#oneaday Day 98: A Non-Comprehensive List of Minor Annoyances

Good morning. Here is a non-comprehensive list of minor annoyances. #relatable

• People who won't write emails like normal human beings

• People who ask you if you're doing the thing you've been doing for the last two hours

• The fact that the Internet has conditioned me to mentally add "…and so have I" any time I see the words "The time has come", regardless of context

• Masterchef

• YouTube jumpcuts

• That thing where you're carrying a cup of coffee and you don't bang it on anything, but it still goes "bloop" and splashes out of the top of it, seemingly in defiance of normal physics

• Needing a poo but having a sore bum

• Software tools that have been built for a specific purpose, but are infinitely worse than off-the-peg more general solutions that do the same thing

• Twitter

• Verification emails that don't come through immediately

• Notifications

• Notifications on sites that really don't need a notification system (hello, Netflix)

• That particular breed of pop-up ad that only appears when you've scrolled halfway down an article

• Wikia changing its name to "Fandom" and trying to make out it's some sort of legitimate journalistic source when in fact, aside from the fan-made content, it's just clickbait garbage

• Buzzfeed's continued existence

• Having an itch that won't go away

• Dry skin

• The fact that the PS4's "wake up from sleep" sequence takes longer than a cold boot of the Nintendo Switch

• Monday

• Tuesday

• Wednesday

• Thursday

• Friday

• Sunday evening

• The fact that however much you tidy up, it will always get untidy again within a matter of minutes, particularly if you're depressed

• Not knowing how to end lists
