit cards. I just came in for milk, not a credit card application. Spare me the sales pitch, please.
- Abandoned grocery carts. Parenthood is no excuse to be inconsiderate. Return your cart to its proper place.
- Celebrity overexposure. I get it, Joanna has a great aesthetic, but do we really need constant updates about her life? It feels a bit much.
- Invasion of personal space. Can we please respect boundaries? If I’m in line at the grocery store, I don’t want unsolicited conversation about banana deals, and if I’m at the theater, let’s keep a seat between us.
Ah, that feels better. Sometimes it’s just nice to let it out.
