Life is hard.

Lots of things happen on a daily basis that can cause us to get unnecessarily stressed and potentially livid.

While there’s no genuine link between these things and actually having high blood pressure, here’s 25 things that I’ve decided are probably posing some sort of threat to our health.

 

1. Having the exact change for the bus.

2. Remembering upwards of 10,000 passwords on a daily basis for work, emails, alarms, etc.

3. Taylor Swift.

4. Ringing revenue.

5. Waiting for online purchases to arrive in time for something important.

7. Twink.

8. Pay and display parking.

9. Our immortality.

10. Waiting for an avocado to ripen.

13. Finding out you’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.

14. Trying to crack an egg without making a balls of it.

15. Coming up with excuses to get out of doing things.
