There are a lot of things in life that make me mad! So many things!
(The order of this list is not of any significance)
1. Bag "full" of chips
Half the bag is just air! I always think there are chips filled up to the top, but there isn't. I'm especially furious when I'm hungry because I have to get another bag to satiate my hunger.
2. Vending machine snack gets stuck!
My snack is on the tip of the shelf, but it's not falling... I hit against the glass, but the snack doesn't budge. Discouraged, I put in another $1.25 to hopefully get two snacks and not feel like I wasted my money. The first snack falls, but the second one is the one that gets stuck now. When I finally walk away from the machine, I end up with 5 of the same snack.
3. No more of limited sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW)
My favorite days of the week are Tuesday and Thursday. Why? On Tuesday, traditional chicken wings at BWW are half the price, and on Thursday, boneless wings are half the price. My usual order consists of 20 wings (traditional or boneless depending on the day).
These are the usual sauces I get, and how much of each I get:
Asian Zing (8)
Honey Barbecue (7)
Teriyaki (5)
But sometimes, there are special sauces that only come out for a limited amount of time. These sauces also have a limited supply; it's first come first serve. Out of those special sauces, the one that keeps me up at night is the Korean Barbecue sauce. This sauce is delicious. I was lucky enough to get a taste this one day because it wasn't busy at the restaurant. Ever since, whenever I ask for this special sauce, they never have it! This is because I always go to BWW after school, and the sauce runs out.
If they had Korean Barbecue, this would be my order of 20 wings:
Korean Barbecue (8)
Asian Zing (7)
Honey Barbecue (5)
Sadly, this order hasn't been made for 3 months :(
4. Spotify Ads
I like to listen to music. Most of the time, I listen to music on Spotify, which is a great app that allows users to stream songs for free. However, every about 2 or 3 songs, there's always an ad. Most of these ads are promoting Spotify Premium, which allows users to listen to songs ad-free and offline. Spotify Premium is amazing, but I'm not paying $10 a month to listen to music. There's about 3 or 4 ads that Spotify recycles to promote Premium, and it's gotten on my nerves a little bit. But as I think about the songs I get to listen to free, I calm down and become thankful.
The other portion of ads is like any other ad you see on television. One day, you might hear a Wendy's ad and another a Toyota ad. In this pool of ads, there's nothing that makes me more infuriated than scary movie trailers. After a tiring day, all I want to do is lie down, put my earbuds in, and chill out to my favorite playlists. While listening, I suddenly hear screaming and the creepy narrator voice in every scary movie trailer; I quickly take my earbuds out and throw them as far as I can. At that moment, I'm irate; all I was doing was trying to relax, and now I had to go to sleep with the lights on.
5. WiFi is one bar only, and you can't use LTE (data)
Hopefully, I'm not the only one that experienced this situation: I'm walking on the street (usually on the U of I Campus), and my phone has one bar of WiFi. A WiFi signal with one bar does absolutely nothing for you. A WiFi with one signal is a hoax: you think there's actually WiFi, but there isn't; you've been deceived by IllinoisNet.
Whenever, this happens, I have to turn my WiFi off, so I can use my data and continue playing Pokemon Go.
6. My morning alarm ringtone
I still have the default Apple alarm ringtone, and I detest the sound it makes. It's 7 am in the morning, and every time I hear that dreadful sound, I wish I could turn it off with my mind. I can barely open my eyes–probably still between the state of dreaming and living. Thinking about it now, I probably wouldn't be as mad if I went to sleep earlier.
Looking back at what I just wrote, I sound spoiled and egotistical.
On a more serious note, my philosophy is that there has to be moments that provoke negative emotions in people. If nothing makes someone mad or sad, how will someone know what makes him or her happy? We must have a mixture of emotions to distinguish what makes us happy.
Always being happy will make you lose a sense of what's supposed to be happy. Yeah, it would be convenient for me to turn my alarm off with my mind, but if I can do things like that, then would I consider anything to make me mad? If everything goes the way I want it to go, then life would be very predictable and bland. What do you think?
