We all have small things that annoy us every day. I'm curious, what are some of yours?

Paper Coffee cups that drip every time you sip.

Make sure that you are sipping from the side opposite the seam that runs up the side of the cup. If you have a lid, put the hole on that opposite side as well. I believe this reduces the dripping.

SoundCloud/Pandora/Spotify advertisements!

My employer blocking SoundCloud!

I'm too far from the NYSE ground floor to hack the market!

Four hours after drinking coffee I become tired!

Good internet forums turning into meme generators!

Tinder girls ignoring me!

* These are actual annoyances.

Tinder girls ignoring me!

Highly recommend the book Modern Love. It's funny and entertaining, but it will also make you feel better/differently about online dating.

Ability to write properly only when paper is turned 90 degrees clockwise.

In iOS, I cannot copy a block of text from within an SMS message that I have received. I can only copy the entire block of text. I end up pasting it into Notes, and THEN selecting only the text that I want, which I then paste into its final destination app.

Lack of bidets.

Web pages that suddenly lock up Chrome for ten seconds or more while it apparently does nothing.

Windows apparently starting up and launching apps quickly but then requiring over a minute before anything will actually respond.
