I don't know about you, but there moments on particularly stressful days where I feel like the smallest thing will tip me over the edge. They're by no means common, in fact I'd say they remain exceedingly rare, but I have noticed them happening more often as I get older, and it's not a trend I'm very happy with! I'd always prided myself on being able to keep myself from reaching that kind of fever pitch that leads to something ridiculous like a malfunctioning printer sending me careening off a cliff, yet the vast tapestry of life's stresses can grow so damn itchy and irritating that maybe it's a fate that's nigh on impossible to escape. Reddit had this topic on its mind the other day, when it asked the question: ''What's a tiny design flaw in an everyday object that quietly annoys you every single time you use it?' Uou can check out the full thread here, but below are some highlights:
