we all have those moments. like when the toast lands butter-side down, but it’s not the butter, it’s the way it landed, defying all known physics, just to spite you. or when your headphones snag on a doorknob for the third time in a minute. what’s your ultimate minor, rage-inducing, disproportionately upsetting everyday event?

    This is so dumb, but…

    I placed my pen on my desk, a bit towards the edge. I didn’t think about it rolling off. It started to, and I caught it, and moved it at a slightly different angle to stop it.

    It happened again, so I moved it again. Didn’t help.

    The third time, I grabbed it and was legit mad (why?) and just chucked it into the drawer.

    The fact that I got mad embarrassed me lol.

      Especially if you do it in front of someone and they ask if you’re okay.

      Yes, Susan, I appreciate your concern but let me limp off and hide my shame and concurrent outrageous anger.
