1. Untangling Headphones

All you’re trying to do is just zone out and listen to some tunes (it’s “Eye of the Tiger,” we won’t tell anyone) before your day starts, and you pull your headphones out only to discover that they’ve got themselves all tangled up in a heap of trouble. Headphones have been around for like a hundred years. We really don’t have a solution for this yet?

2. Anything at the DMV

If the DMV had existed back when Dante wrote his Inferno, there would’ve been a separate level of hell reserved just for it.

3. Videos

When a video is less than a minute long, how can we possibly be expected as a society to wait another five or even 15 SECONDS for the newest cute cat video to load? No. We need to see that cat right meow.

4. Public Transportation

When you’re coming home after a long day of work (or “recreational activities”), there’s no way anyone can possibly be bothered with a commute like this.

It should be more like this:

5. Falling asleep

After finally getting home after such an egregious commute, all you want to do is go to bed…but instead, you end up thinking about when Becky in accounting said she didn’t like your shirt and how are you supposed to get all your laundry done tomorrow?

6. Two-part TV Seasons

You’ve already powered through six seasons to get this far — or six years if you endured a series in real time — and now the network splits the final season in two? With an 11-month break in between? NO.

7. Customer Service

Sometimes it might feel like there’s no one on the other end of the line, and hey, yeah, it’s probably a bot. But at least you can imagine that there are a bunch of cats over there. There there. Much better.

8. Pre-pre-movie Rolls

Missing previews is one thing (aka you might as well just go home), but do we really need to know a little bit more about a movie that doesn’t come out for six months and then take a ride down a space roller coaster to learn about snacks we wish we already had? No.

9. Shipping

Yes, buying things online is convenient and usually cost-effective, but has everyone forgotten it still takes approximately forever (two days) to receive packages??

10. Airport Security

Letting someone borrow your phone is nerve-racking enough, but your wallet, shoes, and belt too? How about we just put ourselves in the bin... It’d be faster and more fun.

11. A Parking Space

Listen, we all have things to do. Just because you think your errands are more important than ours doesn’t mean you get to make up your own parking space. We’re living in a SOCIETY.

12. Resetting a Router

How long does it take to reset a router — like, a few minutes? What are you supposed to do in that time? No, literally: WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?

13. Any Line, for Anything

Nothing summons an existential crisis like waiting in line. Like, why do we obey lines anyway? Who invented them? Is that their legacy? What about mine? What time is it? WHAT IS TIME?
