We bet you can think of your “small” thing right now. And if you can’t, here are 15 people who shared theirs among a recent Reddit thread. We couldn’t agree more with all of them!

Bumping Your Head
“Especially when I slightly touch something with my head (for example, when I slightly tilt my head back and touch the wall behind me), it startles me, I twitch in shock and hit my head on the wall in the process. Just happened in the shower. I tilted my head back to shampoo my hair and banged my head like this by the shower wall. SOOOOO pissed.”
-
Slow Car Cut-offs
“When a car pulls out right in front of me and then goes 20 mph under the speed limit anyway. why?????? Just wait then.”

-
Adult Tantrums
“For example, when someone tries to return something without a receipt and the manager says they can’t accept their return, so the person starts making a scene and the manager gives in. Nothing pisses me off more than people getting away with stuff when they know they’re in the wrong.”

Leaving the Toilet Unflushed
“A lady in our office would leave the bathroom with the roll of toilet paper hanging down into the garbage can. We moved the garbage can and mentioned it to her many times. Now, the toilet paper goes all the way to the floor. Last time I brought it up all she replied with was, ‘You don’t have kids yet so you are going to have to learn for that to not bother you.’ Yeah I don’t have kids but just because you do, it doesn’t give you an excuse to act like a kid here at work, Betsy.”
-
Slippery Keys
“When I throw my keys on the table and the slide off then I try again and they slide off again and I just say fu*k it and leave them on the floor.”
