So many modern annoyances seem minor when you look at a more global perspective. I know, it’s become a cliché over the past few years, but it’s true.

For instance.

1. My refrigerator is too full but there’s nothing I wanna eat.
2. I lost the remote. How do you turn the thing on?
3. My wallet’s too small.
4. Why does my favorite take-out close so early?
5. None of the ten outfits I tried on for the weekend quite do it. I’ll have to buy something new.
6. There’s no dip for the chips.
7. I can’t decide whether to take the trip to Paris with my sister or Hawaii with my mother. They’re both the same week.
8. My Fitbit doesn’t have a heart rate monitor.
9. The cleaner couldn’t make it last week. My bin’s almost full.
10. My toilet paper roll is too big for the holder.

My, aren’t we spoiled. What would you add to the list?

 

1. Fossils and rocks.
2. Butterflies and beetles.
3. Classical LPs.
4. And then tapes and CDs.
5. Paper clips. The colorful ones.
6. Concert programs. Add to that theater, opera, ballet playbills.
7. Books by the ton.
8. Correspondence and rejection slips.
9. Welcome brochures from visits to Quaker meetinghouses.
10. Tearsheets and clippings … graphics.

What about you?

Excluding the usual four-letter words.

1. You’re kidding.
2. You sure?
3. Whatcha thinkin’?
4. Let’s put it on the back burner.
5. What’s for dinner?
6. This sucks.
7. The Friend speaks my mind.
8. I’m stiff (and/or) achy.
9. Time for a ‘tini.
10. Yay!
