annoying

We don't live in a mathematically perfect world of right angles and whole numbers, and that's a problem. We're human, so off-center imperfections are the name of our game, and getting used to that reality never gets much easier. Just one "not my job" moment is enough to make something not work in a way that frustrates us completely, but there's not much we can do about it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being smart. The world needs smart people. Like a lot. The problem is that dumb people have a tendency to think that they're smart. It could be caused by narcissism. It could be due to the fact that social media gives people a whole lot of space to talk about themselves. Either way these brain tyrants who think they're literal geniuses have a peculiar way of somehow being condescending and stupid at the same time. It's maddening.

There's too much proof out there that kids are stupid and weird. Sure, they have a few legitimate reasons for their uncontrollable dumbness, like the fact that their brains aren't done developing. But that's not enough. These things will walk around like they own the place, getting their heads stuck in fences and spilling syrup everywhere. Kids are just weird and stupid people.

Sure, if the hill you're willing to die on costs four cents out of the charity bin, go ahead and die on that hill. Customers sometimes make demands with stupid implications, like this customer who wanted a pound of chicken wings and got less wings or this guy who demanded to ride in a go kart with no engine.

If someone is just giving something away for free, it's probably in your best interest to make your receiving of that item as convenient for them as possible. In this case, this person thought she could have free stuff delivered to her, an occurrence that is all too common with entitled folks and their frustrating demands.

We get it, most movies need a central conceit in order to make the plot actually work. No one is saying that every movie should end in five minutes with a phone call or the decision to "not stay at the creepy mansion." What gets frustrating is having to watch a bunch of movies that only work because the characters involved are unbelievably dumb. It's kind of like these unrealistic movie details that will never stop being annoying.

Time zones can be a bastard especially when the person you'r dealing with has no concept of empathy. And when the tables were turned, she couldn't even manage to skip happy hour and had to give up. Here's another entitled coworker who demanded a party and took all the leftovers. You can't help but be fascinated by the antics of an entitled Karen, like this one who tried and failed to scam a restaurant.

Work comes with a distinct set of expectations. As long as people are basically cooperative and don't get on each other's nerves, everyone can walk away happy. But sometimes a person's explosive personality, annoying habits, or smell can get in the way of that. Particularly bad coworkers will even steal lunches or use sonograms to trick their boyfriend.

Are we supposed to love the people around us all the time? Because their wire-consolidation and peanut-butter-eating habits make it really hard to maintain good faith in a relationship. It's not like someone's toilet paper strategy is tearing this family apart, but lord almighty couldn't you just put the goddamn roll on correctly like an adult? These are the many frustrating habits of people's spouses, and if you're with someone who does all of this, good luck.

The internet's full of mind titans and obnoxious "brainiacs" that spew off half baked sentiments that are wrapped up in flowery words with the intention to flex those fragile egos. Unfortunately, these brainiacs are blinded by the love they possess for hearing themselves talk, and thus don't realize that everyone else is having none of it. Hopefully you don't find yourself realizing you say a lot of the things mentioned in this list. But, if you do, never too late to change. 

Relationships take work, but it's nearly impossible to stamp out every bad habit someone has. Living with someone who leaves lights on, never replaces toilet paper and opens a new bag of cereal even though there's already one open can seriously weigh on the psyche. For some spousal drama, here's a picky eater husband who demanded fancier meals and a constantly late wife who's only on time when lied to.

Maybe we need to modernize our list of idioms, because a lot of them seem to be wishful thinking. Between the many contradictory sayings, the ones that can't stand to scrutiny, and the ones that are flat-out wrong, it seems like we're ready for an update. Some popular sayings are just kind of BS. And for others, the full versions of those classic sayings totally change their meaning.

Most of us have some sense of decorum online, but there also exists a group of cringey mind-tyrants who try way too hard to seem smart. It's a world of longwinded "takedowns" of okay tv shows, overly wordy self appraisals and paragraphs on not understanding jokes. Just a real fun group of bragging mind lords.

Tyrannical managers, dull coworkers and entitled customers. That's what anyone who's worked retail will tell you is their experience, day in, day out. Many of us will work in a store or restaurant at some point, and there's not much to do but battle through the daily grind and look at retail memes to dull the pain. For a fun story, here's an entitled customer who expected a store to stay open late just for them.

There are moments in our lives when, despite everyone's best efforts to keep us around, the benefits clearly don't outweigh the risks, and we have that freeing moment when we realize we can just leave. It can be a bad job or sketchy situation. Sometimes it just take a "screw this, I'm out" moment for us to notice that it's probably a better idea to set out for greener pastures.
