Playing off the list I recently made of things that make me happy, my mind started swirling with things that do quite the opposite. It was nothing too intense or traumatic, it was just things that irk me. The things, to put it lightly, I’d just rather not come into contact with in my day to day life. For example:

1. Spoilers (i.e movie endings, sports results, etc.)
2. Unwarranted rudeness
3. Hidden pickles in hamburgers
4. Chewing noises
5. Lack of decision making
6. Decision making
7. People who don’t use their blinkers
8. People who walk slow
9. Clothes tags
10. Nuts in chocolate
11. When lotion dries out and hardens
12. Crooked or off-center picture frames
13. Online articles that promise you lists but give long paragraphs or glitchy slideshows
14. People who cheat-merge on the freeway (a.k.a wait way longer than they should to merge and then cut you off)
15. Dictionary definitions that tell you nothing (for example: if you looked up “protagonist” and it told you something like “the opposite of an antagonist”)
16. Autocorrects that make no sense (I’m looking at you “haga”)
17. A dirty kitchen
18. Static
19. When socks slip off inside your shoes
20. Being unable to think of anything else to say to someone besides a vague comment about the weather
21. Car commercials that trick you into thinking they’re advertising something else
22. Car commercials in general
23. Wind
24. The fact that it never seems to get any easier to wake up for work on time
25. Finally mustering up the energy to go to the doctor, only to feel 100% fine when you get there
26. Stores with too many scents
27. My sensitive stomach that gets motion sickness from EVERYTHING
28. People who say “you look tired.”
29. TV episodes (especially season finales) that end with “to be continued”
30. Getting sunburned in the ONE spot you managed to miss
31. Tea
32. Loose fitting shoes
33. Inconsistency (for example: when the first edition of this post was 34 items long, but this one is only 33…)
