Driving Me Crazy- Part 2

There are still some basic life issues that make no sense. In a world full of geniuses, there should only be progress. Life can be incredibly unpredictable, and it is not uncommon for us to encounter various inconveniences throughout our daily routines.

Irritating inconvenience is packaging.

·       Those stickers on products that leave sticker residue when pulling them off. So now you have sticky goo with paper bits on your cup.

·       When a package says 'peel here,' 'tear here,' or nothing at all, and it never works, you need scissors, a knife, or a hammer and chisel to open the package. Or worse, in the boxes where the flap is glued, you pull the thing, and it just tears off the box. Then, you're forced to rip the box apart with your bare hands to get to the product.

Inferior audio quality.

·       Fast food drive-thru speakers. How in 2024 can it even sound that bad?

·       The music volume in movies is much louder than the dialogue.

·       And commercials blaring louder than the feature show.

Hard taco shell packaging. It should read, “12 shells, nine after you open them”.

Cereal bags do not have a zipper closure, so the cereal gets stale quicker, and you have to throw it away, forcing you to buy a replacement.

Intermittent WiFi connection.

·        Your story is not uploading to Instagram or Facebook

·        Your streaming constantly buffers when you have more than enough download speed.

·        Dies unexpectedly, forcing you to reboot and wait for 30 minutes.

·        The cost!

 

Telephone calls from an unknown number or getting a call from someone who can't speak English.

 

·        Running out of phone battery.

·        Running out of mobile phone data or a lost signal.

·        Auto-correct on your phone.

·        The size of the keyboard.

When your computer seemingly needs to ‘update’ every morning, and the mega ads that pop up on your browser cover your page, and you gotta hunt for that tiny little X in the corner and carefully click on it so that the ad doesn't get clicked and lead you to another page.

 

Not being able to find the end of the sticky tape.

A garden hose with kinks in it.

And, the worst- forgetting your password.
