Everyday life can present you with things that make you want to use the facepalm emoji. Papers not being stapled together properly, the pull-ring on a can of Coke getting pulled without opening the tab, and that loading spiral you see when there’s a slow internet connection are just a couple of examples. Social media and phone cameras make it so much easier for us to capture these moments and share them with others who can totally relate.
1. If only you could drive past these big trucks.
2. Maybe your password is so strong that it’s wrong no matter what you do.
3. Promised something good and got shortchanged.
4. “Bit into a breadstick yesterday and found out it was more of a bread tube.”
5. That ever common problem with zippers
6. “Our flat TV fell flat on its screen.”
7. “The very definition of ’defeating the purpose.’”
8. “My belt loop got caught on the door handle.”
9. “This $5 lunch wrap is mostly tortilla.”
10. The laundry basket is just there!
11. The inside of the cone is as empty as your heart is when seeing it.
12. This bathroom stall lock cannot do what it was intended to do.
13. “When you have nothing but a $20 bill and the machine gives you only quarters as change...”
14. Sometimes those seals on packaged drinks are just too strong.
15. Some kid didn’t get their toy.
16. Followed the instructions and yet...
17. You went out rocking your new shoes and they brought home actual rocks.
18. When the snack you paid for gets stuck in the vending machine:
19. There are 2 of the same answers, you pick one and you’re wrong.
20. Touch screen phones are cooler than old phones until this happens.
21. When the last piece won’t fit:
Which of these do you think is the most irritating? Has any of them ever happened to you? Let us know.
