NaBloPoMo - Day 20

After posting my list of the little things that bring me joy last week, I thought posting a list of the little things that annoy me could be fun too.

  • Time changes
  • Forgetting the one item I ran to the grocery store for to begin with
  • People who wear strong perfume
  • Junk mail
  • Calls from numbers I don't recognize that don't leave a message 
  • The smell of burnt microwave popcorn
  • Being put on speaker phone
  • Having that twitchy eye thing
  • People who talk using wireless headphones in public places
  • Grumpy cashiers
  • People stopping by unannounced
  • Drivers who tailgate
  • Forgetting my point in the middle of a conversation
  • Video calls of any kind
  • Looking for my phone while I'm talking on it
  • People who stand too close to me in line
  • Delivery drivers who put boxes in front of my outward swinging door
  • Shopping for clothing
  • Passwords that won't work when I enter them exactly as I created them
  • When I have to wear a bra
  • Forgetting why I walked into a room
  • Having a stiff neck
  • People who call immediately after I send them a text
  • People who talk while chewing
  • Paper straws
  • People who use talk-to-text who don't check for errors before sending
  • Banging my toes on furniture
  • When my words come out jumbled
  • Having to sneeze, but it gets stuck
  • Not noticing a change autocorrect made until after sending a message
  • Tags sewn into the neck of clothing

What are some of the little things in life that annoy you?

NaBloPoMo - Day 11

My family and friends bring more happiness to my life than anything else possibly could. With that said, here's a list of some of the little things in life that bring me joy.  

  • A hot cup of coffee in the morning
  • Falling asleep to the sound of rain
  • The smell of a good barbecue
  • Laughing until I cry
  • Days when I have nothing I have to do
  • Warm, freshly baked cookies
  • Inside jokes between friends
  • The sound of the waves crashing at the beach
  • A really good meal
  • Holding doors for people who say thank you
  • A nice cool pool on a hot summer day
  • The smell of popcorn at the movie theater
  • Good friends that I've never even met
  • When a person's laugh is funnier than the joke
  • Seeing a beautiful sunrise or sunset
  • Watching my grandbabies sleep 
  • Long phone calls with an old friend
  • The smell of fresh bread baking
  • Children and teenagers with good manners
  • Days I don't have to set an alarm to get up
  • Songs that make me want to play air guitar
  • Seeing babies laugh or smile
  • Crossing the last thing off my to-do list on a busy day
  • Being totally absorbed in a good book
  • Walking barefoot on the beach
  • Getting into bed with freshly laundered sheets
