    If you wake up in the middle of the night and you have to pee, then do it. Ignored it once and ruined my whole week due to a bladder infection. Worst week ever.

    The so-called Murphy's general law claims: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong," and it's difficult not to agree, don't you? However, the corollary of this law is also true: if everything is fine with you, then there will definitely be some little thing that will ruin everything.

    Being on a seemingly eternal hold, listening to a looped message about how much they appreciate us. And how often do they change menus so that it's always " recently "?

    And it doesn’t really matter what it will be - an intrusive advertising popup on the site, some annoying physiological requirement of your own body, a driver who's too fast or too slow in your lane on the road, or a mini version of the rise of the machines when the terminal refuses to serve you and requires the presence of any human being - that’s it, the moment of bliss is missed!

    And even if we dealt with the problem in a matter of minutes or even seconds, that unique feeling that everything is damn good, pleasant and cozy will no longer exist, and it will take a long time to tune yourself to the previous incredible mood. It's little things like this that are annoying.

    “Yes, in fact, often our irritation is caused not so much by the minor inconvenience itself, but by the fact that it occurs at the wrong moment,” says Irina Matveeva, a psychologist and certified NLP specialist, whom Bored Panda asked for a comment here. “After all, many such cases occur precisely when we feel good - they play the role of, let's say, a fly in the ointment. And the flow of dopamine is interrupted - that’s what’s most offensive.”

    “Or we are already pre-wired to be irritated - there are days when literally everything goes awry, we slowly fume - and then some petty thing acts as the very straw that breaks the camel’s back. Well, that’s how our psyche actually works - and our body and mind also need some outburst of negativity."

    "Although, of course, the threshold of sensitivity to such little things varies from person to person. Some people get literally mad from the slightest inconvenience, while others stoically perceive one problem after another. In the end, we are all different, and in this diversity also lies our strength," Irina concludes.

    Rule to live by ... never run below a quarter tank. Iver time an amazing amount of sediments build up inside your tank, "Runnin' on empty" ... good song but deadly for a cars fuel filter and pump ... ie expensive

    Okay, be that as it may, we are pretty sure that you will also be interested in reading this list to the very end and, perhaps, adding your own small but annoying reasons to ruin any particular day. So, welcome to the comments below - after all, the more interesting opinions, the better, right?

    Not being a highway speed when merging off of a long on ramp and having a powerful car. Or not being willing to speed up or slow down when merging. I do not tailgate, there is always a ton of room between me and the car ahead. I also don't put up with being tailgated. If someone tailgates me, I just take my foot off the gas until they go around. So there is always a lot of room behind. But instead of slotting into the empty spaces, a lot of drivers expect me to adjust my speed to let them merge.

    At a Wendy's: "Could I get a straw? There wasn't one in my bag". "Yes there was". "I don't think so. I couldn't find one". "It was there. I remember". "Well, could I get another straw?" "I'm not allowed to do that".......I don't remember how this ended except strawlessly.

    We stopped using dishwasher because it took 2 days to fill and had to pull out and handwash half the stuff I needed anyway, now with the dirt all dried up. We have kitchen full of pots, pans and utensils but everybody just uses the same one favorite pan, pot and spatula, it just didn’t work for us. But hey I gained nice and big plastic bags storage!

    I'm more annoyed about the 15 emails that go back and forth to discuss a situation that could be explained in a max. 5 minute phone call.

    I went to 40-50 Rock concerts in the 70s, so that ship has sailed (I couldn't hear it, but I'm sure it sailed).

    It’s a scam in my area. It’s usually they’re off about five or six dollars making a fuss about transferring usually have a few kids with them and they basically wait until somebody goes oh OK I’ll get that last bit of it. I’ve seen it happen Multiple times out here and the cashiers just stare at them. I think they should kick them out a line start with the next person and then once they get their banking sorted out then do it they know it’s a scam.

    So all the "why is your phone in your lap" comments: you know there are things such as passengers, right? I don't drive (at all) and I've done this several times as a passenger. Most of the time my phone is in my bag but if I'm expecting a call, or having been looking something up for the journey, it will be in may lap.

    I seriously just park in the first bay I see and walk. No wasted fuel, plus exercise. I do hate people who park in the disabled bays though when they shouldn't

    When you are the one who has the right of way YOU GO WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN! You are not being "nice" by yielding when you should be going. Traffic moves much more quickly when people drive in an orderly manner.

    My sister used to borrow brand new w tags on clothes from me and I'd get them back stretched out with makeup all over the collar. Siblings.
