The printer jams. The Wi-Fi drops. Someone chews loudly in silence. Life’s minor torments unite us all. These moments—frustrating, universal, deeply petty—deserve their own museum. They’re not tragedies, but tiny tests of patience that make you question your sanity or the universe’s sense of humor. Yet in their shared absurdity lies comfort: you’re not alone in wanting to scream into a pillow.
Imagine paying for a ballet and having this as your view the whole time.
You had ONE JOB, UPS!
"Sliding into depression, have a really bad cold, spent money I don’t have on a takeout pho and this is how it arrived."
When your candle gives up on you.
"One of them fell out my ear whilst I was on lunch break at work, now I have one functional AirPod and one gravy covered AirPod."
"Kitten knocked down my late cats pawprint ornament. My dog then destroyed it."
"I have had these slippers for a couple weeks and they’re already falling apart."
"Our new business hoodies just came in"
You can't tell can you?
"There's a leak ABOVE my bed"
"The gas receipt I need to submit to be reimbursed."
"Found this little guy after bringing in a ‘dead’ wasps nest"
"The spinner in our dish washer melted and now doesn't work."
That should NOT count as a three piece!
"Paid 70 USD for snake' nails."
"I slipped on the top of a flight of stairs while texting and my phone slipped out of my hand and bounced all the way down."
"Let our son open a present early and the game case was empty."
"Left my sunroof open all night while it was pouring rain."
"Car is already totaled, trying to find body parts to fix it….then awake to this surprise"
"Parked my car overnight on the street during my Portland visit."
