Everyone knows that little things can make a difference . On the flip side, though, the little things often go entirely unnoticed. That’s kind of how it works with things that are too small to notice.
These little things don’t really make much of a difference, but they also don’t fly under the radar. Sometimes, it even gets a bit frustrating .
RELATED STORIES
“My bag of chips says who made it. Thanks Christina!”
I’m not sure if Christina the chipmaker ever wonders if the people who eat the chips think about her. Here’s photographic proof that all of her hard work has been noticed.
“These chairs going into the wall at the airport.”
After looking at this photo for some time, I’m just about certain it’s a real pic and not from a video game. That’s weird, because I’ve only ever seen this kind of clipping happen in a video game.
“A bullet came downwards through my sister’s window after New Years.”
Is it good luck or bad luck if a bullet comes crashing through your window at the stroke of midnight? I’m not too sure, but it might be an indicator that you should find a new neighborhood.
“I got new Faber-Castell color pencils today and I saw this pencil’s label.”
This is the kind of minor annoyance that’s almost impossible to look past. I mean, no matter how neat and tidy you get this set of colored pencils, that one outlier will forever mock you.
“Pants I got for Christmas came with the security tag.”
I once ordered a shirt online that came with an electronic security tag. After smashing it with a rock, it came right off. Unfortunately, a gentler touch is required with these dye packs.
“This repugnant toe right next to my daughter on a flight.”
You can kind of tell that everyone’s trying to just ignore the foot and get on with the flight, but that’s pretty hard to do. This is a terrible situation to be in if you’re socially awkward.
“You’re out of gas. Which side of the pump do you pull next to?”
Every car has a handy arrow somewhere on the dashboard to tell you where the gas tank is. Some cars, in fact, are so handy that they have two arrows, pointing in opposite directions.
“New OCD meds: they’re just [expletive] with me at this point.”
I thought meds were supposed to help you with your problems, not mock you for having them. Why couldn’t this blister pack just have one more pill in it?
“Wife and I saved for years to build our dream cabin in the woods and less that two years later an abandoned house across the road decided to open up a tobacco store and light themselves up like the beacons of Gondor.”
This is the side of off-grid living they don’t tell you about: when a tobacco store randomly opens up next store.
“I dropped a pickle jar lid directly in the drain & can’t get it out :(“
This might seem like an impossible thing to fix, but it really isn’t all that complicated. All you need to do is pack up all of your things, sell your house and find a new place to live.
“Most of the outlets in this room are near the celling. Just why?”
Forget the outlets. The sheer amount of plastic covers on this wall gives me anxiety. What are they all for? Who decided to install them in such a haphazard way?
“My brother ‘salted’ the driveway.”
Everyone knows that the key to salting a driveway is to meander around in random loop-de-loops, occasionally flinging a handful of salt wherever. It’ll all work out in the end, right? At the very least, it’ll make a fun design.
“My Doordash delivery was left up against the only door to my apartment so the door could barely be opened, then the dasher took the delivery verification photo… of me struggling to get the food because I couldn’t open the door.”
I love how you can see the shadow of the uncaring delivery driver as they photograph the struggle.
“Doesn’t fit.”
If the last piece of the puzzle doesn’t fit, it means you’ll just have to be satisfied with what you have. This is impossible, of course, because seeing an incomplete puzzle is objectively infuriating to anyone who might see it.
“These lights at the mall.”
If you’ve done home repair like me, and are bad at home repair like me, you’ve probably had an experience like this: one where you really should have measured, but figured the eyeball test would be good enough.
“My mom erased part of the world while cleaning my globe.”
Do you ever look at a globe and think that the northern hemisphere is looking a little, well, non-existent? If so, track down your mom and ask what cleaning supplies she’s using.
“I feel betrayed.”
This is technically an M&M ice cream sandwich, in that there is one (1) M&M on it. I mean, it might not be a satisfying M&M ice cream sandwich, but at least it isn’t technically some kind of fraud.
“I live in Central Alberta, it got down to roughly -45°C tonight. Woke up to frost in the corner of my bedroom.”
It’s always fun when the temperatures get so cold outside that they decide to come inside and share the chill with you.
“This tile at my school.”
This kind of design is always a bit trippy, but I’m fascinated by the fact that it has one ‘cube’ that isn’t quite like the others. I wonder if it was intentional or just a random mistake.
“This artist painting directly on the frame.”
It’s a bold move, particularly when most art isn’t created with a frame, but I kind of like it. It brings the painting to life and brings a three-dimensional aspect to the art.
