5 Things That Just Need To Be Stopped

Inequality, world hunger, and armed conflicts aside, here are some things that should just stop happening- preferably now.

1. Joint Facebook Accounts

These couples just take the whole "one flesh" thing a little too far. You know who I mean. They're the ones that have their names squished together, often separated by an "N" (think "johnNjane Doe"). Sometimes it's hard to tell who is sharing and commenting....and then you have to decipher if your friend is adorable or if her husband is creepy. Ah, if only facebook were COMPLETELY FREE.

2. Impossible Razor Blade Packaging

First, to buy one, you have to get special permission from a sales associate since they are LOCKED in a case like treasures ready to be taken captive by Ocean's 11. Then, when you get home, the tyranny continues as mere mortal scissors are no match to the mighty container from which it refuses to emerge. WHY?

3. Passive-aggressive Fast Food Ads

Ummmm....when was the last time you were actually bragging about your bacon burger at lunch? Who is the target audience here? I'm pretty sure that 1. most of us eat fast food alone, on-the-go, and/or shamefully and 2. when we are consuming fast food, we don't feel like being burger-shamed by some annoying coworker. That's NOT better.

4. Social Media Breast Cancer "Awareness"

Posting your bra color, where you like to place your purse, that you're expecting when you're not, that you won the lottery, that you're going on some extended trip based on when your birthday is, etc. only brings awareness to the fact that you are, indeed, a moron. You have provided no other helpful information that that.

5. Gut-wrenching Anti-smoking Campaigns

It's 2014 and we've all been through D.A.R.E. (and, subsequently, told all of our relatives why they need to quit immediately); I think everyone knows how bad smoking is for you. Why do we still have to suffer?
