Default 10 Annoying First-World Problems

Some will make you want to tear out your hair (if you have any).

Cheap packing tape which is almost impossible to “start” and when ya do, it comes off in slivers, so ya end up wasting half the roll just to get it started. Pay for brand-names like Scotch or 3M etc and you’ll save money in the long run.

Waiting 20 or 30 minutes for a yard train to get off of the RR crossing at rush hour. Same with street maintenance crews blocking a lane or two also at rush hour.

Huge bubble packing for small items that can’t be opened without a sharp utility knife.

Suit jackets with useless fake side pockets. Lift the flap, stick your hand in, and encounter a seam.

Paying a fee and needing a “subscription” for heated seats, heated steering wheels, AM/FM radios and whatever in new cars.

Rock hard butter and soft bread. If my microwave breaks down, I’ll replace in less than an hour.

The “No Tip” option on a wireless debit machine that has to be poked and punched several times, sometimes with a pen or “pointy” object, to get it to work. The other tip buttons work perfectly.

“Pull Here To Open”.

Plastic wrap that sticks so well to itself that it’s hard to separate, but doesn’t seem to want to stick to anything else.

Tons of people at a supermarket with only one checkout open. They want to force people to self-checkout to reduce staff wages, but prices never come down.
