Just… Why? Nineteen Things That Life Is Far Too Short To Tolerate

Just... No.

Sue Murphy

Let’s be entirely honest here, we like to have the odd rant and every now and again but honestly, sometimes life is too short for all that. So we thought we might write out the entire list here and just be done with it… forever. Well, we will try at least.

1. Captchas

How good are robots at booking flights? WHY DO I NEED TO DO THIS? Oh great, that was the wrong letters. I can’t read that one either. Have I aged since this process began?

2. People walking really slowly in front of you.

You know when you are really belting it down the street, rushing to a location where you have to be at a certain time and someone turns the corner in front of you and BAM, you are now walking like a snail. GET OUT OF MY WAY!

3. Bag dimensions.

You want me to measure my bag dimensions? Sorry, there’s some grass over there I have to count.

Packed

4. People who wait at a bus stop and do not count their change before getting on the bus.

You were standing there waiting for ten whole minutes!!! Why are you now counting out your change ON the bus for the fare?

5. Headphones being… really annoying.

You just put them down five minutes ago but they seem to have done some dance and tangled themselves into a knot.

6. Drama.

Drama, drama, drama. Just no. Avoid.

7. Haters

Let your haters be your motivators! MOTIVATIONAL!

8. Worrying TOO much about what you eat.

We are not suggesting you throw all of your good eating techniques out the window or commit to a life of take aways and bad drinks, but we are saying treat yourself every now and again.

9. Fake Small Talk

We don’t like each other very much, do we? Let’s not waste each other’s time talking about the weather. It’s just a little depressing.

10. Negativity

Honestly, it’s not worth it. We feel like there could be some kind of a positive comment issued here, but don’t need one.

11. ATMs not dispensing 10 euro note.

WHYYYYY? Why can I not take ten euro out of MY OWN ACCOUNT?

12. Stop worrying about what other people think.

People are going to like you, others are going to hate you but it certainly isn’t worth worrying about it. You can’t please all of the people all of the time!

13. Life is too short for kid’s packs.

Yes, thank you for the NINE SMARTIES IN THIS BAG! WHAT IS THIS?!? GIVE ME A REAL BAG OF SWEETS!

14. No service on your phone.

Is this, yes this is the 21st century right?

15. Unnecessary hashtags.

#great #somuchfun #havingagreattime #nofilter #sun #WEGETTHEPOINT

16. Stepping on plugs.

This should just not be allowed to happen. Why are they even built like that?

17. Losing your keys.

They were in my hands like two seconds ago, where the hell are they now? How in God’s name did they go missing in that space of time??!

18. Odd socks.

We put both of you in the washing machine, where did the other go? WHERE IS THAT AMAZING LAND FULL OF SOCKS?!

19. Umbrellas.

We know what they are trying to achieve with them, but it doesn’t always work out that way, does it? No, they usually end up inside out, abandoned on street corners.
