Day One Hundred and Five, September Fifth

How some microwaves have a "time" button which you have to press before entering in the time for which you will microwave the food. This is completely useless, and causes confusion. The assumption is when you press a number button, you are entering in a time, and if you wanted to use a different mode, you could press that button. Often you walk up to an unfamiliar microwave and enter a time, to yield no results, as you had not yet gone through the completely stupid step of indicating to the microwave that you were indeed interested in using the time function. Microwave designers should step their game up, and stop making stupid errors.

Day One Hundred and Four, September Fourth

Having to write things out by hand. This old fashioned technique of notating ideas in very tedious and slow. It is much more efficient to write things out on a computer, where exhaustion is much less common. Also, it is much easier to correct and edit typed work, as you can readjust where things are on a page, whereas on paper, things are where you originally put them and there is no easy or good-looking way to change that. Other than short notes, all written material should be done on a computer.

Day One Hundred and Three, September Third

The word "spicy". It should mean a food with lots of spices, but people use it to describe a particular sharp flavour. The word "hot" is also inadequate because it can also be describing the temperature of the food in question. The English language needs a new word for this, because both of the most common ones used are no good.

Day One Hundred and Two, September Second

When music is playing quietly in the background. You are aware of its presence but can not appreciate it fully. Even when it is bad music, or music of a style that you dislike, it can be more annoying than when it is loud. Make sure that you music is audible. This rule is especially relevant in cars, where the stereo is sometimes naturally quieter in the back seats, and the people in the front are oblivious to the volume in the back.

Day One Hundred and One, September First

I'm back with fifty more annoyances!

The abundance of flavours of toothpaste. All of them have very non memorable and similar names, but are very different in taste. I can never remember if I prefer "clean mint" or "fresh mint" or any of the others. This can sometimes leave me with a less than satisfactory tube of toothpaste, which is very unpleasant.

Day One Hundred, July Nineth

Blogging everyday. It is very tedious and takes up an extraordinarily large amount of time. I feel like I really need a break from pouring my ideas into this blog everyday. In September, this blog will return for 50 more annoyances. Thank you to all my followers for their support and interest.

Day Ninety-nine, July Eighth

Gardening. Why do people put so much effort into an entirely aesthetic thing. It is very unpleasant, boring work without any significant reward other than a few compliments here and there. In the time when you were gardening, you could have gotten large amounts of things done, and could have saved all the money that would have been spent on equipment and plants. Even vegetable gardens seem somewhat pointless (although they are preferred) as the rewards do not nearly equal the work and money you put in. An hour spent gardening is an hour wasted.
